"Rapper's Delight" by Sugar Hill Gang
O.K. I know it's sounds kind of cliche but I figured I need to get this
one over with. If I didn't mention this song song as a "Memorable Song" in Hip Hop history then I would catch an earful and by the same token I know I'm gonna catch grief about mentioning it first.
That being said, this record is probably not the first to feature a rapper on it but definitely the first true Hip Hop release by a rapper or a group.
A little known fact is that Big Bank Hank was once a manager for Grandmaster Caz a.k.a Casanova Fly. This is how he got the line "I'm the
C-A-S-A-N-O-V-A and the rest is F-L-Y" because Caz actually wrote that verse. Grandmaster Caz was never compensated for it.
The song was made relevant again by a cover performed by Def Squad( Erick Sermon, Redman, and Keith Murray)from their album "El Nino".
