music Did you know there was a hit rap song in 1986 called "Crack Killed Applejack"?

[Music Chart Fan 819]

I was looking at the Billboard Hot Black Singles charts from the '80s, and I happened to see a song called "Crack Killed Applejack" by General Kane. The single peaked at #12 on Hot Black Singles (now known as Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs) in November 1986; it didn't chart on any other major Billboard singles chart at the time. The B-side of the single was "Applejack's Theme".

 

 

I found a YouTube video of "Crack Killed Applejack"; there doesn't seem to be one for "Applejack's Theme".

The song has no relation to the character Applejack or My Little Pony other than the name. I just thought it was funny that there was an actual hit rap song with "Applejack" in it.
