Rappin Rockin Barbie

Rappin' Rockin' Barbie was fairly early on the hip hop scene. The doll was released in 1992, well before nearly every pop song had a rap in the middle of it. The doll came with a working pink boombox that plays a hip hop sound. Barbie wears a black and pink ensemble and accessories with a gold chain, green socks and pink shoes.

A commercial was released to promte Rapper Barbie, which included a rap in it. The girls in the commercial says, "This Barbie's cool from her head to her toes, because she's got the most happenin' clothes." Take a look:
