The Sugarhill Gang - Rapper's Delight
The year was 1979, and The Sugarhill Gang were ready to whip up a storm with Rapper's Delight. With this track, Wonder Mike, Big Bank Hank and Master Gee hipped 'hop the hippie the hippie to the hip hip hop, a you don't stop, rock it out baby bubbah to the boogie da bang bang the boogie to the boogie da beat' and Rapper's Delight shot up in the charts. It just so happens that that this track was the first hip-hop single to become a Top 40 hit!
