The Afro-American urban youth culture based on rap music, which is called Hip-hop originated in the predominantly African American economically depressed South Bronx section of New York City in the late 1970s. Since its introduction as a genre of music, a great many artists have hopped on it.
Interestingly, when Sugarhill Gang’s Rapper’s Delight came out 40 years ago, it was ignored by numerous tastemakers as a gimmicky track just to make money. Nonetheless, after a short time, the Hip-hop genre moved like fierce blaze, and in the long run topping at number 36 in 1980, and at number three on the UK Singles Chart.
