Who’s here in 2024? I love this song I used to live in DC 1976-79 I used to watch Soul Train religiously Saturday morning after the cartoons. Missed those days. Everyone just having a good time.❤❤❤❤🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤
This song is so important in the ground it broke. Every Hip Hop and Rap artist should pay homage to it. Just as rock and roll owes it's beginning to Jackie Brenston's Rocket 88 in 1951.
@@Waltyworld This might be a shock for you and your fellow Americans, but not everyone in this world speaks perfect American, since they are not from the best country in the world, 'Merrica. Now, it is hard to explain the meaning of bi- or trilingual to someone like you, but at least I can assure you that those words are not new sexual orientations. Just a quick game of logic.

I was in high school in the 70’s graduated in 75. We were white and watched Soul Train every time it came on. Love 💕 this song!!! I’m still love dancing in my 60’s. Good times and best song 🎶 of the 70’s!!💖💃
R.I.P Henry Lee Jackson A.K.A Big Bank Hank he used to live right around the corner from me in the Bronx at that time he was dating my neighbor Valerie whom he married to.
When my Brother got his first Car, a ‘72 Chevy Malibu, it had an 8Track Player in it, and he would play this whenever he and I went riding Blaring in his 4 Speaker System. 😂… He Sadly passed away in ‘97 at 34 years old. I play this song to remind me of those days. Miss and Luv ya, Brother. R.I.P. Randy. 😢❤️🩹
When everyone just had fun and lived for the moment no matter what struggles they were going through and the music was made with heart and soul. I was 1 year old lol. Love this tune 🎤🕺🎶
I had this in my head for days and finally played it today. I was like this is so beyond fierce and I was 9 when it was released initially. I'm still dancing to this in 2022 and loving it. The Sugarhill Gang makes modern hip hop sound like noise.
This timeless! I'm 58yo and listen to many styles of music. This speaks for itself after decades, turn it up and love it again love it some more..... peace
Cuando era pequeño y salia en carro con mi papá y mi mamá mi papá ponia esta música de los 80s tengo 27 años pero me encanta la música de los 80s la mejor música de todos los tiempos 🙌🏼💯👌🏼🔥
in the early 90s all us cool kids got together and decided that it was a crime not to know all these lyrics and the lyrics to paul revere, electric relaxation, and me myself and i.
I once got a DUI and was in the city jail and on Saturday morning they played this song on Soul Train and even though everyone was down on their luck everyone danced like we didn’t have a care in the world !
I was 10 years old when I first heard this song in southern California in 1979 had just come back to my dads from the beach...I still remember all the words and I always have to hear it in its entirety. Great song!
Never will forget my friend played this for me on her great big wooden stereo in 1980. Just two teenage white girls jamming. Luckily we lived within the radio station range of Tuskeegee Costee Macnair’s broadcasts and got all of it fresh✨
I don't recall when I first heard this, but it was a staple at the Friday night post-football game dances in high school ('83-'86). So many GREAT memories!
Está canción la escuché por primera vez en 1979, estaba en 2do de secundaria y verdaderamente me impacto el género, me fascinó, nos puso a los chavos en otra dimensión, fué el primer rap de mi vida, para los que creen que inventaron el rap en el 2000.
El rap ya se escuchaba desde los 70's pero no se conocía así, se le denominaba música Disco, posteriormente evolucionó a Breakdance desde inicio de los 80's, en la película Xanadu se ven bailarines haciendo el breakdance, en la canción de Last Night a DJ Save Mt Life de Indeep también se nota el acentuado rap o manera de cantar, ya en 1984 se hizo famoso como Breakdance incluso con el baile. A finales de los 80's principios de los 90's se conoció ya como Rap y así pasaron los años hasta el día de hoy como se conoce.
The kids on this show were already so far ahead as a creative cultural force that dancing nowadays blends everything -ballet, modern dance, capoeira, free-style, poppin, hip hop- It’s a dance revolution!!
I was in high school from 1976 to 1979 in Guadalajara, Jalisco Mexico and how we loved that song, I will never forget it, what a beautiful time, without the need for liquor, or weed, or drugs, we lived together in a very healthy environment.
On this day in 11th July 1973 Rap music was born, thanks to DJ Kool Herc, it was later known as Hip Hop, but one of the main players & biggest seller at the time was this rap classic that never ages, it is 15 mins long, it rocked many a party & gave The Sugar Hill Gang legendary status
I sang part of this song to some brothers in a bar awhile back and it absolutely blew em away that a 60 year old white man pulled it off. I was in The Marines when this song came out and if you were stuck in an open squad bay you heard it 20 times a day. I'm personally a rocker and didn't care for the song back then but it's grown on me over the years. It's a pretty fun song.
Although there were rap songs before this, this is the song that set everything in motion. I remember it first came on the radio everyone was blown away. I'm 54 yrs old and I still know the lyrics word for word lol
Ahhhhh Yeah! Way back in the day (70's) a guy used to bring his boom box to the school bus stop and he'd have this playing. I was so shy back then, but I was secretly dancing and rapping without moving or singing at all! This is a real life memory here ;)
This song is 45 years old, and it’s STILL a badazz tune!

This song/rap will never get old. 1979 to forever
This song is so important in the ground it broke. Every Hip Hop and Rap artist should pay homage to it. Just as rock and roll owes it's beginning to Jackie Brenston's Rocket 88 in 1951.
This started it all. These are the innovators who brought Rap to thew world consciousness

Lord have mercy..This were the good old days. I wish I could go back. I used to dance to this awesome Rap in High School and it was fun!! ❤
The first real rapper music, a true legend in his own words. Thanks for posting this treasure.
La meilleure chanson Rap de toujours depuis 1979,j'avais 16ans
Je l'écoute encore à 61ans,pleins de souvenirs. Merci à Sugar Hill
😉👋
The Sugar Hill Gang's 12-inch single "Rapper's Delight" - released in 1979 - became the first rap song to be played on the radio.
I was in high school in the 70’s graduated in 75. We were white and watched Soul Train every time it came on. Love 💕 this song!!! I’m still love dancing in my 60’s. Good times and best song 🎶 of the 70’s!!💖💃

Eu também 🎸
Yes, those were better times.
🥰 Ah shucks ! BREAK DANCING ! 😀😂
Damn ! Miss Soul Train . We grew up humble in our days . The good ol’ days .
It's hard to believe this is over 40 years old. It seems like just yesterday this was at the top of the charts. Times were good back then.
Oh yes
This was when rap was good
@@lethathorpe2373 ... Yes, and I loved the longer mix!! ... and when we danced together, yes we jammed!!
Amen & amen!! Such a good feeling listening to this!! #rollerskatingfridays
Yes it was
The SugarHill Gang pure old school rap group.
Wonder Mike, Big Hank and Master Gee top class.
RIP Big Hank
Along with Kurtis Blow as well 😎👌
Qué maravilla para mis oidos, segun yo la bailaba mejor qué todos y es porque volaba con la melodia, tenía 15 años💫💫💫
When Rap was still beautiful a music
I'm 61 serving time back in 79 wit the soul brothers and still jamming like a mf days how it is
The G.O.A.T. of rap songs. It's like my senior year of high school all over again
I had this in my head for days and finally played it today. I was like this is so beyond fierce and I was 9 when it was released initially. I'm still dancing to this in 2022 and loving it. The Sugarhill Gang makes modern hip hop sound like noise.
I was around same age...we sang this in the lunch line in elementary school as one...teachers shocked we knew all the songs 🤣😂😂😂
I was 9 too and it’s the same for me ;)
It is
I was 7 yrs old. Doin the jitter bug. In the living room with my Big Brother. I just turned 52🎉😂. Life was so easy back then. Rewind ⏪

Ya but the world was dancing to Rappers delete in AUGUST OF 1979s . 70s all the way I REMEBER IT VERY WELL
The best rappers of all time 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
I was only 4 and still remember my dad& uncles playing this
The genius of Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards..on rhythm guitar and bass.
legendär! a legend - the beginning of Rap
I once got a DUI and was in the city jail and on Saturday morning they played this song on Soul Train and even though everyone was down on their luck everyone danced like we didn’t have a care in the world !

Rock & Soul '95 another moonwalker 😌
This song is a fate vs Another One Bites the Dust (Queen 1979) and Good Times (Chic 1978). They started all...
Another one bites the dust came out in 1980 ,This song came out in the summer of 1979
It’s all good times…no Queen
Never will forget my friend played this for me on her great big wooden stereo in 1980. Just two teenage white girls jamming. Luckily we lived within the radio station range of Tuskeegee Costee Macnair’s broadcasts and got all of it fresh✨

I'm personally a rocker and didn't care for the song back then but it's grown on me over the years. It's a pretty fun song.
Yeah I'm turning 60 soon I'm also white and favored rock but I gotta give rappers credit when it's due.
Some of good times and rap what good mix😎
Such good memories dancing to this back in the day......🎉
This song brings me really good times as a teenager.... A long time ago...

Riascoltare un brano ballato quando ero giovanissimo è un'emozione.
The bass line sounds like CHIC's song Good Times (1978).
...they asked to use and they said yes...😀🪩
