Features | The Sugar Hill Gang scored the first and most popular Hip Hop single of all time: "Rappers Delight". "Rappers Delight" was released on Sugar Hill Records in 1979 and became one of the biggest hit records in music history, selling thousands of units daily in 1979 and with over 8 million sold singles the Sugar Hill Gang scored the biggest selling single of all time. This truly revolutionary release is stilling selling today and remains a timeless party anthem. This DVD captures the band along with Melle Mel in front of an audience performing their greatest hits and from the performance captured here at the Hip Hop Anniversary tour in Germany in 2008 it can be seen that the band and the genre is as relevant now as it ever was. |
