Well, the shit had to start SOMEWHERE...why not? THIS PARTICULAR RECORD may as well have. (And don't come at me with that "Thomas Edison recorded the first rap back in 1877 with 'Mary Had A Little Lamb'" nonsense; I'm talking about rap AS WE NOW KNOW IT.)
The industry drives the culture?
Now, THAT, I don't believe for a minute. Well you just said The shit had to start somewhere/why not. So the industry does define the culture back when there were less than a handful of records existing? Those community center/park jams were not MC centered. So if "RAP" as u know it starts w/ Rapper's Delight,that's not my mind garden starting point.
