Bringing The Old School To The Bay SUGAR HILL GANG Live Sunday September 9th
- Thread starter C-4
- Start date
yeah its not even really our show we jsut know the promoter and since we do the hip hop there she wanted us to help promote it she usually only deals with rock shows but she wanted to book old school hip hop for a change infact sugar hill contacted her cuz they will be in the area so she booked them at last day saloon and timeout and for the record i agree with your statements mark
honestly the rock show would prolly get me out there more than seeing them would. not that Im a huge rock fan, but the energy they put out will def be 10x's more than what u get from SugarHill Gang. Plus like you said, the ladies will be out in full force so that's always a plus.
I may be trippin but I dont know any other song from them other then "Rappers Delight". Im sure I've heard a few more but nuthin that really stands out. so for me to travel to a show just to hear one song it better be a damn good song! lol

sugarhill gang has one of the biggest songs in rap history. they are known all over the world as one of the first hip hop groups. i have many friends in the rap game who were doin it several years before them (crash crew, dj hollywood, dj yoda, daryl c) but they were the first to have a break out international mega hit with rappers delight. many would think of them as a one hit wonder, but when a legendary group like that comes to a semi small town like concord, its a big deal. if they impacted u like they impacted me, that would be a big deal to see them. they are the reason i got into rap, rappers delight was the first rap song i ever heard.

yeah that's what i was trying to explain last night, I'm not saying Sugar Hill Gang created Hip-Hop, and created Rap as a sub culture of Hip-Hop, BUT what I am saying is if it wasn't for that breakout song, maybe there were people before them, but their song tookoff first, it happens, welcome to the entertainment industry, but if it wasn't for that song taking off worldwide and helping to spread Hip-Hop to other areas and other races, I still say Hip-Hop would Not be where it is today. Think of their contribution to the advancement of the culture when it was in it's infant stages in the 70's and early 80's, never did I say they created it.
