That old head was lying to you...problem for them was, as it is for any rap act who reaches the top, you are perceived by many to be too commercial, or "simplistic" as he put it. And Run-DMC was basically the first international superstars in rap. Now would I put Run up there with the Mt. Rushmore heads of MC's(Rakim, Nas, Jay, Kane, BIG, etc)? No, but I always thought dude was type nice on the mic. DMC was average, but he did have a commanding voice.

You think Run was more advanced than Melle Mel or Moe Dee?

semantics


i guess, we can debate on the best song of that year

but, its no question 'king of rock' being the most important song ever this was the song that introduced hip hop as a whole including the entire culture to the world

More than Rapper's Delight?
Or Walk This Way the next year?

 

[mobbinfms]

We a little young for this

I was actually alive...but remember nothing

 

[filial_piety]

More than Rapper's Delight?
Or Walk This Way the next year?

yeah.

'rappers delight'
was considered great song
but nothing more than a new niche wont be around next year music


'walk this way'
was overall much bigger & turn them into superstars
but arosmith wouldn't have dared did a song with 3 black teens from da ghetto if it wasnt for the impact from 'king of rock'

fukk the rappers delight, its a shame a lotta people consider this as the most influential song when hank's part, this shyt was stolen from grandmaster caz, and hank never gave props to caz.
