Super-Wolf was Jackson, Tennessee's rap legend back in the 1980's. Super-Wolf had one of the first hits in rap history with this regional favorite "Super-Wolf Can Do It".
James "Super" Wolf released "Super-Wolf Can Do It" in 1980 on Sugarhill Records, which was owned by Joe & Sylvia ("Pillow Talk," "Love Is Strange") Robinson. Sugarhill Records was the label that gave the world The Sugarhill Gang, Grandmaster Flash and other old school rap luminaries. The "Super-Wolf" track is produced by R & B legend Miss Denise LaSalle, who can be heard on the background vocals.
Was this the flipside to Sugarhill gang rappers delight? That’s how I remember but I could be 100% completely wrong but I swear when we had the 45 of rappers delight and you would flip it over it was super wolf, right?
I remember howling to the radio station (kix96) and singing "Sup-per WOoolf, CAN DOoo it." Then getting in on his ROLLLLL CALL. Those were the good ole days.
i knew this kat back in the 70s james wolfe.. he dominated jackson radio brought many of the shows to town ran a supperclub and married deniece laselle he was the man...
James Super Wolf and I go way back. The Players Palace in Jackson Tenn is were I met James and we became good friends but as time has past and many miles came between us we have not stayed in touch. I still have his number and talk to him from time to time.It would be nice to get back to Jackson and relive some old memories
on saturday night in jackson tennessee after work in the 70s go to the players places and dance til 2 am....all Lane College students.......class of 1980
I remember this Legend listening to this song on Kix 96 which he pioneered and I finally met him. He was listening to me on stage talk about him playing jazz on Sundays it inspired me being a jazz artist. RIH Mr. James E. Super Wolfe😢
This is a B-Side on a SugarHill artist compilation record that I've had since it came out...The A side was the long and short version of Rapper's Delight. His story is pretty cool. He later became a mayor.
NOOOOOO i thought EYE was the only fool on the planet that liked this song and remembered it. OMG this was the first hip hop song that I actually fell in love with. How tacky huh? Thank you so very much for posting!
when i was stationed at eglin afb in ft walton bch fla i would go home every friday to dothan al and this was the song i would pop in the cassette deck !!! i was 20 and did not have a problem in the world !!! LAWD PLEASE BRING BACK THE 80'S ! ! !
When I think back to the golden age of hip-hop, this song is right at the forefront of my memories! If I recall, this was on the Sugar Hill label. This is a heavily sampled track as well, especially in House Music. Pure classic!
I forgot all about this! This was from about the Summer of 1980 and I remember seeing this on "Job Man Caravan" (South Carolina's answer to Soul Train and BET predecessor) around that time.
"sugar is sugar, salt is salt, if you don't get off its not my fault" was used in detroit on the scene by nat morris almost daily as the closing statement: "sugar is sugar, salt is salt, if you didn't get off its not our fault"
Old rapid so dope.is so cool to know most came from these vibes genre.born in 89 so I seen mostly gangsta rap.this stuff was completely different than what I grew up with .kinda sad
LOL! Put yo' weight on it, doggone it! It's been years since I heard this! I don't know about all that SIGMA blue he's wearing, but Wolf is a good man. Much love in Jackson, TN!

He was also married to blues singer Denise LaSalle. In fact, he sampled his wife's song "I'm So Hot" for this rap classic!

This is literally my theme song. Yes I am a badass
