Get To Know H.E.R.

Moving right along, after yesterday’s absent post (not that any of you probably cared), we reach the profile of a true legend: Run DMC. The group, which is comprised of Jospeh “Rev Run” Simmons, Darryl “DMC” McDaniels, and Jason “Jam Master Jay” Mitzell (R.I.P.), is without a doubt, one of the greatest not only in hip hop but music in general. I think they’re probably the most popular pre 90s hip hop group there is. People may not know Whodini. They may not know Grandmaster Flash. But they sure as hell know Run DMC.

That’s for good reason too. Run DMC embodied the quintessential B-Boy, which in those days meant that they lived, breathed, and ate hip hop. And it showed in their music. Their first album was considered classic when it came out and is still held in high regard. Forget the fact that one of their members have now passed away, another’s sold his soul to reality TV in an attempt to remain culturally relevant, and who even knows what the hell DMC is upto these days. Back in the old days, they were the shit.
