Run DMC were the first to shift the game in a major way into the new school. Not till Eric B and Rakim came out where Rakim created a paradigm shift lyrically and the sound of music. You had other rappers that were innovating in their own way before Rakim like Kool Moe Dee ,Caz,Melle Mel,,T La Rock, Mc Shan but Rakim was on another level which led into the Golden Era.
@@rarerock5020 Before Canibus you had Nas that elevated the game since Rakim which is no coincidence since they hailed him as the second coming of Ra but Canibus was a beast when he came out and took lyricism to another level and was the 1st emcee in my opinion to be a lyrical wordsmith and getting alot of hype and mass appeal within a short span of time before he became a footnote. In alot of ways I feel he is under appreciated but Canibus in his prime was the most feared emcee back then.
I mean these guys took rap from the artists rapping over disco beats that were already famous... into the hard street raps over original beats made by LARRY SMITH & RICK RUBIN.. To do that makes them the greatest hip hop group of all time!
Run-DMC would change their stance on rap with a social meaning, once political rap was in vogue in the late-80s. They tried to jump on the movement, but it was too late. They had already established themselves as an apolitical band.
I don't get it. They sport Def Jam jackets, Run's brother (who co-founded Def Jam) produced their early records, that Krush Groove movie starring the group was a fictionalized account of Def Jam. I actually thought they were a Def Jam act. So why were they on Profile Records?
Yes, they were on Profile. Def Jam wasn't full blown when Run-DMC started. Run-DMC were around 83. Even though It's Yours by T-La Rock was the first record with the words Def Jam listed, LL Cool J's 85 release was the first album on the Defense Jam label.
They were first signed on Profile. Then Russell hooked up with Rick Rubin who initially had the Def Jam title with the T-La Rock single. They started the label with LL as it's first artist. Run-DMC was supposed to switch over but couldn't get out of their contract with Profile.
You already know Russell Simmons was fighting profile record to get run DMC from them to Def jam that why run DMC 1987 album didn't drop because Russell Simmons and profile record beefing hard
lol interviewer looks like an 80s version of sid vicious.. And i disagree with Run..the 70s had lots of beats to cover especially from the disco era..take the sugarhill gang for instance..''rappers delight'' is based on Chic's ''Good Times''..but ok, that was '79 when people still demanded that disco beat..
Listen to the message here - it's just about making great music - no political bollocks, no black/white segregation bs. Unfortunately this wasn't a message that sat well with certain producers clearly hence gangster rap.
“... cuz Calvin Klein ain’t no friend of mine, don’t want nobody’s name on my behind” classic.
Run-DMC & Eric B. and Rakim are one of the greatest Duo’s Ever!

The interviewer's accent x-D It's like someone trying to do a Yorkshire accent and failing hard
Run-DMC would change their stance on rap with a social meaning, once political rap was in vogue in the late-80s. They tried to jump on the movement, but it was too late. They had already established themselves as an apolitical band.
Not really, Run-DMC had songs like Hard Times, It's Like That, & Proud To Be Black all by '86 before the political rap came out.
@@nilhav Groups like NWA and Public Enemy just took it to another level.
RIP JMJ
I think they are laughing at his accent lol
So am I x-D Yorkshire!
Hilarious culture clash.
I don't get it. They sport Def Jam jackets, Run's brother (who co-founded Def Jam) produced their early records, that Krush Groove movie starring the group was a fictionalized account of Def Jam. I actually thought they were a Def Jam act.
So why were they on Profile Records?
Yes, they were on Profile. Def Jam wasn't full blown when Run-DMC started. Run-DMC were around 83. Even though It's Yours by T-La Rock was the first record with the words Def Jam listed, LL Cool J's 85 release was the first album on the Defense Jam label.

Russell simmion didn't believe in hisself to create defjam around his brother
@@nilhav fuckup everything in 1987
You already know Russell Simmons was fighting profile record to get run DMC from them to Def jam that why run DMC 1987 album didn't drop because Russell Simmons and profile record beefing hard
well i'm a rapper with a mic, drive a cadi not a bike
lol interviewer looks like an 80s version of sid vicious..

Rock was one type of genre hip-hop dj's used; not saying it was the only records.
Listen to the message here - it's just about making great music - no political bollocks, no black/white segregation bs. Unfortunately this wasn't a message that sat well with certain producers clearly hence gangster rap.
I was not big on run DMC for me rakim bdk g rap slick Rick cool c biz shan bdp and a few more but run DMC was ok oh and my man just ice
Yeah, we all were, but Run-DMC was before them.
