"Rapper's Delight" used a track cut from a Sugar Hill house band called Positive Force. The track sampled "Good Times" by Chic. Big Bank Hank's verses were lyrics written by Grandmaster Caz. However despite the success, Caz did not receive any royalties for his contribution. Chic's Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards filed a lawsuit for copyright infringement over "Rapper's Delight" (the first of many such legal battles for rap); it was settled out of court, leaving Rodgers with a large cut of all future royalties.

The song is often cited as an example of an effective remix;
one that includes a change of song lyrics or beat. In this case, both
the original song's lyrics and the musical bed received a make over.
With its Taana Gardner sampling
bassline, the 7 minute 12" version was clearly tailor-made for
dancefloors and provided a striking contrast to the laid back album
version. The song sampled "The Breaks" by Kurtis Blow
