Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

It's not quite the first rap record, or the best, but Rapper's Delight--15 glorious minutes of the bass line from Chic's "Good Times," with a New Jersey crew spieling goofy routines about Superman and bad food on top--is one king hell of a party-starter. After that, they could have filled the rest of the disc with crowd noise and gotten away with it, but the Sugarhill Gang had a bunch of other party-jam hits, notably the almost-as-indelible "Apache" and "8th Wonder." Those songs show up here too, along with some entertaining non-hits and "Showdown," their rap-off with the Furious Five. What they're saying isn't really the point; the point is to move the crowd, and they're still hip-hop's greatest entertainers. --Douglas Wolk

4.0 out of 5 stars Jump On This!!, July 13, 2005
Even without the classic Rappers Delight, I would have bought this this CD for Apache and 8th Wonder alone. Brings you back to a place and time when Hip-Hop was about the FUN instead of the GUN. To the misguided reviewer below "Super Pimp" - I for one DO get the point that you were just joking in order to get people upset. The only other alternative is that you really are as ridiculous as you sound. Peace 2 U 2.

4.0 out of 5 stars pretty good greatest hits collection, June 9, 2001
This review is from: Best of (Audio CD)
the reason this cd gets 4 stars instead of 5 is because I bought this cd thinking i was gonna get the full 15 minute version of rappers delight, which i didnt, so i was greatly disappointed in that. Other then that, this cd if filled with a bumch of feel good rap songs from back in the day. tracks 1 and 2 are the best in my opinion, but there arent really any BAD songs on the whole cd, seeing how it is a greatest hits cd. If your not a huge fan of sugarhill gang, just soneone looking for some good ald school rap, then go get sugarhill gangs first greatest hits cd, but if your a big sugarhill gnag fan, like me, then go pick up there first greatest hits cd and this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars dissin the Ol'school????, November 5, 2004
Of course the Album is great, it represents the beginning (even though I remember King Tim III preceeding it). Saying that Ol'School is crap because something that came out later is "better" or more sophisitcated is like saying the wright brothers' plane was a piece of crap because an F18 fighter would kick it's ass. Anyone who doesn't understand that will have a tough life.
