 | | The Sugarhill Gang never again topped the charts, though they had a few minor hits, such as "Apache", "Eighth Wonder", "Rapper's Reprise [Jam Jam]", and "Showdown" (with the Furious Five). |
 | | Also, Chic’s Nile Rodgers filed a lawsuit for copyright infringement over “Delight” (the first such of legal battles for rap, with many to come); it was settled out of court, leaving Rodgers with a hefty cut of all future royalties. |
 | | Many music industry people figured rap for a short-lived trend, and though they were wrong, the Sugarhill Gang stumbled while trying to carry the torch; despite several modest hits ("8th Wonder," "Apache") the trio faded quickly and was virtually gone by the mid-1980s, supplanted by Run-DMC and other “new school” acts. |
