Question

Until 1979 hip-hop music re­mained primarily a local phenom­enon. The first indication of the genre’s broader commercial poten­tial was the 12-inch dance single by a crew based in Har­lem. This record popularized the use of the term “rapper” as an equivalent for MC, and helped to establish their own record label -- a black-owned in­dependent label based in New Jersey -- as the predominant institutional force in rap music during the early 1980s. Three rappers recited a rapid-fire succession of rhymes, typical of the performances of MCs at hip-hop dances. The name of this record was: a. "1 Million Bottlebags" by Public Enemy b. “Rapper’s Delight” by the Sugarhill Gang c. "The Message" by Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five d. "California Love" by Tupac Shakur (with Dr. Dre and Roger Troutman)

"Rapper's Delight" is a single released in 1979 by The Sugarhill Gang, an American hip hop trio.
