Andre FullerGUEST
Joe Robinson.
King OdieHOST
The message is very close to reaching that point, because it's now on video games.

King OdieHOST
I love Rapper's Delight.
King OdieHOST

Jeff TiberiiHOST
This might be a throwaway, but I am curious enough to ask.
Jeff TiberiiHOST
Sugar Hill Records, absolutely no connection to the Sugar Hill Gang, which recorded Rapper's Delight in the late 1970s, correct?
Peter GartrellGUEST
There's a great story about that.
Peter GartrellGUEST
Okay.
BoogieHOST
I was like, oh, wow.
BoogieHOST
And it was coincidentally after we went to the karaoke the night before, and he decided to do Rapper's Delight, the beat pre.
BoogieHOST
And then he passes me the mic in the middle of it.
BoogieHOST
I'm like, oh, shoot.
BoogieHOST
I wasn't even prepared.
BoogieHOST
But hey, I know the song.
JBHOST
Everybody knows Rapper's Delight.
JBHOST
Yeah, that's insane.
AzuraHOST
Friday-ing, like literally.
AzuraHOST
And it's because apparently Lost Ketchup, they loved, love, love, love Rapper's Delight by Sugarhill Gang.
AzuraHOST
And so basically what they tried to do is their own version of that.
AzuraHOST
So they actually try to say a hippity hoppity, a hippity hop hop hop.

Also, the baseline for Sister Sledge is We Are Family because Bernard and Nile Rodgers ended up producing Sister Sledge.
speaker_0HOST
And because of his baseline on the song Good Times, the Sugar Hill Gang got the first rap hit to hit the Billboard Top 40 with Rapper's Delight.
speaker_0HOST
There you go.

Norman Wright was born in 1937.
Sideshow SidHOST
I mean, it is the backbeat of one of the all-time classic hip-hop tracks.
Sideshow SidHOST
Rapper's Delight by Sugarhill Gang.
Sideshow SidHOST
And then we heard Positive Force with what else? But we've got the funk.
Sideshow SidHOST
And we've definitely got the funk here at CJSW, 9.9 FM, 24-7, 52 weeks of the year.
Greg WilsonGUEST
I think that is a really good piece of work that we did that was from a few years ago.
Greg WilsonGUEST
We've recently done Rapper's Delight, Sugar Hill Gang, which was a real surprise because they just got in touch with my agent, my DJ agent, who normally remixes don't come through him.
Greg WilsonGUEST
They come more direct.
Greg WilsonGUEST
And he said, oh, BMG have been in touch, and they've got a US hip-hop track they want you to edit.
Greg WilsonGUEST
You know, I said, well, send it over, thinking it was something contemporary, you know.
Greg WilsonGUEST
And they sent over the stems for Rapper's Delight, and it's like, what? That's just come out.
Greg WilsonGUEST
I think we've done a great job with it.
Greg WilsonGUEST
I'm really, really happy with that, you know.

Happy ChichesterGUEST
Uh, he was spinning Chic.
Happy ChichesterGUEST
He was, you know, he taught me how to, how to mix, you know, so like he'd go from Good Times by Chic and flawlessly mix it into, uh, Rapper's Delight by, uh, The Sugarhill Gang.
SeanHOST
Nice.
Happy ChichesterGUEST
That's awesome.
ChrisHOST
Rap was still predominantly an American underground phenomenon.
ChrisHOST
Inspired by the light-hearted, humorous delivery of early hip-hop like the Sugarhill Gang's Rapper's Delight, George Michael decided to try his hand at rhyming over a high-energy post-disco funk beat.
ChrisHOST
What makes Wham Rap genuinely fascinating though is its lyricism.
ChrisHOST
As we know from the story of 1981 and into 1982, the UK was coming out of a period of economic turmoil and the song was written during this period.
