The Sugarhill Gang

The Sugarhill Gang was important in the creation of rap. Their hit Rapper's Delight is considered the first ever rap song. This led to such artists as Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five and other old skool acts during the spinoff from funk. The Sugarhill Gang has been previously considered for the Hall of Fame but not chosen.
