Reviews & Discussion
This album includes one of the all-time classics of hip-hop: "Rapper's Delight" - a disco/funk flavored party track, which is also known as the first commercially successful mainstream hip-hop single. The album contains some disco/funk/r&b-tracks, and then some early hip-hop. Although nothing as spectacular the hit single, still an allround record for good times. "Sugarhill groove" has been sampled by the Beastie Boys.
