Rap Battle 80's Bracket Round 1: Public Enemy (2) vs Sugarhill Gang (15)

dnc

Sugarhill is responsible for one of the most iconic songs in the hip hop canon.

Don't believe the hype?

Hondo thinks Public Enemy is the most overrated rap group of all time, so I'd expect them to roll.

You can usually count on Hondo for such sensible takes, too.

It's a mystery.

I just voted with Hondo. FML.

To defend my obviously terrible take I'd just like to say that this was more a vote against Flavor Flav than for Sugarhill. Also, fuck off.

Rappers Delight was released in 1979. Did they do anything good after that?
