* SeinfeldIsUnfunny: "Rapper's Delight" is often cited as HipHop's BreakthroughHit, being the first song in the genre to achieve international mainstream attention. Its hedonistic subject matter would be particularly influential, with its bragging about material wealth, wild partying, and sexual prowess becoming hallmarks of the genre. However, while "Rapper's Delight" wasn't shockingly provocative even for its time (with its controversial nature being largely the result of its black roots), party songs in hip-hop would get exponentially raunchier over the years, forming the "dirty rap" subgenre and attracting an obscenity lawsuit by 1990. Consequently, the Sugarhill Gang's hit feels far tamer and even cliché to modern audiences.

* CoveredUp: These days, "Apache" seems to be best-known as the basis for the Sugarhill Gang song, when it actually has a long history. It was first recorded by the UK {{Instrumental}} group The Shadows in 1960, then a version by Danish guitarist Jørgen Ingmann became a big hit in America later the same year, but it was the 1974 cover by The Incredible Bongo Band that became a favorite source of HipHop samples, and the Gang's version was based on the Bongo Band's.
