Sugarhill Gang

OK, so they weren't the first rap band. But they were the first to sell records. "Rapper's delight" bassline is sampled from the Chic classic "Good times".

The original US 12" of "Rapper's delight" is available on both the classic Blue Label Sugarhill, and also the rare red label (first pressing).
