The First Rap-Influenced #1 on the Charts

1. Showing up everywhere on the charts today, rap started as an underground urban music genre, much like punk.
2. A punk band, in fact, was the first to bring a single including a rap bridge to the Billboard Hot 100 chart. 
3. Blondie, crossing the punk/R&B border, featured Debby Harry rapping the verses of the song.
4. (diagram!)  Becoming an instant karaoke classic, this song still rocks the planet.
