Me Rapping (Cover) "Rapper's Delight" by The Sugarhill Gang

NOTE: I do NOT own this song, ALL rights go to The Sugarhill Gang and Sugarhill Records. :)

I have been working on this one for quite some time, I original started learning it at about 14yrs, and then stopped working on it and then picked it up again 3months ago. :) There are a couple mistakes here and there but keep in mind this was done live in one take. :) Which was the way I wanted to do it, I figured it would be the most fun! OH and the best part!!! A girl enjoyed it so much (she had her BF w/ her btw), she came up to me, hugged me and INSISTED she buy me a drink. It was like getting paid for singing for the first time!!! lol It was awesome!!! :)

God Bless ~Amy

@Jon43910 Hey! Glad you dropped by! The best way to learn to do it is to listen to the song and sing along w/ it and find a karaoke track of it online (singsnap.com it awesome, but not all of their tracks are free, some is for payed subscriptions only), and practice, practice, practice. :) That's how I learned it, it took me a while, but I listened to it prolly 2-3 times a day 4-5 times a week for a couple months before I had it fully memorized, their's a LOT of words in there! lol

This just goes to show your versatility girl! It also shows how much greater you sound with a more balanced backing. You are a star, Amy!

@geoff1945 Thanks Geoff!!! :D:D:D I know my set-up at home sucks buckets atm, but in time, I will be getting new equipment. :) And I am going to be sitting down soon and really working on some of my own songs, I have written hundreds, and after trying to get a band together and it not working, EVER, period, I realized I am meant to go it alone, at least for now, which is fine, I got some recording equipment, I just need to use it. lol So I am excited for that! It WILL take a while though.
