Tougher Than Leather: The Rise of Run-DMCHidden Souls 2
I never got caught up in the arguments of who the greatest rapper is. For that matter, who is the "greatest" of anything? For me, people do wonderful, fascinating things. Sometimes, they leave an impression on you that lasts for a lifetime. When I think about the history of Hip Hop and Rap, I can't do so without thinking of Run D.M.C. For me, these guys cemented rap music as a viable form of expression for urban youths. Yeah, back in the day we all wanted to be like Run, D.M.C., and definitely like Jam Master Jay! Who can forget the tracks "Sucker MCs", "Peter Piper" or the coolness of "Rock Box"? If dope ever spun on wax, it rotated to the sounds of this crew.
Not only was their music very cool, this rap group had their own style of dress. Everything from the shell topped Adidas sneakers to their trademark leather jackets, and Lee jeans. Personally, I never got into dressing like them but I always wondered if the aforementioned companies paid them to promote their line of clothes. Albeit, no one ever accused these guys of being the greatest rappers. Even now as I listen to some of the songs I have to admit quite a few of the lyrics are rather corny. Corny as they may seem, they always remind me of the days when rap artists were creative and not formulaic. There was a time when the rappers and DJs could be cool, expressive, and not so misogynistic and foul. Yeah, those days existed and it wasn't too long ago.
I think I'll forever love Run D.M.C. For me this is where it all began and it's nice to revisit the old scene every now and then. Here's to the memories.

Title: GREATEST HITS
Street Release Date: 09/10/2002
Genre: RAP/HIP HOP
Is Run-DMC the most important group of the past 25 years? Well, if you believe that the rise of hip-hop is the most significant musical development in a quarter century, what other conclusion can you draw? Though they may not have been responsible for the birth of rap, the Hollis, Queens, trio represents the genre's coming of age. They were the ones who brought what was largely a regional street phenomenon to the masses. The rhymes, the beats, the style, the attitude--Run-DMC introduced it all to the world. Focusing mostly on the group's first three albums--each of them a cornerstone of rap music--this 18-track collection is a reminder of a time when rap enjoyed a kind of childlike innocence: their boasts are forceful but not angry; the beats are simple but exciting; the overall effect (fueled by heavy-metal riffs) is edgy and aggressive, but not violent or destructive. But most of all, it's fun. In the 1990s, rap artists would take Run-DMC's ideas to wide extremes, but the roots of this next generation--gangsta rap's street realism, political rap's social agendas, rock-rap's antagonism--are found right here. Run-DMC--like almost all pioneers from Elvis to Louis Armstrong--suffered a period of irrelevancy when they were looked upon as quaint or outdated, but, their time will come. Rest assured, this is not '80s retro kitsch. --Marc Greilsamer
