It was the first rap song AIRED ON VH1 and MTV.

It was not the first rap song- 1979's "Rapper's Delight" beats it by at least a year,

and other songs probably predate THAT.

This song is Blondie's "Rapture." (1980 for the album appearance, 1981 for the single.)

For the curious, Fab Five Freddy (who told me everything's fly)

appears in the video. He's the tagger who's spray-painting graffiti on a

wall- with an empty can (no paint is coming out.)
