When Chic started playing Good Times, rapper Fab Five Freddy and the members of the Sugarhill Gang Big Bank Hank Jackson, Mike Wright, and Master Gee OBrien, jumped up on stage and started freestyling with the band. A few weeks later Rodgers was on the dance floor of New York club Leviticus and heard the DJ play a song which opened with Bernard Edwardss bass line from Chics Good Times. Rodgers approached the DJ who said he was playing a record he had just bought that day in Harlem. The song turned out to be an early version of Rappers Delight, which also included a scratched version of the songs string section. Rodgers and Edwards immediately threatened legal action over copyright, which resulted in a settlement and their being credited as co writers. Rodgers admitted that he was originally upset with the song, but later declared it to be one of his favorite songs of all time and his favorite of all the tracks that sampled or in this instance interpolated Chic. He also stated As innovative and important as Good Times was, Rappers Delight was just as much, if not more so. A substantial portion of the early stanzas of the songs lyrics was borrowed by Jackson from Grandmaster Caz Curtis Fisher who had loaned his book to himthese include a namecheck for Casanova Fly, which was Cazs full stage name. According to Wonder Mike, he had heard the phrase hip hop from a cousin, leading to the opening line of Hip hop, hippie to the hippie, to the hip hip hop and you dont stop, whilst he described To the bang bang boogie, say up jump the boogie to the rhythm of the boogie, the beat as basically a spoken drum roll. I liked the percussive sound of the letter B. The line Now what you hear is not a test, Im rappin to the beat, was inspired by the introduction to The Outer Limits There is nothing wrong with your television set. Do not attempt to adjust the picture. Before the Good Times background starts, the intro to the recording is an interpolation of Here Comes That Sound Again by British studio group Love De Luxe, a dance hit in 1. According to Oliver Wang, author of the 2. Classic Material The Hip Hop Album Guide, recording artist Pillow Talk and studio owner Sylvia Robinson had trouble finding anyone willing to record a rap song. Most of the rappers who performed in clubs did not want to record, as many practitioners believed the style was for live performances only. It is said that Robinsons son heard Big Bank Hank in a pizza place. According to Master Gee, Hank auditioned for Robinson in front of the pizza parlour where he worked, whilst Gee himself auditioned in Robinsons car. A live band was used to record most of the backing track, including members of the group Positive Force Albert Pittman, Bernard Roland, Moncy Smith, and Bryan Horton. Chip Shearin claimed in a 2. When aged 1. 7, he was visiting a friend in New Jersey. The friend knew Robinson, who needed some musicians for various recordings, including Rappers Delight. Shearins job on the song was to play the bass for 1. He was paid 7. 0 but later went on to perform with Sugarhill Gang in concert. Shearin described the session this way The drummer and I were sweating bullets because thats a long time. And this was in the days before samplers and drum machines, when real humans had to play things. Sylvia said, Ive got these kids who are going to talk real fast over it thats the best way I can describe it. Wang said Theres this idea that hip hop has to have street credibility, yet the first big hip hop song was an inauthentic fabrication. Its not like the guys involved were the real hip hop icons of the era, like Grandmaster Flash or Lovebug Starski. Where Are They Now LARadio.
