Run DMC - King of Rock

[Jesus]

Listening to this shyt on YT...forgive me for being late on this. 90s baby.... Someone give me a link to purchase the album....

Shame that these new nikkas are boring or fail hard when they try to mix rap with a different genre. (Ye and Cole)

They were a bit before my time (I'm a 80's baby) but in the early 2000s is when I went back and start digging into their catalog more than just the singles I always heard my dad play.

Tougher Than Leather is my shyt! This song always get me hype, lol

Am I the only 1 who thinks DMC > Run?

 

[I love Latina women]

I always said that if I ever do have to wear glasses, I'm getting the 1s DMC use to wear. Them shyts is classic, timeless look.

Looking back if u listen closely Dmc was better than Run but Run's swagger and energy on the mic always overshadowed Dmc

Yeah, I can see that. And when I watch movies like Tougher Than Leather and Krush Groove, I can tell that Run's swagger on the mic sometimes overshadowed DMC

 

[KENNY DA COOKER]

great song and a evening greater video...

they had a sitdown with MJ when they bumped into them at MTV about that one line in the song


"we're NOT michael jackson and this is NOT Thriller!"

it was all good tho...mike said he appreciated the shoutout and the fact that MTV was allowing other blacks artists to get on MTV following the debut of dinner

but overall the album was a dope classic!

first rap album i ever bought.....made me want to deejay like JMJ

And the production by Rick Rubin!!

that's how groups usually were .. 1 had better lyrics and 1 had better swag/personality .. the one with the swag was usually pressured/coerced into going solo

DMC was always lyrically better that RUN .. not light years better but better

I think Mobb Deep is the only group where the lyrics and swag is the same person (not to discredit H)

 

[Trot LaRoc]

DMC is much better than Run....i thought that was common knowledge

 

[Luxury Tax]

It definetley wasn't common knowledge

Run was that n!gga

He got way more love than D

When Run said it was his house he meant that sh!t... not Run Dmc's house... Run's house

Run-D.M.C. appreciation threads

They should have dropped this album back in '87 when they were supposed to. But their label was trying to play them when they were working on their movie and they had to put it on hold. By the time it came out, people were like and it didn't sell as much as Raising Hell even though it was a dope album.

I don't agree that DMC was way better than Run. He could be on some songs, but I always preferred Run's energy and confidence. DMC definitely had the better voice though, and his verse on "Down with the King" has me every time.
