Rapper's Delight

"Rapper's Delight" is a 1979 (see 1979 in music) single by American hip hop trio The Sugarhill Gang; it is widely acknowledged as the first rap single. Like many songs from the time, "Rapper's Delight" sampled a disco hit, in this case Chic's "Good Times". The following year, an album was released with the song on it. In spite of a few more minor hits, The Sugarhill Gang quickly faded into obscurity.

To honor the song that many believe started it all, Errick Sermon, Redman, and Keith Murray mixed their own version in 1998.
