Product Description

Amazon.ca

"Rock Box" from Run-D.M.C.'s debut, pretty much says it all. A rap song with heavy-metal guitar riffs, it announced a new era by denouncing what had come before, in both word and deed. The rhyme "Cuz Calvin Klein's no friend of mine /Don't want nobody's name on my behind" dismissed the usual exhortations about zodiac signs and designer clothing. "Just snap your fingers and clap your hands / Our DJ's better than all these bands" is as telling: Instead of recording with a band, like the Sugarhill Gang and Kurtis Blow before them, Run- D.M.C. were the first to use only a beat box and a DJ--the way the music originated, on the streets of Harlem and the Bronx. The first rap album released as such (and not merely as a collection of 12-inch singles), it was also the first rap release to certify platinum. With classics like "It's Like That", "Hard Times", "Sucker M.C.'s" and "30 Days", this album is nothing short of revolutionary. --Suzanne McElfresh

5.0 out of 5 stars Hip hop's FIRST CLASSIC allbum April 15 2004
By Wayne Maye
Format:Audio CD
I can go ON and ON about what Run-DMC has meant to hip hop AND music in general. If it wasn't for them, hip hop would probably not be enjoying the fruits of its labor at this moment. Run-DMC emerged and changed hip hop forever, and it all started with this album, the first of many hits from this legendary trio. Here's the review:

Album Highlights: Hard Times, Sucker MCs, Rock Box, and It's Like That.

Production: Thumbs up, old school at its very best.

Lyrics and Subject Matter: Thumbs up, they were truly one of a kind.

Originality: Thumbs up, not too many people were coming like Run-DMC.

The Last Word: What a powerful beginning for perhaps the greatest trio in hip hop history. Run-DMC set tremendous trends with this debut, and you can tell that they were having the time of their lives with this album. A STRONG RECOMMENDATION for this album.
