{"title":"The Sugarhill Gang","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThough the Sugarhill Gang inaugurated the history of recorded hip-hop with their single \"Rapper's Delight,\" a multi-platinum-seller and radio hit in 1979, the group was cooked up to cash in on a supposed novelty item. Music industry producer and label owner Sylvia Robinson had become aware of the massive hip-hop block parties occurring around the New York area during the late '70s, so she gathered three local rappers (Master Gee, Wonder Mike, and Big Bank Hank) to record a single. Infectious and catchy, \"Rapper's Delight\" borrowed the break from Chic's \"Good Times\" and became a worldwide hit, eventually selling more than eight million copies. Most industry people figured rap for a short-lived trend, and though they were dead wrong, the Sugarhill Gang certainly didn't carry the torch; despite several modest hits (\"8th Wonder,\" \"Apache\"), the trio faded quickly and was gone by the mid-'80s, only returning in 1999 with Jump on It, a rap album for children. ~ John Bush, Rovi\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"the-sugarhill-gang-here-i-am-7","title":"The Sugarhill Gang - Here I Am (7”)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrading\u003c\/strong\u003e*\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMedia: \u003cstrong\u003eVG\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSleeve: \u003cstrong\u003eGeneric\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTracklist\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Here I Am\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eB Rapper’s Delight\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl, 7”, Single, 45 RPM\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 1980\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e*Grading is based off visual inspection.

Put together by legendary recording artist\/producer\/record owner Sylvia Robinson who named the group after her record label Sugarhill Records, The Sugarhill Gang revolutionized music by introducing a new art form and subculture throughout the world. Sugarhill Gang made history in 1979 with their debut 12\" rap single \"Rappers Delight,\" the first commercial rap record ever made and one of the largest selling 12\" singles of all time with over 15 million records sold. In addition to the milestone \"Rappers Delight,\" 1996's The Best of Sugarhill Gang collects further archetypal fare from the seminal group like \"Apache,\" \"8th Wonder,\" and \"Showdown\" (with the Furious Five) among others.
