I remeber when Soldier Boy performed this back in the 80s, man was a real hero, stood up to the hood.

She was the first musician to rap on MTV

She was literally the first person to bring rap/hip hop to the masses period.

Funny how the dude at the end called this an attempt at rap. It was a no. 1 hit for hip hop, the first of its kind ever. It introduced the music to people who after listening to it still didn’t know what it was, yet. It was a true success.

Blondie is NOT a “her”
Blondie is a band.
Debbie Harry is a “her”

When something sounds good, it doesnt really matter what the song is about unless the words are derogatory like today's music, which ruins everything. I cant wait until the mental patients are removed from rap music so it can be clean fun again.
