For the 'Top 40 only' crowd, I would say that along with Vanilla Ice, you should also add MC Hammer and C+C Music Factory's Freedom Williams!. Rap honestly went 'mainstream' after the release of Run DMC/Aerosmith's Walk This Way, which at the top was the biggest selling rap single along with Tone Loc's Wild Thing!. Both those were cross-over hits that introduced rap to white people in the suburbs!. I would like to give prompts to Blondie's Rapture, which NEVER gets any credit for being one of THE most popular rap songs, 3rd only to 'Fantastic Voyage' & 8th Wonder!. Then came 'Rapture' which DID introduce rap to white people and was the first mainsteam rap hit!. 'Fantastic Voyage (hands down the best/classic) ushered in rap but was on an independent label and mostly only heard by african-americans and the occasional 'white' dj, such as myself!. I played FV religiously as I knew then, this was no more a fad that they said rock and roll was!. Whover 'they' are, they were wrong on both points! LOL! and Thank God they were!. Though I don't personally care for a whole lotta rap, as a dj I do appreciate it and only love it when it's innovated, instead of just tire borrowed beats!. But, alas, the beat goes on! Ehr, the bpms go on!!!! ;PWww@Enter-QA@Com
Did you ever here the song that Blondie did in 1981 called Rapture!? Pretty mainstream stuff don't you think!?!. Rapture is a rap song and the FIRST RAP SINGLE TO HIT #1 ON THE US BILLBOARD CHARTS!. That's right, some old white pop chick was the first big time rap star!. Unbelievable isn't it!?
Now now, wait just a minute!. I know what you're saying!. You're saying, hey, that can't be right!. But, yes it is!. As a matter of fact, if you would pick up a book once in a while, you might be in agreement instead of sitting there scratching your head!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Long before that white dude came along, the Beastie Boys was layin' down the rap, playin' it on MTV bringing it into the mainstream =]Www@Enter-QA@Com
He brought it to the mainstream, but he also made rap have more of a "pop" feel!. Vanilla Ice peaked early in career for being to poppyWww@Enter-QA@Com
