Big Bank Hank
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Big Bank Hank is an old school rapper, famous for being a member of The Sugarhill Gang, the first hip hop act to have a hit single, "Rapper's Delight".
Hank is most famous for a passage from the song: His verse depicts him meeting Lois Lane and convincing her to drop her boyfriend, Superman. Says Hank: "He's a fairy, I do suppose/flying through the air in panty hose...He can't satisfy you with his little worm, but I can bust you out with my super sperm". In his three sections of the song, Hank uses his well-known: "Ho-tel, Mo-tel, what you gonna do today (say what)/I'm gonna get a fly girl, gonna get some spankin' drive off in a def oj."
In years post release, many of the pioneers of the New York Hip Hop Movement have attibuted the true writing of these lines to a rapper by the name of Grand Master Caz aka Casinova Fly who Hank had been managing at the time.
Busta Rhymes' breakout single "Woo-Hah!! Got you all in check" samples Hank's line in the 1981 hit "Eighth Wonder". "See it's up my back, its around my neck, Woo-hah!! Got them all in Check."
