Quick question....EPMD's So Watcha Saying didnt chart in the top 40 but was #23 Hot Rap/R&B #40 Hot Dance Singles sales and #5 Hot Rap singles....Was it a hit? @5grand

I wouldn't consider So Whatcha Saying a "hit" but I remember when it was out.

You guys are making revisionist history. Just because a song was hot in Hip Hop circles doesn't make it a "hit".

It takes Two - Rob Base and DJ EZ Rock

Walk This Way - Run DMC

Push It - Salt N Pepa

U Can't Touch This - MC Hammer

Just a friend - Biz Markie

^^^^ Those were hits during an era when Top 40 stations generally didn't play rap music.

Ok, so we're talking only Top 40.....As I said before we need to eliminate most of the songs in this thread....

Well are we talking about songs that got a few burns on BET or songs that made the top 40?

Because I could pull up songs from the late 80s that nobody on this board has heard of that got played once on Rap City.
