In rap, most likely Sir Mix-A-Lot.

People saying PSY but I'm pretty sure he was (and still is) a star over seas prior to "Gangnam Style".

Rappin was just hobby to keep his Nigerian daddy off his ass.. he didn’t really care about it like Paul did

Soon as he found a out he took it to the next one came

N it paid off

Universal own all rights to that venom album ./ that’s why he stepped back from rap .: after them invoices hit him .. that tech shyt was there

He had to make all new songs when he didn try to come back

I'm always hoping he come back. He's still nice

Also pre streaming, to have a gold or platinum single meant your song was big enough to get on top40 pop radio and people purchased your song. Nowadays, there's a lot of rappers with plat singles that are barely regional hit
