The Best Of SugarHill Gang: Rapper's Delight Poster
2006 compilation by one of the first Rap/Hip Hop bands in recorded history! Although the style existed before the Sugarhill Gang, their hit 'Rapper's Delight' blew the doors wide-open and became one of the most influential tracks of the then-burgeoning scene. This collection features that hit plus 10 others including 'Apache' and 'Eighth Wonder'. Sanctuary.It's not quite the first rap record, or the best, but Rapper's Delight--15 glorious minutes of the bass line from Chic's "Good Times," with a New Jersey crew spieling goofy routines about Superman and bad food on top--is one king hell of a party-starter. After that, they could have filled the rest of the disc with crowd noise and gotten away with it, but the Sugarhill Gang had a bunch of other party-jam hits, notably the almost-as-indelible "Apache" and "8th Wonder." Those songs show up here too, along with some entertaining non-hits and "Showdown," their rap-off with the Furious Five. What they're saying isn't really the point; the point is to move the crowd, and they're still hip-hop's greatest entertainers. --Douglas Wolk
