Oh come on! Of course she's not going to exactly spit out bars like Eminem back then. Just the fact that she rapped was iconic in itself.

If you think about it, white people really had a hand in rap music. I always felt that Genius of Love by Tom Tom Club (which also came out in 1981 and was sampled by dozens of other hip-hop artists) and Pet Shop Boys "West End Girls" should also be classified as rap.

That kind of vocal delivery goes back a long way from ilbert & Sullivan to African music.
