A little about me and this channel:
My name is James Aubrey IV and I just recently graduated college from Iowa State University. After college I decided to take a leap of faith. So I moved to San Diego California to pursue my passion for videography/ RUclips. Overall I'm a pretty chill person, outside of RUclips I like to longboard, dance, play video games, lift weights and hangout with my friends. I know that success on RUclips won't happen overnight but I'm willing to stay patient and put in the work to try to prefect my craft daily. This RUclips channel will be centered around my life after college. You will be able to see all of the ups and downs on my journey to success. So if you like the content make sure you subscribe so you can be apart of the Rome Life Family. (Let's build our own personal Rome's together.)
What is the Rome Life ? And What does it mean to be apart of it?
Rome Life is something I started during my Sophomore year of high school (one of the worst times in my life) it started off as me documenting my journey to recovery from my shoulder surgery but eventually it turned into a platform that I could use to encourage myself as well as others to chase our dreams.
Rome Life isn't just a saying it's a way of life and for the people who want to be apart of it have to realize that. Rome wasn't built in a day it took a lot of handwork time and most importantly patience. So you can't expect your dreams to be any different

![J.P., NLE Choppa - Bad Bitty (Remix) [Official Music Video]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/rBDa6BCvw10/mqdefault.jpg)
I just sat back and waited patiently for when she started rapping to see your face! You did not disappoint !
I did too. I was like just wait.... lol
Watching now and waiting for it too
Lol , me too
I thought the same thing.
This I believe I remember hearing Casey kasem talk about this song on American top 40. This was the first song to hit the top 10 that had rap in it. This must have come out in 78 or 79 I think or maybe 80. I don't think rappers Delight by sugarhill Gang hit the top 10 originally it was Blondie with the first rap song in the top 10. Blows my mind! Love this song! This was one of my first 45 singles. Who knows what they are? And does anyone remember the little yellow plastic things you needed for the 45 singles? Lol!
The first song to go to #1 that incorporated rap. This record went #1 in 1981
Is this also where the term "hip-hop" was coined? "And you hip-hop, and you don't stop"
@@dagtheger8993 sorry buddy it was used a good bit before then try Keith "Cowboy" Wiggins. It is disputed but it definitely wasn't Debbie.
Hip-hop was already in use. The band were friendly with some New York DJ's & rappers. They absorbed the culture & wrote the song. Fab 5 Freddy was a friend of theirs & got a name check as did Grandmaster Flash.
He said first to go #1.
Yup! First #1 Rap was a white band fronted by a woman! 👱♀️
Couldn't hear this enough when it came out. ❤
Blondie's “Rapture” (1980) became the first single featuring a rap to reach number 1 in the USA, and the first rap video ever broadcast on MTV. She didn't invent it or claimed to. Love Blondie! 🤩 Give her a little credit 😆
She created a fusion of the underground sounds of late 70s early 80s. She managed to pull it together in a way that made it mainstream. I grew up with Blondie and she remains an icon in my life to this day.
The official music video is worth watching.
🤣🤣🤣
Yes I agree
Absolutely!
Only to see Debbie Harry in her glory, but this audio version sounds better.
@@clevellbarney8917 I think there's a famous street artist in the video, too.
Wikipedia: "In January 1981, "Rapture" was released as the second and final single from the album. The song became their fourth and last single to reach number one on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart, where it stayed for two weeks. It was the first number-one song in the U.S. to feature rap vocals." You, sir, could spend weeks on the 1980's. Deborah Harry was simply fantastic, and may still be performing. In the '80's I was in my 30's, and a great time to be young . . . pre-aids.
If I have possibly offended you by my comment I do apologize. However, I do not believe that "Blondie" was making reference to The Lord Jesus Christ by the use of the word "rapture" in the lyrics of the song. I admit I have never had that association in hearing the song, and have listened to it numerous, numerous times since the '80's, but with your comment I will now have to examine the lyrics more closely to see if I have erred. Thank you
Got to agree although I was born in 1960 My musical era was from 1973 to the early 90's I regard myself as very fortunate to have lived through Slade, Trex, Sweet, Wizard Bowie, Elton John, Roxy Music, Deep Purple Led Zeppelin, Fleetwood Mac Blue Oyster Cult to Punk especially the Stranglers to the Smiths, The Cure, The last band to interest me in any way was Biffy Clyro and Razerlight. Now I don't know what's happened to music.
even better would have been the 70s in your 20s
She was touring in 2019. We saw them along with Garbage. The venue, right outside Portland Oregon, only held maybe 1000 people so every seat was great.
@@KitKat-wt6ed I was 18 in 1971, and being in your twenties in the seventies was GREAT!!!!!
The first time hip-hop artists appeared on national television, was made possible by Debbie Harry. She was the host and musical guest on Saturday Night Live. 2/14/1981. She ceded some of her screen time to the group, Funky 4 + 1. Introducing them as “her friends from The Bronx,” and “among the best street rappers in the country.”
It helped propel the hip-hop genre, which originated in New York, from local block parties and clubs to a much wider audience. As a huge proponent of hip hop. That wasn't the only time time Harry helped hip hop's exposure to the world. In 1977, she went to The Bronx to see the DJ Grandmaster Flash do a set. After meeting him, she reportedly told him, “I’m going to write a rap about you on my next record.” She kept her promise with her 1981 “Rapture” single.
The late 70s - 80s seemed like the best time to be in NY. I wish I could have lived there then.
Ah no. The Sugarhill Gang performed Rapper's Delight on Soul Train in 1979 and Kurtis Blow performed The Breaks in 1980.

And this time don't delete my response like you did the other two.
@@ldybozz it was the first #1 in the USA for a song with Rap in it though?
Right or wrong, you have a nice avatar.
The accompanying music video for "Rapture" made its US television debut on Solid Gold on January 31, 1981, and not only became the first rap video ever broadcast on MTV, but was part of its first 90-video rotation.
“Oh she raps too” Debbie Harry has skills!! 😂😂😂🤣🤣
When it first hit playlists, this song got played at least once by a local country music station. Talk about some minds being blown...
Hi @@HobDobson a Country Music Station??? What was the fall out from that??
The format back then was more Classic Country was it not?
The Contemporary and Pop Country sounds and artists did not exist did they?
I bet minds were BLOWN and stations probably received a ton of calls and complaints. Fill us in.
I don't know about complaints, but one of my classmates was still talking about some strange song that WQYK (country format since the early 70s) played about men from Mars eating cars the next day.
@@HobDobson 😂😂😂😆😆😆 thanks for sharing! Great start to a Monday!!!
Debbie was a genuine talent. She was cool, could sing, act, write music, influence beauty and fashion and was drop dead gorgeous!
Actually it was done in 1981.She is,to my knowledge,the first white woman to do it.As a matter of fact,this song was the first rap I ever heard.
Me too. This song was one of the most popular songs at the skating rink when I was nine.
Released in 1981. Remastered in 2001.
Me, too. Wasn't even called rap
She was the first female to rap on a album this song and the sugar hill gang got rap out across the country the good ole days smh
My wife was a singer in the glee club (Radcliffe Pitches) at Harvard when the Sugarhill Gang released "Rapper's Delight." She heard it in early 1980 and was immediately inspired to write a song called "The Harvard Rap." She convinced her group to let her perform it while the group provided backup. Since they didn't know what rap was, she had to explain it as "one of those fast-talking songs like the Sugarhill Gang does." Someone taped the first performance of the song at a show in the spring of 1980, so as far as we know, my wife is the first white chick to record an original rap song.
During her rap, there are so many references to ground-breaking artists that helped form the foundation of hip-hop. You should watch the video and see if you can identify who and what they are.
The only rappers out at the time were Grandmaster Flash and the Sugar Hill Gang.So there wasn't too many references.I was actually alive then
Fab Five Freddie was actually a gallery owner and he introduced Debby Harry to Flash because she heard one of Flash's sets at the punk clubs he and Bambaataa used to play at
@@paulwagner688 Yes. Do you know who/what the Indian represents?
@@MichaelHenryMusic - Not sure, but at the time, Sugar Hill Gang had a song called "Apache" (lyrics reference "Jump on it, Kemosabe"), so chance it may be a reference to that.
@@davidjimenezjr.7755 Exactly! Very nice.
i've been listening to blondie for a long time, and this song since 1981
This song dropped in 1981 I think. The group is called Blondie and the lead singer is Debbie Harry.
You’ve got to remember this is 40 years old. Some of us didn’t really know what to think of the rap sections because we’d never heard that before. I think it might have been a first, or at least pretty early.
First. I remember.
My first was Rappers Delight 1979
The first Rap I'd ever heard was Tone Loc and Ice T... lol
Always luved this song right from the beginning
My first was also Rapper's Delight 1979
Hi! This song actually came out the year I graduated high school in 1981, and Blondie had us all rapping about the man from Mars eating cars, lol! Fun fact, Blondie was the first person, male or female, to ever rap on MTV! 💃🎵 I should add her name, Debbie Harry! Blondie is the name of their band.
In one song they beautifully blended rap,funk,glam,disco, and punk. BRAVO
“Call Me” is another cool song from Blondie
and "Heart Of Glass"
Tide is high
One way or another
Atomic
Call me
Heart of glass
Call Me absolutely rocks
It came out in 1980!! I used to roller skate to this song, I was about 10 years old 😅
I was 8...good times
4 lol
It was actually 1981 but close enough
@@stephanietip Depending on where you where, I first heard this song in 1980, around September, or October, of that year.
1980 is correct, all of you that says 1981 mix it up with the single and video that came in january 1981. The album "Autoamerican" was released in nov 1980. End of discussion.....
When this came out in 1981, it wasn’t really a song I would normally listen to, but it became my favorite song. My friend and I would cruise up and down the Main Street of our town blasting this song. Great memories!
i love this
The 2001 date that you mentioned, Was a release The song was the 1st song with rap in it that was ever played on the radio. And on MTV both happened in 1981
One way or another, heart of glass, The tide is high, and Maria are all good ones by Blondie also. Debbie Harry had some skills back in the day! The late 70s and early 80s was the time of Blondie. 👍😊
I absolutely hate the tide is high, and literally have my entire Life. My mother said everytime it came on the radio she would get violently ill while pregnant with me. And it is only the Blondie version, as I have heard other versions that I do not get triggered by, and I love Blondie just have a visceral dislike of The Tide Is High.
@@Jadguy24 Wow that's unreal. I wonder what happened?
Eat To the Beat! Awesome album!
@@davidarnold9324 My first album I ever bought
@@Johonnac It was one of my first. It was one of those rare albums that you could just play through without wanting to skip any song.
This song came out in 1981. Heart of glass, call me, atomic, and dreaming. All great blondie songs. I think this is the only song she raps in though.
I forgot to put Dreaming on my list of recommendations. Good song.
Every time I hear her sing the word “rapture”, I just melt and my nerve endings tingle. That lady is drop dead gorgeous! ❤️
Blondie is not “her”, it’s the name of the band. Her name is Debby Harry. Loved your reaction to this.
It's Debbie but I know what you mean 👍 a lot of people don't know it's the name of the band not just Debbie herself x
Well, technically it's not her name. When she was working as a Playboy Bunny, people used to call her 'Blondie'. That's where the name came from.
"One way or Another" is my favorite Blondie song, followed by "Heart of Glass"
Union City Blue is their finest, but they have an impeccable back catalogue. brilliant band! 💯
The "Rapture" video is a sort of landmark video of the early 1980s...
Rapture transports me every time. Pure funky magic. A masterpiece.
1981! I was 11 years old and I cannot emphasize enough how blessed I am to grow up with this music!! ♥️♥️
Rapture getting a lot of play in the last couple days. More Blondie!
This is the song that brought Rap/Hip hop from the underground to the mainstream radio play, basically the beginning of the explosion of it to today's standard
This was released in October of 1981, not in 2001. Also, it's confusing, but the band is Blondie and the lead singer is the legendary Debbie Harry.
I thought it was January 81 as a single but the album was released in the fall of 80.
Kind of like how people think Darius Rucker is "Hootie".
@@moonlily1 Or that Jethro Tull is the name of the leader of the band.
@@blackrock1961
That’s my favorite!!
You’re correct, “Rapture” was originally released in 1981. This was the remastered version. That’s why it said 2001.
The 80s was an amazing era, a soundtrack like no other.
so that every one knows " Rapture " is a song by American rock band Blondie from their fifth studio album Autoamerican (1980). The song was released as the second and final single from Autoamerican on January 12, 198. Blondie’s #1 Hit “Rapture” Became the First Rap Song to Ever Top the Charts
when rap was so new u could rhyme cars with bars and be original.
@MARGERY Bloom Millennial.... 😊
😆🤣
Debbie heard hip hop in NYC and called it out in this album. Oddly making the first #1 rap hit a Blondie song. But her love of the genre brought national attention to a local style. Girls rock!
Rapture was not the first no.1 rap song because it's not a rap song. MTV put that lie our there in the late 80's. The first rap song to go no.1 was Vanilla Ice's Ice Ice Baby in 1990.
Like he says in the video, it has a bit of everything in it.
I've read posts from all age groups on here talking and arguing about what it is and what it isn't. Does no one but me know why she named Fab Five Freddy and Francois in the song? Because they were who taught her to Rap.
2001 was when it was uploaded. Song came out 1981 I have it on a compilation album of greatest hits of 1982.
Tide Is High,
One Way Or Another,
Call Me.
All amazing songs. Debbie Harry kills every style.
She has never been fully credited for the talent she is. New generation of artists shoukd realize she is truly ahead of her time!!!:)
1980. Blondie is the band name. Singer is Debbie Harry.
All of her songs are different. She was truly ..Talented.
Blondie is the band not just Debbie Harry. Most of the songs were written by the band.
@@claytoncourtney1309 - all had a part, but she was lead lyricist and came up with the majority of concepts. Chris Stein created a majority of melodies and involved the rest of the band in the process of bringing the tunes to maturity. Harry and Stein were the main songwriting engine.
@@jamesredman1263 I was just pointing out to 16FEET that Blondie was the band, 16FEET's comment could be looked at as implying that "Blondie" was Debbie's nickname and the musicians were just players.
As to your statement that she was the "lead lyricist" if you look at the writing credits on the Blondie LPs she usually had credits on 5 or 6. for example of the 12 songs on "Parallel Lines", one was a cover and of the other 11 she was involved in 6.
I heard a song from her that I never heard before but it is an old one.
It's called "The hardest Part"
In the music video she has on a black wig and singing it sounds cool just like her.
First song to ever include rap and hit #1 in the USA! Debbie Harry is a woman of so many musical ranges with her voice. She is and always will be a timeless classic and truly the Queen of rock and roll! Long live Debbie Harry!!
1981, my friend! They are still cutting albums & touring! Debbie Harry is in her 70's! Still one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen! Great Reaction!
They were huge in the late 70's and early 80's! She was very easy on the eyes! 😁
1981. It came out in 1981. She called out Fab 5 Freddy. This song came out when I was 9 years old my guy.
CLASS OF '90, REPRESENT. My man.
You are an incredible reviewer and very knowledgeable about music. It’s great to see a young person get why the great bands of the 1970s (Fleetwood Mac, Abba, Linda Ronstadt etc) made such good music. Blondie’s “Rapture” was the 1st #1 Rap song ever, and she crossed Rap over into the mainstream. The song had Jazz, Disco, Rap, and Rock components, and Blondie blended them seamlessly.
First rap song ever to top the charts. The song came out in 1981. One of the first videos on MTV.
1981 #1 on the charts
This song was released in 1981 and has the honor of being the first Rap song played on VH1. Pretty cool!
Rapture is not a rap song
@@charlesjonessr3684 it is mostly rap and it is credited as being the first one on VH1. Not my opinion. Historical fact. Great song, either way.
@@j.jennings1722 Credited by MTV and MTV only. And for the record RUN DMC's Rock Box was the first rap/hip hop video played on MTV

@@charlesjonessr3684 As you say RUN DMC's Rock Box was the first rap video played on MTV of a Rap-group, but Blondie was not a Rap-group but they where the first video on MTV containing rap. Its not only credited by MTV, its credited of the whole world wide music community to be the first rap-song reaching no 1. It was the no. 49th first played video on MTV in 1981 after they started in august and RUN DMC's Rock Box was released in 1984. I have seen your comment about Rapture several places on RUclips. If you dont like it, just stop watch it.....Rapture is the first rap-song that reached no 1 and its true, even you like it or not.
@@Ihatetocreateuserid Containing a rap verse in a song doesn't make it a rap song no matter who it is. If that were the case Fantastic Voyage by Lakeside and Square Biz by the late Teena Marie should be considered rap songs but theyre not. Jody Watley's song Friends featured the rapper Rakim and it's not labeled a rap song.
Now Rock Box by RUN DMC is the first rap video to air on MTV whether you like it or not.

This is my favourite Blondie song.
Hanging on the Telephone, Rapture, Atomic, Call Me.... so many fantastic songs. You MUST see the video that goes with this.
If you get a chance, check out the official video to this song, you'll enjoy it.
Some other songs: Dreaming, Call Me, Heart of Glass, The Tide is High
Enjoy it?
I’d rather stab my eyes with toothpicks
Atomic Blonde
One way or another
Blondie was known for their eclectic style...disco, pop, reggae and early rap. Heart of Glass, Call Me, The Tide is High and One Way or Another are some you need to check out.
Blondie is one of the most popular bands of all time! Huge in Europe and North America! They had four number one singles on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart in America! Blondie could do it ALL!! Punk, New Wave, Disco, Rap, Reggae, Pop, Rock and put their own spin on it, so it sounded uniquely like them!
She's a blockbuster and way back 1981 she blew the lid off the industry 🖒 .. cA
Like everyone else, I was was waiting for the rap to begin....priceless. This is an 80s song.
"Dreaming" is a solid one too
It was released in 1981, this was a remix version. We had great music back then…
This song was released by Chrysalis on January 12 1981!!
Remastered in 2001
I suggest “Atomic” and “Dreaming” the videos. ☮️💟
I love "Atomic" - the bass line is wicked amazing!
Try “One way or another“ from Blondie next!
Blondie dose every kind of music... Punk, Rap, rock, pop, disco, reggae, and country. a band to check out..
This came out in 1980 from the album AUTOAMERICAN and the big hit song from that ''The Tide Is High".... One Way or another Heart Of Glass
"Heart of Glass" is awesome by Blondie! And "Atomic", "Dreaming" and "One Way or Another"!
Call me
Tide is high
It's not titled RAPture for nothing! What I've always really liked is how the chimes double the melody in the first half of the song.
Roller skating music! I worked at a rink when this was popular.
I was 11 yrs old when this came out in 1981 and me and my mom used to rap this in the car! LOL My mom loved this song.
It came out in 1981! Rapture was I believe the first ever music video with rap on mtv. You could call her the first white rapper and then the Beastie Boys. Heart of Glass , The Tide is High and Call me are more great songs from her!
Zappa was the first RAPPER
period
Zappa was the first rapper- period. !!!
Check out the video for
“Trouble Every Day” about the Watts Riots!!
Grandmaster Flash and the Sugar Hill Gang were the only African American rappers out at that time.Rap really didn't pick up steam until the early 1990's when labels forced MTV to play them.Mtv wanted to stay a rock and roll format,but the labels threatened to pull their big name rock band's videos.Rap is easy and inexpensive to make,and with a big turnover..they didn't have to deal with eccentric pain in the butt rock stars.They could get a new rapper every hour of every day because it doesn't take much thought or talent.True story
@@pastorofmuppets22 Not true. They were playing rap videos during the early 80's.
“What was that ? “
Yup, that’s what we Blondie fans were saying back in 1981 when this was first released. This was back when rap still wasn’t played on commercial radio, and was mostly circulated around record shops and between friends. This was the first rap video played on MTV.
I have to admit, I didn’t care for it at the time. It took me a long time to even acknowledge rap as a music form. Spoken word art, no problem. But music, nope. I’ve evolved. And now everyone is calling it Hip-Hop. Slow down, I’m an old fart. I can’t keep up. 😆
Yes, I was a Blondie fan back then and it was a shock for we former punk/new wave boys to be hit by the delicious Debbie rapping out the words like a vocal machine gunner. Rap may have been circulating in its own circuit here in the UK but certainly hadn't reached close enough to mainstream to get to me!
This song was definitely ahead of its time. That was released and maybe 1981. It was the first rap hit on the radio to make number one.
This song was then and still now...PURE GENIUS. This song was released January 12, 1981. 40 years ago. yes 40.
I was a young teen when this song came out in the early 80's. I don't hear it often, but when I do, it reminds me of being at the roller rink and trying to pick up girls. Man, I am old! I still like the song though.
Your not old I was 29 years old when this came out and will be 69 this year in Oct. 2021
Call me is really good, heart of glass, and tide is high too. A lesser hit "Sunday Girl" is one of my favorites.
Atomic
One way or another
The very first song with rap to ever hit #1 in the USA, and this was back in 1981! :) Now you have to react to "The Tide Is High." They were back-to-back #1 hits for Blondie, and well deserved!
I got to see them play about 4 years ago. Still great!! Debbie is in her mid-70's now. Hard to believe.
1 of the 1st rap and rock Amalgamation. Later came the coalition of run dmc and Aerosmith
Mate there is an Extended of this of 10 minutes. With unprecedented lyrics. Called Disco Mix. 1981. THE first ever Rap recorded by a woman
Lol,Blondie blew your mind! Love it! Her music is the bomb!
1981...
When it came out we freaked out...
First rap...
Funky...
I haven’t even watched your reaction yet but had hit “Like” because...well...it’s Blondie!
Not 2001! Came out in 1981!! You’re reacting to the remastered version which was probably 2001.
Blondie is a beast! They have many hits but none quite like this one! I love it! This song was released in 1981! Debbie Harry, the lead singer is an iconic vocalist as well as a pretty good actress!!❤️❤️
First women to Rap on a track! Shout out some pioneers! Absolutely love blondie
blondie's pretty diverse musically, so no, all of their music does not sound like rapture... heart of glass, one way or another & union city blue are just of few of their other great songs, thx for the video, rome!
You picked a great song to start with. Hanging on the Telephone off the Parallel Lines album is another great one.
This song really was pretty revolutionary especially for mainstream and to hit #1.. Blondie 1981 top of their game.
"Rapture" incorporates pop, punk, new wave, hip hop, jazz, funk and dance music all in one song. It was a huge hit in 1981 reaching #1 in the charts. This song was the first exposure of rap to a wide audience of listeners. Blondie is the name of the group and Debbie Harry is their vocalist. Blondie's songs are all different and cover a wide spectrum of styles.
Deborah Harry in a supermarket we were both getting a salad at the salad bar she was in Red Bank New Jersey visiting her father in the hospital and we chatted about vegetables
well THATS super cool!!!
Wow, I got goosebumps reacting to your reaction, specifically during the RAP when she says very deliberately RAP-TURE.
That twin sax duet for the bridge is quite a jam as well.
Rapture, be pure
Take a tour through the sewer
Don't strain your brain, paint a train
You'll be singin' in the rain
Said don't stop to punk rock
40 years ago and 1st #1 (in the us) hit rap song.
This Blondie album was released in late 1980. Yes Blondie's music has a LOT of stylistic variety, and Blondie performs it all with class.!!
"Tide is High" and "Heart of Glass" (no rap)
“Atomic” and “Dreaming” are great tunes
Blondie released this song in 1981 and it was the first #1 song to feature rapping. She was way ahead of her time!
Find the video. Wont disappoint. She looked good. Late 70s early 80s. What a time for music.

Reckon they would be new wave but they punky, funky, disco, rock. Album parallell lines is on most top 100 album of all time list. Pick a track n play man

This song is 40 years old. Older than you my friend. Welcome to how we parties in the 80's.
I'm one of your older subscribers. I love the fact that you're listening to some of the music that I bought whenever I was a teenager. I love Blondie still have all the vinyls.
