Eddie Martinez was PUNISHING that guitar! Damn!
My name eddie
Don't Forget Rock Box As Well. Killed It.
Dude was rocking heavily with that groove. Eddie was tough.
FACTS
D's for never dirty, MC's for mostly clean.
The back and forth delivery between Run and DMC is pure greatness. 🔥
And when their voices join together as well!
Almost like Lennon & McCartney 🤦
I love it😊
It's almost like Ad Rock, MCA and Mike D
Copy that. Very overlooked
“I even made the devil sell me his soul”. Love DMC & his lyrics!
Jam Master Jay is missed,rest in peace to legendary dj
Two dudes were indicted
@@glowfour4578 Along with the reason no one knew about. Jay was dealing on the side.
@@2013venjixAs inconsequential a detail as that is(everyone knew anyway) he was murdered and regardless of what he was into he, his family and friends deserve justice. It took damn near two decades but it seems like justice is finally going to be served in this case. About damn time too.
@@2013venjix a lot of them did back then bc they were getting ripped off and never paid as they should have been.

As a flight attendant, I had the pleasure of meeting and serving DMC not once but twice in about 10yrs between each encounter. He was flying from Charlotte, NC to Newark, NJ both times. I often think what were the odds of that!? He was a gentleman and he even remembered me from the first flight mainly because of my name. The last flight was around 2011. I cherish those encounters with the Legend.
In 1985 me and 3 dudes standing behind arena trying to get glimse of fresh fest superstars limo pulls up, 1st guy spoke to DMC he signaled for all three of us backstage there he gave us backstage passes, access to there dressing room food etc. very humble nice guy one night i'll never forget, RUN not as nice.
' I even made the Devil sell me his soul ' 🔥🔥🔥
🤫✌🏽😈✌🏽 #ITS #TRUE 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
King Of Rock is still the hardest cleanest rap Ive ever heard, I still play it like it just came out.
down with the kings
This was back when was good but rap really was good but now rap music sux big time okay
This is hard. Raising Hell is harder.
I don't always listen to Run DMC....but when I do, my neighbors do too ;)
The most amazing thing about this song may be the fact that it didn't sample a single thing. This song is 100% Run DMC
100% king shit
Vanilla ice: 😯
They sound like Beasty boys
@@twisted_fate3264 you mean the beastie boys sound like them
@@twisted_fate3264 are you insane RUN DMC originated that style
RIP Jam Master Jay🥀
Watching the investigation into his death on ABC7 right now.
@@carlyletom301 ppp
Wat the fuck did j ever do to ANYONE.........
TOGI BOK one of my happiest pictures ever is being held by Jay as a baby in New York with producer Larry Smith and guitarist Eddie Martinez in the background with my 80's rocking hair mother. Wish I'd been old enough to actually have a 'memory' of it. I do know the band said 'that baby's wild man, check out those eyes.' When glaring around a studio
🐐
R.I.P. Jam Master Jay . Miss you brother
RIP jam master Jay🙏🏿
One of the best songs ever recorded. Changed everything
For me
Miss Elaine
and
Tougher Than Leather
Changed everything
when i first heard tougher than leather, i was like
Hoooooooooooo........Lyyyyyyyyyyyy...........FUCK !!!!
in like the first 5 seconds
Raising Hell was their ABSOLUTE GREATNESS in my opinion.
Rockbox came out a year earlier in '84. For me, that was the big bang for rap/rock union, next level ish. Kind of Rock summited that mountain again. Those two are my favorite Run DMC jams for their trend setting. (Walk this Way tried to go in these footsteps, but wasn't close. Crossing over is tricky; could lose your identity.)
Tru story
They had the greatest timing of all time. One word in, one word out w/o skipping a beat. "Timeless".
Facts!
I noticed that too.
Carl Horton Check out Double Trouble ( Rodney Cee and K.K Rockwell) from the movie Wild style.
One of the hardest rap songs of the 80’s. If Mellie Mell, Grand Master Flash, Cold Crush Crew, Kurtis Blow and those guys are the foundation of HipHop. Run DMC, Whodini, Fat Boys and LL are the brick layers of the game.
Sugar Hill Gang...never forget them.
@@steelzmb4262🫤
Yeah!!!
FACTS
And Beastie Boys they were touring with RUN DMC on Licensed to Ill
RIP JMJ you finally got the justice you deserved
Glad
JMJ Beats & Mixes Live on in 2024...Rest In Beats J
They didnt talk about drugs or being a thug. Str8 truth
"They don't make no songs like these... PERIOD."
Desee
coolest guitah riff right? the drum track's also heavy-as-hell as well!
so true tho
As someone who was born in 1994, I agree with you.
The original pioneers of rap. Music will never be like this again...
Not really; Grandmaster Flash , caz, Melle Mel - these dudes were doing it in the 70s, Run DMC formed in 1982 - Still really early in the game and they broke the racial barrier- they deserve honors, and respect for who they are- but leave phrases like "original pioneers" for the guys who actually were
@Lord Hentai uhh no.. y'all don't get to determine what's original especially when it comes to hip hop
@@rickiejohnson9744 lol I can't really speak when it comes to hip hop in general. But Run-DMC are definitely rap-rock pioneers. Along with Beastie Boys. Unless you can give me an example of a group who did it earlier.
yes and afrika bambata too
@@rickiejohnson9744 This is a very stupid comment because who did RUN DMC copy? They are original because this group of 3 guys pushed rap music to a global audience. RUN DMC were a game changer they broke down a lot of doors because rap music was only known in the Hood and in the clubs.
Larry 'Bud' Melman takes this video to legendary levels.
That way
I’ll never forget the moment my cousin played this song for me while we were camping when I was 11. It was the first rap song I’d ever heard and kicked off a lifetime love of the genre.♥️
First
Who are your favorite modern rap artists? Jw from someone hearing this for the first time🤪
Can't stand the new stuff. Give me stuff like Erik B and Rakim, EPMD, etc over this new era.
That's a great story. I wish I could remember the 1st rap song I heard. Been a hip hop head since 1989. I do have a list of songs mainly rap that I remember hearing for the 1st time. Those memories never leave you.
Today's rap sucks.
The inventors of rap rock. Love this genre.
That was Rick Rubin actually ;-)
@@IUsedToBeAPygmy true, but you got to admit Run DMC was dope as fuk for jumping on Beats like this. Like this was a big gamble for them. They're from the streets of New York City. people in the hood might not have embraced this but they were so dope that it worked
@@IUsedToBeAPygmy .......How so?
@@urbancommute5239 Because Rick Rubin was the producer who actually came up with this rap/rock combination.
@@IUsedToBeAPygmy .......Not sure of this, I can remember run dmcs cousin discussing this combination.
"D for never dirty MC for mostly clean " diffren era.
Back when black musicians were positive role models
A better era
bud389
And not modern eminem with a different skin color
I always loved that line. Degrading into profanity or sexual content shows you have nothing prolific to add to the collective consciousness.
No true fact but ok
2024 still the King 👑 s
This is song still has relevance in 2023, the song hits hard without vulgarity so it can be done no matter what the music industry says.
No criminal stuff
@@willhaynes2190 facts.
FACTS.🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Never forget Eddie Martinez (also known for playing with Robert Palmer) for his kick ass riffs, soaring leads, and his massive Metalesque guitar tone on this track AND Rock Box. Imho he is one of the most important (and underrated) guitarist of the video music era!
This is the hardest song without cursing ever made
Simon Stone I remember I had a ep by rundmc and there was a track called proud to black that had a lot of cursing in it but still love them too this day
Chandros Evans show us then
"D For never dirty,MC For mostly clean!"😹
Run said "stay the hell back ", with the guitar is his hand..
100
I transform back into that little kid listening to this in my room when it dropped in the 80's. I'm a grown ass man with a framed Run DMC poster on my wall in my office. Goats!
When I was 14 (1985) me and a friend of mine were RUN-DMC in our high school’s lip sync contest doing The King of Rock and won! I really miss the 80’s.
I’m 50 and remember seeing these guys in concert at Astroworld in Houston... showing my son what real rap is!!!!!!
I bet it was better than Travis Scott.
I'll agree with you since I'm 23 and never liked today's century of music, the 1900s was better
👍👍
Lucky you!!!!!
Goddess - preach!
They are still the kings.
Now that was "REAL HIP HOP".
the streets won't forget Larry Bud Melman
BROUGHT TEARS TO MY EYES! I MISS THE REAL RAP LIKE THIS!
I know its over... smh

Me too 😢
When this song rocks more Better than any mainstream rock artist today, that says something.
Sorry it kills
Mainstream being the keyword. Plenty of less relevant artists who go real hard.
Common 💯
Kings From Queens: The Run DMC Story 2024 doc brought me here back down memory lane to my childhood back in the 80z. R.I.P. Jam Master Jay!
Love that solo delivery at 0:39 and the rest of the tune. That guitar player rocks.
People always ask, "DMC, what does it mean?"
D's for never dirty, MC for mostly clean.
#Respect
is that a fact.
Darryl McDaniels
So...should it be NDMC?
TheJofrica
Yes but that ain’t as catchy as the DMC
DMC Stands for devastating mic control.
How can anyone give it thumbs down? These guy's are legendary, song is still bad ass till this day.
Thumbs down are people not from the 1980's.
We all have haters or square ass people 🤣
@@luismrtz5203 Lol! Right...
Fuckin a it's just haters
Those people like mumble rap.
Hip-hop will never have this again
If you were a kid when hip hop was brand new than you know how powerful this was! Classic 🔥… this is why hip-hop is large & still around
“I WALKED ON ICE 🧊 & NEVA FELL, I SPENT MY TIME IN PLUSH HOTELS🏨, I STOOD ON MANY STAGES, HELD MANY MICS 🎤 TOOK AIRPLANE FLIGHTS ✈️ AT HUGE HEIGHTS!!!!!” 😜🎵🙏🏽💕👍🏽😎✊🏾😆👨🎤🗣🤟🏽🤩
No doubt!
This is “a devastating rap”
So under rated. They are one of Godfathers of Rap.
I ran into DMC in Vegas 2016.
He was so kind , spent time with me and my daughter and took photos.
Don’t Stop!!
Bad ass!!!!.
Run-D.M.C were the gods of Rap at one time.
im stil in awe to have witnessed greatness, of seeing them at the Fresh Fest in Detroit Mi, Joe Louis Arena, im now 51 yrs old! thank you Run DmC for great memories of being part of the original movement!
''Sucka MCs call me Sire..''!! That Guitar though!!! Straight Dope fire!!!!!
Guitar leads are ill
***** The guitar player is Eddie Martinez. He played on the the first two Run-DMC albums.
CyrilAndPriscilla
Thank you!!! I love the Guitar part!!
***** At 1:48 Eddie Martinez is on the left playing the red guitar in the blue and white coat.
CyrilAndPriscilla
oh ok, thanx!
Me and DMC went to Rice High School he was in all my classes. He would be the first one finish his work. I use to ask him what you are doing he said I'm writing rhymes I'm going to be famous one day. The rest is history.
That is so cool!
More pleaase................
@@bordemequalsenergy7228 whats not to believe, its not like you were their
@@citykid5837 *there. i suspect you were not first to finish your work.
damn this shit inspiring
Who is listening to this in 2023? Run DMC made history...
Its the energy and its masculinity that's what's missing today !!!!!!
It's one thing to be the king of rock.
It's one thing to be the king of hip-hop.
It's another thing to be both 🙌
OwenHoopz23 elvis the only king
Actually the title of King belongs to Michael Jackson! Just saying!

It’s the best ever!🎤🎸🔥
Man they built the biggest and strongest Bridges with all Races... don't let what they built go to waste
Production is still amazing. Kings of Rap!!
RUN DMC are still the KINGS of ROCK and rap in 2018!
Bob Cummings truly
FAX 2019
of all time..no question 2019
Of 2019...and beyond
Definitely! Today's rap is CRAP
"There's three of us but were not the Beatles" drops hat on head😝
But not on John's head. Was he trying to say George Harrison was really dead and John faked his death?
Bought this cassette when it first came out and am still rocking it some 34 years later.
If it weren't for Run DMC, rap would've died.
Don't forget Rick Rubin.
Amen to that
License to Ill (album) and walk this way.
so did i ......AND I STILL HAVE IT
LOL
AND... IT STILL WORKS
A timeless classic
When DMC (my ace) says, " ... to be an MC we got what it take. Let the poppers pop, and the breakers break. ... " I tear up every time. I was a breaker: top 5ive. "Crescent City Breakers" 7th w/d
YESSSSS INDEED!!!!!
Please tell me your still breaking.
Carrying windbreakers in a pouch
Never be embarrassed about having heart, my man. 😉
🙌🙌🙌
There's absolutely nothing in hip hop that changed the game quite like this. 100% forever.🙌
Truth!
This is Rap, zero Mumble herer
'Walk this way' and Rick Rubin's masterpiece album 'License to Ill' too.
Sucker MC's ...
DMC introduce the leather jackets and chains in hip hop
Them first 4 bars tho... 💪🏿 Most classic.
I just love the faces on the guitarist, just having the time of his life. great song too
The guitarist is shredding that shit up!!!
Eddie Martinez is the guitar player. He played on their first two albums. He's also a well-known session player, played on a bunch of albums you probably know.
Hell yeah, Eddie Martinez is awesome.
That baseline is legendary
THIS was the hip hop I remembered. I truly miss this era. No girls jumping around, no partying, no cursing, just 2 men and 1 DJ.
I'm 34, I've listened to this so many times throughout my life. Just noticed the woman with the cowbell.
DMC stands for Devastating mic control

What I love about this video is that NO SWEAR words were needed!! RDMC were classic story tellers. Just the way rap was originally invented! Not about $$$$ not about bitches and hoes they fucked and their own brethren they murdered! RDMC are classic, classy and deserve much respect
Well said, BTW you are hot.
becca latina Yeah !!! DMC & Tone Loc were the only rappers I loved. RUN DMC paved the way, too bad it went bad.
***** it all SUCKS lil Wayne BS so not for me. I appreciate rappers like Tupac who had something relevant to say. I'm a metal head and story telling is everything and Baby is just not in the vocabulary and foul language is not needed, the words are powerful enough
becca latina hell yeah ;)
becca latina Agreed!!
Lyrics:
I'm the king of rock, there is none higher
Sucker MC's should call me sire
To burn my kingdom, you must use fire
I won't stop rockin' till I retire
Now we rock the party and come correct
Our cuts are on time and rhymes connect
Got the right to vote and will elect
And other rappers can't stand us, but give us respect
They called us and said we're gettin iller
There's no one chiller
It's not Michael Jackson and this is not Thriller
As one def rapper, I know I can hang
I'm Run from Run-DMC, like cool from cool and the Gang
Roll to the rock, rock to the roll
DMC stands for devastating mic control
You can't touch me with a ten foot pole
And I even made the devil sell me his soul
Now we crash through walls, cut through floors
Bust through ceilings and knock down doors
And when we're on the tape, we're fresh out the box
You can hear our sound for blocks and blocks
For every living person we're a purple treat
It's me and DMC, Jay where's the beat?
Now we're the baddest of the bad, the coolest of the cool
I'm DMC, I rock and roll. I'm DJ Run, I rock and rule
It's not a Trick or Treat and it's not a April Fool
It's all brand new, never ever old school
You got the music in your body and you can't comprehend
When your mind won't wiggle and your knees will bend
Music ain't nothin but a people's jam
It's DJ Run-DMC rockin without a band
Now I walked on ice and never fell
I spent my time in a plush hotel
I stood on many stages, held many mics
Take airplane flights, at huge heights
So all you sucker MC's, you gotta say please
Cause when he jumps high, I'm pulling down weeds
Got a song so strong, it's knocking down trees
Is it hard to believe it's Run-DMC
I am from, around the way
And Run goes to school, every day
And Jay plays the records he has to play
And we get down with no delay, HEY!
I rock the party with the words I speak
And Run says the rhymes that are unique
And Jay cuts the records every day of the week
And we are the crew that can never be beat
So don't try to diss me, try to be my friend
Cause if you do, you'll get yours in the end
The rhymes we say, shall set a trend
Because a devastating rap is what we send
Every jam we play, we break two needles
There's three of us but we're not the Beatles
My name is Darryl, you can call him D
You can call me Darryl Mack, or you can call him DMC
People always ask, "DMC, what does it mean?"
D's for never dirty, MC for mostly clean
Like we said before, we rock hardcore
I'm DJ Run, I can scratch. I'm DMC, I can draw
And now we got the knack, to attract
Our rhyme's an aphrodisiac
We'll reign on your brain and rock your knot
When it comes to rock, give it all we got
To be MC's, we got what it takes
Let the poppers pop and the breakers break
We're cool cool cats, it's like that
That's the way it is, so stay the hell back
We're causin hard times, for sucker MC's
Cause they don't make no songs like these
PERIOD!
Eh. You got them mostly right.
@@Jojoburns26😂
Between this and Rock box they were the true pioneers of rap and hard rock fusion. No help from Aerosmith needed. People who think Kanye West is the future of rap, well it's a gloomy future. RUN DMC were/are the past, present and future of rap music. They will forever be timeless. Everyone regardless of race, gender, age, religion and nationality loves their music. They're all inclusive, no alienating people based on religion either. Their music isn't sexist, vulgar or explicit, glorifying being a bigot or thug. They can be proud of the rich and amazing legacy of musical greatness they've created. Coolness personified. RIP to Jam Master Jay, may your killer eventually be brought to justice.
Priceless, these guys were able to express their thoughts verbally without cursing, or using the N-WORD !!!
yeah,its a breath of fresh air, ,,,....FRESH
Mark M. Well we had to hear it from y’all for 400 yrs
One of kind and i lived thru it.
@Mark M. Oh, great-another white person who thinks they get to decide how black people refer to one another. Speaking as a white person you should just shut up. You don't get to say what is OK and what isn't when it comes to black people retaking a word used to oppress them and transforming it.
@Mark M. Also demanding reparations and pointing out oppression isn't 'victimhood' or 'playing the victim'. People of color have been oppressed in the US for hundreds of years. They legit have the right to hold white people accountable.
this song was harder/heavier than most glam-metal and hair-metal albums
👁️👄👁️
Noo.
There were other songs with heavier guitar like Walk this Way with Aerosmith, Miss Elaine, Raising Hell, and Tougher than Leather
Ah yes, the "I never listen to metal, but this rap rock song is heavier than that music" comment
Have you ever heard of Van Halen? Billy squire?
Fusion of rap and rock great guitar rif great lyrics great beat great song
now this is my favorite RUN DMC song of all times had a chrome shwinn bike and a couple lenos to toke on me and my brother James. Silva doing the damm thing. this was our theme music so we thought 14 years .old what you expect I cherish RUN DMC help me grow up not the most law abiding citizen. in life but I got respect for my fellow man and woman 6 star I still wondering who played the guitar on this track. thanks for the memories
Saw these guys in concert with Kurtis Blow, Newcleus, the Fat Boys, & Whodini in 1984. Still the best rappers of all time!!!!
Wow, I bet that concert was fire!!!
Oh crap! What a line up. Newcleus-Jam on it!

This is real hip hop. These new rappers need lessons!
Been Saying ....
Fact
I love this song and yes it's real hip hop, but you got to admit they mix a lot of Rock guitar in it. I remember when rap was brand new it really sounded a lot like Disco. In the 80s rap came into its own kind of like rock and roll in the '50s.
Real talk
True
The Kings of Rap, RIP Jam Master Jay!!!
You have to realize they also had to learn each other's lines and it was still in sync.
My guys were the band that introduced me to rap music( a white girl in her mid/late 20s back then). Still my favorite rap/hip-hop group (even before everyone else started jamming). Love from Maine, USA 💕💕💕👍👍👍
