TEE came out during my college years, '75-'79, and being a d.j. for the fraternity, I was spinning disco and funk. "Rapper's delight" by the Sugar Hill Gang wasn't out until maybe '79. The only hip hop back during T.E.E. and Man Machine was by a bunny rabbit fleeting a cannabis field. But on further investigation, hip hop was already JUST invented in NY City. According to the All Music Guide, Music-industry producer and label-owner Sylvia Robinson had become aware of the massive hip-hop block parties occurring around the New York area during the late '70s, so she gathered three local rappers (Master Gee, Wonder Mike, and Big Bank Hank) to record a single "Rapper's Delight." But TEE was barely out before then, in 1977. amir "..::=|X|=::.." wrote:

Oh my God! So hip-hop was already invented when Kraftwerk made TEE? For f**k's sake!
it may surprise you, but hip hop was indeed "born" around the same time as kraftwerk released their t.e.e. album.
OK. This guy should learn geography, shouldn't he?
i suppose that you haven't heard of the miami bass sound and the booty style music he refers to then.
