I was about sixteen when this came out, and my mind was blown. I recognized that Glide was in the song since I am from the West Coast, and Pleasure is a Portland, Oregon, band. Most cats didn't like Sugarhill Groove, but I was a hip-hop head who loved it when rap got more arduous, and Big Bank blew the top off microphones.
I've been watching your videos for going on 8 years now. Thank you for all of your hard work and dedication. These lessons are like an advanced graduate course on hip hop history.
Wow Jay Quan your research and rap history is on point love what you do keep doing it you are quite authentic and I appreciate all the work you put into rap music Hip Hop culture thank you from the bottom of my heart God bless you Jay Quan because of you Hip Hop Lives on...
AY! shout out to you brother ! you know I LOVE this channel so dearly! its good to see you back as always... HEY I just saw you at the museum Blessings our greats such a kool rock ski, sha rock , Kurits and Kris... i was so happy to see you there. to me you are our master Historian! you never speak from a place of Bias or arrogance you let the story tell itself. the culture should always be Proud of you and how you conduct yourself for it. Be Blessed Brother I'm here for you !
And he goes by the name of Tito Puente!!! I also could not appreciate that refrain back in the day. Now I think it's amazing they had the legendary Tito Puente on the record. That should have had a featuring on the label or something, not just a shout-out. This whole single could have been marketed with him as the highlight. Ms. Rob had them connections...
Dope beat on that one. I'm ancient school so I always preferred actual drums over drum machines. I never heard this til many years later when a buddy of mine had a friend from NYC who made a tape for him. Great party jam.
Wassup JayQuan! @eppsart here! Thanks for another GREAT lesson! We lost Rico Wade, Mister Cee and Keith LeBlanc in the same month. I was blessed to contribute to the official Rico Wade memorial in Atlanta on Friday. RIP brothers.
This was my sh*t!!been looking for this forever thought the name was 9th wonder for some reason 😅🤷....THANKS!!just added to my Spotify playlist 👍👍👍👍💯💯💯💯💯
Hip Hop Historian, I was at a Sugar Hill Gang Show, in Charlotte at Carowinds Paladium, in the early 80's. I ended up backstage, and stood behind the keyboard player, that I wouldve sworn was Bernie Worrell. Is that possible? I was high as a kite. So was the backing band after i got there. Tis could have been right at the time of Sugar Hill Groove. The band at the Carowinds Paladium was fantastic. They got my phone digits and the road manager, Terry Hart or Gary, maybe. Thanked me for bringing the funk. Help me figure out exactly when that show was and who was in the band. They might remember that trippin white boy with the funk. Talk to me...
Huge fan of this song by the sugarhill gang I got the single on 12inch vinyl and I got the first hip-hop album on vinyl by the sugarhill gang first album self titled with that song on there 3 rap songs 2 r&b songs and one instrumental im happy I got sugarhill gang and Kurtis blow first albums on vinyl rest in peace Keith and Duke bootie shout out to dj cheese he knows Duke bootie and Keith dj cheese is part of word a mouth and the 3 three mc's let me say this here I am and bad news sugarhill kill those songs on the r&b tip I feel they got Kurtis blow on the singing style but Kurtis kill daydreaming he master that song rap is so brand new the singing got to come in for rap music to come in props to Sylvia for doing that in the 1980 same with Kurtis blow back in 1980 as well the very beginnings of hip-hop on records 1979 to 1980 amazing jayquan I watch the old school tribute awards on RUclips and the hip-hop museum is way better than the Grammy awards on mainstream TV I still watch it on RUclips keep up the great work 50 years of hip-hop let's continue to keep real hip-hop alive
Your doing a great job can you expand the histories to other cities like CHICAGO and how it tied to the early days of hip hop and the contributions this and other great cities had and you can't do it work with those respective dj and producers its time to bring hip hop back to its rightful place in our culture
My boy has came back. Jayquan , can you cover Raheem the vigilantie. I think he's from Pennsylvania. He had a song called "shotgun" and "eliminator" etc back in like 87-88.
@@TheFoundationhiphop facts, u remember dude !!!! he was NICE. Jay u gotta find him mane and interview him. I heard he was driving trucks in Philly. I'm a truck driver too & whenever I go to Philly, I be looking for him at the truck stop lol. But seriously everyone forgot about dude - sad

I think Rodney O and Joe Cooley sampled the Tito Puente part in "Cooley High"
Aka Professor Fats/ Love Bug Starski main man on the Dance floor at Disco Fever!
Have you seen any rare park jam footage or old hip hop parties?
People who know STILL talk about Sound On Sound.
