We travel back to the very beginning of Hip Hop when Ice-T directs field collector Cipha Sounds to visit with the first rap recording group, Sugarhill Gang. Cipha attempts to obtain the original test pressing of the first rap record on vinyl, "Rapper's Delight." Meanwhile, field collector Yo-Yo meets up with Treach of Naughty By Nature to secure items representing their incredible run.
