"The Message" is the first HipHop song to criticize reality. Later, it was sampled by different people, including Diddy, etc. It has been imitated and never surpassed. "The Message" is considered a landmark work in black rap, and for the first time introduced debate on acute social issues into rap music. At that time, no one realized that rap music would dominate the music scene more than a decade later and have a profound impact on contemporary music. The Message opens the door to a whole new way of expression. On the other hand, it gives people the hope and possibility of making music at a low cost: a disc player and a few vinyl records are the basic configuration for playing rap music. So as long as you're a guy with something to say and can find a DJ who can spin a turntable, then you can play rap music.

This song was a commercial success at the time and climbed to the fourth position on the Billboard R&B chart. However, because the song was born in a complicated background, it did not have any impact on the Flash team. Bring considerable income. The members of Flash and the Furious Five finally got their due: they reunited and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, becoming the first HipHop group to hold the honor.

"Rapper's Delight", a verse-like song performed by three members of the Sugarhill Gang, aroused the audience's screams. The song became a hit in the United States and entered the Billboard magazine's pop music list in one fell swoop. No. 36 on the list. Although it was not the first single to contain rap, it is considered the first full-length rap song to introduce HipHop to other audiences in the United States and around the world. The song was ranked No. 251 on Rolling Stone magazine's "500 Greatest Songs of All Time". It is also included in the list of the 100 most important American musical works of the 20th century, and was preserved in the National Recording Registry by the Library of Congress in 2011.
