I would not consider it a foray into Hip Hop, it's more funk than anything else. Yes there is rapping on it and I think this was one of the first songs to get mainstream play with rapping.

Timmy84	But technically though, this lady could be regarded as hip-hop's FIRST LADY. She founded Sugar Hill Records after all.

Yeah. Ironically she was going to give this song to Al Green but he refused so she figured she record it herself. The rest is history. biggrin

Actually, The Sugarhill Gang's "Rapper's Delight" was on the pop stations in my area.
