It was played in the disco's back when I was still young and went out clubbing every weekend. I'm 66 years old this month & this song is still on my dance playlist. When the family gets together, the girls of all ages kick everybody out of the kitchen so we can have a kitchen dance party with a bottle of wine and our favorite music.b.

Ron Sandgren I’m not familiar with that song but the term Hip Hop as we all know today came from Keith Cowboy of Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five. Maybe he knew the record you mentioned but his definition started as a joke to one of his friends that caught on so maybe that record said it but since Rappers Delight was the first official ‘rap’ record released, they said it first in this context. Because they overstepped all the originators of the genre that already had hip hop established on the street level first and put out a record before anyone else could.

I heard this song hundreds of time. Even at my summer camp we sang this song every night at camp fire. After 40 years I still remember all the words to this song

Yes, old school rap! They bringing the beat too 🔥

You've heard samples from this song a thousand times, back before there were sampling laws. In fact, the bass line was stolen from yet an earlier song. Blondie sampled it, as did so many more. www.songfacts.com/facts/the-sugarhill-gang/rappers-delight

The first rap song ever on mainstream...I'll never forget where I was when I heard it....I fell in love with Hip Hop!!!! The 70's

I was in the 11th grade when this song came out, so I was around when it first started. As a High School Junior back in the late 70s, we would play this song over and over. We loved the beat back then as well as the story being told.

If you like the music then check out the song that this is built on “Good Times” by Chic

Can you make up “Queen” x “Another One Bites The Dust”⁉️ 😚
