My pick last round factored in picking again 4 slots later; I could have easily taken "Rapper's Delight" at 1.8. My original pre-draft email to ML said that I wanted trendsetter first no matter what (I had "Smells Like Teen Spirit" originally.) This was still a tough pick for me. I had some thoughts in other categories since 1.8 and some other thoughts here. I will expand when it will no longer help anyone else.
On to "Rapper's Delight". It is the definitive rap song. There is no argument as to what started the genre, hell, it named the genre. I couldn't go with a better trendsetter. I don't know that this is quite the Tony Gonzalez pick that "Walk This Way" was, but I think it's like picking between LT, LJ and Alexander.
