Sugar Hill Gang outta Englewood NJ did the first "clubby" type hip hop track with rappers delight, years after "hip hop" had already come into the world. And even Rappers Delight wasn't a "club track" it was a track making light of situations anyoen from the hood could relate to, lol like bad food and the shits

EXACTLY!!!!!!
i bet alot of people also dont realise how much of an influence the punk era had on hip hop at the time it was around.
if you look back at the history of hip hop, look how alot of them dressed and you will see how similar it was to the punk dress of that day.
the entire hip hop culture got its influences from several genres of music rangeing from soul, jazz, blues, as mentioned also disco aswell.
music in general has and allways will be a form of expression, even rave music, the people who make it make it to fit the mood they are in at that time.
and people say im dumb and cant have a sensible debate and hear i am schooling some of these americans on a culture started in their country haha.
big up to apexx for being one of the few heads with actual knowledge.
im guessing you remember the days of black sheep???? they dropped some classic ish.
