Sylvia Robinson March 6, 1936 – September 29, 2011

Sylvia Robinson — who produced the first mainstream hip-hop hit “Rapper’s Delight” — died this morning of congestive heart failure. Robinson is widely regarded as the “Mother of Hip-Hop” — producing groundbreaking hits “The Message” by Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five … and “Rapper’s Delight” with the Sugar Hill Gang.- You def changed the music game, thank you for contribution in Hip Hop. #FeelGoodSound
