That ventriloquist wood dummy rapper is better than anything out on the radio right now, HAHA.  Part 2 around 1:20 mark

Cool piece of history though, generally positive opinion on hip hop at the time.  If only they knew several years it would spawn NWA  ;D

lol @ "very black and very urban and people are scared of that" :laugh:

Its crazy how rap music has evolved so much.

Amazing, ghostwriting has been in rap since the beginning, Big Bank Hank's lyrics on Rapper's Delight were written entirely by someone else if you didn't know.

Sugar Hill Gang were pretty much a manufactured group.  Regardless, Rappers Delight, Apache, and 8th Wonder are classics.
