"Rapper’s Delight" by The Sugarhill Gang (covered by Groove Century in-game) is featured on Just Dance 2024 Edition.

Appearance of the Dancer[]

Rappersdelight coach 1

The coach is a claymation model of a dark skinned male rapper named Caz, who has a light blue bucket hat on his head. His facial features include large black eyebrows, a thin mustache and a central diastema whenever his teeth are visible. He wears a four golden necklaces, with the fourth and largest necklace in chains and having the JD initials hanging from it. He also wears a red tank top, denim blue jeans held by a dark brown belt with a golden buckle, and light blue sneakers with white accents and soles. He wears two golden bracelets on his right wrist and a golden ring on his right index finger.

At a certain point of the routine, his tank top turns purple.

Background[]

The song starts with a mini bass guy resembling Nile Rodgers[2] entering on a DJ record then the camera zooms out on top of some New York buildings, some guys that'll sing later on by the coach, female DJ-er resembling Sylvia Robinson[3], pigeons and the guy in red based on Wonder Mike sings as the coach routine starts. Right before the coach jumps off the building, there's a guy with a basketball, next to him is graffiti of the song title. The coach lands on a NY subway train and the same red, long sleeved guy singing, next Hank (the singer in the song) refers as a blue sleeveless shirt guy in the train's window shows up, as he's singing, the camera resumes back on the coach. The coach then jumps on a Cadillac with Hank driving it, a pizza place and some city folks, one with a boombox and the pizza chef singing. The street then switches between buildings and stores with at one point the Brooklyn Bridge, where others dancing around the dancer. On the right is a movie theater with a sign reading "SOUL", On the left, a female wears an exact "JD" letters on her shirt like said coach’s necklace. The background fades to black and purple version of the dancers appears a few seconds in. After the background fades back in, a band enters on a stage with a sign saying "JUST SOUL" The speaker under the rapper based on Master Gee on stage is branded by "J DANCE" (The Just Dance name shorted) turning out to be a disco club. As the last gold move plays, it's revealed that the dance was being played on an eighty like TV in a house.

Gold Moves[]

There are 2 Gold Moves in this routine:

Gold Move 1: Put your right arm up and put your left arm on your shoulder and shake them slightly.
Gold Move 2: Put your arms out.

Trivia[]

General[]

  • Rapper’s Delight is the second song by The Sugarhill Gang in the series but first to be covered.
  • The song is interpolated in Aserejé (The Ketchup Song).
  • The in-game cover is based on the "7" single version" of the song with the outro shorted by 1 minute.
  • "Spank" and "damn" are censored.
  • On a promotional tweet for Just Dance 2024 Edition by @Ubisoft_UK from November 18, 2023, the song title is misspelled as "Rappers Delight".[4]
  • The song’s name was featured in concept art for the cover of Just Dance 3.[5]

Routine[]

  • Rapper’s Delight and Shine a Little Love are the only two maps from Just Dance 2024 Edition whose YouTube Shorts version of the preview gameplay shows a different part of the routine from the longer preview.
  • After Gold Move 2, the routine breaks the fourth wall by making the camera zoom out, to reveal that the routine had been displayed on the screen of an old TV for the entire song. This makes Rapper’s Delight and Shine a Little Love the eighth and ninth maps to break the fourth wall, after Futebol Crazy, Sexy And I Know It, You Spin Me Round (Like a Record), Mr. Blue Sky, Walking on Sunshine, Wouldn’t It Be Nice, and Abc (nicer).
  • Eddy, the production company that produced this map, has also worked on advertisements for Just Dance 2023 Edition.[6] Rapper’s Delight and Wasabi are the first two maps in the Just Dance series to be produced by them.
  • The routine was made to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of hip-hop.[7]
  • The map was created in the 3D modeling software Blender, incorporating a clay-like texture that is applied for the entirety of the map.[8]
  • This map contains many Easter eggs to elements associated with the song and its artists.
    • Caz’s name is a reference to American rapper Grandmaster Caz, who wrote Big Bank Hank’s rap in this song.
    • Crispy’s Pizza, the pizzeria in the background where the character dubbed by Big Bank Hank’s cover artist is working at, is a reference to said artist’s past job in Crispy Crust Pizza.
    • The appearance of the mini-bass guy on the DJ set who later appears on the Just Soul stage is based on Nile Rodgers, who created the guitar riff of the song "Good Times" by Chic, which is sampled in the song.
    • The appearance of the female DJ is based on Sylvia Robinson, the producer of the song.
    • The scene on the car is a reference to the casting Sylvia Robinson made in her car in front of Crispy Crust Pizza.[9]
    • The Just Soul stage is a reference to the show Soul Train, where the band had made their appearance.[10]
  • Caz’s design is inspired by Celebrity Deathmatch.[11]
  • On November 19, 2023, a full-body version of Caz’s pose from the cover is used in promotional material for Just Dance 2024 Edition; however, the image gets blurrier and with a more uneven outline below Caz’s knees.[12]
