Intrigue

Thirty years after recording "Rapper's Delight," Master Gee & Wonder Mike come back to reclaim their identities and rightful place in Hip Hop history.

Highlighting the rise, fall and rise again of original members of The Sugarhill Gang, Wonder Mike (Michael Wright) and Master Gee (Guy O'Brien). The Sugarhill Gang recorded the first ever platinum rap album and rap song and are credited with introducing hip hop to the world more than thirty years ago. We follow The Sugarhill Gang through its chance beginnings in New Jersey, it's rise to fame, and the subsequent struggles of the real Wonder Mike and Master Gee as they try to create new music and battle with their label and an indifferent legal system which stripped them of their identities and rightful legacies.—Anonymous

Whatever happened to the Sugarhill Gang? This is a thirty year story of the struggles of Wonder Mike and Master Gee, the commercial pioneers of Hip Hop. It is a battle to get their names back from illegal trademarks and to reclaim their legacy. In Roger Paradiso's documentary we learn of identity theft and other larcenous acts. But Michael Wright and Guy O'Brien keep fighting against all odds to get their names back and to continue to perform. It's an unusual and powerful story told in a hard and straight forward style by Paradiso.—Anonymous
