      I was 10 in 83 so didn’t get into it until 14 here in the UK. I agree I try to listen to new young artists. I respect the fact they heard it in the womb and it’s now cool to rap in a British accent over here. But when you’re nearly fifty you’re no longer interested in how tough a guy says he is or how he makes his money or treats females.

    An excellent video clip, but it is sad that Joey Robinson gave an interview calling himself Master Gee, and the rest of the Sugarhill Gang played off his lie. Even more pathetic is that they went into the story about how the group was formed and how they made their first record. Guy O'Brian was there and is the real Master Gee, and Joey probably made some of the music with the Sugarhill Band, but he was not on the original Sugarhill Gang recordings. Many things have not changed in the rap and music game, like deception, violence, conscious rap, gangster rap, and greedy labels, and this video is proof.

I have never seen this until now! Then we see how rap evolved and KRS-1, Salt & Pepa, and Queen Latifah expand and emphasize the direction and growth of consciousness and communication of the culture. Appreciate how the originators set the foundation for this beautiful culture called Hip Hop that is now global! 50 years and more!
