The First Rappers? Not Even Close, Kids!
Native New Yorkers have long claimed that The Sugarhill Gang were not the first rappers, and now it's official: In July 2007, archaeologists from the University of London excavating a tomb in Egypt made an astonishing discovery - rap lyrics...

Huge Historical Significance; the Music is Good
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...

Not "Old School" But Rather "Before School Had a Name"
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...

Classic
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,...

Jump On This!!
Even without the classic Rappers Delight, I would have bought this this CD for Apache and 8th Wonder alone. Brings you back to a place and time when Hip-Hop was about the FUN instead of the GUN. To the misguided reviewer below "Super Pimp" - I...

Sugarhill Gang's biggest hits are collected on this single-disc compilation. In addition to "Rapper's Delight" -- the first rap single to reach the pop Top Ten -- the group's seven other R&B hits are included on the disc, plus three other singles...

Good to have
Even though the Sugarhill Gang were far from the best around back then (they were put together more for their potential mass appeal than for their actual rapping talent), you have to have a strong appreciation for the fact that it was them who...

dissin the Ol'school?
Of course the Album is great, it represents the beginning (even though I remember King Tim III preceeding it). Saying that Ol'School is crap because something that came out later is "better" or more sophisitcated is like saying the wright...
