    The DJ in Blondie's “Rapture” music video was actually Jean-Michel Basquiat. The last piece of the puzzle: the DJ. Grandmaster Flash was ostensibly supposed to play the turntables, but he was unable to make it. “I wanted to be in that video so bad,” Flash told The Post.Jul 7, 2021

    Singer Debbie Harry of the band "Blondie" became friends with Bronx-based hip-hop artists in the late 1970s. Debbi Harry went to a rap event in the Bronx one night in 1978, and she was impressed by the skill and excitement as MCs like Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five Fab 5 Freddy, rhymed lyrics over the beats of spinning records and people lined up for a chance to take the microphone and freestyle rap. Debbie Harry went to a few more such events, before deciding to write a rap song of her own in late 1979. She decided to combine what she had seen and heard in the Bronx with Chic-inspired disco music. The title "Rapture" was an obvious pun on rap.

    #1 on Billboard Chart, technically the first rap song to hit #1.

    That was Fab Five Freddy spray painting graffiti on the wall who was one of the pioneers of hip hop and rap. That was Jean Michel Basquiat the famous street artist DJing on the turn table. He was Madonna's boyfriend in late 82. They broke up because of his drug addiction. He eventually overdosed and died in 88. He was very talented and was gone too soon. Keith Haring the famous pop artist was Madonna's roommate and close friend in 82. He also was gone too soon because he died of AIDS in 90. RIP Basquiat and Haring.

      In 1979, the year before Rapture, there were at least a handful of songs with rap in the title that got released. Most notably Rapper's Delight by Sugar Hill Gang, but also stuff like Kurtis Blow - Christmas Rappin', Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five - Superrappin', Funky Four Plus One - Rappin' and Rocking the House and several others.
      Blondie is great and Rapture is a really cool song that helped bring rap into the mainstream charts, but they most definitely did not coin the term.
