Description:
The Sugarhill Gang records the 15-minute-long pioneering hip-hop classic “Rapper’s Delight.” The first stanza of the song becomes a famous ditty that inhabits the minds of those who hear it:"I said a hip, hop, a hippie to the hippie
To the hip hip hop, you don't stop
The rockin' to the bang bang boogie say up jumps the boogie
To the rhythm of the boogity beat"
