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.

Hip hop hippedety to the hop.

 

[Swaye]

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.
