Run DMC (DJ Run, Darryl Mac & Jam Master Jay ) were one of the pioneers of hip hop. In tribute I will post my top 5 Run DMC tracks.

[K Douglas]

#4 - Sucker MC's (from their debut album Run D.M.C. released in 1983)

 

[K Douglas]

#3 - Run's House (from 1988 album Tougher Than Leather)

 

[K Douglas]

#2 - Beats To The Rhyme (from the album Tougher Than Leather)
One of the best uses of the infamous Nautilus sample

 

[K Douglas]

#1 - Peter Piper (from the 1986 album Raising Hell)
One of the sickest beats in hip hop history. Take Me To the Mardi Gras sample is straight fire.

#2 - Shook Ones Pt II
No question one of the greatest beats in hip hop history

#1 - Survival of the Fittest
Grimy New York street hip hop at it's finest. Ain't no such thing as half-way crooks.

Well at least rap feuds are becoming more civil, battle with poetry not guns.

Apparently the musical "Ain't Too Proud To Beg" about the golden era of The Temptations is coming to Toronto in October through mid November. Well received in the US. Should be worth seeing.
