Scottie Pete Gang - Rapper’s De Feet b/w Rapper’s De Feet

Waxidermy hip hop section is just so unfuckwittable.

Wow, I’ve heard a LOT of takeoffs on “rappers delight” (and there must be hundreds out there) but this has to be the worst. However, not the worst record I’ve ever heard on the quality label!!!

“WORST”?!?!?

THIS IS THE ILL RARE BOSSA EVIL FIRE NUGGET CANADIAN RAP RARITY. WHEN YOU DISS SCOTTIE PETE YOU DISS YOUR MOM.

Plus, Quality has a lot of awesome 45s. Especially by bands from Edmonton.

I just found this record yesterday in halifax. i’m actually suprised that even tho it sounds pretty bad, that someone in canada put out a rap record so early in the game. (1980) …is this possibly the first canadian rap record ever released on a major label???

The Scottie Pete Gang revealed…

Scott Harris spent fifteen years as a radio broadcaster. For ten of those years (1977-1987), he held down the 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. slot on Hamilton, Ontario’s Top 40 rock station CKOC. While there, Scott released three successful comedy albums… Rapper’s Delight, Beach Bum and Low Budget Breakdance.

Comedy yes, early hip-hop no.

Diggin, I actually started a thread on soulstrut.com asking if that was the first “rap” record from Canada (because, yes, that is early). Fortunately it’s not, but there weren’t many rap releases in Canada prior to 1980. I guess there were some indies in Toronto making moves.

This was just two DJ’s at CKOC in my hometown of Hamilton, Ontario having a good time spoofing a current hit. They weren’t trying to prove anything…mind you they did a better job with their follow up single “Beach Bum” also a comedy hit, however it was not a spoof this time, it was an original Scottie Pete Gang record, also on the Quality label. If there is anybody out there with either of these masterpieces, I would love to get a hold of them. Thanx!

I don’t know if anyone will see this or not, but if you want to know why we recorded “Rappers De Feet” here it is. The Sugar Hill Gang was sued by the band “Chic” for sampling one of their songs for Rappers Delight (I think it was we are family). Pete and I thought It would be funny to steal the same music track, make a parody version of the song and see if we could get Chic to sue us (we had nothing to lose at the time). When they found out we were giving the money from the record to charity they actually endorsed the record and if you look at the disc it is actually published by Chic music inc. So we didn’t get sued but we did manage to put $10,000 into “participation house” a local Hamilton charity. I have lost touch with Pete over the years, but google Scott Harris comedian if you want to know what happened to me. Oh yeah and thanks for posting this, I haven’t seen a copy of that 45 for many years.
