The Sugarhill Gang was the first hip hop band to make a single (Rappers Delight) that made it on the Top 40s list in 1979. This band was a "one hit wonder" because not one of their other songs ever made it to the Top 40. This song was way before my time, but I listened to it this morning - all 15 minutes of it - and my favorite line has to be: "I don't mean to brag - I don't mean to boast... but we like hot butter on our breakfast toast." These are the life-changing lyrics I look for in a rap song :)
