We all know Rodney Dangerfield’s most famous catchphrase, but would the world of RAP MUSIC be where he finally earned the respect he deserved? In 1983, the beloved comedian released “Rappin’ Rodney,” a single that presented a series of his self-deprecating one-liners in a style of music that was still relatively new to the mainstream at that moment. Being on the cutting edge AND actually releasing a pretty catchy song helped Rodney crack the Hot 100, creating a novelty relic that we can EASILY respect on on this podcast while simultaneously giving us an excuse to shower praise on an artist who was ANYTHING BUT a one hit wonder.
