The classic self-titled debut LP from Run-DMC – one that not only changed hip hop, but much of modern pop and
rock forever! There's little we can add to the canon for this record, but the way Run-DMC ushered in a new era in contemporary
urban culture, a harder hitting style of rap that managed to bust out of the inner cities and into consciousness of an entire generation, was unforeseen and never to be duplicated to say the least. You can literally call this album revolutionary without sounding heavy handed, it's something very few artists can ever hope to achieve. Amazing! Tracks include "It's Like That", "Sucker MC's", "
Rock Box", "Jay's Game", "Hard Times", "30 Days", "Hollis Crew", "Wake Up", and "It's Like That".
