In this clip, Melle Mel detailed why Sugar Hill Gang's "Rapper's Delight" was considered the worst hip-hop song among rappers at the time but was surprisingly a smash hit with the public. He talked about how his group began recording in the studio after "Rapper's Delight" to get in on the new lane that record carved out for hip-hop artists.
