U Can't Touch This (1990)
"U Can't Touch This" is MC Hammer's 1990 hit signature song, from his album Please Hammer, Don't Hurt 'Em. The album sold more than 10 million copies,[1] due primarily to this single, and gaining multi-platinum certifications from the RIAA, and other Recording Industries. The song samples Rick James' "Super Freak" heavily; James is accordingly credited as a co-author. The lyrics were written entirely by Hammer.
The song received its debut live performance on a late 1989 episode of The Arsenio Hall Show.[2] The lyrics describe the rapper as having "toured around the world, from London to the Bay" and as being "magic on the mic", which Hammer says combines with Rick James' "beat that you can't touch". It secured the Grammy Awards for Best R&B Song and Best Rap Solo Performance in 1991, a brand new category at the time. The song was a huge success chart wise: it reached #1 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks and #8 on the Billboard Hot 100[3]. The single was also a big success in other parts of the world, peaking at #1 in Australia, the Netherlands and Sweden, and #3 on the UK singles chart[4].

i gotta disagree with run dmc. even though they may have been the first rappers to get international attention and what not people still considered rap as a fad when they came. not everyone bought into run dmc thus rap music when they came out. as far as their hit goes they did a record with a group who was already well known at the time. im not saying they dont deserve props but its like throwing a newcomer on a track with eminem, who do you think will most likely sell the record? the big name or the new guy? should run dmc be given the credit for a previous areasmith hit?
i look at early rap records that crossed over and sold millions as the break though in rap opposed to who just came first. so even though 2 billion people may have seen live aid, how many of them went out and bought rap records after that?? to me the proof is in the sales of millions of records. we as a people may have accepted it but i wouldnt say the whole world bought into it because of run dmc and certainly not because of the rock/rap track "walk this way." i think that was good marketing a a huge first step but not the foot that kicked the door in for rap internationally. in fact i dont think one person or group can get that. when you look back it was really a fight because the media was really trying to kill the music off before it got big. it took a lot of big diverse records and controversy to raise the awareness of rap music internationally. just my opinion.

Everyone and their grandma knows "Can't Touch This" by MC Hammer....it's a song, I doubt I could ask anyone round my way what the name of the actual album was and them know it though.
.....You need to miss me with your arguement for singles bein worldwide successes, I don't care, so many artists in every genre of music have had huge singles but what has it really done for their careers or for the life of their genre.....?
Cant Touch This and Walk This Way may have been a flash in the pan for hip hop's commercial success worldwide.
Eminem grapped hip hop by the throat and took it to the limit of fame and success and media attention and sales WORLDWIDE....like it had never been done before him and Hip Hop has been everywhere you look since, like it never was before.
......What's understood SHOULDNT need to be explained....

your not acknowledging the question posed by the threadstarter which when answered is Run DMC. He was asking who did it 1st and that is the answer now geet out your isolated denial and accept facts that many did it before eminem and while he may have the highest numbers now they paved the way for the dude you keep stanning for...

A stan is still a stan and your in denial Eminem barely is a head of Tupac in sales and Pac did it 10 years earlier then him and pac was far from the 1st. Now suck it up cupcake and be as much of a man as a stan can be and admit your objectivity was blinded by your love for Eminem and you are dishonestly answering the threadstarters question child...DaPrinciplez;1106946 said:

I think alot of krackers go overboard trying to validate themselves through Emenim, the krackers want desperately to be accepted, and act as if Emenim is a conduit for their own personal validation.brombonze;1106883 said:
The Kracka fails to realize that RUN DMC were international stars in the 80's, and M.C. Hammer was an international star in the 90's.
Wu Tang Clan were highly popular in China & Japan and their international tours in the 90's are a reflection of that
[video=youtube;wDnPgYvVGlU]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wDnPgYvVGlU[/video]
^^^ Wu- Tang in Japan (1994)
The Kracka fails to realize that our culture was solidified globally before Emenim sold a single record.
Once the white-rapper-gimmick wore off the sales dropped accordingly he went from selling 11 mill to 2 mill, kracka's forget that.
They also have no explantion as to why rap-sales have decreased since "Marshall Mathers L.P"...his global success hasnt translated to better sales
for non-white rappers.
Krackers are just deluisional.
