During the seventies and eighties, there was a myth among people that, rap music was for the blacks. Bob Dylan's, 'Subterranean Homesick Blues' (1965) was a try on rap too. In 1981, a new-wave white band, Blondie tried rap in the song called, 'Rapture'. In 1982, Afrika Bambaataa released 'Planet Rock', which was a huge success. He was the first Black Muslim making rap music. In 1986, rap reached top of the charts with singles like, 'Fight for your right' by Beastie Boys and 'Walk this way' by Run-DMC. Soon, Run-DMC became the the first rap band to feature regularly on MTV (Music Television). In mid 1980s, the first female band Salt-n-Pepa released their single, "The Show Stoppa", which was a success and henceforth, there was no looking back for this band.
