Again with all due respect, that is not the first hip hop record, but it is arguably the first electro record, apart from Numbers then. The widely held view, as already pointed out by someone here, is that Sugarhill Gang's Rapper's Delight was the first hip hop record to be released.
Oops! Did I put my foot in it? I'm really really sorry, I apologize unreservedly. I was wrong. I mixed electro with hip hop. It happens to the best. But my intention was good. I did probably suffer of a lapse of memory. The one who makes no mistakes does none of the work. :-) The official birthday of hip hop is November 12th, 1974.

that's simply laughable. i'm sorry, but i don't like to waste my time any longer with people, who just lack the knowledge to discuss such topics in a reasonable way, brother!
Sorry, I did not mean to hurt you.
go and check the plain facts first, before you post anything here again.
I offer a complete and utter retraction. The imputation was totally without basis in fact, and was in no way fair comment, and was motivated purely by malice, and I deeply regret any distress that my comments may have caused you, or your family, and I hereby undertake not to repeat any such slander at any time in the future. BTW, did you know that the Zulu Nation -founded by the godfather of hip hop himself, Afrika Bambaataa- was originally called "The Organization." The official birthday of the Universal Zulu Nation is November 12th, 1973. Little Background Information: In the early years of the culture, the movement went untitled until Afrika Bambaataa, started calling it "hip hop", a term originated by Lovebug Starski.
