This podcast episode meticulously explores the intricate tapestry of influences that shape an artist's journey, particularly delving into the experiences of a prominent figure within the hip-hop landscape. The discussion pivots around the duality of growing up amidst iconic cultural figures, which the speaker describes as both a blessing and a challenge, necessitating a departure from familiar surroundings to truly establish one's artistic identity. We reflect on the speaker's formative encounters with legendary artists and the profound impact of familial connections, particularly in relation to the Sugar Hill Gang and the broader New Jersey music scene. Furthermore, we contemplate the evolving dynamics of women in battle rap, acknowledging the burgeoning recognition and platforms available to female artists, while also addressing the persistent disparities in treatment compared to their male counterparts. This episode serves as a compelling narrative of resilience, ambition, and the multifaceted nature of artistic development in an ever-changing industry.Takeaways: The influence of family in the music industry can significantly shape one's career trajectory. Growing up in a culturally rich environment exposes individuals to various artistic influences. Recognition in the music business often requires stepping outside one's comfort zone and familiar surroundings. It is essential for artists to maintain their individuality while navigating industry expectations. Women in the rap game face unique challenges but can achieve success through perseverance and innovation. Collaboration between different entertainment sectors, such as music and television, can create new opportunities for artists.

Qui aurait dit que les paroles de cette chanson, pardon ce rap, seraient encore chantées toutes générations confondues plus de 40 ans après. En effet, quand le 45 Tours sort chez les disquaires en 1982, dans les salles de cinéma, on projette un film qui s'appelle Blade Runner et qui nous raconte à quoi ressemblera le monde de 2019. Alors en 2025, six ans plus tard, vous pensez bien que plus personne n'aura gardé le souvenir ni de l'air ni de l'histoire de ce mec et de cette fille, en voyage au bout de la nuit. Et pourtant, vous le savez, il y a beau ne plus avoir de disquaires pour mettre la pochette du single de Chagrin d'amour dans leur vitrine, même les jeunes du Millenium la chantent encore. Il est facile aujourd'hui d'en donner les raisons. Chacun fait c'qu'il lui plaît, c'est d'abord le premier rap en français, un titre qui colle aux années 80 qu'on en finit plus de célébrer au XXI° siècle. Et puis il y a le thème universel de la vie solitaire dans les grandes villes, jouant sur le mythe de la décadence urbaine : l'alcool, le sexe, la solitude, le sordide, l'insomnie, les bars interlopes et les petits matins chargés de nicotine. L'auteur de la chanson se nomme Philippe Bourgoin. Dans les années 70, il était parti à New York vivre son rêve de devenir un réalisateur renommé. C'est là qu'il rencontre une Américaine francophile comme on en trouve beaucoup dans les milieux branchés à l'époque. Elle se nomme Valli Kligerman et l'admire, Philippe est un surdoué. Bien qu'il soit en train de terminer ses études, il a déjà signé le scénario d'un film dans lequel jouent Jean Yanne et Jodie Foster. Phil et Valli se plaisent, sortent ensemble et se marient, en cachette. Mais une fois son diplôme obtenu, il rentre en France laissant Valli à New York. Philippe est revenu au pays avec dans la tête une chanson qu'il a écrite plusieurs années auparavant avec son pote Gérard Presgurvic. Ils avaient en vain essayé de vendre à tout le monde cette histoire d'insomnie et de fille de bar, sans succès. Mais lorsqu'il entend la chanson Magnificent Seven des Clash, un rap qui commence par un réveil qui sonne à 7 heures du matin, Philippe se souvient du hip hop de Sugarhill Gang qu'il a découvert quand il était à New York. Il écrit alors Cinq heures du mat, j'ai des frissons et revoit tout le texte en le scandant comme un rappeur. Ce n'est plus du tout la même chanson. Gérard Presgurvic ne compte donc plus l'interpréter, Bourgoin contacte alors Gregory Ken, un gars qui a déjà pas mal bourlingué puisque de guitariste de groupe yéyé dans les sixties, il est devenu un chanteur emblématique des comédies musicales parisiennes dans les années 70. On l'a vu dans Hair, Jesus Christ superstar, Mayflower et Starmania où il interprète Ziggy, à sa création, avec France Gall. Sa femme Valli ayant décidé de le rejoindre à Paris, Bourgoin réécrit la chanson et lui donne le rôle de la fille de bar : le duo Chagrin d'Amour est né et convainc Eddie Barclay.Cette chanson pourtant étonnamment noire et désespérée est un tube énorme notamment grâce à la nouvelle radio jeune NRJ et d'autres radios libres qui diffusent le disque vingt fois par jour. Tout le monde en est dingue, qu'on se reconnaisse ou pas dans la déshérence de l'anti héros. Trois millions de 45 tours vendus plus tard, ce n'est plus un tube, c'est un hymne à notre sombre humanité qui refuse de le prendre avec gravité.

„Le Freak“ hat Hits geliefert. Unfassbar viele Hits. Die er entweder geschrieben, produziert oder performt hat – oder alles drei zusammen: „Good Times“, „We Are Family“, „Lost in Music“, „Everybody Dance“, „I Want Your Love“ mit seinen Bands Chic und Sister Sledge. „Upside Down“ von Diana Ross, „Let's Dance“ von David Bowie, „Like a Virgin“ von Madonna. Begonnen hat sein Ruhm mit Disco – Nile Rodgers ist ein Erfinder von Disco. Obwohl er selber zu bescheiden wäre, um das von sich zu behaupten. Und er sieht Disco auch nicht als geschlossene Ära, sondern als Teil eines Dance-Movements, das bis heute anhält. Kann man so sehen, es war nur eben der glamouröse, hedonistische Teil, dessen Bilder aus dem legendären Studio 54 immer noch allgegenwärtig sind und dessen Musik immer noch nachhallt. Auch in Samples von Will Smith, Modjo, Notorious B.I.G. und seiner Witwe Faith Evans, Alcazar und der Sugarhill Gang. Die verwendeten als eine der ersten „Good Times“ – heute ist es der meistgesamplete Song aller Zeiten. Kein Wunder, dass Daft Punk in den Zehnerjahren beschlossen, den Original-Disco-Vibe der späten 70er nochmal heraufzubeschwören – zusammen mit Nile Rodgers. In Episode #104NileRodgers versammeln wir uns mit Kollegin Laura Pöss unter der Discokugel und sprechen über ihre Begegnung mit dem Master himself. Der erzählt von seinen Hits, von alten und jüngsten Zusammenarbeiten und reflektiert die silberglänzende Disco-Ära.

Chris and Amy are joined by founding member of Run DMC Darryl McDaniels to discuss how he's performing with the Sugarhill Gang and St. Louis Symphony Orchestra at Stifel Theatre coming up on May 8th.

Salt-N-Pepa, Usher, Prince, Diana Ross, Teena Marie, Chaka Khan, An industry veteran who currently serves as one of the directors for the Hip Hop Museum, Green outlines his career spanning five decades. This includes producing concerts and/or representing as a longtime agent for artists such as Usher, Prince, Diana Ross, Teena Marie, Chaka Khan, the Backstreet Boys - among othersThen there's the fine line between the grind in the streets and the hustle in the industry.  Mark battled with con artists, drug dealers and pimps and people trying to show off their local high profile at the expense of his artists. “I didn't get too caught up in that because I had to keep one eye on the money!” He stayed focused, even when distractions of every kind showed up on the road–drugs, groupies, out-of-control artists–and he kept many ships afloat when everything should have drowned.  But again, the show must go on. Mark's stellar reputation put him in high demand and working with Melba and soon Freddie Jackson, Dru Hill, Al B Sure, Grandmaster Flash, a young Usher and music pioneer Prince solidified his reputation in the industry. He would join Associated Booking Corp, where his talent for spotting rising stars and his love for hip-hop led to the signing of such game-changing artists as Salt-N-Pepa, Roxanne Shante, Kid & Play, and DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince.  He would go on to become Director of Marketing at EMI/Capitol Records and expanded again, this time into radio, promotions, and into the fields of jazz and rap, earning accolades in promotions and even producing, writing, and publishing successful tracks like "Remember the First Time" for singer Eric Gable and "Midnight Hour" for rapper Lady Spice MC.  Green moved as the industry moved and found himself in independent marketing and promotions consulting and secured a record deal with Light Year/Warner Brothers for his independent label, with singer/songwriter and R&B legend Teena Marie as his first artist. A year later, working with  Northstar Distribution, Green became General Manager, distributing music for Prince's independent label, where the purple one signed R&B music siren Chaka Khan and the soul-stirrer and crooner Larry Graham  on the artist's NPG Records. Soon, shaping his own destiny, Green launched Celebrity Talent Agency, representing a wide array of artists, where he's secured talents for tours, festivals and commercials nationally and globally.  Ever-expanding his vision, Green also serves as Associate Director/General Manager of Lehman Performing Arts Center, Chairman of Artist Relations for The Hip-Hop Museum (THHM), and maintains ownership of Celebrity Talent Agency.  The Show Must Go On! His riveting story of the industry's ups and downs and his own personal experiences will inspire anybody who believes in themselves to believe that they can live their wildest dreams!© 2025 Building Abundant Success!!2025 All Rights ReservedHeart Media @ https://tinyurl.com/iHeartBASAmazon ~ https://tinyurl.com/AmzBASAudacy:  https://tinyurl.com/BASAud

Aquest episodi especial de Crema d'Estrelles està dedicat íntegrament a la secció "2 Graus de Separació", amb dues excepcions: un petit homenatge a Angie Stone, que es podria considerar la secció "Absències", i "Una de Frank Zappa", que avui encaixa perfectament amb la temàtica del programa. Explorarem la immensa influència de Good Times de Chic en la història de la música, teixint connexions entre estils i dècades a través de més de vint cançons. Des del rock fins als orígens del hip-hop, descobrirem com aquest clàssic té vinculacions curioses i ha deixat empremta en la trajectòria de molts artistes. Ens acompanyaran noms com Mickey & Sylvia, The Sequence, Queen, Blondie, Kool and The Gang, Jamiroquai, Grandmaster Flash, Kool Herc, Sugarhill Gang, Fatback Band, Perucho Conde, Shirley and Company, i molts més. També remarcarem la contribució de figures essencials com Angie Stone i destacarem el paper clau de dues dones sovint oblidades en els inicis del hip-hop: Cindy Campbell i Sylvia Robinson. A més, ens submergirem en el fenomen dels "mixes", escoltant el primer disc de mescles publicat de la història. I per tancar aquest viatge sonor, Frank Zappa ens oferirà la seva visió única i irreverent. Un episodi imprescindible per entendre com una sola cançó pot transformar la història de la música!

In the 1980s, Seattle's music scene was hooked on disco. The success of "Saturday Night Fever" meant venues opted for groovy vinyl over live band performances, and songs like Chic's "Good Times" were on constant rotation. That made room for a similar but modified version of the song's simple breakbeat by a group called The Sugarhill Gang, who quickly brought "rapping" to a nationwide audience. As Ben Camp tells the story, “Rapper’s Delight” – rap’s first hit – made an imprint in Seattle and kicked off a vibrant local scene connecting Sir-Mix-A-Lot to Macklemore. Camp, who writes under the name of Novocaine132, has been covering music in the city since the 1990s – and he recently published his first book, “The Birth of Seattle Rap.” Soundside producer Alec Cowan caught up with the writer to hear more about the book and Seattle’s pre-grunge music scene – starting with why it was disco that gave way to hip hop. Guests: Novocaine132, author of "The Birth of Seattle Rap." Related Links: The Birth of Seattle Rap: Novocaine 132 See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Rap music in the 1980s was a groundbreaking and rapidly evolving genre that laid the foundation for modern hip-hop. It started as an underground movement in New York and transformed into a cultural phenomenon by the end of the decade. Early artists like the Sugarhill Gang and Kurtis Blow laid the foundation for artists like Run DMC, the Beastie Boys and LL Cool J to begin to bring rap to a larger audience. By the end of the 80s, rap was becoming big business and was very profitable for record companies. Rap was not without controversy throughout the 80s though, many political and other groups were against the style, sound and lyrical content of rap. Just like heavy metal, it did not conform to certain musical norms that many Americans had come to know.

Today, there is a Spotify playlist for any genre, mood, or activity you could ever think of. But, in the not-so-distant past, you’d have to tune your AM or FM radio until you found a sound you liked. If you wanted to hear soul music in Seattle circa 1970, there was one local station that would never disappoint. It was called KYAC, and it was a true rarity at the time. The station was Black owned and operated from 1965 to 1981. The small station has an outsized legacy in both our city and the country at large. It was the first station in Seattle to play a rap song — the iconic “Rapper’s Delight” by The Sugarhill Gang. In fact, it was so beloved that when the station was eventually sold, listeners held a funeral for it. For Black History Month, producer Lauren Williams went back in time to 1970s Seattle to ask folks about what it was like to work at and listen to KYAC during its heyday. Guests: Vivian Phillips, founder of Arte Noir and former KYAC DJ Sheila Locke, event DJ and former KYAC DJ Jas Keimig, Seattle-based arts reporter.

She's Everyone's Favourite Granny and if you've been on line in the last few months—and who hasn't?—you probably saw her performance on The Voice UK. Earlier this year she became the show's oldest contestant ever when she did her rendition of The Sugarhill Gang's, Rapper's Delight in an effort to get coaches Sir Tom Jones, Will.i.am, LeAnn Rimes and Tom Fletcher and Danny Jones to turn their chairs. She became a sensation, and she joins me today top talk about being on the show, doing a duet to Black Eyed Peas, I Gotta Feeling, with the song's writer Will.i.am and her new Christmas single “Grandma's Christmas Escape.” Then, we'll take a deep dive into Christmas horror stories with author Joshua Millican. Over the past decade-plus, Millican has proven himself to be a horror expert of the highest caliber. He is one of the genre's premiere journalists, and today we'll talk about the best Christmas horror movies and his two new books, “All Through the House: The Novelization” and “Chopping Mall: The Novelization.” Finally, I'll share my conversation with one of the world's most successful music stars, Robbie Williams. He found fame as a member of the pop group Take That from 1990 to 1995, launching his mega successful solo career in 1996. By 2008, he had sold more albums in the UK than any other British solo artist in history and right now his record sales stand at over 77 million worldwide, making him one of the best-selling artists of all time, and now his wide ride to fame has been captured in a new movie called Better Man, which comes to select theatres on Christmas Day before opening wide on January 10.

There is no contemporary pop music without Nile Rodgers. Born in 1952, Rodgers grew up playing classical music on flute and clarinet before picking up jazz guitar. And at age 20, alongside bass player Bernard Edwards, Rodgers formed the band Chic. They wrote the biggest disco hits of the 70s, like: “Dance Dance Dance,” “Everybody Dance,” “Le Freak," and "Good TImes," which formed the core of Sugarhill Gang's “Rapper's Delight”. In his music career spanning six decades, Rodgers has produced and played on some of the biggest pop songs in history, for artists like Sister Sledge, Diana Ross, David Bowie, Madonna, Daft Punk, and Beyoncé. He is also the chair of the Songwriters Hall of Fame, so with the Songwriters Hall of Fame ceremony taking place this June, we invited him onto Switched on Pop to talk about the making of a great song.

THE VIBE with Kelly Cardenas presents SUGARHILL GANG - MASTER GEE O'Brien grew up in Teaneck, New Jersey, where at an early age he was exposed to a steady stream of doo wop and rhythm and blues, and established himself as an energetic emcee in the pioneering Phase 2 hip-hop crew.[1] During the early infancy of the commercial hip-hop movement in 1979, Master Gee, Big Bank Hank and Wonder Mike were discovered by producer Sylvia Robinson[2] and brought together to form The Sugarhill Gang.[3] O'Brien stepped away from Sugar Hill Records in 1984, and established himself as a successful entrepreneur in the magazine industry. During the group's departure from the label, Joey Robinson Jr., son of Sugar Hill producer Sylvia Robinson, used the stage name Master Gee. O'Brien and Wonder Mike went to court over the use of the group's name and stage names[4] as documented in the film, I Want My Name Back.[5] In 2014, name usage was amicably resolved, and Master Gee has since re-emerged as a mainstay in the hip hop community and music industry.

Like any other art form, rap music or hip-hop has a defined, ever-evolving legacy. There are names etched in the walls of the greats industry founders ranging from Curtis Blow to Grandmaster Flash, LL Cool J to Run DMC, the Beastie Boys, Will Smith, Doug E. Fresh, the Fat Boys and Queen Latifah. As the genre evolved, rap developed more of an edge, telling painful stories of street life from performers like N.W.A., Ice-T, Public Enemy, Tupac Shakur, and the Notorious B.I.G. Rappers Jay Z, Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg took rap to new heights of popularity, giving hip-hop a seat at the mainstream table. And others like Lauryn Hill,  50 Cent, Kendrick Lamar, Lil' Wayne, Eminem, Travis Scott, Nicki Minaj, Drake, DMX, J. Cole and others have kept rap going strong and made it a viable and highly profitable music style. But rap is incomplete without the group that coined the phrase “hip-hop” in their groundbreaking anthem “Rapper's Delight”—the Sugarhill Gang.  Indeed, any conversation about rap—which in 2023, celebrated 50 years as an art form—is incomplete without the Sugarhill Gang. Formed in 1979, it started outside an Englewood, New Jersey, pizza shop when singer and music executive Sylvia Robinson asked Henry “Big Bank Hank” Jackson—who would croon as he made pizza inside—to sing for she and her husband Joe in their car parked outside. Jackson was ultimately joined by Guy "Master Gee" O'Brien and the two of them went to the Robinson home along with Michael "Wonder Mike" Wright. The three young me thought they were auditioning against one another, but in the end, were assembled into a music act that would go on to become one of the first rap groups ever—the Sugarhill Gang—holding a legendary place in popular music history.  We sit down with the Sugarhill Gang including Master Gee, Wonder Mike, Hendogg and DJ T-Dynasty for the latest episode of the Load Out Music Podcast. 

Sugar Hill Gang or Band? This group's seminal single set the tone for our understanding of hip hop culture in the mainstream, but it sacrificed the culture's wholeness along the way… We're continuing our conversation pondering the performance of masculinity in music as an art form and in music as a business.Masculinity Scholar and Accountability Strategist Nalo Zidan joins the pod this week to talk masculinity and capitalism within hip hop and shares indispensable wisdom on what liberation may look like…Samantha offers a snapshot of the beginnings of commercial hip hop. How did we get from that DJ Kool Herc party that started it all to “Rapper's Delight”?We examine how the performance of masculinity thrives in commercial hip hop and why capitalism benefits from music upholding bravado over vulnerability.Thankfully, there are some artists disrupting the performance of masculinity, but why are they on the fringe of the mainstream?Listen to Nalo dive deep into how our classist system, capitalism, and the performance of masculinity helps hip hop moguls evade accountability. Acknowledging the impact of patriarchy connects us to the need for social justice.Nalo stresses how divesting from capitalism allows us to regain our imagination and think of a life beyond patriarchy…and how it's an individual choice we must consistently make. Listen to find out the most antipatriarchal, anticapitalist response you can have in the face of the status quo. Referenced on this episode:Mother of Rap: The Success & Controversy of Hip Hop's Sylvia Robinson, producer of the first commercially released hip hop track, “Rapper's Delight”Saba: ‘RAP CAN GET CLASSIST – I WANT TO BE THE OPPOSITE'Noname: Tiny Desk Concert featuring Ghetto SageThe Sound of Capitalism COMPANION PIECES:MASKulinity is Making Some People a Lot of MoneyNalo Zidan's TEDxLSU talk It's Time to Redefine MasculinityThe Roots of Jay-Z's ‘Black Capitalism'Black Capitalism Won't Save Us
