5.0 out of 5 stars Classic "Old School" that started the rap movement, March 16, 1999
This review is from: The Sugar Hill Records Story { Various Artists } (Audio CD)
This box-set is an example of the classic "old school" that started the rap movement back in the early 80s. With 5 CDs of music, there's a lot to sift through. Each disc contains at least three or four essential tunes that clearly define why this music was so groundbreaking (and still is today). You've got all 14 minutes of "Rapper's Delight", two versions of "The Message", and a host of other notably catchy numbers. Even though Sugar Hill didn't invent the rap genre, they were the first to make it popular among the masses. The set also includes a booklet that contains several articles detailing the Sugar Hill story. For anyone who's into "old school" in the strictest sense of the word, then this box set is a must!

5.0 out of 5 stars A HISTORY LESSON IN ITSELF, January 24, 2007
you know what i hate? i hate that these young folk today do not have any respect for da TRUE SCHOOL. i remember watching that MAKING THE BAND when DA BAND was on there (what a friggin' joke!!!!!) and diddy told them to do RAPPER'S DELIGHT and none of them knew it. i thought that all of them should've been sent home right there.

young or old, get this!!!! no, it does not tell the whole story, but it will up you on where a lot of these "new artists" are getting their ideas from. any young cats that are reading this, respect da TRUE SCHOOL!!!! i thank you.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Real Deal, December 19, 2003
By 
Carnell (Newark, NJ United States) - See all my reviews
So many people have forgot about where Hip-Hop started and some of the greatest MC's such as Melly Mel. This album is most important piece of my Hip-Hop collection.
