The Sugar Hill Records Story [Box set]

Amazon.com
Easily the two most overused words in music criticism are essential and classic. That said, this five-CD box set is all that and a bag of chips to boot. Back in the late 1970s, the small Sugar Hill Records label changed the nature of the rap genre with the music, made with a live band, that they released--and the beats still sound on point today. This box set features tracks from Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, Sequence, the Sugarhill Gang, the Funky 4 + 1, and the Treacherous 3 (to name just a few) and classic tracks like "The Message," "Freedom," and "Rapper's Delight." In other words, classic, essential party music that still rocks the house. Everybody say ho! --Amy Linden

A HISTORY LESSON IN ITSELF.......2007-01-25

you know what i hate? i hate that these young folk today do not have any respect for da TRUE SCHOOL. i remember watching that MAKING THE BAND when DA BAND was on there (what a friggin' joke!!!!!) and diddy told them to do RAPPER'S DELIGHT and none of them knew it. i thought that all of them should've been sent home right there.

young or old, get this!!!! no, it does not tell the whole story, but it will up you on where a lot of these "new artists" are getting their ideas from. any young cats that are reading this, respect da TRUE SCHOOL!!!! i thank you.

The Real Deal.......2003-12-20

So many people have forgot about where Hip-Hop started and some of the greatest MC's such as Melly Mel. This album is most important piece of my Hip-Hop collection.

Average customer rating: Good dance music It's a rappers delight!!! Classic "Old School" that started the rap movement

Customer Reviews:

Good dance music.......1999-10-20

I like to dance on HipHopmusic, so that's why I like these CD'S so much. It's real old stuff of the '80 and the beginning of the '90.

It's a rappers delight!!!.......1999-09-22

This album goes way back to the beginning of rapmusic. Back to the days of broken glas everywhere and casanovo fly. You can't have better than this. The godfathers of rap are in the house.

Classic "Old School" that started the rap movement.......1999-03-17

This box-set is an example of the classic "old school" that started the rap movement back in the early 80s. With 5 CDs of music, there's a lot to sift through. Each disc contains at least three or four essential tunes that clearly define why this music was so groundbreaking (and still is today). You've got all 14 minutes of "Rapper's Delight", two versions of "The Message", and a host of other notably catchy numbers. Even though Sugar Hill didn't invent the rap genre, they were the first to make it popular among the masses. The set also includes a booklet that contains several articles detailing the Sugar Hill story. For anyone who's into "old school" in the strictest sense of the word, then this box set is a must!
