Spent hours and hours playing the 7" vinyl of Rappers Delight and working out and writing down the lyrics.
Can still recite it in its entirety.
RIP Hank

Probably one of the most controversial figures in hip hop history.
The group was put together by Sylvia Robinson on a shoestring, purely to sell the idea of hip hop to the world. The guys weren't part of the group before turning up at the studio. It's about as authentic as S Club 7. Hank (working the week before the recording in a pizza shop) was later accused of stealing his rap in the song from a different MC in Harlem (who controversially received no credit). That rapper was known as Grandmaster Caz ...or Casanova Fly
"Check it out, I'm the C-A-S-AN to the O-V-A and the rest is F-L-Y"
It wasn't the first hip hop record, it led to problems with Nile Rodgers and the British group that the sample at the start was taken from and it was about as real as Game of Thrones.
It was a blooming good and important record, though. Fifteen minutes of utter brilliance.
