Customer Reviews of Run-D.M.C. - Greatest Hits
Thre dawn of rap With the loss of Jason Mizell, Jam Master Jay, this collection from Run-DMC will serve as a reminder of what rap; hip-hop is suposed to be like.
May Jason Mizell Rest in Peace.
Epic
Hard to say enough good things about the band. Yes, they brought rap into the mainstream, along with The Beastie Boys. Yes, they helped resurrect Aerosmith's career. We won't hold it against them that most rap-metal has been horrible, Limp Bizkit included.
But they were so much more than that. They changed how rap music sounded, with their dense tracks giving rise to a new style. Eventually, the clever use of rock samples produced the Bomb Squad, and the whole Def Jam label. Rick Rubin should get up every morning and thank Run-DMC for his fortune.
As for the songs, this is a much better collection than the previous hits CD. Can You Rock It Like This is a wonderful addition. I would have added You're Blind, Pause and I'm Not Going Out Like That, which show the band's political side. Their message of respect and empowerment should not be overlooked.
But, you can't beat how the CD starts. King of Rock/It's Tricky/Beats To The Rhyme/Can You Rock It Like This.
Get this as an introduction, then go get King of Rock, Tougher Than Leather, and Raising Hell. All 3 are essential.
Jam-Master Jay, RIP.
This it it...
Run DMC emodied everything about rap previous to the debut of gangsta rap. Though I have nothing against gangsta rap it lacked something that Run DMC was teaming with. Perhaps it was their fun-loving attitude, perhaps it was their overall non-offensiveness, or perhaps it was something different all together. Whatever 'this' may have been, it is certain that rappers no longer have it. No rapper or rap group will ever compare to these guys.
Almost every single song on this compilation has either a memorable beat or a memorable chorus. I mean how many rap groups could possibly put an instrumental track on a greatest hits compilation. Jam Master Jay's talent truly shines through on the instrumental track. Although many of the songs sound a little bit similar they are all unique whether it is the content, girls, sneaker, x-mas; or the beats or the attitude of each song. Some songs are boastful like Who's House, and Kings of Rock and some are meek like the famous collaboration Walk This Way. However the point still stands that Run DMC always mamaged to do something different with each of their songs, thus engraving their name into hip hop history and emboding some long lost thing that was never recaptured in hip hop.
