Music reviews of Tougher Than LeatherMusic Review: A Masterpiece Follow-Up To Raising Hell!
As a kid born into the early 70's, in which the roots of hip hop were soon to come, & contrary to popular opinion, many fail to realize that 'Raising Hell' was definitely a tough act to follow, which many still believe (including myself) to be the Greatest Hip Hop Album of all time! Nevertheless - compared to other rap albums of '88, Tougher Than Leather clearly deserves 5-star status. The era had already begun, where everyone was dubbing vs. going out & purchasing albums in stores. So it's unfair to categorize this album as "subpar" by Run-DMC's standards/record sales. Just the intro alone with Run's House would prove to be a catchy theme throughout the test of time - just ask MTV in 2009. OMG - BEATS TO THE RHYMES hands down is one of best displays of Emcee'ing/DJ'ing combos you'll ever witness on ANY hip hop track, including Run's delivery (not to sleep on DMC's) which was intense, electrifying, and unprecedented amongst emcees of the era. Quite frankly, you can't listen to tracks 1-9 without head bobbin to the rhymes & historical beats. The only disappointment on this album in my opinion...Miss Elaine. They'd already achieved major success in crossover tracks on each of the first 3 albums. Miss Elaine just didn't have the same flare or knock. If you're a true hip hop head, this cd (along with Run-DMC, King of Rock, & Raising Hell) is definitely a MUST ADD to your collection.
