+Harry Frazier Basically I just showed my age. .lol RUN/DMC, Erik B and Rakim, Beasties, LL Cool J, Public Enemy, NWA to name a few I saw live. Hip Hop wasn't just some trap video, it was a culture and life.
My father, a native of the South Bronx and 58 years old says, "the greatest, period." He talks about carrying records in a milk crate for DJ Kool Herc and DJ Red Alert.
Great choice! Public Enemy's album Apocalypse 91 was the first hip hop album I ever listened to. It blew my 12 year old mind. I've loved that era of hip hop ever since.
Fellow Aussie, 46yrs. I got the 'Tougher Than leather' cassette in 1988 after a mate at school let me listen to it one lunchtime. I remember spending the whole lunchbreak listening to the album and bought it a few days later. Even my older sister knew the words to 'Mary Mary' within a few weeks :)
It will never happen again. I’m 51 now. I commented a year ago about going to their concert in the early 90s and it was just amazing. Run on one side and DMC on the other with JMJ up high in the middle on the turn tables. They started the show with Run’s House. The bass drum on the up beat went through your chest. Artists just do it for money and fame now…these guys did it for fun and respect for the music and they are legends because of it.
As a youngster a lot of the other rap around was corny as fuck. I mean this is a little corny, but compared to other pre-gangsta rap it's solid as fuck.
They were Elvis and Buddy Holly...Beastie Boys were more akin to The Beatles...every album brought fresh sounds, new rhymeschemes, and made everything that was new seem old and stale..."Paul's Boutique" is transcendent...
@@stinkypinkeee5085 I think that Public Enemy could be The Beatles of hip hop. It Takes a Nation of Millions To Hold us Back is like the Sgt. Peppers of rap
My fiancé and I were both born n 87 we’re both 34 I keep old school hip hop n my heart n now I’m teaching my kids bout dis era from da early stages of hip hop n not dat junk they playing now
I was 12-14 Raising hell, Tougher than leather. Ghetto Blaster, DUDE!!! the memories of that time in my life and that age was PERFECTION. I was break dancing on broken down card board boxes. This was an era you can never forget if you lived in it. Thank you Run DMC.
ON THE 50th Anniversary Of HIP~HOP GOT To Bump Some RUN DMC....JAM MASTER J & THAT SCRATCHING THOUGH🎧📀 NOT A G A N G OFF THE STREET R.U.N.D.M.C. COMPLETE.... SAY WHAT!!??
Man.. it was 1988 and I was 18 years old! The golden age of rap was just starting and the mighty Run DMC in truth.. were on the ropes! They had a five year domination and stronghold on hip hop culture! No one came even close in those years between 1983 and 1988. But.. by early 1987 the rap landscape was changing fast.This record showed the world that the great Run DMC had a little more juice left in the tank to compete in the changing landscape of hip hop! Looking back.. I’ll always believe that if they would’ve dropped Beats to The Rhyme on video instead of Mary Mary, they could have delayed the inevitable for a few more years possibly! At 50 years old now, I smile and give thanks that I was a witness to arguably the greatest rap group of all time in their prime! Run DMC and Jam Master Jay! 💥💯👊🏽
I agree. they started getting outdated once Rakim,Kane,Kool G Rap, Just Ice, Slick Rick Krs One and many others came out but they were still able to hang for a bit. Fortunately they had some resurgence in 93 when they hooked up with Pete Rock and did "Down with The Kings" which gave them a boost but by then West Coast rap was taking over and the Likes of Snoop and Dr Dre were dominating the charts.
@@kevinfoxx6396 of course bro but like I said, nobody, including Rakim, took over the Run DMC reign totally until 1988. By 1989, Run DMC were old news and hip hop was officially in the hands of Rakim, Kane, BDP, Slick Rick, PE etc. I was there too. 💯🎤✌🏽
I'm 48 and I do remember when paid in full dropped in 1987 it was pretty much a rap for old school rappers except for L L. Remember on an episode of a different world they were pumpin I got soul in the cafeteria? Just saying..
What I loved about RUN DMC is not only their delivery but style. I mean they made Adidas popular, Lee denim jeans and a godfather hat! All things us kids in the 80s could afford and be part of this culture. The only thing I never had was the 30" dookie rope, but damn I wanted one 😂
The influence of Run DMC can’t be underestimated. They didn’t start hip-hop. It started a decade earlier in the Bronx. And while we owe the Bronx DJs, MCs, and B-Boys a huge debt for being the pioneers, we also have to recognize Run-DMC for their role in spreading the culture outside the streets of NYC. It was Run DMC that introduced most of the world to hip-hop. Not only were they incredible artists, but they were truly ambassadors.
There was a young man, about 18 or 19, listening to Peter Piper on his phone shooting hoops by my house the other day. I aaked him what he knew about that, and he said that he loves Run DMC. This is timeless Hip Hop. Shit brings me to tears it's so Great.
This was when rap was true Hip Hop...they are the best rap duo of all time and they did it without violent lyrics it was straight fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥....still listening in 2022 and forever 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Still listening in 2021. Saw them live 30 years ago. Concert started out with Run’s House. Run on one side and DMC on the other. Jam Master J was on the turn table in the middle. Crazy. Was amazing. The low bass that hits on the upbeat went through your chest. Still remember it to this day.
I had tickets to see them in maybe 1988 on the Raising Hell tour ... my friend got arrested a few days before, and I didn't wanna travel and go alone. His parents grounded him ... and the tickets went to waste
+maccagrabme This was their own tune, Walk This Was was an Aerosmith song they were told to cover. Run DMC hadn't done a rock track before as they never heard rock properly so didn't know how it should have been done.
+Hellwyck Run DMC had done rock before this with the excellent Rock Box and King of Rock. Much, much better than Walk this way which I thought was ok but a bit commercial.

DMC's parents didnt even understand how big and amazing they were until the 90's.
D killed his verse!old school
when he took off the glasses tho... sheesh
Damm right he did!!!!
Man this was real HIP HOP. Dont know what in the hell happened to music.
Evolution
DMC'S delivery and his voice is the essence of Hip Hop.
Bro DMC killed this especially his first verse
Wanna be down with the king
Reminds me of the power of treach from nbn
Doc definitely killed his verse 💯
That’s what I’m saying.
One of the greatest Hip-Hop groups of all time hands down.
The Greatest.
Easily
🏆
The Greatest 👑

RIP Jam Master Jay (January 21, 1965 - October 30, 2002), aged 37
You will always be remembered as a legend.
Today marks 20 years since he died.

Run is so underrated as an MC. His skills were always top shelf
He's top 10 for me personally. Not only as a emcee, But his whole steez was dope! Live performance was ill!

Underrated? By who?
Seriously unrated Run's Delivery alone is iconic. D's cool roars is the perfect compliment. Kings of Rock 4ever👊
Most important group in hip hop history.

BEST RAP GROUP EVERY HANDS ✋️ DOWN
I miss this ERA when Rap Music was Positive and not degrading .
Me too!
Me too. And it was socially conscious.
Y'all act like TooShort wasn't making music in 1983 as well. As long as there's been hip hop there's been a raunchier side.
*When we were kids. "Our parents just* *don't understand this music"*
*Now as parents. "Kids just don't* *understand this music" ☺️*
My fiancé and I were both born n 87 we’re both 34 I keep old school hip hop n my heart n now I’m teaching my kids bout dis era from da early stages of hip hop n not dat junk they playing now
Lol
Pure classic right there
I’m 13 and I love this kind of rap
Now look at ya, not understanding your kids music. Lmao
sorry nothing better than old school New York rap
it's corny as hell...
Actually the shit out now is corny asf...The 80's was a different era, shit was new and fresh
Say no more pioneers of this hip hop shit
Right now working for diamond materiels on the milling machine?
90s hip hop is way better
The guy they're talking to - in the Washington Square Park fountain - at 3:01 is still around the park these days
Run was that dude!
Dmc has one of the best voices in hip hop.
And Rhymes.....Legend
Without a doubt
Rev Run was cold
I was 12-14 Raising hell, Tougher than leather. Ghetto Blaster, DUDE!!! the memories of that time in my life and that age was PERFECTION. I was break dancing on broken down card board boxes. This was an era you can never forget if you lived in it.
Thank you Run DMC.
Raising hell was the first tape I bought in 86. I was 13.
These guys were rockstars!
Still hits hard in 2022. Sounds great in the trunk.
Yup 2023 too. Should have been there live in the 90s. You may have been. That upbeat bass knock at their concert left me breathless. Crazy.
This is hit hard forever and a day.
You know it. I still got the album. Play it on my 1200 technique turntables 🎤
At 30 seconds, I wanted Run's jacket so much.
there is no better delivery than that first verse.
THE HARDEST DELIVERY!!!
Run DMC still fire to me

I still contend that DMC completely demolished this track with that last verse. That was pure fire and brimstone especially in the late 80s.

All Day!!! The Chemistry between the three of them was Magnificent!!!"
But DMC's Verse is my favorite!!
Dmc was always my favorite
He definitely set that mic on fire...

That opening verse is the absolute coldest verse in rap history argue with someone else idc what nobody says nothing hits harder than that verse
I think if we're talking about in combination with the music (not just the verse itself) you can DEFINITELY make the case for that.

Still listening in 2021. Saw them live 30 years ago. Concert started out with Run’s House. Run on one side and DMC on the other. Jam Master J was on the turn table in the middle. Crazy. Was amazing. The low bass that hits on the upbeat went through your chest. Still remember it to this day.

Damn that sucks fam. Great concert all positive everyone just had fun. Great times hate you didn’t get to see it hoss. Peace.
These beats are amazing. Nothing beats 80's hip hop. Nothing.
2023 my opinion the greatest rap group ever.
This beat is still the dope as hell , and can't be matched 🔥🔥🔥
Pinnacle of hip hop. This track has everything.
1988....I was in the Navy, RUN-DMC was at the top of their game, and these were good times.
The most thing I love about Run it's true it is his house when he in the building 😂 RUN DMC AND JAM MASTER J RIP 😞
