I was in the discos when this came out. The 1st time we heard "Hotel, motel, Holiday Inn, if your girl starts actin up, then you take her friend" we dropped dead laughing. So, every time we danced to it, we all yelled out those lines! The background music is from a disco song called "Good Times" by Chic. We all recognized it, and never heard a rap put to music from another song we knew. It was awesome!!
Thank you soo much for reacting to this I always love this since I was little! I’ve never seen the video before it had me cracking up so bad😂😱🤣love it thank you thank you needed that!! Soo fun!!🥰🥰
It’s so weird to hear that GRANDPARENTS are Sugarhill Gang age, it seems like yesterday. At least we are going to have the best retirement villages! We’re gonna rock till we’re 101 years old.
Old school hip hop will never get old, it was just good music. When was the last time you've seen a rapper dance on stage? Now they think they're too gangsta to dance and have fun. Try The Message by Grandmaster Flash And The Furious Five, another classic from 1982.
Nah, that's not true man.Watch Kool Herc talk about it -- The name hip-hop came from the early MCs doing kind of jazz scats while freestyle rapping over records. That kind of 'bippedy-bop, hippedy-hop bop doo-wap' jazz style. It was happening before these guys came around.
this song is such an instrumental, part of my childhood, my teenage years my 20s my 30s my 40s and now my 50s ✅💜it will go down as one of the greatest ever. 💜 so many memories great times and rappers delight. Wow, thank you👏👏👏 I love the younger generation than me Still checking them out 😀😀❤️helped start it all to soooo much GREAT music to for future generations that came after them👏👏👏reminds me, of my friend, Mike,he use 2 to breakdance 💜 we were like 13, 14 ... some of the best times of my life. Thank you for this reaction. It's good stuff.👏👏💜💜
Ohhhhhh the memories !!! I grew up in the 70’s and 80’s…..I’ve roller skated MANY a day and night to THIS song ! Over 40 years later, my brother and I can STILL sing this one together ! I miss those times, I miss those days and those vibes ! There was always a good time to be had ! So thanks man, thanks for bringing those memories and smiles back to me tonight ! As you can see in the video, everyone was having a great time. Dancing, singing, just living it up ! Yeah, I miss that, I miss those times. Life passes by us SO fast !
I still like some later rap and hip-hop. Check out Grandmaster Flash and The Furious Five doing The Message and White Lines, or Coolio doing Gangstas Paradise. I'm also a huge Eminem fan ✊
Hey Sweetheart, I want your channel to succeed, if possible, let people know, regularly, how often you will upload, and stick to it. People will be more loyal. Want to see your numbers go up, I think you are wonderful!
Rap wasn't always fun even in the early days. Listen to "The Message" by Grandmaster Flash. What I used to hear about rap back then was it was a way for people "in the hood" from one part of the country to hear what crap living conditions were like in another part of the country. The popular rap was fun, though, in the early days. Combine that with break dancing, and it was a fun party thing. Some of it got nastier by the late '80s. That stuff came to be called "gangster rap." The epitome of that in the '80s was the group NWA, with tracks like "F**k Tha Police" and "Straight Outta Compton." LL Cool J continued that with tracks like "Momma Said Knock You Out." Gangster rap started becoming popular then.
My 6 & 8 year old grandkids, call gnats, "Sucker MC's," because I was about to call them something else when I remembered the kids were within ear shot, so I switched to "Sucker" but since I'm Old School, I automatically added an MC at the end, and those kids, pick up on everything. The next thing I know, we're in the garden, and I hear the six year old yelling "Get outta here you Sucker MC," and it just stuck. Yep, that's my legacy.
In the same way Rock and Roll hit our parents, this new style called ' Rap' hit us! We had never heard anything like it before!.. and music would never be the same again
I once turned off a first date when I decided to sing this whole song while dancing in my seat on the drive back from our night out. Never saw him again. LOL
I absolutely love your commentary on the ol school vids young man. I can truly see that you were raised right......... U need to open a patreon page and/or site. I promise, I would support you. Technically from what I see, you are Me, bout 25 yrs ago.... And your love of good music makes my ❤ smile 😊😁. Would love to support you brother 🙏👍 KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!!!!!!!
This entire song is actually an entire album- it’s long! So many verses- (there’s different chopped up versions/shortened versions- this one is shortened as well.. likely due to time) Anyway, AND I had the record as a kid and know every word! ICONIC!! ❤️✨👍
This single is timeless to me. Watching reactions like this really brings a smile to my face. You can tell that you're really enjoying it and grinning from ear to ear.
These guys started a genre. In Middle School we played this all the time. Next check out "Friends" By Whodini... Probably spelled the band name wrong, but they made great raps too.
I remember when this song was first playing when I was in high school. If I remember correctly this was the first rap song that hit the mainstream. This was parodied to some degree in the film Revenge of the Nerds.
I absolutely hated this song when it came out because I was in the military at the time and those damn jarheads would play this and funky town over and over and now I love hearing them both because they bring back such great memories from 40 years ago!
Rap/Hip hop used to be fun, was great to listen to. Not to mention amazing story telling from the likes of Grandmaster Flash Furious five. I'm probably wrong here but I had the impression that 'toasting' already existed and as you say was used at a party to accompany records. And in the later 1970s some of the big disco clubs in NY were quite exclusive and as a by product of the backlash to this exclusive scene, rap music became mainstream in NY. It was ready to explode at that time and disco lit the fuse.
Oh my gosh...I can't say anything everybody else hasn't already said. I do not like rap or hip-hop nowadays, because it's just hateful and negative, but this puts a smile on your face, and makes a body get up and move!
Right On my young brutha! Listen to the late 60's until 1976. All the groups, all the soul was from that period. I grew up in 55' and had an am-fm radio above my headboard listening to all the old songs until I fell asleep.
My school..... There is so much actual proper rap from back in the day that is epic.. Flash and the furious five. Mellie Mel.. Cold crush Bros Ramezelle e.. Fab five Freddie. Man Parrish Captain rock... To listen to captain rock.. Trust me.. 🤟😎
I got tickled watching you get tickled. 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅 I was 18 when this hit the airways in 1979. A friend of mine knew the words to the first rap song. Boy that was like one of my top priorities. To learn those Rap Lyrics. I am 62 now. Those were the good old days. Rappers were not killing one another. We could go party and have a good time. But yes. I had to learn the words and I did. ❤❤❤❤
I was in 7th grade (1980/81) when this song made its way to a town in SoCal. Middle School dance, 1st time I heard it. Bought the 12" Maxi VINYL Single. It had 3 versions: Side A was a 20 minute (roughly) version, and Side B had 2 versions of varying lengths. I let a High School GF borrow it, along with a few other Albums, got all back, but for The Sugarhill Gang Album. Grrrrr!
Before RUclips people had to actually go out and make it by themselves. Starting in dark, smokey bars, or on the streets. People went out, to buy your tapes, lp or CD. Maybe it's me, but today's movies, music, TV programming, it's so dry. I don't want to see anymore lumberjacks and crabfishers. Never would have thought 80s and 90s were that good. I miss the 90s.
amazing, young black man realizes there was a time black rap was all about, fun good times, till it all got distorted, corrupted, total degradation, pass the Kaopeptake
There is a 14 Min full version of Rappers Delight. The 14 Min Version was played at Clubs and Parties and School Dances and Skating Rinks etc. We learned the Words to Rappers Delight. When people would call the Radio Station to request the Song they would say Play that Hip Hop song. I was 15 when this song came out. All Races got along and danced to this song. There was so much more unity back then. I graduated High school in 1982!
The sugar hill summer...it was everywhere..and Blondie's Rapture...first time we in the mid west ever heard this before...it started a whole new type of music in the minds of middle average America that has become the highest grossing genre of music in history...
The Beastie Boys borrowed the line “I don’t mean to brag, I don’t mean to boast” but they finished it with “I’m intercontinental when I eat French toast” instead of “we like hot butter on our breakfast toast”.
I’m sorry to hear about the awful music that’s wayy too violent that you’ve been used 🥺🥲😢!! There soo needs to be more music like this that really is fun and makes you laugh and smile with a good beat to dance to!!
Rap eventually lost it's way after the disco era. Instead remaining artistically playful and deeply devoted to a great dance beat, it became too aggressive and militant. The Beastie Boys always kept their sense of humour intact, which is why they are still so respected and deeply loved by everyone who appreciates great music.
At the start Hip Hop and Rap was fun, exciting, freeing.....and then the Gangster Rap era came in and at the start it was great and then it just got old and redundant and the songs never came back to being fun true hip hop.
You should open a dance club and just play 70’s and 80’s music ! It would be so much fun and a definite moneymaker! …..people need to back out there dancing in a nice respectful club.
I live in Conroe Texas my friend and I ordered this record and waited months to get it at the record store we were one of the few that got it and we wore it out everybody was dancing❤
Some consider this to be the first rap song. Others say it’s Blondie’s, “Rapture”. I love both songs, but “Rapper’s Delight” is the quintessential rap song for a certain age group. We all knew every word. Always played at the skating rink. The floor was packed. 🛼 🪩 🛼
Rapper's Delight by The Sugarhill Gang is the first recorded rap song but not the first. In fact, the first rap song ever is unknown. Blondie's Rapture is the first rap song with video played in MTV and in TV history.
The term hip hop genre came from these guys Wonder Mike you hear him sing hip hop hippity hop people are going into the record stores asking for the record this is hip hop
Delightful to watch you JB. I still remember most of the words! You see the rainbow people dancing and grooving to it? That's how it was, in my experience. It was great.
I can't think of this song without picturing the older gal in the film The Wedding Singer. Adam Sandler's character is her vocal coach as she wants to sing a song for her husband at their upcoming anniversary. After finishing the song "Until There Was You" at the event, next thing you see her performing is this Sugarhill Gang classic...and it's great! I'd like to suggest a movie for you, if I may. It's named Krush Groove. It was released in the early 80's and features many prominent rap/hip hop artists of the day (and to this day)...The Fat Boys, Sheila E., L.L. Cool J, The Beastie Boys, Run DMC, Kurtis Blow, Bobby Brown, Bel Biv Devoe, a veritable who's who of those early days. You were absolutely correct when you said Sugarhill Gang didn't realize they were making history...but that's often how it goes. Keep rockin' and stay heavy! Wishing everyone peace, love, and good happiness stuff from the mountains of northeastern Alabama 🤘
This was back when rap was fun, interesting, insightful, clever and cool.
Yes
Oh yes, instead of the tedious crap from the last 30 years.
Best reaction saying "They didn't know they were making history that night". You are absolutely on point.
Exactly!
This had everyone up on the dance floor. And we had it memorized!
Still remember the words, but can’t remember where I put my keys……
Found the keys 😜
@@laurakali6522facts I was rapping along & look for my glasses on top of my head 😂😂

Old school hip hop will never get old, it was just good music. When was the last time you've seen a rapper dance on stage? Now they think they're too gangsta to dance and have fun. Try The Message by Grandmaster Flash And The Furious Five, another classic from 1982.
I LOVED THIS ALBUM ❤️ This was the whole side of their album!!!💯💯💯💯
The name "Hip Hop" for this genre of music came literally from this song.

Rapper's Delight should be taught in schools.
Not only the first rap song but the first sampled song. The sample is from Chic's Good times.
Thank You for doing this reaction. It's been a long time since I've seen this.

These were our party songs back in the 70s so much fun.

I just love watching him dance!

hotel, motel, Holiday Inn, so much fun, can relate to chicken like wood
Grandmaster Caz wrote Hanks rhyme. Grandmaster Caz was a local legend in hip hop. I wish they did the whole song tho
In the same way Rock and Roll hit our parents, this new style called ' Rap' hit us! We had never heard anything like it before!.. and music would never be the same again
One of my favorites and I still know every word. So glad you young people are revisiting it, TY for the great reaction!

We were all competing at school as to who could learn the bars the quickest.
Great reaction. It's lovely to see you upbeat and happy🥰
This single is timeless to me. Watching reactions like this really brings a smile to my face. You can tell that you're really enjoying it and grinning from ear to ear.
Your reaction was delightful! This came out about the time of my first love. I couldn't wait to tell him about this. That was 40 + years ago
These guys started a genre. In Middle School we played this all the time. Next check out "Friends" By Whodini... Probably spelled the band name wrong, but they made great raps too.
Turned to the violent really with NWA among others.
when we were kids we would "challenge" each other to see who knew this song the best
I remember when this song was first playing when I was in high school. If I remember correctly this was the first rap song that hit the mainstream. This was parodied to some degree in the film Revenge of the Nerds.

Takes me back to the roller rinks in the 70's!!
This is old school! 😂
We grew up in the best of times!
It was a lot of fun in those days , we always wanted to go out and dance or roller skating, good memories.
Exactly. Having fun was the main thing first and foremost.

I live in Conroe Texas my friend and I ordered this record and waited months to get it at the record store we were one of the few that got it and we wore it out everybody was dancing❤
This is the short version of this song. Check out the 15 min. version on your own some time, JB.
I get the impression from the history I've heard that these guys were freestyling the whole thing.
Eric B. and Rakim--I Ain't No Joke
Beastie Boys--Paul Revere
Afrika Bambataa--Planet Rock
Roxanne Shante--Roxannes revenge
Omg! My Afro Jazz dance class used to rock out to Afrika Bambaata!
My brother gave me the record when it came out, I learnt the lyrics and I still know every word to this day😃
If you are looking for old school hip hop classics, look up "Looking for the Perfect Beat" by Soulsonic Force
Check out LL Cool J I'm Bad!!
There's actually an extended version of this. Just gets funnier every time I watch it 🤣💙🎶
