release notes
"Without question the single most important group in hip-hop's colourful
history, Queens trio Run-D.M.C. have influenced practically everyone who came
after them. Breaking barriers in both sound and sales, their charismatic flows
and ground-breaking production took the music industry by storm, turning an
entire generation on to the magic of rap music.
From their first single in 1983, "It's Like That" b/w "Sucker MC's," their
distinctive style put them in high regard with fans and fellow artists alike.
Jam Master Jay sets the pace with raw, in-your-face drum beats and fierce
scratching, while Run and D.M.C. unleashed aggressive and boastful tag-team
rhymes destined to become classic.
They truly were the æKings from QueensÆ taking hip-hop to MTV and international
stadium tours (unfortunately plagued by outbreaks of violence) at a time when
many critics still fronted on the genre's validity. Between 1984 and 1990 they
released six full albums, appeared in two major films, and churned out a slew
of incredible singles. "Peter Piper," "It's Tricky," and "My Adidas" continue
to move crowds to this day, while the tracks "Rock Box," "King of Rock," and
"Walk This Way" were the first to combine Hard Rock and rap, predating today's
chart-topping Rapcore acts.
They took a few years off and came back hard with Down With The King (1993). In
1999, they released their seventh LP Crown Royal.
Their backgrounds, however, are not those of the stereotypical MC: All three
members are products of solidly middle-class upbringings in the Hollis
neighbourhood of Queens, N.Y., where they learned to adopt a streetwise posture
without abandoning their virtues.
Despite the subsequent negative publicity surrounding the group, Run-D.M.C. are
legendary in hip-hop history and were the first to signal rap's final evolution
from electro- and hi-NRG-dance music to tough drum machine beats and scratching
effects.
However, by the time the trio released its fourth LP in 1988, rap music had
changed considerably. Rock chords and chanted vocals were no longer en vogue,
the lyrical content was more confrontational and complex, and the beats were
more syncopated and sample-based."
