I'm not sure who the absolute first is, but I know Kurtis Blow was one of the first mainstream rappers to ever be signed.
just the fact that he would just go off on rants in the middle of his songs like in Caldonia. not a lot of artists doing that then.

and I don't consider him a rapper. even though I said that, I guess I mean he influenced people who BECAME the first rappers maybe.
