The first rappers in the hall of fame, and it was a fight and really big deal when it happened. It still is a big deal there is only 5 rap groups and 1 single rapper, Tupac.
They were like superheroes. Back then. Larger than life. To see how we dressed every day on t.v. was crazy back then. You had to be there to understand.
We lost our minds because this was just as dope as "Rock Box!" We used to blast that on the box multiple times a day! Still my favorite group to this very day!
RDMC did clean records that's why l liked listening to rap back in the day because most were clean and sounded good we could blast it loud without our parents telling us to cut it off .
@@caliwaiiankev2279 Yeah, I still try to make that song work and it never does, but everyone bobs their head. I also try to make Pusherman work as well, lol.
@@rms5366 All the way back to their first album on the original version of Here We Go they drop a “Motherfucker”, as well as on the song Proud to be Black. I think “Fuck” was said on the song The Ave a few times. They’ll occasionally say the N-Word on the Back From Hell and Down With the King records. I think King of Rock and Tougher Than Leather are their only clean records
The Intro when the old man tells Run Dmc back in 1985'' they did'nt belong In the Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame And then He laughed like he got the last laugh, But its to bad he's not around anymore to see Run Dmc's Induction when they really got Inducted into the Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame back in 2009'' So who gets the last laugh Ha lol...😂🤣😂 Yo I enjoyed the your reactions keep doing your thang bro... And the no cursing you referred to. Back then Hip Hop was still in its Babystages so it was'nt no need to curse because it was all fun And love in those times, And as grown as the rappers looked back then they all were still kids who had respect...😎😎😎
A lot of younger kids wont get a lot of the references in the video as it was a different time period. The guy that was trying to stop Run-DMC from entering the RnR Hall of Fame was a regular character on the Late Show with David Letterman. (Can't remember his name offhand but he was a regular) David Letterman was a New Yorker and supported Run-DMC so when they made the video, they used the actor to play the front door clerk/guard in the intro. He was supposed to represent MTV when they weren't open to playing black music videos. Around that time, David Bowie was interviewed on MTV and Bowie put MTV on the spot and asked them live on air why they were avoiding playing black videos and embarrassed the MTV host. After the video "King of Rock" came out, Run-DMC was working on a movie (Krush Groove) to further push and promote the album. They also were the only rap group that performed at "Live Aid" back to back with the biggest RnR groups at that time but their performance at the show supposedly wasn't aired on TV which further proved their anger to be legit. A year later, they blew up with their biggest selling album and dropped the iconic "Walk this Way" video and MTV couldn't ignore them anymore.
It would have been cold as hell if one of the surviving Beatles members said something in a new song like “There’s two of us, but we’re not Run-D.M.C.” since Jam Master Jay got killed
@@foamybelch run dnc had their adidas special made with elastic on the inside that held their foot in the shoe i had a pair when they came out back in the 80s they were white with red stripes
While being part of the company who made the game grand theft auto vice city, one of the song from run D.M.C. was added to one of the radio stations known as Wildstyle, the song was rock box
They are one of only a few rap groups in the Rock & Roll hall of fame. The little guy, I remember him from David Letterman.. It's really amazing how many people David Letterman highlighted, especially rappers. Don't steel any Run DMC lyrics, all of us that been around for them KNOW, trust me. When they busted out, it was like a middle finger to the "disco rappers" and we loved it. They were "hard" in comparison.
The artist generally were better because there were so many hoops and hurdles. Most of the time you were pretty polished entertaining live before you got near a studio much less put out a record.
Rap was not considered Rock N Roll or even “legit” fully then. Run Dmc was the first to blend rock with hip hop. That wasn’t a race thing. It was a musical legitimacy thing.
Someone might of already said this to you in comments but Run DMC were the first rap artist inducted into rock and roll hall of fame and at time bc it was rap and not rock it was a little controversial! Glad they set a new standard bc they deserve to be there with a lot of other rap artist that should be recognized but aren’t! That’s meaning to the intro to video! Should do some KRS-ON ( song: Loves Going Getcha) or Boggie Down Productions ( song: My Philosophy) which is KRS-OnE as well!
The track was made from Rock music because they were TRYING to cross over! Remember...at this time they didn't play ANY hip hop on the radio. This was their attempt to get play on MTV, which worked. They were the first Rap group on the Rock and roll music station!
No one really cussed on wax back then. West Coast rappers made that big. Ice T.... NWA and Too Short were the main ones I listened to that I’d say pushed that envelope
It was a REALLY big fight when rap got into the Rock hall of fame and of course it was DMC that was the first and busted that wall down. In fact there is only 5-6 rap groups/ rappers in the rock n roll hall of fame. DMC, public enemy, beastie boys, grand master flash, NWA, and Tupac.
They started it all, run dmc and the beastie boyz i always wondered what would happen if they had got together and made an album maaaan im telling you ,wud had been off the scale!!
So glad to see some Run DMC here, Doc. You should react to .. Walk This Way (feat. Aerosmith) & It's Tricky too. And also, when our boy Eminem inducted them into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. I see you rocking this, so bro, check The Beastie Boys' "No Sleep Till Brooklyn". That song is STILL a banger, Rich.
Back in the 70's Hip Hop use to be in Punk Rock clubs. Punk was Some of Hip Hop's early support. Blondie was the 1st white Rapper, although she did Punk Rock, but got cool with the HipHop community.
The thing is, back in the day, you mostly had to have talent in the music industry to have success. There wasn't too many gimmick acts back in the 50's, 60's, 70's and 80's. And you are right, there was really no cursing in early rap until Public Enemy, NWA, and the whole "gangsta rap" movement happened. There was some cursing here and there, but it was pretty clean for the most part. But nowadays, you can have success just from having a gimmick, just look at 69 and the whole mumble rap movement. There isn't any real talent. You can pick up anybody, dress them like a clown, have them act like a clown and these kids buy it right up
Back then rappers made it blatantly clear that they are not pop stars or r&b singers or none of that shit. They had to differentiate themselves so them sayin no I ain’t no Michael Jackson made sense. This is a whole new wave HIP HOP and we ain’t goin NOWHERE. That’s why they’re in the rock and roll museum wrecking havoc lol
That wasn't the REAL MICHAEL JACKSON GLOVE. Tracy Morgan has the real one in his house. The first part before the music starts is just play acting. The rest is just reacting and lip syncing to the recorded track. You could've played the King Of Rock song without the video.
AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They still in this white girls 6 disc changer on my mix tape...... I broke my 1st one with this exact song on it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Man I’m going to have to go sit in my ride and play my mix tape well cd BUT THEM W/ this song, LL COOL J, MISSY ELLIOT, TLC, Tone Loc, Luke (Scarred.....) YEAH MY GEN AND ONE RIGHT BEFORE AND EVEN MY PARENTS, I STILL THROW MY HIP AND BACK OUT...... NO YOU BOUGHT THE TAPES AND LISTEN TO ALL THE SONGS ON IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In another take on one of your statements, very few MCs now and then can do the rock/metal beats right. RUN DMC, Public Enemy, Beastie Boys, Ice Cube, The Game, Kid Rock, LL Cool J... and a few others.....can do it.
What does Elizabeth Taylor, Steve Jobs, Whitney Houston, Neil Armstrong, Donna Summer, Paul Walker, Nelson Mandela, Robin Williams, Joan Rivers, David Bowie, Muhammed Ali, Hugh Heffner, David Cassidy, Aretha Franklin, and Stephen Hawking all have in common? They all died AFTER Michael Jackson. Some of them I know did, but most of them it for some reason doesn't feel like they did.
Of course they didn't curse or say the N-WORD. Neither did KID N PLAY, THE FAT BOYS, THE SUGAR HILL GANG, KURTIS BLOW, SALT N PEPA, BOW WOW, or JAZZY JEFF & THE FRESH PRINCE. That's nothing new. There's quite a lot you're missing.
These guys are the roots of hip hop. Do Rock The Bells or I'm Bad by LL Cool J. Check out Good Vibrations by Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch (Mark Wahlberg)
You cant even understand how big they were when they dropped. Gamechangers.
To call them great is an understatement. May be the greatest hip hop group ever.
Both are spot on!

And Run D.M.C. is in the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame
The first rappers in the hall of fame, and it was a fight and really big deal when it happened. It still is a big deal there is only 5 rap groups and 1 single rapper, Tupac.
Well deserved
As they should be, they pioneered not only rap but rock in its own right.
Without them you wouldn't have the Nu Metal of the '00s.
They were like superheroes. Back then. Larger than life. To see how we dressed every day on t.v. was crazy back then. You had to be there to understand.
The secret of old school music is that they didn't have the internet and video games, just an instrument to keep away boredom.
I remember when this first came out, I was in high school, we were losing our minds over this.
@@foamybelch 😂😂😂 memories!
I was a Sophomore in '85 when this hit. Never heard anything like it. These guys were the real deal. That Rock & Roll HOF invite says it all.
We lost our minds because this was just as dope as "Rock Box!" We used to blast that on the box multiple times a day! Still my favorite group to this very day!
RDMC did clean records that's why l liked listening to rap back in the day because most were clean and sounded good we could blast it loud without our parents telling us to cut it off .
When I heard LL say, "Cuz I ain't met a mutherf-Coker who could do that yet!" made my jaw drop! Couldn't believe he said that but I loved it! 😂
FYI, They were raps first endorsement deal with adidas.
They were the first musical artist to receive a Shoe Deal from an athletic company, because it was part of their look. Adidas approched them.
Remember, 6 N the morning police at my door. Fresh adidas squeak across the bathroom floor. Ice T.

Yes yes. Luv both these bands. 🤘❤️
In my world, in ‘85, the were the biggest thing
FACTS....i remember being on the school bus and we alway was spittin the intro and the walk on ice and never fell line.....memories
Classic classic hip hop rock and rap at its best shout out to Rick ruben
Did not have to curse they had a vocabulary bigger than just that.
they never did up until the crown royal album they didn't use one curse word that I can remember.
@@rms5366 All the way back to their first album on the original version of Here We Go they drop a “Motherfucker”, as well as on the song Proud to be Black.

Check out Run Dmc -Rock Box
That's my favorite of their songs.
This was my favorite song when I was 4.... I'm 40 now and its my ringtone lol!
These are the dudes that made shell toes the shit particularly with no laces!
You see back then m tv refused to play hip hop . This was run dmc giving them the one finger salute
The Intro when the old man tells Run Dmc back in 1985'' they did'nt belong In the Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame And then He laughed like he got the last laugh, But its to bad he's not around anymore to see Run Dmc's Induction when they really got Inducted into the Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame back in 2009'' So who gets the last laugh Ha lol...😂🤣😂 Yo I enjoyed the your reactions keep doing your thang bro...

This group was literally a decade ahead of their time. Literally!
They ushered in a new age.
A lot of younger kids wont get a lot of the references in the video as it was
a different time period.
The guy that was trying to stop Run-DMC from entering the RnR Hall of Fame
was a regular character on the Late Show with David Letterman.
(Can't remember his name offhand but he was a regular)
David Letterman was a New Yorker and supported Run-DMC so when they
made the video, they used the actor to play the front door clerk/guard in the
intro. He was supposed to represent MTV when they weren't open to playing
black music videos. Around that time, David Bowie was interviewed on MTV
and Bowie put MTV on the spot and asked them live on air why they were
avoiding playing black videos and embarrassed the MTV host.
After the video "King of Rock" came out, Run-DMC was working on a movie
(Krush Groove) to further push and promote the album. They also were the
only rap group that performed at "Live Aid" back to back with the biggest
RnR groups at that time but their performance at the show supposedly wasn't
aired on TV which further proved their anger to be legit.
A year later, they blew up with their biggest selling album and dropped the
iconic "Walk this Way" video and MTV couldn't ignore them anymore.
They performed this same song in the 1985 movie KRUSH GROOVE. You never heard this song in the 90s?
Hard Times, It's Like That, You're Blind, Wake Up, Proud to be Black, are MUST listens.
My favorite two RUN DMC tracks are: Can You Rock It Like This and Peter Piper
Peter Piper is soooo Iconic! One of my favorite tracks by the Kings
You're blind and can not see for 30 day's... 😂...oh, it's not funny...
Don't disagree...just too many to pick a favorite
That's the great Larry "Bud" Melman as the guard. Comedy legend!
RUN/DMC Here We Go (Live at the Fun House)...CLASSIC! The Fun House NYC! 🔥🔥🔥
They also said “there’s three of us, but we’re not the Beatles“. In reference to John Lennon being dead. 😳
It would have been cold as hell if one of the surviving Beatles members said something in a new song like “There’s two of us, but we’re not Run-D.M.C.” since Jam Master Jay got killed
@@BlueOysterStan Yessss!
Doc, the video was because of the song rather than the other way around - Run DMC used to F with rock. Do Rock Box next!
The no shoestrings was a run dmc thing they were known for it
@@foamybelch run dnc had their adidas special made with elastic on the inside that held their foot in the shoe i had a pair when they came out back in the 80s they were white with red stripes
Run Dmc by the way always rapped over rock records . When Rick Rueben produced their records he really used that to highlight their talent
While being part of the company who made the game grand theft auto vice city, one of the song from run D.M.C. was added to one of the radio stations known as Wildstyle, the song was rock box

The guy from Letterman is Calvert DeForest, best known by the name of his character on Letterman, Larry “Bud” Melman.

The artist generally were better because there were so many hoops and hurdles. Most of the time you were pretty polished entertaining live before you got near a studio much less put out a record.
This is the first hip hop LP l bought in 1985 and still have it.
I am a white 57-year-old woman now and I have run DMC on albums. Whodini is excellent too. They are old-school rappers.
Most of the cursing on record was started in the west coast
Honestly when these guys hit the scene in the mid 80s it changed the music game...heard king of rock and bought the album the next day
we all went crazy for Run DMC here in NYC
Run DMC always used hard rock beats, I think that's what made them great 👍
Hell Yeah
Rap was not considered Rock N Roll or even “legit” fully then. Run Dmc was the first to blend rock with hip hop. That wasn’t a race thing. It was a musical legitimacy thing.
Well, their spot in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame shows that guy they do belong there
I was in California rocking Run DMC, love it!
Mixing rock with rap sounds so new and cool
Back then Rap and Rock didn’t Mix! RUN DMC CHANGED THAT WITH THIS BEAT!
Someone might of already said this to you in comments but Run DMC were the first rap artist inducted into rock and roll hall of fame and at time bc it was rap and not rock it was a little controversial! Glad they set a new standard bc they deserve to be there with a lot of other rap artist that should be recognized but aren’t! That’s meaning to the intro to video!

You must understand, this was a groundbreaking sound.

As a white guy I loved this album. We used to listening to this album at work every day. It's rap and, rock and roll.
Run DMC is the GOAT rap group
DMC were the Kings back in the day and the Black on Black shell tops were the Air Jordan’s before there were Air Jordan’s
No one really cussed on wax back then. West Coast rappers made that big. Ice T.... NWA and Too Short were the main ones I listened to that I’d say pushed that envelope
You should check out Rock Box. On their first album, first song to add rock guitar to rap.

They started it all, run dmc and the beastie boyz i always wondered what would happen if they had got together and made an album maaaan im telling you ,wud had been off the scale!!
I remember thinking at the time - this shit is SO disrespectful - I love it!!
That water bottle is bigger than life, damn it.
Classic. I saw them in Baltimore in 1998. They were great.
this song SLAMS so hard!!
RIP JMJ
So glad to see some Run DMC here, Doc. You should react to .. Walk This Way (feat. Aerosmith) & It's Tricky too. And also, when our boy Eminem inducted them into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
I see you rocking this, so bro, check The Beastie Boys' "No Sleep Till Brooklyn". That song is STILL a banger, Rich.
How are these old school songs HITS?? Because those artists knew what they were doing and sung about real stuff.

Yes people still wear shell toes Adidas bro. Especially in New York
This the coldest hip hop song too me DMC be gassing but Rev Run one of the coldest all time!!!
Love your reactions so much

They also did Walk This Way with Aerosmith

That's not what he meant. They're RAP in a ROCK museum. GET IT? Then again, this was my generation and we understood.
They broke a lot of barriers. As a metalhead I had avoided rap until they did the crossover with Aerosmith which made me listen to more of them.
When we the artist was the music and the culture and the dress code
...don’t forget to quote DMC.
Back then rappers made it blatantly clear that they are not pop stars or r&b singers or none of that shit. They had to differentiate themselves so them sayin no I ain’t no Michael Jackson made sense. This is a whole new wave HIP HOP and we ain’t goin NOWHERE. That’s why they’re in the rock and roll museum wrecking havoc lol
It was released back in the real HipHop days.

I seen run DMC with Beastie boys back in the early nineties I think. Beastie boys was on license to Ill run DMC was they did that song with Aerosmith
Of course they didn't curse or say the N-WORD. Neither did KID N PLAY, THE FAT BOYS, THE SUGAR HILL GANG, KURTIS BLOW, SALT N PEPA, BOW WOW, or JAZZY JEFF & THE FRESH PRINCE. That's nothing new. There's quite a lot you're missing.

Our music was better because there was no big business heads involved. Rock Box came out before this and is even better lyrically.
