16. Vanilla Ice – Rollin` in My 5.0
Although most rap music topics weren’t about cars, in the beginning, rap musicians were fond of fine machinery. So, the car, as a desirable object, has an important place in hip-hop mythology. And the best example is the Vanilla Ice hit, Rollin’ in My 5.0.
The car is about the legendary 80’s muscle car, the Ford Mustang with its 5.0 HO engine. It was the prime example of an affordable, yet powerful muscle car in the late 80’s. Especially desirable in the convertible version, the white Mustang has once again contributed to the history of popular music.
