The Impact of Sugarhill Delight - Homeisode 47

WEBVTT

00:00:00.680 --> 00:00:02.919
Yo, what's good? It's your boy Quincy Murdock

00:00:02.919 --> 00:00:05.299
with another episode of Not Just Music Podcast

00:00:05.299 --> 00:00:13.919
where we keep it real and honest always. I want

00:00:13.919 --> 00:00:15.859
to talk about some music today. I want to talk

00:00:15.859 --> 00:00:18.859
about some music. Not Just Music Podcast, as

00:00:18.859 --> 00:00:23.859
it sounds, we talk way more than just music.

00:00:24.039 --> 00:00:26.500
You know, we talk about culture, we talk about

00:00:26.500 --> 00:00:28.539
society, we talk about problems, we just talk

00:00:28.539 --> 00:00:33.649
about real life. But me and DeJuan actually met

00:00:33.649 --> 00:00:37.030
on the music tip. That's the foundation. The

00:00:37.030 --> 00:00:40.229
music was what brought me and my co -hosts together.

00:00:40.350 --> 00:00:43.009
So from time and time again, we like to bring

00:00:43.009 --> 00:00:46.750
up music topics and Black history in those music

00:00:46.750 --> 00:00:50.509
topics. So as we know, music today, specifically

00:00:50.509 --> 00:00:54.909
hip hop, R &B too, you know, all across the board.

00:00:55.210 --> 00:00:59.240
Women are really taking over. The music, the

00:00:59.240 --> 00:01:02.020
culture. Every time you look in the top of the

00:01:02.020 --> 00:01:04.680
charts, it's a female. They've gained their rights,

00:01:04.700 --> 00:01:06.579
rightfully so. You know what I'm saying? The

00:01:06.579 --> 00:01:09.859
music game. Before it was Nicki Minaj, before

00:01:09.859 --> 00:01:13.340
it was the Cardi B's, before it was the SZA's,

00:01:13.340 --> 00:01:16.959
it was the Sugar Heels gang. Rapper's Delight.

00:01:18.480 --> 00:01:21.939
Okay. So the Sugar Heels gang, Rapper's Delight,

00:01:22.040 --> 00:01:25.780
actually became the first commercially successful

00:01:25.780 --> 00:01:31.819
rap record. OK, for my hip hop fans, Billboard

00:01:31.819 --> 00:01:37.019
has called Sylvia Robertson hip hop's first godmother.

00:01:37.299 --> 00:01:40.599
But she still never seems to get the credit she

00:01:40.599 --> 00:01:44.920
deserves for cultivating the genre of rap. In

00:01:44.920 --> 00:01:48.599
the summer of 1979, Robertson conceived and produced

00:01:48.599 --> 00:01:52.459
the single Rapper's Delight. This took a culture

00:01:52.459 --> 00:01:55.709
of music. that thrived on the streets and helped

00:01:55.709 --> 00:01:58.730
to foster it into an art form that was suddenly

00:01:58.730 --> 00:02:04.269
commercially that means worldwide globally that's

00:02:04.269 --> 00:02:10.009
big form that was suddenly commercially valuable

00:02:10.009 --> 00:02:12.990
the song became the first rap single to dominate

00:02:12.990 --> 00:02:16.770
the radio and the charts hitting number 36 on

00:02:16.770 --> 00:02:21.719
billboards hot 100. and becoming the first rap

00:02:21.719 --> 00:02:26.560
record to sell over 1 million records. What's

00:02:26.560 --> 00:02:28.580
going on? It's your boy, DeJuan Barino from Not

00:03:24.949 --> 00:03:33.469
Peace. That's big because hip -hop at first wasn't

00:03:33.469 --> 00:03:38.129
acknowledged. Hip -hop wasn't popular at first

00:03:38.129 --> 00:03:42.150
you gotta realize people love r &b people love

00:03:42.150 --> 00:03:46.650
soul soul music people are against rap you know

00:03:46.650 --> 00:03:50.469
people are against rap and then add along a female

00:03:50.469 --> 00:03:55.270
and a business like music or hip -hop that really

00:03:55.270 --> 00:03:59.870
was not a turn on back in the days you know and

00:03:59.870 --> 00:04:03.189
leading up to now women have to fight for their

00:04:03.189 --> 00:04:06.490
rights Men have to fight black men, too, but

00:04:06.490 --> 00:04:09.610
particularly them black women had to always fight

00:04:09.610 --> 00:04:12.669
harder to get that spot. So this is important

00:04:12.669 --> 00:04:15.349
that, you know, she broke those boundaries and

00:04:15.349 --> 00:04:20.269
those standards and gave Nicki Minaj's and Remy

00:04:20.269 --> 00:04:24.769
Ma's and, you know, Cardi B's scissors and all

00:04:24.769 --> 00:04:31.730
these lotto. Sexy Red gave these women platforms.

00:04:33.019 --> 00:04:37.019
And the opportunity to put themselves out there

00:04:37.019 --> 00:04:39.240
and to be acknowledged and to do what they love

00:04:39.240 --> 00:04:41.480
and to make money from this stuff. Like they

00:04:41.480 --> 00:04:44.600
said, it was the first album to sell over a million

00:04:44.600 --> 00:04:48.920
records, like hip hop album or record to sell

00:04:48.920 --> 00:04:51.959
over that. So that's huge. That's breaking boundaries.

00:04:52.160 --> 00:04:54.899
That's breaking standards. And it's always good

00:04:54.899 --> 00:04:58.399
to acknowledge the ones that came before us that

00:04:58.399 --> 00:05:02.220
broke those boundaries down. Because if it wasn't

00:05:02.220 --> 00:05:05.519
for them crawling, we wouldn't be able to walk

00:05:05.519 --> 00:05:08.439
right now. Shout out to the women out there that's

00:05:08.439 --> 00:05:10.540
doing some great things, particularly shout out

00:05:10.540 --> 00:05:13.139
to my black women out there. That black power

00:05:13.139 --> 00:05:17.019
is doing some amazing things, breaking history.

00:05:17.899 --> 00:05:20.800
Shout out to SZA. She's always breaking boundaries.

00:05:20.920 --> 00:05:24.980
I love SZA. Personally, that's one of my favorite

00:05:24.980 --> 00:05:27.139
artists because she's doing her thing from the

00:05:27.139 --> 00:05:29.500
music to the movies. That's what it's about.

00:05:30.500 --> 00:05:32.759
It's about being versatile and it's about being

00:05:32.759 --> 00:05:35.939
successful at just more than one thing. So I

00:05:35.939 --> 00:05:40.220
think we took what, you know, Sylvia Robinson

00:05:40.220 --> 00:05:45.519
did and actually people have, you know, did more

00:05:45.519 --> 00:05:48.240
with that. It's like you let us in the door.

00:05:48.339 --> 00:05:50.160
Now we're going to elaborate. Now we're going

00:05:50.160 --> 00:05:52.579
to jump on other things. OK, I can act, too.

00:05:53.120 --> 00:05:56.800
I can be a podcaster, too. I can rap. Rap is

00:05:56.800 --> 00:05:58.620
just the foundation. That's where it starts.

00:05:59.980 --> 00:06:02.420
It's more tours. And that's what I love about

00:06:02.420 --> 00:06:05.000
black people, man. You let us in the door, we're

00:06:05.000 --> 00:06:06.819
going to create other avenues for ourselves.

00:06:07.279 --> 00:06:10.220
And I'm one in particular. I'm a man of many

00:06:10.220 --> 00:06:13.819
traits. So yeah, this is just another episode,

00:06:14.199 --> 00:06:17.500
Black History. For all my hip hop fans, the hippie

00:06:17.500 --> 00:06:21.060
to the hip hip, hobby, you don't stop. Hope y

00:06:21.060 --> 00:06:24.579
'all enjoyed this episode. It's your boy Quincy

00:06:24.579 --> 00:06:27.980
Murdock. Not Just Music Podcast. Peace.
