SUGARHILL GANG ☃ Rapper’s Delight 【music video】

Reportedly it became the first hip-hop single to go diamond (5 million copies), but it should be noted that Sugarhill was one of many small independent labels that were not willing to let outside accountants go through their books; thus, it has never been certified by the RIAA. In 1980 the song was the anchor of the group’s first album The Sugarhill Gang.
