YO YO MY BROTHER YOU AIN'T HEARING NOTHING FROM ME KID IF YOU MISSED DA LYRICS IN 83 WE I GOT TO TELL YOU SOME PEOPLE LOST PARTNER BIG UPPS BLESS UPPS FLAT BUSH STILL HERE
It is THE iconic opening line that created the crayze. I was in Jr High when this came out--a kid from El Salvador was singing this in woodshop while working the disc sander. He could barely speak English, but the boy had all the lines down. That's when you know your shit is worldwide! Run DMC weren't the first (props to Sugar Hill, Kurtis Blow, and all the brothers working the NYC rap scene) but they broke through the ceiling and made this a global phenomena.
@@josephblanchard6248 Because music is eternal. In 100 years you will be so old and look completely different but this song will stay the same even after you die.
Everything in this video is the TRUE essence of HIP HOP, the Breakin, the Graffiti, the Dj, the Gear, the Music this is what you call HIP HOP not the watered down Industry controlled stuff thats out nowadays, Thumbs up for the Real HIP HOP HEADS
Funny how they chose not to use any American Black or U.S. Latino B-Boys but instead European ones showcasing how far Hip-Hop had reached and impacted other heads one would not normally think would embrace the culture, especially to such dope precision levels. Love how all 4 Elements of emceein', deejayin', b-boyin', and graff writin' are repped too. And of course, Golden Era Hip-Hop fashion of the 80s and 90s as well. Dope
+171TITO Suburban culture. And "inner city" is an American concept. In Europe the "inner city" is the posh, affluent neighborhoods. It is usually just "the city."
Peter Piper moves the crowd like a tsunami brutha. I love hearing that shit at a club or before a concert. Real hip hope makes you feel some kinda way.
I must have heard this 200 times and it's still as fresh as the day it came out, just so raw, absolutely timeless, was lucky enough to see them at the Brighton Centre England in 1987, great times
@@justynhunter9976 you’re just not looking in the right places. Rap has become so diverse just like other genres of music. There are a bunch of trap artists then there are people like baby keem, j-cole, kendrick, who resemble older rap artists.
Bwahahaha.....you too huh?!?! (LOL) I was a little older than you, but the mind was definitely lost!! (Problem is, I still don't think I've found it..hehehehe)
I was born in DC in 71 & grew up in the DMV ….we were pretty broke but so was everyone else so 🤷🏼♂️it wasn’t a big deal,I’d say from 82-86 Run DMC were the 3 coolest dudes on the planet ….hands down….this was all way before “Walk This Way” which lost them a lot of fans at the time & Eric B & Rakim who scooped up most of the rest….but as most older folks already know….nothing good lasts forever & nobody stays on top forever…it’s happened to all of em…every legend you can think of 🖤🥶y’all be safe
This sadly is when hip hop blew up to its greatest era but didn't last. After Biggie and Pac shit fell off. Breakin Poppin n lockin,graffiti,D.J.ing all these things were woven in the fabric of real hip hop. Does any groups or so called M.C.s even have a scratch,one mutha fu kin scratch on they tracks??? The music these young dudes are putting out now is a form of Rap music but it's like real Hip Hops 3rd cousin who isn't really that related so you might hit it. But you would never make it your girl. I miss the 80s and 90s. I hope I'm alive when the military finally admits aliens and time travel so I can go back to like 84 and check out The Fresh Festival at the Spectrum. So grateful that I got to experience the greatest era of Rap and Hip Hop. That era will never ever be topped. So many M.C.s and groundbreaker groups from that golden age. So if you're somewhere around my age between say 40 to 55 you witnessed hip hop history in the making and it was a fuckin privilege. Peace out ya'll. I'm bout to lookin searching looking for the perfect beat!
I Iove this song by them!! It’s one of my favorite old school hip hop songs ever!!! ❤😊❤😊❤️ 😍 🤩 Run DMC is one of my favorite hip hop rap groups!!! They’re so talented and has done great music!!! ❤😊😊❤😊❤️ 😍 🤩
I don't care what anybody says, but RUN is the most underrated rapper of all time; there wasn't a more gifted rapper who could really spit-out rhymes with such speed, flow and precision as RUN. Hmm . . . I guess his ability wasn't highlighted nearly as much as it could have been, since he was part of a trio.
I remember about to get on the 5 Train at Baychester Ave. My boy Jay S. said you have to hear this new sh.. just coming out. He put his headphones in my ears and I heard a beat I never heard before. Run DMC changed rap forever. True innovators
"I'm DMC, in the place to be, I go to St. John's University/and since Kindergarten I acquired the knowledge, and after 12th grade I went straight to college!" (underneath JMJ's dope scratches)
Still one of top favorite songs of ALL time. I remember when this first came out as a kid. I bought the record and used to play this on my turntable. Shell top Adidas pin stripe Lee's. Born and raised Jamaica Queens NYC!! I still feeling it in 2023
My Dad showed me this song and loved it ever since. He knows the whole song by heart so now when he picks me up from school he's singing and dancing to this song
Damn I was 19 when this song came out back in 83,and if anyone out there remembers the crew days ? Remember the Casanova Lovers at Mapes pool on 180th , there was TDK , Rock steady , Arthur Boys , Sin Bad Brothers, and many more. Shout out to all you brother's from back in those days peace !
Anthony Johnston Wow that's deep , old man lol haha? For you, how old do you think I am? Anyway bru, I'm gonna take that as a compliment. And let me say that all but 4 friends have passed on. Now I can say that a lot of them are taking care of their families and some are locked up. Do you think live the life I've live and live to talk about it ? I really don't think so.
+CASANOVA Lovers 1982 Yeah, I'm just kidding around, don't take me seriously. You elders have experienced the game in ways we never will and have mad stories to tell. You deserve our respect so respect to you and yours.
Anthony Johnston My hat is off to you for that and I thank you for the respect . By the way what do you consider old ? For me old is whatever one thinks and feels about one self . You're only old if you make yourself out to be old . Peace , love and respect to you . Peace I'm outta here .
RIP Jimmy St. Dic who came back from the army with his all-white Lincoln. He connected speakers from his second floor East Flatbush Brooklyn apartment to the street the summer this dropped and played it back-to-back. I already loved hip hop, but I fell in love with this song and the music that summer. Run-DMC one of the greatest to ever do it.
Classic!! This video was made in late 1999 and early 2000 before Jam Master Jay passed away. The video show's the group's footage and breakdancers from the USA and the world were straight up b-boying and showing the world what hip hop is really all about. Point Blank! I believe I saw this on their Together Forever DVD, a collection of the group's music videos from their self-titled debut to 1993's comeback Down With The King. I still own that DVD currently. Otherwise, Crown Royal was ready to put in 2001 and D.M.C. was the only one in the group didn't participate because of his voice problems he had. In my opinion, Crown Royal led the beginning of the end.
..... "YEAH", CAUSE I WAS TELLING MY YOUNGER, NEPHEW, "RUN-D.M.C DID NOT HAVE A VIDEO FOR THIS SONG, WHEN IT WAS OUT", HE THOUGHT I WAS, "BUGGING", THANKS FOR THE INFO.

Hi i'm 16 years old and i approve this song
You 28 now. It still sounds great
Just 1 reminder of the genius of super producer Larry Smith...R.I.P.
Do you know if there is any video footage around anywhere of Larry on the internet for any chance?
One of the most iconic opening lines in hip hop history period!
It's the foundation of hip hop.
WORD!!!!

The greatest rap song of all time.
Time machine me back!!!
"I ain't no joke" by Rakim, but this def top 5
Nope. That would be ***RAPPER'S DELIGHT*** by The Sugarhill Gang :)
Nowhere near it
THIS IS DEFINITELY HIP HOP 🤎
Run had the sickest flow........
Run DMC's music should be taught in schools
DMC is a teacher in Harlem and he does teach.

TO BAD THE WORLD IS SO ANTI BLACK
Black culture baby
Black American Culture that spread across the Globe 🌎
Apart from the Eskimos
Legendary Hip Hop Right Here
Sucker MC Started Modern Hip Hop
When it was released in 1983 or when the video came out in 1999?
One of the best rap songs of all time. From the Godfathers of rap .
Nas, right?

Man, you hut it right on the head. I thought it was just me when I saw this video
People always stay brainwashing ish
Its amazing the impact of black culture on the world.
Inner City culture
+171TITO Suburban culture. And "inner city" is an American concept. In Europe the "inner city" is the posh, affluent neighborhoods. It is usually just "the city."
+171TITO nah black culture mostly. latinos and others helped a lot for sure though
Its amzing to see the impact of white made technology on the world

Been that way for thousands of years. Stuff like this, is just history repeating itself, again.
This song makes me so happy I want to cry. Best beat ever. Next best... Peter Piper.

Yaas! Agree
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!

No useless sounds just pure HIP-HOP!
Happy Birthday To Hip Hop Legend #ReverendRun #JosephSimmons! He Is 60 Today! #RunDMC #RunsHouse
Rest in eternal peace 👑Jam Master Jay ❤ amen.

GANGSTER?? WHERE??
@@eastsidekousky I doubt he meant literally to do with gangsters. Just in case you were serious with your response.
Spice 1 did a great job on this song sample
that beat is still SLAMMIN!!!!! after all these years. We used to be rockin this in the cafeteria back in the day.
I must have heard this 200 times and it's still as fresh as the day it came out, just so raw, absolutely timeless, was lucky enough to see them at the Brighton Centre England in 1987, great times
The roots of rap. It’s amazing how far we’ve come.

1987 my 1st concert! Run DMC world tour Beastie Boys opened up for them 1st time on the scene!!! I will never forget it!!!! REAL HIP HOP!!!

This group NEVER got the "flowers" that they should have received. They are one of the best in the rap game. 🌟
Actually they have gotten their flowers..They are in Rock N Roll HOF..if that ain't a whole bouquet then idk what is

No need to curse, or talk about deranged things, or worse not rhyme and mumble your verses, you just knew by their voices these boys were hard!

I'm normally a rock guy, but that drum beat is still killer though.
Made by a rock producer is why ;)
Run-DMC are the kings of rock, if you are a rock guy you should like them.
King of Rock would be more up your street as it has a lot more Rock elements as an album
than the self-title debut.
