When my 53 yr old ass hears this I'm transported back to a NYC street corner wearing my red Adidas track suit with my shell tops with the fat red laces (cos u already know it all had to match) standing in a b-boy stance. Best days ever! #FRESH ☺
I'm 55 and keepin' it live! I remember this song echoing off the houses as we walked by carrying the over-sized, 12 battery takin' boom box! I think that's why my right arm is bigger than my left to this day!
That's a real good excuse 😉 for your right arm being bigger than the left 😁😆. Real party music and a real throw back!!! Those days are forever with us. I'm 53 l will be 54 in 13 dayz
Hey bro, four years after your comment I’m now 58, and I memorized this entire rap when it came out during my senior year in high school. We used to play it during our track meets and it lit a fire in us!!
Also, after 40 years, I finally know what Big Bank Hank was saying in his interlude: “See it’s up my back, it’s around my neck *hoohah* got you all in check.” All the time before, I thought he was saying: “She had sucked my back it’s around my neck.” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Busta rhymes got whoo ha! Got you all in check from The Sugar Hill Gang from their classic song The 8th Wonder Busta payed homage to The Sugar Hill Gang Nuff Respect Busta Bus RIP Big Bad Hank true hip hop

On this day in 1981 {May 16th} the Sugarhill Gang performed "8th Wonder" on the nationally syndicated television program, 'Soul Train'... Ten weeks earlier it had peaked at #15 {for 1 week} on Billboard's Hot Soul Singles chart... Between 1979 and 1983 the New Jersey group had seven records on the Hot Soul Singles chart, one made the Top 10, "Rapper's Delight", it peaked at #4 {for 2 weeks} on November 25th, 1979... Besides the above two records, their five other charted records were "Apache" {#53 in 1981}, "Showdown"* {#49 in 1981}, "The Lover in You" {#55 in 1982}, "The Word Is Out" {#71 in 1983}, and "Kick It Live from 9 to 5" b/w "The Lover in You" {#50 in 1983}... R.I.P. Don Cornelius {1936 - 2012}... * The record label for "Showdown" read 'The Furious Five Meet The Sugarhill Gang'...
I'm 56 and this is stilly favorite song. We had these songs to end up to swearing degrading our women and thinking selling drugs and gang life is where is supposed to be.
I’m 57 and every time I hear this song(FAVORITE by Sugarhill Gang)my mind instantly goes back to Christmas 1980. I was 14 with my sister/aunt and friend Vernell.After a visit with my grandmother we were headed back to DC on the bus with a boombox I got from my grandma for Christmas………. Let’s just say this song came on and we were the ONLY THREE on that LONG ride since it was just 1 bus that ran every TWO hours so basically a “round trip” and we got on it cuz we were soooo COLD. My sister/aunt and I were dancing up and down the aisle to this having a BALL 🎉🥳💃🏽💃🏽and the bus driver let us while he laughed and just drove that A12…the GOOD OLE DAYS that I MISS so bad. R.I.E.P Eileen and Vernell 🙏🏽🙏🏽🕊️🕊️♥️❣️♥️
I think that some props should also go out to Alabama group 7th Wonder for their song ”Daisy Lady”, which is creating the hook that this gem is resting on. Which also explains the title. Enjoy... ruclips.net/video/zz1t7Spzzkc/видео.html
This track was so hooky; from the horn arrangement to the 'Woohah'!!! This wasn't just a great Hip Hop record, it was simply a great record period. Respect and RIP to Henry 'Big Bank Hank' Jackson.
It’s 11/6 2020 I’m 53 and still listening to good rap. Reminds me of high school when this stuff first came out and we was poppin and lockin. Good times good times
I don't think I'm bad don't box or know karate just an MC to put the boogie in your body I'm 47, so I missed their heyday, but I still love it too. This is my favorite Sugar Hill Gang joint, for sure.
Now lemme say, this is when rap made sense. No lude content, no cussing. just straight-up good rap dance music that still lives on to this very day. But these young cats today, have no clue. They need to step back and listen to the creators and founders of Rap. That's right, it's the Sugarhill Gang, followed by Kurtis Blow. But this will never get old. Last night I was bumpin' this in my car to the gas station and these young cats came up and stopped and was bobbin' they heads and then asked, "who is that?" I said, "awww yeah, you like that huh?" "This The Sugarhill gang." And immediately dude was lookin' it up on his phone. Simply sayin', "this will neva get old!" Holla... I'll holla.....!
I remember coming out of the club or a party ringing wet from dancing from the time I went in the door, I never sat down because Sugar Hill, Furious 5, Grandmaster flash and all the rap songs we could rap with and understand, they not rapping about their guns , some girl they calling a bitch or Hoe or sucking on them and no type of rhythm or dance beat today they are jumping up and down like they in aroebic class or scoping out some dude they either gonna rob or kill them before the night is over I loved the era of time when I was growing up partying....
I stayed up half the night trying to hum this song i to sound hound to see if it would bring it up. But I finally found it this morning. Use to Jam skate to this and have boogie contests at the rink in the late 80s! Im 46 ahhh the memories
Saw them in 79 and that was the first time I saw a rap group. I was not a fan of rap at the time, but after their amazing performance, I was converted! The band that backed them up was second to none. Those dudes could play a washboard and drain pipe and make it sound good!
2017 and I have this on a compilation CD (track 10) in my car right now. Too bad my transmission went bad, though. The CD is actually ejected from the player but hanging by its edge (it came out when I disconnected the battery). The beat is great. Woohaa!
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...

But nothing can top those funky fresh days!
When my 53 yr old ass hears this I'm transported back to a NYC street corner wearing my red Adidas track suit with my shell tops with the fat red laces (cos u already know it all had to match) standing in a b-boy stance. Best days ever! #FRESH ☺
I’d pay to see you find a piece of broken down cardboard and get to work
@@vinniethegooch7830 Lol now at 53 there would be a lot more poppin and lockin than windmills and back spins 😂
You know it
I'm 55 and keepin' it live! I remember this song echoing off the houses as we walked by carrying the over-sized, 12 battery takin' boom box! I think that's why my right arm is bigger than my left to this day!
Lol. Word
Great times we had back then
Lol.....great times i indeed.....this has to be one of rap's biggest hit ever
That's a real good excuse 😉 for your right arm being bigger than the left 😁😆. Real party music and a real throw back!!! Those days are forever with us. I'm 53 l will be 54 in 13 dayz
🎛️ Ugh!! The batteries 4 our boom boxes back then!🎛️😄

Priceless 🔥
Nice post my friend on that 8th wonder. My blue toorh just said battery low. Long way from my boom! box with the lights on. And I'm still jamming it!!

Powerful horns in freestyle rap hip hop funky era, what more could we ask for!!! Miss the 80’s
This is my favorite sugar Hill gang song of all times
One of the greatest jams of all time...80's original. Sunset Park hooky sets
My favorite song to roller skate to back in the day. Hearing this brings back great memories! Never gets old.

Where does the synth trumpet sample come from? Is it original?
Busta rhymes got whoo ha! Got you all in check from The Sugar Hill Gang from their classic song The 8th Wonder Busta payed homage to The Sugar Hill Gang Nuff Respect Busta Bus RIP Big Bad Hank true hip hop
Bringing back those memories when the record player was huge and sat on the floor! Loving it!

Why is this song so f****ing good
Much respect for posting this old school rap classic.
Real hip hop just having fun not talking about killing nobody!!!!!

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...
And here I am in 2021, 59 years old, still grooving to this as we did in college!
When this music was fun!!!!!
Exactly
True
@Bo Spoonson just wanted to ask the same.... "was"??? isn't it anymore??
Hey, this was the jam!!! 1980 something. Lol. I used to know all the lyrics... this was when music was simple. Now, I can't even keep up with the music these days.
This joint was 🔥 back then and still 🔥 in the present. 💯
Always loved when those 📯kick in 🎶🎵

I said ah, hip-hop, ah thanks a lot
Ah c'mon everybody gimme whatcha got

With the pow pow boogie and a big bang bang
And if you want to rap to the Sugarhill to the beat
Gotta rap in the key of are-A-P

Ah see I met this girl and I said to her, "Honey

Turned around, didn't mean no harm
I knocked her out, with my vicious charm
I said, "No no baby it's not like that
Ya see I'm all about makin' that cold cold cash"
Started jivin' around, started messin' wit her head
And next thing I know, she wanted to go to *whistle*
But to turn me on, you got to be the best
'Cause I'm the Master G, I don't take no mess
Like T-N-T, I'm dynamite
Ya see I rock your body to the early light
And when you wake up in the morning you'll see I'm gone
And check it out girl, you're all alone
'Cause you just been hit by the Capricorn King
I rocked you gentle, I rocked you/me
I rocked you in and I rocked you out
You made me scream but I made you shout *whistle*
