Tuesday / Usually when you hear about the Sugarhill Gang, you think of “Rapper’s Delight”, which played a role in the growth and recognition of hip-hop music. But my favorite tracks from this group are 1979′s “Passion Play” and “Bad News”. These songs were beautifully arranged with guitar riffs, a sick string layer, bass lines that will take you for a walk around the block, and topped of with some nice harmonies smoothing out the grooves. Enjoy…
