June 21, 201214 yr I don't know if I can honestly give an accurate answer to this one, primarily because whenever it comes to music on "the charts"...I'm left scratching my head and asking why in the hell people actually buy and/or listen to the majority of the completely crapulent music that makes "the charts". If I'm asked my idea of "most famous", I've learned that apparently it differs entirely from what the masses think. When I read the question initially, I immediately thought "Rappers Delight" in my head, but I might have to agree with PP92..."Ice Ice Baby" and "You Can't Touch This" are probably the two most famous, with famous simply being a numbers game of how many folks know of the song. That's what I was going by. "Ice Ice Baby" was a phenomenon as was "U Can't Touch This". You can probably stop a random person on the street over the age of 25 and they'll know of "Ice Ice Baby" and "You Can't Touch This" easily. Can anyone even name 5 songs from Vaniila Ice and 10 from MC Hammer? :lol:
June 21, 201214 yr 2 Legit 2 Quit, Pray, Have you seen her, Here comes the hammer, Pump and a bump. I've already said too much... :lol:
June 21, 201214 yr First one to pop in my head was Straight Outta Compton, but Ice Ice Baby and U Can't Touch This were both much more mainstream.
June 21, 201214 yr I guess in my view "Ice Ice Baby" and "U Can't Touch This" aren't rap songs. :lol:
June 21, 201214 yr Ice Ice Baby is the most famous rap song ever, IMO and much to my dismay. I'd put U Can't Touch This right after it. Again....much to my dismay. ^This, and ^That.
June 21, 201214 yr While ice ice baby might have been more popular I just can't call it rap. My vote has to go with Nothing but a G Thang. To me that song and album turned alot of people onto rap.
June 21, 201214 yr But bear in mind that I'm a 56 year-old white guy that once used the word "nifty" in a sentence. :lol:

June 21, 201214 yr I'll be honest and admit that I once knew all the words to Ice Ice Baby and would dance like Vanilla Ice when the video came on. And then I saw the video for 'Gas Face' by 3rd Bass and realized I had been making a tremendous error in judgment. :lol:

June 21, 201214 yr "I like big butts and I cannot lie" "But you say he's just a friend" "Word to your moms I came to drop bombs I got more rhymes than the bible's got psalms" (especially if you attend H.S. basketball games) ^they have to rank up there, you know the lyrics even if you have to google the song title and artist, even if you're old.

Yeah, those three should have at least made Honorable Mention on my list.
