Lyrics:
I said a hip hop
Hippie to the hippie
The hip, hip a hop, and you don't stop, a rock it out
Bubba to the bang bang boogie, boobie to the boogie
To the rhythm of the boogie the beat
Now, what you hear is not a test I'm rappin' to the beat
And me, the groove, and my friends are gonna try to move your feet
See, I am Wonder Mike, and I'd like to say hello
To the black, to the white, the red and the brown
The purple and yellow, but first, I gotta
Bang bang, the boogie to the boogie
Say up jump the boogie to the bang bang boogie
Let's rock, you don't stop
Rock the rhythm that'll make your body rock
Well so far you've heard my voice but I brought two friends along
And the next on the mic is my man Hank
C'mon, Hank, sing that song, check it out
Well, I'm Imp the Dimp, the ladies' pimp
The women fight for my delight
But I'm the grandmaster with the three MCs
That shock the house for the young ladies
And when you come inside, into the front
You do the Freak, Spank, and do the Bump
And when the sucker MC's try to prove a point
We're Treacherous Trio, we're the serious joint
A from sun to sun and from day to day
I sit down and write a brand new rhyme
Because they say that miracles never cease
I've created a devastating masterpiece
I'm gonna rock the mic 'til you can't resist
Everybody, I say it goes like this
Well, I was coming home late one dark afternoon
A reporter stopped me for an interview
She said she's heard stories and she's heard fables
That I'm vicious on the mic and the turntable
This young reporter I did adore
So I rocked some vicious rhymes like I never did before
She said, "damn, fly guy, I'm in love with you
The Casanova legend must have been true"
I said, "by the way, baby, what's your name?"
Said, "I go by name of Lois Lane"
"And you could be my boyfriend, you surely can
Just let me quit my boyfriend called Superman"
I said, "he's a fairy, I do suppose
Flyin' through the air in pantyhose
He may be very sexy, or even cute
But he looks like a sucker in a blue and red suit"
I said, "you need a man who's got finesse
And his whole name across his chest
He may be able to fly all through the night
But can he rock a party 'til the early light?
He can't satisfy you with his little worm
But I can bust you out with my super sperm!"
I go do it, I go do it, I go do it, do it, do it
An' I'm here an' I'm there, I'm Big Ban Hank, I'm everywhere
Just throw your hands up in the air
And party hardy like you just don't care
Let's do it, don't stop, y'all, a tick tock, y'all, you don't stop!
Go ho-tel, mo-tel, whatcha gonna do today? (say what?)
I'm gonna get a fly girl, gonna get some spank, drive off in a def OJ
Everybody go, "ho-tel, mo-tel, Holiday Inn"
You say if your girl starts actin' up, then you take her friend
I say skip, dive, what can I say?
I can't fit 'em all inside my OJ
So I just take half, and bust 'em out
I give the rest to Master Gee so he can shock the house
I said M-A-S, T-E-R, a G with a double E
I said I go by the unforgettable name
Of the man they call the Master Gee
Well, my name is known all over the world
By all the foxy ladies and the pretty girls
I'm goin' down in history
As the baddest rapper there ever could be
Now I'm feelin' the highs and you're feelin' the lows
The beat starts gettin' into your toes
You start poppin' your fingers and stompin' your feet
And movin' your body while you're sitting in your seat
And then damn! Ya start doin' the freak, I said
Damn! Right outta your seat
Then you throw your hands high in the air
Ya rockin' to the rhythm, shake your derriere
Ya rockin' to the beat without a care
With the sureshot MCs for the affair
Now, I'm not as tall as the rest of the gang
But I rap to the beat just the same

These guys KNEW they were onto something big, I think 😃
By blatently RIPPING OFF the solo bass track form Chic's 1979 hit Good times?
give it a listen for yourself and draw your own conclusions

--Rick
Crazy
Original rap.
Little did they know they’d become pioneers for a whole genre of music
Yes and I hit the the dance floor when this song was new. But I am sad to say that the Sugar Hill Gang spawned a whole lot of cheap imitators using computer tracks and political lyrics to promote their music. I believe Rap has taken black music back to the Stone Age. In response to any critics - look at other black musicians playing music during the 1970s and 1980s, look at the quality dance floor tracks they produced.
@@garypautard1069 There was a whole lot of imitators of this sound that you dont remember from the early 80s. And if you know where to look theres plenty of clean conscious rap or dance music that even a Boomer can enjoy, Same as any other genre or time period. Go ahead look at the top 100 from the 60s 70s 80s you gonna see a whole bunch of stuff that is crap and not remembered.
And I remind you that this song uses a sample; aka they made it using the computers/ music production of the time and that your parents wouldve derided this song for not using live instruments.
But really they were just imitating the true pioneers, namely Grandmaster Caz.
And watch it turn to shit….
Eminem is rap god, better than anyone😎
They were rapping, scatting, calling other MCs suckas, sampling, before anyone and all in good nature. These guys were so ahead of their time it's off the charts! 2024
💯
You must be white this was before u mofo could watch us
We been saying this
Pero si se robaron las letras de otros Mc para hacer su canción, de que hablas?
DJs and MCs were doing all that way before them. These guys were just the first to do it commercially
@@emqeezy1519 I was going to say, what sucka MCs could there be if they were the very first

Same here! I'll be 60 soon and I agree with you 100%!!
The pass music was the most talented. Now in 2023 is crap
❤absolutely CORRECT.
in fact this song is a entire SCAM, they stole the whole lyrics from other real rappers ... but thats another story! still a classic!
@@YosbelOropezaonly Hank’s verse and the opener were stolen.
You never actually know you’re making history in the moment
Wreday underrated comment
History in the first rappers who stole another rappers words...frauds
You also need a video camera
True That!!
Agreed!!!!
Can we talk for a minute about how Hank was spitting for close to two minutes without taking a breath and absolutely killing it? Masterful flow.
With Caz’s lyrics.

Sure but only after we talk about the fact there used to be a rapper who went by the name Hank.
@@DeepDeepSpace LOL I thought so too but I love his funky jams hilariously FUNNY 🤣🤣💖🎶
Don’t forget he was moving a lot to
Little did they know…who is here because you spent hours learning these lyrics…and you can still remember them
This song is legendary! Who here in 2024 and beyond? You are a legend as well. God bless
Heard this first in Forza Horizon 4, and I’ve loved it ever since ❤
Now Macy's having an advertising with this song for a Million dollar men's cologne. The music is in a higher pitch tone, really nice ❤

Racism is a myth perpetrated by politicians and professors.
"Disco era",mode music of that era. Boogie style. That's all. But I get your concept.
@geraldblu3229 The name of the song is "Rapper's Delight." A "Rapper" is an MC or a Master of Cermonies in Hip Hop music. They pioneers in Hip Hop.
Perfect transition between 70s Disco & 80s R&B
I'll be 70 years old on Aprill 22,and this song still gets Me out of My seat and dancing with My Lady.

So true but you've still got a certain type of person who doesn't need all that to make it clear they're bent on denying this art form has any legitimacy, talent, or musicianship involved in it. We know exactly what kind of people I mean and it's annoying. This era of hip hop was magical.
❤absolutely CORRECT and true
Yup pub not like this stuff now.
You’re lying if you’re saying this is better than modern rap, but it is a great song

Debbie Harry, Chris Stein and others tell the story of the making of the 1981 hit and the New York music scene that inspired it. A year after the Sugarhill Gang released “Rapper's Delight” in 1979, Blondie recorded “Rapture,” the first major hip-hop hit to use original music rather than sampling other artists' beats.
@@pericasutic8238 Also Mel Torme may have been the first to sing like this in the early 60's. Muhammad Ali claims he was the first rapper when he gave his fast talking rhyming interviews in the late 60'ds and early 70's.

This is an absolute timeless classic.
Yes INDEED.
The first rap recording in 1979. Rapper's Delight" became the first rap song made in U.S
Waldorf Astor technically the second because a group named Fatback made the first rap song but Rapper’s delight was the first rap song to introducing rap to the world
There were some 50's songs with rap-like elements in them, such as "No Money Down" by Chuck Berry. It's not really rap but the verse features Chuck talking to a beat.
Hip pop began on 70's don't ignorant
Rappers appeared on 72
These guys are copy rats
It's unbelievable that the "first" rap song is still my favourite of all. Good vibe never die.
It's just totally brilliant hey
This is the first rap song?
@Brian Meen Yes. First to be recorded.
@@brianmeen2158 No. Blondie was the first to rap in Rapture.

SugarHill Classic - My cousin who was the whitest boy in school knew every word of this song and when we went to the beach he sung the whole song in the back his dad's truck - I'll never forget it, the first time I heard this bad ass song. This was the turning point for me and I then started listening to rap.
I can’t imagine the wonder people felt when they heard this for the first time. It was like nothing else at the time.
It was magical and we sang every word.
It absolutely blew my mind🤯 I couldn't listen to it enough! I still LOVE this song💕 The best rap ever! Clean smooth and real😎
It wasn't played on the radio at first, so the only place I could hear it was at the roller rink, so I went every Friday and Saturday night, and every Sunday afternoon and stayed for the full sessions (including "late skate" on Fri and Sat). When this song would come on, everybody in the rink would rush to the floor. There were coordinated routines to it as well.
We learned all the words and I still know them all.
It was a lot of fun!
I was on stage there in the sequin tubetop. I was 19. Had a great time being in the video at Soap Factory
Wow thats amazing
That's wayy cool 😎
Really 😁
You were fit 😍
How was the cocaine in 1979?
When did we change this for guns? And violencia? We're nuts! We were happy!
in 1992 after the major labels had a famous meeting
@@TheRastafarianStuffno it was actually around 1984-86 when scholly D made “am I black enough for you” and when Ice T made “6 in the mornin’” and then it was fully established & went mainstream in 87-89 when NWA dropped the “Straight Out Of Compton” album, and Eazy E dropped “Boyz In The Hood”.
Here they are; introducing rap to the disco generation. They truly pioneered the 80's!

Oups disco was yet backlashed at the time. UK New wave ruled all over the radio air. Maybe explicit lyrics explain why it better sold in non english spoken countries
Anyone ever wonder how this song would have changed the whole history of disco rap if the sample were to be pitched down & slowed down, I know around the time this song was being made there was no such thing as a sampler, those didn't exist.
@@anonymousyoutuber9480 pitched down?
@@pauloandrade3300 Yeah normally in a sampler when you tune down it slows the pitch, luckily this song was just right in tempo.

Best rap song ever made. Just pure positive energy.
It was the first rap song popularised or recorded Rap has been around
It started at block parties were DJs/Jamaicans were toasting
Maybe Jazz legend invented it too in the 60s listen with open ears to Rappers Delight it has scatting which is borrowed from jazz listen to Jamaican music and toasting/chanting
This was just recorded raps usually weren't recorded it was spoken word toasting or chanting by DJs at parties this was the first recorded and paved the way for later rappers
This was before hiphop got its dark tone instead of the energetic sound you hear in this song (rapper's delight).
When hiphop got to the 90s the tones got more dark.
yeah man, positive vibes only bro
I hope you’re kidding
Absolute greatness! I was introduced to this song by my fourth grade music teacher. She said there was a new kind of music we needed to learn and she passed out wooden rhythm (to the boogity beat) sticks to the class and we proceeded to hip hop hibby to the hibby and we didn't stop rocking to the bang bang boogie.

You're witnessing the birth of "Hip-Hop"
I'm a 1993 baby and whenever I say this is my favorite rap song people look at me like I'm crazy.
That's because it's Hip-Hop.
+max steel hip hop is the culture (MC's, DJ's, graffiti artists, break dancers, beat boxers etc), rap is the lyrical aspect.
TyRonda Smith SugarHill gang calls their music HipHop. You're suggesting that they. The pioneers of the style don't know what the fuck they're talking about. Look at you trying to be so brave - HAH!
+max steel I'm not suggesting anything. They call their music hip hop because it falls within the culture of hip hop, not because it isn't necessarily rap music since they are rapping on the song. I'm just saying that if someone says rap you can't say it's not rap it's hip hop when technically it is still rap music, which also makes it hip hop since rap is a pillar of hip hop

I lived on South Beach, was 19 a bartender. Would walk around with friends at night and we'd all sing this song spot on. 59 now and can't remember my part. Came back to refresh my memory. Best time of my life!
MARYBLEUZ that’s cute 🥰
I love this song
Me and my friends should sing more
I still remember the whole thing. Seriously, like it was yesterday. Best days of my youth, for sure.
Well welcome back sweetheart! This song is very worthy!
ok boomer
Simply wonderful and let's dance
Who doesn't still love this rap today?
Let’s be honest we need this kinda rap back
Modern fans
@@alexanderletta3394let’s be honest, Carti needs to drop the album, this type of music is in the past
@@cr1nge689you say it's in the past but sounds better than 99% of stuff that comes out today. I think the past needs to come back
I have nothing against today's rap; but this is gold.
1956-2014 Rest In Peace Big Bank Hank, you were one of the 3 founding fathers of rap. I know you’re bustin rhymes in the clouds now.
Bobby Rush is another founding father of rap.
Grand Master Caz create the rhymes Hank were using in Rapper's Delight and Hank never gave him credit not even pay him for those rhymes that Grand Master Cazz create

I wouldn't go that far but it was one of the first hip-hop tunes that made me listen more than twice. Then I became interested in the lyrics, I was impressed. ;-)
One of the best rap/ hip hop songs of all time!

Oh yes you do. Look at underground hip hop tapes on CZcams from 1979/78. That’s that raw, original hip hop sound.

Some of these people thought they were listening to disco. They weren’t.
Adam 1 white people* lmao
It's a mix of disco and hip hop
ONLY REASON THESE PEOPLE LISTENING
They sure fooled them😂
Its a funk beat with rap lyrics
This song changed America.
The birth of rap
Look up rare 1940s rap
When he said:
"Bang bang, the boogie to the boogie
Say up jump the boogie to the bang bang boogie"
I felt that.
Rappers have been sampling 70’s beats since the 70’s.
I love Boom Bap but without this song there'd be no boom bap.
Forever grateful
Crazy how you could create something that would have such a huge impact on future generations. Legends!
Back when the drugs were pure
I'm 61 and still here so your point is, #SupermanGris? None.
Yes, and back when the music was MUCH BETTER than it is now!
Word up.
Superman Gris dying*
SRPSKAG0RAZDANkA ..lol
The scared look on my kids' faces when their 54 year old dad is rapping along to the entirety of this gem.😂
Future generations don't let this song die!!!
Thank God for Hip Hop!!!
