The Sugarhill Gang was the first hip-hop group to record a song and the first hip-hop group or artist to make it onto the Billboard charts. That's why their 1979 single "Rapper's Delight" remains one of the most influential hip-hop songs today. This week, we bring the full and candid conversation with group member Master Gee.

Huge thank you to Hip-Hop legend and pioneer Grandmaster Caz for coming on my show for an interview! Grandmaster Caz discussed his relationship with 2Pac, meeting KRS-One for the first time, and his first Hip-Hop event that he attended. He told the story of the first Hip-Hop party that he DJed, how the business aspect of the music industry ruined the art of Hip-Hop, and where the ball dropped for people not being knowledgeable about the Hip-Hop pioneers and legends that came before the 90's. We got into how his former manager Big Bank Hank, member of The Sugarhill Gang, stole his rhymes and used them for his part on Rapper's Delight and Grandmaster Caz addressing it for the first time on his song MC Delight. He talked about creating his own company GMC Entertainment, being the main tour guide for Hush Hip Hop Tours, and the young rappers who have been on some of his tours over the years. He also talked about being featured on DJ KaySlay's Rolling 110 Deep and that he may be releasing a new album of his own next year. Stay tuned!

When the DJ superstars like Kool Herc and Grandmaster Flash moved from the house parties to the dance clubs, it left a hole in hip-hop that only an act of God could fill. Like the Biblical flood, new MCs and DJs came onto the scene and struggled to keep their head above water in the hopes they too could become famous. But for three young MCs, the best way for them to make their name was to go mainstream and release the first rap record, Rapper’s Delight. On this episode of Bring the Noise, we look at the world-dominating success, as well as the trials and tribulations, of the first Top 40 rap group, Sugarhill Gang.

Welcome to Wrapper's Delight - A hip hop history podcast where we look at songs influential throughout time as important to the culture. Each episode MMD will look at 1 year starting from 1979 and discuss some of the argument's / candidates for the "best" song of that year (while eating a candy that best represents that song). Best is a term i'm borrowing from The Rap Yearbook by Shea Serrano. This week is 1979 where we discuss Rapper's Delight by Sugar Hill Gang - Paulett & Tanya Winley - Rhymin' and Rappin' and Spoonie Gee's - Spoonin' Rap while eating Gobstoppers candy. It's my opinion that both of the latter songs are better than Rapper's Delight because a) its not from the culture ( Sugar Hill Gang were 3 dudes that were put together to make a hip hop song) b) Big Bank Hank stole much of his work from Grandmaster Caz and c) it's 14:45 minutes long! Rhymin' and Rappin' is far greater example of 1979 rap history because it's a) 2 laddies b) shorter c) a far more chache value. Even Spoonin Rap has ATHF theme song rapper (and let's not forget Hip hop Veteren/Legend) Spoonie Gee and has sample cred as an often cited source material. Like Rapper's Delight this week's candy Gobstoppers overstays it's welcome and is this week's candy. There are 2 "required" texts 1) The Aforementioned Rap Year Book by Shea Serrano and 2) Chuck D presents this day in Rap/ Hip Hop history

The one where Jean and Marcus discuss ghostwriting in rap, from Big Bank Hank to Bigger Bank Drake.
"You ...ed the god, might as well throw a chair at me." - Raekwon If the Ferguson grand jury decision had come earlier in the month, I would have absolutely breathed fire through the entire selection - as it is, some of the third main segment ended up influenced by that travesty. I didn't even get into talking about Tamir Rice. Anyway, while a few tracks do communicate some of my thoughts on the whole affair, the selection as a whole has some brand new gems, some tracks to pay tribute to ODB and Big Bank Hank, and a little for anyone who enjoyed the electro era!

Still recovering from the weeklong Zulu Nation celebration, J-Crush returned to the fold and the fun ensued. The complete BBR crew, including Masta Talka, The C.O. and Angry Engineer were on hand to discuss all things relevant: magma in Hawaii, the Mid-term election sweep by the GOP, the passing of Rap pioneer Big Bank Hank and the growing controversy over Mrs. Kanye West’s impressively large, round, glistening derriere. Yep, only the most important stuff for our listeners. Oh there was Hip-Hop from Zulu’s too – A Tribe Called Quest; Naughty Nation, Ice-T and our very own J-Crush kept it real and joined with the likes of Divine Styler, Snoop Dogg, Nate Dogg, and The Sugar Hill Gang. Yo C-Span caller - we already knew the GOP hated Obama – you racist. Yeah, yeah we know, Rep. Tim Scott and Rep. Mia Love are just different somehow. We get it. I’m so glad racism is over. Can someone please tell me how to clean off these presidential tar babies? It’s Boom Bap Radio.
