First Rapper To Go Platinum???

[Marvelle]

Who was it, i was conversing last night & the question was brought up & i didnt have an answer!

 

[YoungHov]

It was Run DMC with the album Raising Hell.

 

[MysterE]

I thought it was MC Hammer...

also, Rakim had the first million dollar deal

 

[MintyFreshBeats]

I thought it was the Beastie Boys with License To Ill.

 

[YoungHov]

I thought it was the Beastie Boys with License To Ill.

License To Ill was the second hip-hop album to go platinum, it came out in the same year as Raising Hell though.

That was a fukin good year for Rick Rubin, I think he also signed PE in 86.

Nah, it was the second. I had got that wrong about License To Ill.

 

[Tha Kat]

The first female rapper to go platinum is Da Brat with her debut album Funkdafied.

I'm thinking he's joking, although this IS the same guy that doesn't think Dr. Dre is a real producer....
