The Sugarhill Gang was in Toronto last week and they surprised singer Q-Benjamin while she was playing Rapstar on XBOX and was performing their song! She was shocked lol respect the OGs! Search "Q-Benjamin Sugarhill Surprise" ! Its worth the watch :)
NOW this is what rap used to be about before all the materialism + genocide! This + many other original hard funky beats and raps is what RAISED me! It's in my soul, young folks today really have NO idea what it's really about! This is when neighborhoods all over every city in this country had various house+block parties at once! Hearing oldschool music like this REALLY brings a tear to my eye from the memories! PEACE to all the pioneers like: AfrikaBambaata,SugarHill,GrandMasterFlash,etc!
@MegaNaitsabes Get a clock and count the kick for 10 sec then multiply by 6... then double it ..sounds like 126 bpm or 63pm would work to. For more precision..get MixMeister BPM Analyzer is a free program you can use to determine the exact BPM (beats per minute) of any song
People getting too upset because they think we live in more enlightened times. They didn't set out to be offensive, this was hugely popular as were all the western TV shows they would have watched, and just try and look at yourself today and imagine what will be considered politically incorrect in 20 years time.
This isn't Sugar Hill Gangs original song. They sampled it, check the original, then get offended.
They merely (and ignorantly) copied the dress of the original song.
Them dressing as Natives is as offensive as Japanese dressing as "Black Face" (look it up, it's real). So no, it's not right, and you do have a right to be upset, even if it's just "fun" as stated earlier by someone.
@vaibanez17 Yes. They didn't say anything offensive. So yes. It's a celebratory song that puts people in a good mood. If he said BLACK POWER, then you'd get offensive because he's saying blacks. Now he's saying Apache you are still offended. It's in fun, and it's not to offend. It's feel good music. What did he say bad?
@CALICOTV301 Nobody said anything bad, it's the way they are dressed. It's ridiculous. They didn't wear this. They wore zarapes and bright colored clothing. This is the worst type of stereotype about Native Americans is that they all were shirtless, feather wearing people. Not even close. Go look at pictures of Geronimo and such.
I can see that it would be offensive. However, I was listening to this when it was first released and I don't think they are trying to make fun of Native Americans. They are just doing something with a Native American theme. White people weren't as conscious of how offensive racial stereotypes were. You younger folks wouldn't believe what was commercially acceptable back in the day. You probably couldn't watch 30 minutes of a 1955 television feed without seeing something shockingly offensive.
Incorrect description! That's about a far off as calling Stevie Wonder a white def person!
Sugar Hill Gang was not related to the "Seminoles" or any Indians at all. They are an African-American rap group form the late 70's. The feather head dress was just a costume they would wear for that song because of the lyrics.
@DeliriousIntentions "The feather head dress was just a costume they would wear for that song because of the lyrics." Was Blackface just a costume worn for the Minstrel shows because of the anti-African American material being performed?
My homecoming was a week ago. They played this song at homecoming, and my first thought was Fresh Prince of Bel air. So what did I do? I got a friend who remembered that scene from the show and we did EXACTLY what Will and Carlton did on stage.. Of course as the smaller one, I was the one who was thrown off stage (a couple friends caught me of course) And it was so damn fun :)
Hey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Tonto jump on it, Apache jump on it WoooooooooooooooooHo! Ho The 80's you're on, jump on, Lol we be dancing for hours, and don;t realized what time it was, And the rapper delight, , Planet Rock. Yeah!!!!!!!!
I love this song, and I love this group, but could you imagine what would happen if a bunch of white guys dressed like that and started making sterotypical remarks about Native Americans?
@haikugreen Um no it's not, you are. And it is in no way being racist to the apache people or any other type of race. You are one of those ignorant people who just look at the title and think it has some kind of racism. It's not, blah to you.
At least Sugar Hill Gang didn't sing about shooting people....they're all about just having a good time. It might be a little insensitive, but honestly, I'd rather hear this...which is fairly timeless and always seems to make people smile than something with a beat that is just going to be tossed to the side in 6 months.
This is extremely offensive and it shows how retarded the Sugar Hill Gang truly were, besides the racial slurs they are saying in the beginning, the Apaches never lived in Tipis, they lived in Hogans, plus the fat guy kept biting off other peoples shit. I am glad these guys are no longer around..
@LakotaNDN1984 Just having thicker skin than you do. If you don't want to be offended look yourself in your house and get rid of every piece of technology you have and don't communicate with the outside world at all. You could also learn to grow a thicker skin.
@kjchicago1 Because it is an American Indian minstrel show. If Native Americans took to the stage dressed like Ice Cube in the "Straight Outta Compton" video and swung around an AK-47 and a bucket of fried chicken, people would be righteously outraged. How is an Indian headdress and fake tomahawk and peace pipe any different?
@Kitten51181 : Yeah, I Have to Agree. When First Watching This, I Told My Cousin That They Give Native American Culture A Very, VERY Bad Name!!! LOL. They Didn't Mean Any Harm Though, Yet Some Whites Back In the Day Who Painted Their Faces Black May Thought It Was All About Fun Too!!
