Run-D.M.C. - Run-d.m.c.

Release Date:01/20/2017;Notes:Vinyl LP pressing. In a musical world where heated debates rage constantly, here is a statement that no one can dispute - Run-DMC is one of the most important and influential groups in rap history. Forming in the early '80s and guided by Russell Simmons (who was, of course, Run's brother), the three-man unit were lyrical and musical pioneers from their first, Larry Smith-helmed foray: 1983's "It's Like That, " with the world-shaking b-side, "Sucker M.C.'s." With a string of gold and platinum albums that started with Run-DMC in 1984 and ran through 1988's Tougher Than Leather, the trio changed the course of music (videos, youth culture, and more) and ruled the genre outright, boasting sales numbers that were neck-and-neck with manufactured pop stars of the day. Part of their charm was their every-man appeal - they didn't dress like rock stars, and they didn't act like them either. They just made amazing music.;Track List:1. Hard Times 3:53;2.
