I remember my dad's reaction when he first heard it. "What kind of goddamn singing is that? That's not singing where I come from. "
ohhhh.....you said white rap. In that case, you may be right. But its not like there was ever much competition. I can't even listen to two seconds of that Eminem shit.

There is a very interesting documentary on Netflix about them 'I Want My Name back' and how Wonder Mike and Master Gee got ripped off... Very interesting story.
25 years after the historic recording of Rappers Delight, Master Gee & Wonder Mike come back to reclaim their identities and rightful place in hip-hop history. "I Want My Name Back will stand as a classic piece of musical history.", Toronto Film Scene "
If you know your old-school rap history, then you know that the legendary Sugarhill Gang introduced Hip Hop to the world with the Top 40 Hit "Rapper's Delight." But the story you haven't heard is the shocking truth about how greed and betrayal led to the band's fall into obscurity. From chart-topping superstars to broke outcasts, band members Master Gee and Wonder Mike were left with almost nothing...not even their names. In their own words, this is the true and tragic story of the former original members of The Sugarhill Gang.
BTW ALways LOVED Rapture by Blondie. Mark as much a I like you, I have t disagree
