Honorable mentions for this year go out to one of the first songs by the Beastie Boys ("She's on it") and Ice T ("Killers"). LL Cool J released his debut album "Radio" with classics like "Rock the Bells" and of course "I can't live without my Radio". Run-D.M.C's lead track from their 2nd album "King of Rock" had huge crossover appeal: https://open.spotify.com/track/7sDrsnfBNBCmUpuXXJEK0l?si=Ee3TMql7Su-bBzQ-6c8NFA
Other memorable songs in 1985 came from Westcoast pioneer and pimp Rapper Too $hort https://open.spotify.com/track/7nSqjc1qrrep2hZRMmr3o0?si=sYlFJQIATpeJdvbjDSmFXg
and Schooly D's "P.S.K. -What does it mean?" was one of the first tracks labelled Gangsta Rap. https://open.spotify.com/track/3StKzbpR9dRZB8epDx4KDW?si=A-51InpUTZGL5JoQ50muyA
His "Gucci Time" moreover established a long lasting tradition of Rappers naming their songs after (fashion) brands. This phenomenon of hypercapitalist topics in Hip Hop alone would be worth a long essay.
