		In the summer of 1979, rap began to break through the mainstream barrier when Michael "Wonder Mike" Wright, Guy "Master Gee" O'Brien, and Henry "Big Bank Hank" Jackson, better known as the Sugarhill Gang, unleashed "Rapper's Delight" on an unsuspecting public.
		Until then rap was primarily an art form of the moment in which DJs and MCs became ghetto celebrities by selling homemade mix tapes and bootleg blend tapes of live shows.

		The group's live scenes in Wild Style — including a smoothly choreographed basketball-court “battle” with their arch rival, the Fantastic 5 (whose DJ was a young prodigy named Grand Wizard Theodore) — provide a prime taste of the standard by which all hip-hop crews were later judged.
		Legend has it that when Sugar Hill label head Sylvia Robinson needed a third member for the new rap group, she randomly walked into a pizza joint and found ex-bouncer — and Cold Crush manager — Big Bank Hank rhyming along with one of Caz's early practice tapes.
		“[Hank] said, ‘Yeah, I'm down,’ and then came to me like, ‘Yo, they want to make a record.’ And I said, ‘Yeah, well, go ahead, man. What choo need?’ Threw my [rhyme] book on the table, you know, 'cause I figure, if you get put on, you put us on.

	The Sugarhill Gang - Biography - AOL Music
		Though 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.

		For much of the world, however, it represented the first exposure to the burgeoning style, consisting of stripped-down backbeats, sampled music clips, and half-spoken/half-sung rhymed vocals from performers known as MCs.
		And a fine introduction it was--over the eminently danceable bass line from Chic's "Good Times," rappers Wonder Mike, Master Gee, and Big Bank Hank laid down a rotating round of infectious, witty, quick-tongued raps.
		Rhino's best-of compilation brings together 10 additional tracks by the Sugarhill Gang, including the hits "8th Wonder" and "Apache." Like the breakthrough single, these tunes borrowed instrumental lines from popular songs and featured ebullient, call-and-response, party-minded raps, introducing a host of catch phrases and motifs that would become common currency for the next several decades.
