Long before the bastardisation of hip-hop a la 50c, Eminem and Jay-Z to name a few there was The Sugarhill Gang. The Gang were not concerned with larking on about misogynistic/homophobic mind numbing shit(50c's claim to fame), and tended to focus their attention on making some sweet sounding funk influenced hip-hop jams. Their single 'Rappers Delight' is arguably the first hip-hop single/record ever released. It just so happens that they are playing Electric Picnic this year - Sugarhill Gang - Greatest Hits
