Description

This is the music video for what has since been touted as the first rap single ever released in Canada. First aired on Ottawa community radio station CKCU-FM in November 1982, "The Bum Rap" was inspired by American rappers Grand Master Flash and the Furious Five and the Canadian government's wage controls that were launched with the release of a lame promotional single called "The Six & Five Song" that was composed and performed by a government finance minister.
