[QUOTE="Joe94, post: 2636482, member: 893377"] Well it started back in the 70s, but the first major rap artist was probrably Run Dmc, an 80s group. They revolutionized it, by accomplishing feats that paved the way for rappers following them. They got the first rap video to be played on mtv, (Rock Box). The first top 10 rap hit, which is their cover version of Aerosmiths "Walk This Way", and i think they had the 1st rap album to go platinum too. One guy called them "The Beatles Of Hip Hop". [/QUOTE]
