[@slikdarelic]

SugarHill Gang: i want my name back GrandMaster CAZ: i want my rhyme back

[@tanyabrinkley9268]

WONER MIKE AND MASTER GEE WROTE THEY OWN LYRICS, NOT CAZ, I DON'T THINK CAZ IS BEING HONEST, BIG HANK DID ASK CAN HE USE THE LYRICS, LOOK BACK AT THE OLD VIDEO WHEN HANK WAS ALIVE. HE ASKED CAZ PERMISSION TO USE THE LYRICS, I DON'T LISTEN TO ANYTHING THAT CAZ SAY HE'S TWISTING THE STORY. PLAYING VICTIM PLEASE

[@derrickholmes4448]

I hope these brothers get what they deserve because they did the damn thing

[@vincentwilliams2089]

Rest in power big Bank Hank

[@itunedyou]

Truth be told! Big Bank Hank can rest in peace but the fact that he stole the rhymes for Rappers Delight from Grandmaster Caz and not even a thank you IS THE ALL TIME LOW IN RAP HISTORY!!!

Excellent interview and group

[@prelexia1]

no doubt these guys are pioneers. rap on my soul bothers

[@derrickholmes2025]

Thanks for this interview.

[@vulcanman64]

First, I hate modern rap. I do. I don’t believe it was ever intended to be vulgar or violent. But...... I love these guys. These two men are the reason rap music became popular. I only wish it was as clean and talent filled as it was when it exploded on the scene as it was with rappers delight. Mad respect for wonder mike and master gee. Rip big Bank Hank.

I really hope Guy gets what he deserves. I worked for him for several years.

[@sonjalimbrick4576]

Will y’all come to Denver one more again? I miss the sequence but I know they are not together but I felt like the old hip hop artist for our last time…

[@derrickholmes2025]

It's not right what happened to these cool guys. They made rap Big.

[@etchosts8162]

Real muthafukkin OG’s!!!!!

[@kevinlawrence6984]

i own the documentary "i want my name back". The story is very compelling. Sylvia and Joe Robinson, the owners of the now defunct Sugar Hill Records knew how to discover talent, however they were very poor business people. The artist were paid very little for their efforts and they weren't taken seriously at all. Not only did the Robinson's loose Sugar Hill Records they also lost a previous record company called All Platinum Records.

[@CeeCee-j9w]

They have a show on Bravo that says differently. You see them operating Sugar Hill Records. Are you saying that's false?

[@graceoverdarkness8942]

So is Guy O Brien the Original Mastergee? Did he write the song im the Master G 2 the double E? Its a controversial topic. I heard it was a 8 year old that wrote it?

[@carolynhowell9768]

@@graceoverdarkness8942 stip lying a 8 year old did not write this.

[@tanyabrinkley9268]

​@@graceoverdarkness8942. NO MASTER GEE AND WONDER MIKE DID THEY OWN RAP, HANK DIDN'T STEAL IT HE ASKED CAZ CAN HE USE IT, NOW THAT HANK IS GONE PEOPLE ARE PUTTING THEY OWN TWIST TO THE STORY, I REALLY DON'T CARE ANYTHING ABOUT THE SYLVIA CHICK, SHE DIDN'T PAY THESE GUYS THEY FAIR SHARE, BUT PASSED IT ON TO THEIR SONS, IT'S JUST SHAMEFUL WHAT PEOPLE DO FOR MONEY. THE SUGAR HILL GANG#1 PIONEER ARTIST TO HAVE IT PUT ON WAX.

He's actually been inside my house while selling magazines. He autographed my Rapper's Delight record and we talked for about half an hour about his music career.

[@sddunlop]

Damn both of them are fine. Master Her is fit and gorgeous.

[@krispybeats6615]

Legends !

[@djswrv942]

wonder mike bit them bars tho

[@miriamwrightnesbitt5412]

yup and Hank stole his whole verse from Grandmaster Caz, didn't even bother to change the names, they were wannabees

[@DeeNice681]

Master Gee could actually rap and freestyle!

All well & good,but the REAL originators are GRANDMASTER FLASH & THE FURIOUS FIVE;who these two gentlemen are indebted to.

[@KennethDAstonJr]

Lol naw Cool Herc, is the originator

"Kids and parents KNOW the song" NOT ANYMORE :

[@FabriGodin-er9oe]

0:20 I've never heard of those people 😂

[@sirjcurry2182]

It's unfortunate what happened to Wonder and Mike. They are both great gentlemen and very nice. They are also very creative and deserve the best in life. Sylvia and Big Joe also were great at business and creativity. Joe was the business mind and Sylvia was the creative genius. They identified and got many other legends out there. Years later Sylvia did give some money to certain artists. My dad, was never ripped off because he knew the business and still tries to help. \

[@koolgrowl]

You mean Wonder Mike and Master Gee?

Sugar hill sugar hill. And you know that

[@jamesnoce1686]

forget rap master G a door to door sales legend millionaire

[@sirjcurry2182]

Rap legends get little respect because of several factors: a) Willie Lynch Syndrome. b) Record companies, etc do not want old school black artists to get respect because then the industry can't be kidnapped by outsiders who only seek to extract wealth.

[@TheBLACKMQQN]

Black people as a whole get little respect because they are still using terms such as Willie Lynch syndrome. 🙄 Learn the game go on offense and stop playing defense.

[@sirjcurry2182]

@@TheBLACKMQQN You aren't really comprehending the terms I posted. So sorry. Have a great day, though.

[@sirjcurry2182]

@@TheBLACKMQQN The use of a term is an untenable excuse for why blacks get no respect. Have you ever studied Willie Lynch Syndrome, Maat, Maafa, History of Racism, Scramble For Africa, Manifest Destiny, Dr Clarke, Dr Ben or are you pontificating and postulating only?

the guy @ 23 seconds looks like ritchie from the last dragon

[@omenakev1077]

I’d say in my opinion the delight music thingy quietly more better than other Hip hop/rap that I still hate 100% I.E. 80s, 90s, 2000s and todays cheesy rap!

[@wes209]

Disco rap

[@magburner]

It was rap music, they sampled the music of the day, just as all rap and hip hop music does.

[@gregc7699]

They stole the verses from Caz

[@B.Love2]

The group was cursed from what they did to Caz. Could’ve put em on but they played his ass. Now whom’s got the last laugh? U want ur name back?

[@granthouse1046]

Sylvia Robinson rob all her artist

[@jameslemmons9737]

🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

[@wojciechjakubowski6818]

they were just picked up from the street by music producers (literally), it could have been anybody, their way was soooo easy in comparison to real big names i.e. Grandmaster Flash and Furious 5, Kurtis Blow, Cold Crash Brothers, Grandmaster Caz, Afrika Bambaataa and Zulu Nation, DJ Kool Herc etc... and at least they had real talent, not like these guys in video, they should be more humble and pay respects to real rappers of their times

[@D_in_DC]

You have no idea what you're talking about. There are several backstories behind the how Rappers Delight came about. There are people who contributed to hip=hop and rap in ways you can't imaging, and they never got public credit. But if you ask people who were there, they'll tell you.

[@lacheinc]

be humble? Youre a clown. They literally created the first RAP SONG paving the way for the artists youve mentioned. They wouldnt have had the platform to turn the underground hip hop culture into something bigger without their contributions

[@modifiedcontent]

These guys created nothing. They were random kids off the street. Sylvia Robinson brought them together and developed the entire concept. The backing track was Sugar Hill Records house band, playing a Chic instrumental. These guys didnt even write most of their raps. What have the done since that one record? Nothing.
