Just the other day there was a guy on Come Dine With Me who insisted that Leo Sayer was the godfather of UK Rap, he then preceded to 'rap' the lyrics to some Sayer song. This reduced one of his fellow dinners to tears. Not tears of laughter, or tears of pain but real emotional type tears, because she was so moved by his rap rendition.
 
well fuck, that was unexpected. i'm on 4od right now, will report back if i find it.

didnt hear any sayer but got to see a bald fat fellow rapping will smith's 'wild wild west' at the dinner table.


he was wearing a P.L.O. scarf and a cowboy hat.
 
yeah from 1979, very basic stuff. bordering nursery rhyme territory with pseudo-funk backing. will post audio soon.
 
i know, i know. but it sounds like rap to me.

More national pride threads that mention Blankety Blank and Come Dine With Me please.





I saw that Leo Sayer episode, he was rapping in Thai as well if i remember correctly.
 
To add to the weirdness, I was at a dinner (no lie!) lastyear with a guy who occasionally does voiceover on "come dine..."





He admitted that it's pretty much all scripted & the "celebrities" are only given a little leeway with ad libs. Therefore any Sayer/Moe Dee/Will Smith moments are likely forced. Sorry.





Back on topic, I can't listen to the track above (phone posting-related) but otherwise it has to be TW Funkmasters no?
 
Come on. HMWYRS is not rap.





Barnsley Bill was 80s. 81? Let me google. 81.





The rule should be it was intentionally and obviously a rap rekkid. Like pr0n, it's hard to define accurately but you know it when you see it.





If GSH is the father of rap, the John Cooper Clarke could/should be the Brit equivalent.
 
No love for Richard Harris rapping over funky beats on The Prophet?


Mid 70s iirc.
 
J i m s t e r said:Come on. HMWYRS is not rap.

Not wanting to debate semantics here, but I'd say if that Lorraine Chase record counts, why should HMWYRS? Obviosly Ian Dury was likely to have been unaware of what was hapening in The Bronx parks in the late 70's, but based on the technicalities, Rhythm Stick isn't too far off the mark..
 
I am not cosining Lorraine Chase either. Just 'cos girl can't sing, doesn't mean she's a rapper.





In one of them moods today. Sorry.





#2 son just gone to A&E. Had him @ NHS direct last two nights, thought he was on the mend. Going to be a very long night I suspect.





I blacked out last week, hit me head, and was taken to hozzie on Tue. 7-10 days off he said. LOL. Try that without getting paid, son. I was back in on Thu. I am right as, now, pls believe.





D&V - There's a lot of it about, apparently.
