• 1980 - Rap began to reach a wider audience as the scene's pioneers shifted focus from performing live to making records. Kurtis Blow was the first rapper to be signed to a major label and his track The Breaks was the first rap single to go gold while Blondie singer Debbie Harry introduced the concept to a new crowd by rapping on their single Rapture.
• 1981 - In 1981 The Funky 4 Plus One became the first rap act to perform on a US network TV show Saturday Night Live.
• 1982 - More groundbreaking records were released led by Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five's stark "The Message" which moved the scene on from party lyrics to rapping about economic and social problems. Afrika Bambaataa fused hip hop with electro in his landmark album Planet Rock - The Album. The first hiphop film "Wild Style" featured some early stars and showcased the whole scene including breakdancing and graffiti, inspiring a new generation of artists.
• 1983 - Rapping had moved beyond the disco beat with a beat of its own. The first "human beatboxing" was heard. Run-DMC appeared in 1983 ushering in a new era of hardcore blunt and stark beats and lyrics incorporating heavy guitars as well as hip hop beats. Their uncompromising stance extended to their visual image, staying true to the style of the streets with gold chains and sportswear and shunning the costumes and stage routines of their predecessors. The first gangsta rap came out of the West Coast, while Herbie Hancock had a hit with jazz fusion single Rockit.
• 1984 - Run-DMC vocalist Joseph Run Simmons brother Russell formed the Def Jam record label with student Rick Rubin. Sixteen-year-old LL Cool J was its first artist. Def Jam went on to sign future stars including Run-DMC, the Beastie Boys, and Public Enemy, producing powerful and influential rappers.
• 1986 - In 1986, the first gangsta rap records were released. The style of rap was only percussion, without instruments. Rap was more popular than ever. Run-DMC's third album Raising Hell and single Walk This Way made them the first rap act to fully cross over into the mainstream, appealing to rock and hip hop fans alike and becoming the first rap act embraced by MTV. White ex-punks the Beastie Boys similarly mixed rap and rock on their debut album Licensed to Ill, which became the first rap album to hit number one and the bestselling rap album of the 1980s, but were dismissed as phoney and inauthentic by some purists.
• 1987 - Public Enemy, one of the most influential and political rap groups, releases Yo! Bum Rush the Show.
• 1988 - Two landmark albums pushed rap in an aggressive and controversial direction. Public Enemy's political and powerful It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back was a manifesto for revolution in both rap and the wider world. NWA epitomised gangsta rap with a celebration of the violent crime and misogyny of the Los Angeles ghetto in Straight Outta Compton — shocking middle class America and inspiring an FBI investigation. MTV's first regular rap show, Yo! MTV Raps, started.
• 1989 - N.W.A. releases Straight Outta Compton, popularizing gangsta rap. The late 1980s hip hop scene was not all combative as was proved by a positive psychedelic and jazzy movement led by De La Soul whose classic debut 3 Feet High and Rising came out.
