Answer:

In 1979, Sugarhill Gang a notorious rap group that was produced by Sylvia Robinson released a Hip-Hop track called "Rappers Delight".

Besides appealing to a wider audience the single track recorded over 2 million copies in sales within the United States which earned Sugar Hill Records approximately US$3.5 million.

This realization of how much money could be made from rap became the tipping point for rap which moved from being street music to a commercial commodity.

Since then, rap has become sophisticatedly commercial with lots of rappers who have gone on to sell millions of albums in a week. Eminem is currently the highest-selling solo rapper of all time.

Cheers!

Describe a subject Renaissance artists used that was inspired by the Classical times.
ASHA 777 [7]

The artists were inspired by the rebirth of the Classical ideas and styles. That is why it is called the Renaissance which means rebirth. They artists, philosophers and others looked back to the time of Classical Greeks civilization. They emulated the architecture, the sculputure, the philosphy (Neo-Platonism). The subject matter of most art of the day was confined to mythology (Greek gods and goddesses and their stories) because that was what they saw in the Greek (Roman too) works. Hellenistic Greek styles correspond to the Baroque or late Renaissance which incorporated movement and emotion into the style.
