I of course remember Rapper's Delight by Sugarhill Gang very well, I might have only been 4 years old when it was released but it still featured strongly in my teens alongside an eclectic mix including Beastie Boys, Run D.M.C, Cypress Hill, De La Soul and a Tribe Called Quest. I still have original cassette albums somewhere for many of them!

The deeper you go back from them is beyond my knowledge, but it's fascinating learning just how far the genre goes. Thank you for stirring up fond memories though, and educating me that little bit more.
