I cannot believe that this song is just over 30 years old. Back in 1979, Sugarhill Gang released their famous “Rapper’s Delight.” The Gang started out in Jersey back in ’75 and are technically still an active group; however, they have not had their own single since 1985. In 2009, they were featured on Bob Sinclair’s “Lala Song.” 30 years older and they are still more ballin’ than I’ll ever be.

Well here it is for you. And I’m not talking that radio edit weak sauce. I’m talking all 15 minutes of glorious rhyming and story telling.
