2006 compilation by one of the first Rap/Hip Hop bands in recorded history! Although the style existed before the Sugarhill Gang, their hit 'Rapper's Delight' blew the doors wide-open and became one of the most influential tracks of the then-burgeoning scene. This collection features that hit plus 10 others including 'Apache' and 'Eighth Wonder'. Sanctuary.

Part of the Collectables label's budget "priceless collection" series, this is a typical overview of the Sugarhill Gang, though it's not all that close to definitive. No-brainer inclusions like "Rapper's Delight" (a five-minute edit or the 15-minute original), "8th Wonder," and other charting singles like "Kick It Live from 9 to 5," "The Lover in You," and "The Word Is Out" are featured. Unlike some budget anthologies, this one just doesn't cut it since the track selection is questionable otherwise...

It's a cute, clever idea, but halfway through the album, it becomes tiring -- you no longer find the "boxing match" amusing, you just want to hear the music, especially since the music is so good. Of course, it's possible to...

Exact repro of this 1982 release, manufactured by Rhino. "While they didn't garner the critical praise of their label cohorts, Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five, the Sugarhill Gang still produced their share of memorable slices of early hip-hop. Helping to bring Sylvia Robinson's Sugar Hill Records into the limelight, the label's namesake group erred more on the funk side of the hip-hop equation, plying a steamy, all-night mix of go-go grooves, straight funk singing, and rapping. 8th Wonder features...
