Hip-hop heroes the Sugarhill Gang helped celebrate Conan OBriens return to New York City with a performance of Rappers Delight on ConanMonday.
On the stage of the legendary Apollo Theater, original members Michael Wonder Mike Wright and Guy Master Gee OBrien cruised through portions of their original verses with breathless ease (the group, reasonably, did not perform the full version of the song, with Wonder Mike unfortunately nixing the Food just aint no good verse).
Meanwhile, new member Henry Hen Dogg Williams in for late co-founder Henry Big Bank Hank Jackson sauntered through the Apollo aisles and delivered Big Bank Hanks bars with a few cheeky tweaks, like, You see Im five-foot-nine, its my time to shine, and I dress to a T/ Yeah, I got more clothes than Puff Daddy and I dress so viciously.
Conanwill spend the rest of the week at the Apollo with guests Louis C.K., Ryan Reynolds, Tracy Morgan and more.
