"Rapper's Delight" was one of the first-ever rap songs, introducing a whole new genre to music lovers all over the world. The beloved track was released on Sept. 16, 1979, and is often credited as the song that pushed hip-hop music from underground New York block parties into the mainstream.
In addition to achieving commercial success on the charts, the song was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame for its historical significance. The song has cemented itself in pop culture, featuring prominently in film and television, including The Wedding Singer.
"When I was seven, I saw the Beatles’ film, A Hard Day’s Night, with all the screaming girls. When 'Rapper’s Delight' hit, there was a lot of hysteria," explained rapper and songwriter Michael ‘Wonder Mike’ Wright. "We were in a record shop and the manager had to ferry us out through the back. I remember thinking: 'Man, this is just like A Hard Day’s Night.'"
