Rapper's Delight

Big Bank Hank from the Sugarhill Gang died yesterday, of complications from cancer. He was only 57. Of course, the Sugarhill Gang is legendary for their 1979 hit, "Rapper's Delight".

Not a lot of modern hip-hop fans know Sylvia Robinson's name, but 30 years ago, she helped start the ball rolling to make hip-hop what it is today. She's been called the "Mother of Hip-Hop." And sadly, she passed away yesterday morning at age 75.
