Man, oh man. The Sugar Hill Gang had all the parents scratching their heads. I can remember my mom asking me "They don't sing, they're just gonna talk through the whole record?" Silly rabbit, she had no idea what was about to come. 😆
get some card board so I can break to this almost 44 yrs later and this joint still makes me wanna bust a move....Hip Hop Don't Stop 50 yrs and will always be the best music.
This is it for me 100% Was never into hip-hop Love my rock & country just all types of music really but for me watching Star Wars for the first time man this was it.... I’m 52 years old and when I hear this song I just want to go Bombin 🤷♂️
Had NO idea there was a video for this jam!! This is on my iPod’s old school hip hop playlist. Came here cuz I Just finished schooling someone on how Busta Rhymes sampled his Whoo-ha gotcha all in check from this song.
On this day in 1981 {September 5th} the Sugarhill Gang perform "8th Wonder" on the Dick Clark ABC-TV Saturday-afternoon program 'American Bandstand'... Earlier in 1981 on February 1st the song entered Billboard's Top 100 chart at position #98, seven weeks later it would peak at #82 {for 1 week} and it spent 9 weeks on the Top 100... It reached #15 on Billboard's Hot R&B Singles chart... The group had two other Top 100 records, "Rapper's Delight"* {peaked at #36 in 1980} and "Apache" {reached #53 in 1982}... *Rapper's Delight" has the distinction of being the first rap single to become a Top 40 hit on the Billboard Hot Top 100...
@1:50 Origins of Hip Hop brought me here. Just learned this is where Busta Ryhmes "Got u all in check" came from🤯🤯💯💯. Hip hop is timeless and undefeated 🙌🏽
Whooahh !!! i had this album in 1979 and still have it. 8th Wonder was my favorite more that Rappers Delight. Same as i like Beat Street Breakdown more than The Message and Survival.
It was this Song I learned to Rap! I thank my Friend Across the Street for Writing the Lyrics to 8th Wonder! I'm Still Rapping Now Thanks to Sugar Hill Gang & a lot more 80's Rappers. RIP Big Bank Hank! I'll Always Treasure The Sugar Hill Gang.
On this day in 1981 {May 16th} the Sugarhill Gang performed "8th Wonder" on the nationally syndicated television program, 'Soul Train'...

Here is a fun fact for everyone. This beat was sampled from the song 'Daisy Lady' by the group 7th Wonder of Tuskegee Alabama. There very well may have never been Hip Hop without the creation of that song. Look it up.
@@shadmoney6617 we use scratch the beat to shreds 7wonder on the techniques.....n love rap, big beat n cherl lynns to be real n many more......we had crates of beats n records, them were the days
@@jaycompany4886 That is cool as hell. My ex's father was a member of 7th Wonder. Allen Williams is his name. I literally just realized the night before last that there song was the original. They were out around the same years as the Commodores. That song in particular was produced by one of the Commodores members. My ex's father also sang the hook and the breakdown on The Commodores song 'Lady.'
Lots of rappers have and do give thanks bc they know where rap came from, but when I was a DJ another dj told me it would die! I said NO WAY! They're gone to their maker and died knowing they were WRONG! RIP Sofie, you played music but couldn't mix scratch or blend, you tried E for effot! 😂😇 awesome rap, made people happy and party not kill and release anger from a damn glok! These young rappers who have such anger need to think about making their little brothers and sisters aspire and be happy in 'life! All the negative raps were starting even back then, I never played that shit, but some labels from NAW are worth good money! And in the shape their in, I'd sell to the highest bidder!.... mine are dj promos from record pools etc. and never played...lol! Ah the good old party days where playing in a club was great fun, esp with the party up in the Booth! DJ '82 my handle and every yr the numbers changed and so didn't my pay! Lol best Job ever to have, WHOOP WHOOP! There's still a few with my mix tapes, out there! If you know me say hi, hope you've still got those jams! I know a few who do, but transferred to disc, bc those tapes deteriorate esp played so much...though the quality isn't the same digital is dead, vinyl lives forever! YAY! Best turntables still got em' bought one at a time before I started making real $ , took em too my club played em for my boss he bought 2 for the club! Wizards....small city north of NYC , Binghamton ny! Only place back then that'll let you play rap...then, lol! Not tooting my horn reminiscing and need a damn time machine to go back! Anyone got a time machine, lmao?!?!?! Say ho, everybody scream! And shout let's turn this sucker out! Everybody say ho! Ho! Djv'82.....
that's THE rap music, i wonder how did the lyrical theme change so much these days in rap songs, they only talk about money, drugs, girls,their fame and their cars!
As sure as God lives those caskets and statues has and will not have anything to do with me, and peace and blessings to whom they represent. I saw a G. I've seen it all.
