The Sugarhill Gang is an American hip hop and funk group, known mostly for their biggest hit, "Rapper's Delight", the first hip hop single created, and to become a Top 40 hit. The song uses the instrumental track from "Good Times" by Chic as its foundation.
The members, all from Englewood, NJ, called themselves Wonder Mike, Big Bank Hank, and Master Gee. They were assembled into a group by producer Sylvia Robinson who also founded Sugar Hill Records along with her husband, record mogul Joe Robinson. "Rapper's Delight" was a #36 hit on the US pop chart and a #4 hit on the US R&B chart in 1979. Many claim that "Rapper's Delight" is the first hip hop single ever, however others argue that it was actually preceded by "King Tim III (Personality Jock)" by the Fatback Band which at the time was considered to be under the funk genre. The Sugarhill Gang's place in music history seems secure as the first hip hop group to have a gold single.
"Rapper's Delight" used a track cut from a Sugar Hill house band called Positive Force. The track was simply a cover of Chic's "Good Times." It became a worldwide hit, reportedly selling more than eight million copies[citation needed]. For some time, the trio developed a poor reputation within certain social circles: The fact that they were essentially amateurs assembled by Sugar Hill Records upset many hip-hop pioneers who had been paying dues in the street party circuit. Big Bank Hank's verses were lyrics actually written by Grandmaster Caz. However despite the success, Caz did not receive any royalties for his contribution[1]. Chics Nile Rodgers filed a lawsuit for copyright infringement over Rapper's Delight (the first of many such legal battles for rap); it was settled out of court, leaving Rodgers with a large cut of all future royalties. Despite the embarrassment, the group endured.

The Sugarhill Gang sono un gruppo hip hop statunitense, conosciuto dai più per la hit Rapper's Delight, ovvero il primo pezzo hip hop a giungere nella Top 40 delle classifiche statunitensi. La traccia usa la linea di basso di Good Times degli CHIC.
I membri del trio, tutti di New York, si fanno chiamare Wonder Mike, Big Bank Hank, e Master Gee. Furono riuniti sotto il gruppo Sugarhill Gang dalla produttrice discografica Sylvia Robinson, fondatrice dell'etichetta Sugar Hill Records. La Robinson convocò Master Gee, Big Bank Hank e Wonder Mike, che registrarono Rappers Delight, presto salita in alto in tutte le classifiche vendendo più di 8 milioni di copie. Fu la prima, grande hit rap della storia, anche se non fu il primo brano conosciuto, preceduto da King Tim III della Fatback Band. Il termine "rap" è anche reclamato come derivato proprio dal titolo di Rapper's Delight. L'hip hop ha inizio proprio in quel periodo ed inizia a conquistare le charts. I discografici videro l'hip hop come una moda destinata a sparire presto, ma la Sugarhill viene scortata e supportata da decine di rappers che sulla sua falsariga riscossero anch'essi successo. L'hip hop prese definitivamente piede negli anni 1980, con la Old school che spadroneggiò nelle strade e conquistò il pubblico statunitense. La Sugarhill Gang passò gradualmente il testimone, eclissandosi dalla scena e godendo del titolo di pioniere che ancora oggi gli si attribuisce.
