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

Huge Historical Significance; the Music is Good.......2007-07-26

This is definitely a good CD. It's hits from the Sugarhill Gang, whom many musical historians have designated as the first rappers. Or maybe it's that "Rapper's Delight" has been thought of as the first rap song? Rapper's Delight kicks off this album, and it's very catchy, chock full of creative lyrics [unlike today's swear-filled rap records] that make for a funny song. The full version, which is here, is very long. The rest of the disc shows itself very much a product of the times in which the songs were written, the early 80s. That's fine, but it's just that a number of the raps don't really have the flow I usually associate with rap. So the record ultimately didn't impress me enough for 5 stars. Good stuff tho, definitely worth 4.

Hip Hop at it's best........2007-07-10

This is truly a get up and dance CD that everyone would love. You can't just sit down listening to this.

Great.......2007-01-03

Great Service, Quick Turnaround! I was very pleased. This was a very hard to get item.

Not "Old School" But Rather "Before School Had a Name".......2006-10-29

The Sugarhill Gang brought Rap to the mainstream and in many ways cut a path for others to follow and build upon. Listening to this album, their nostalgic appeal is obvious. It is upbeat with catchy hooks and fun lyrics. The beat will get your head bopping and toes tapping. This is timeless music about partying, having some good fun from "Back in the Day" where the worst thing you could be is a "Sucka MC."

Recommended songs: "Rapper's Delight," "Apache," "Kickin' It Live From 9 to 5."

What this is not: Do not expect the technical sophistication of today's recording artists with 48 track recording and computer assist. Do not expect to find some social message - the only message here is having fun at the club or party.

Personal Note: The Sugarhill Gang was my first exposure to Rap music more than 20 years ago. It is good to hear rap without someone "Bustin a cap," or demeaning women. As to its staying power, I played this for the college student hire in my office and it was a big hit with her.

Classic.......2005-09-09

I applaud the person who put Super Pimp in his place. For that prick to have the audacity to disrespect them shows great ignorance on his part in the culture of Hip Hop. The Sugarhill Gang, along with the hip hop Holy Trinity (DJ Kool Herc, Grandmaster Flash and Afrika Bambaataa) are the embodiment of Hip Hop.

Admittedly, I'm a fan of "Gangsta" rap as well, but I still respect, appreciate and enjoy the originators of this incredible genre... and if you think NELLY is gangsta there is something seriously wrong with you. I just hope Super Pimp realises that "Gangsta" music originated from "The Message" by Grandmaster Flash and The Furious Five (featuring Melle Mel).

Aaanywho, "Rapper's Delight" is a timeless classic and "Apache" is the hip hop ANTHEM, containing a lot of elemental old school Hip Hop, helping to unify the Hip Hop sound. This album is a must-have when one wishes to reminisce about the "Good Ol' Days", although be prepared for the depressing realisation that THAT kind of vibe will never be duplicated again.

Three classics +.......2006-02-06

This is a disc I picked up years back pretty much for just a few songs. Obviously "Rapper's Delight" is here, though it's chopped up on both ends. But the other must-haves are "The Message", and the breakdancing classic "Jam On It". I love that track. The rest is still good of course, just wasn't well known to me. No doubt there's better collections like this around (try "best of Sugarhill Records"), but for the price, go for it.

Good For the Price.......2000-02-12

It's pretty obvious by reading the title that the main song is Rapper's Delight, other good songs include: The Message, Jesse, and Showdown. However, half or Rapper's delight is cut out. Anyway, If you want a Rap CD w/o too much profanity (Wich is hard to come by these days) at a low price, this CD offers both variety and a good price.

After 20 years, they never stop entertaining us. . ........2001-11-02

Sugarhill Gang, the ultimate in the "roots of Rap and Hip-Hop" take us back to when it all begin with this exhilerating anthology of their songs. From the traditional "Rapper's Delight" to other classics such as "Apache", to collaborations featuring the groups of the day, such as the Sequence, this album combines it all. No other anthology can take us through the roots of such a relatively new genre in music. This album will entertain even the most hardcore rap enthusiast, for it is the core of their dogma.
