While Blondie may be best known for pioneering the New Wave movement of the late 1970’s, the band also holds an important place in the history of rap music. The 1981 hit, “Rapture,” was the first rap song to hit the top of the charts and was the first rap video ever broadcast on MTV. A “man from Mars” who’s “eatin’ cars” may seem like a meaningless rhyme, but Debbie Harry’s verses proved to be significant in the history of popular music.
