learnt something new today!

Nile Rodgers (nilerodgers)

Hey Joe, that's not quite correct. The sample is the string falloff that's taken from the record "Good Times." Listened to Rappers Delight and you'll hear. But you are correct that a band played the groove and I knew that the moment I heard it. It's not our exact bass or guitar. https://t.co/cpBDzw39GV

Did you know that rappers delight contains no samples? It was a band playing behind them. Although he did not play on rappers delight, bass player Doug Wimbish later of Living Color, it was part of the group of studio musicians that performed on that record.
