Although Ice Cube was a better rapper.
Michelle_Akemi said:He;s asking about NWA members...and simms, please stop posting with capitals like that, it's annoying.
My favourite Ice Cube song is ; It was a good day.
Black Star said:Of the three Dre, because he's still going strong today.
If I had my choice, I'd have to pick Grandmaster Flash. He and the Furious Five teamed up for the first mainstream rap song ever, "the Message".
I used to enjoy Ice T as well.
poggy1 said:Sorry to tell you this Black Star,but Kurtis Blow brought through Grandmaster Flash.Also 'The Message' wasn't the first mainstream rap song ever,it wasn't even in the top ten.It was the first to speak of the times and politics going on at the time,what was happening on the streets.
Black Star said:I stand very corrected. Rep for you, if I could.
poggy1 said:No problem,that is why I said Kurtis Blow he's the man who brought rap mainstream an also had a hand in bring some of the best early rap stars through.Examples -
Run DMC
Grandmaster Flash
Melle Mel
LL Cool J
Doug E Fresh
Afrika Bambaataa
To name but a few.Rapper's Delight by The Sugarhill Gang was the first major hit in rap music though.

Either way, I voted other. To be honest, all three of those former N.W.A. members wouldn't have it the way they did without the rappers of the late 70's and early 80's.
Chris whats up, do you have two accounts you are posting with here?
poggy1 said:Loved early Hip Hop,but used to be hard work getting here in the UK in the early 80's.Going round the record shops looking through the import records section or having to order it and pray they'ed manage to get it.
The good old days:1orglaugh now day all you have to do is turn on your computernot nearly as much fun.
