remember when rappers used to accuse each other of selling out to "crossover"? ah the good old days, there must be a million of these songs - I'm thinking specifically of ill-advised rap-rock and rap-R&b hybrids a la:

Brand Nubian "Try to Do Me"
EPMD "It's Time to Party"

LL Cool J's first (or second) album featured a couple of rap ballads which thought were pretty bold at the time...
