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. "music can be more diverse than some people's thoughts." ..::=|X|=::..
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:

With all due respect, this is not correct. FYI, the first hip-hop song of the history was Afika Bambaataa's "Don't Stop... Planet Rock", which it is constructed around the lead string melody from Kraftwerk's 1977 "TEE", and was released at Tommy Boy Records in 1982.

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. Erik
