This was the first rap song that really opened my mind to hip hop as a kid. The kids who beat me up listened to Eminem which turned me off of it for years, and i had a brief phase spent acting like classic rock was the only genre of music that exists; but really this song along w/ punk sorta broke me of that. This song led me to Biggie, and Pac, and so damn many others- and eventually many years of recording my own raps in my closet. I couldn't call myself a rapper without this jam, and its such an underrated banger! Thanks Rev!!

I’m on disability and I’m struggling bad with stuff but I love God and your music you were my first tape please pray for me to get the right help I got someone around me trying to drown me and I’ve had a brain injury along with meds that’s been changed
Run penned Paul Revere and a bunch of other tracks from License to Ill… so you are spot on man… Rev is still killing it… you see him freestyle every now and again and you realize… a RunDMC album in 2021 could be exactly what the world needs. Somebody get Russel and Rick Rubin on this immediately. Would LOVE to see Run and DMC tear it up again.
Yeah, the Blacks really like him. 👋🏿🤣 Not any more. He is going to jail. 👋🏿🤣 It is just a matter of t9me. 14 years and beyond and his cameo does not age well.
Jz has no game when it comes to rev he is the king of rap.hi rev hallo to family .rev can you still rap or your to old whanna drop some music! We love you here in Africa .and you are a good father to.love you ❤❤❤❤ 3:05
This on repeat 🔂 over 10yrs during wrkouts......I bawt this bak then Thx Rev I'm more shredded than bruce lee and david goggins. Those r ppl you all may knowww😊
might not be all that popular but RUN is authentic and has his own style. I think it's cool and different than what a lot of main stream is now. Props RUN!
Rev run do you whant to run in Africa because Africa will forever love its children when you come to Kenya halla amo show you around ❤❤❤with all your kids i belive they would like a jangle trip and i will be your Africa Princess sister kiss to mama one love
This song is responsible for getting me into hip hop. Also how cool would it be if you saw a Godzilla sized Rev Run just walking down the street spitting fire. If I had three wishes that would be all three
Madden 2006 miss this kind of rap
Rev Run will forever be the King of Rock in the hip hop game.
Ya right lol hhahahah 😆
Facts

He never lost that voice.
Is it just me, or did Rev go real hard on this track?
Naw Rev killed it
Rev Run go hard on every track
He had to say something to the ppl knocking him. It's all in tbe lyrics, love it!!
Other hit
This whole album is dope. Niggas slept.
Madden 06
Jose Otero

I miss Run's House so much. The kids are all grown up now doing their own thing. I was in 8th grade when this came out man. Time really flies.
i wish this show still aired
RIP Alan Merrill (the songwriter of I Love Rock and Roll).
I love rock n roll, so put another dime in the jukebox baby...
I love rock and roll
So put another dime in the jukebox baby!
REV RUN STRAIGHT KILLIN THE SHOW ....
Underrated song/video!
Old as hell, good as heaven
Made him a strawberry milkshake in NJ yesterday, now how many people can say that? Lol
Me
Pretty much anyone who's made him a milkshake.

People who beat you up listened to eminem?... that's weird.
This song is your introduction to hip hop? Not a good way to start bro

This deserves so much more credit
I remember watchin this when I was getting ready for school on MTV and jammed to it
Same
Now That's Hip-Hop at it's Finest
Right?
Lyrics:
I got my mind up in Boston
Crossin' back from Austin
Fifty more tossed in, callin' so often
Gone from the alley, Cali to the valley
Bronx to the Bowery, flyin' out to Maui
Up and down the highway, Monday to Friday
Saturday to Sunday, every day fly day
Fly from a city to a town and I'm gone
Always on the road 'cause my record's full blown
Livin' out my bag but I'm never missin' home
Papa was a rocker and I'm like a rolling stone
Got another call, yo it's time for the show
Got my mind on the road and yo, it's time to go
It's time for the show
Got my mind on the road
Yo, got my mind on the road
And yo, it's time to go
Like like I'm dazin', days after Days Inn
Comin' from a place that ain't just amazin'
Off to the right and bright light tonight
Take a flight, show's tight, so hype and AIGHT
It's been like I'm dreamin', people just screamin'
A rhyme that I wrote that was dope
They was fiendin'
Lines around the corner, TV's and phoners
Covers of your favorite magazine was a bonus
Road was just callin', flows was just fallin'
Record after record afetr rhyme I was bowlin'
Gotta get the show because Joe is on the flow
I got my mind on the road
And yo, it's time to go
It's time for the show
Got my mind on the road
Yo, got my mind on the road
And yo, it's time to go
Got a flight for tonight and I'm ready to roll
All my homies checkin' fo' me and I'm ready to go
All the people wanna see me
'Cause I'm killin' the show
All the rockers wanna be
'Cause I'm gettin' the dough
Now Rev's hall of fame and left as I came in
Gotta go again 'cause fans want my game in
Top priority, Rev's senority
Goin' on the road 'cause it's my priority, oh
It's time for the show
Got my mind on the road
Yo, got my mind on the road
And yo, it's time to go
RUN always been dope since Beats to the Rhyme.
Video and song are epic
I was running through the playoffs then this track would hit
I love this trap yes Run is all of it old school that's what's up .
this is what all rap should be like.
Living Legend..!
twenty years and still the realest.
Rev for Secretary of Beats.
amazing song GOTTA LOVE THE REV
Rev Run goes hard.
i like how he kept it OLD SCHOOL , RUN DMC FOREVER
Rev Run, literally larger than life, striding through his city like he owns it.
Legend.
He has the best flow
1:48 is Diggy Simmons his son! lol he so little! :)
Yes…
Rev's just looking like "Yea, I hear you, man. But I don't care."
Rev is a legend!!!
Gotta Love REV'S FLOW!!!
So much ferocity in his raps most rappers now or too laid back or high to jus come at you with a mean flow like rev jus displayed.
I’m on disability and I’m struggling bad with stuff but I love God and your music you were my first tape please pray for me to get the right help I got someone around me trying to drown me and I’ve had a brain injury along with meds that’s been changed
This is better than any of the new stuff out now.
Run still got that flow!
The GOAT
This is what I call Real fucking Hip Hop! God damn, this song is goooood!!!
this sounds like something the Beastie Boys would do!
awesome beat!
Beastie boys got their style from Run DMC , they had the same producer
Run penned Paul Revere and a bunch of other tracks from License to Ill… so you are spot on man… Rev is still killing it… you see him freestyle every now and again and you realize… a RunDMC album in 2021 could be exactly what the world needs. Somebody get Russel and Rick Rubin on this immediately. Would LOVE to see Run and DMC tear it up again.
"rev, you still sitting in the same place man." LoL!!! I really like his rapping style, so freaking cool. ^_^ Russell and Rev are so funny!
Damn i miss those beats
REV IS A HIP HOP LEGEND!
rev run is a beast what ashame he never got the respect he deserved his album sales should also be 10000000000000 times better then what they are
Is it just me or does this song hit you like no other in the day
That 3rd verse was so hard.
rap 'n' rock......wowwwwwwwwwww,amazing

This is without a doubt the best fuckin music I've heard in a long damn time!!!
Great. Love you rev... Love the part with the balloons
I love how they're sampling Joan Jett & The Blackhearts' I Love Rock & Roll as the beat. Nice!
Bro Trump having a cameo in this video is what boosts this song from great all the way to legendary statues!

This song is responsible for getting me into hip hop. Also how cool would it be if you saw a Godzilla sized Rev Run just walking down the street spitting fire. If I had three wishes that would be all three
