Run DMC: Raising Hell

Send us a text

Rippin Raps and Rockin Rhymes, the boys from Hollis take us back in time. We hear two or three of these songs today getting blasted at wedding receptions or high school reunions, but the gems are the deep cuts. Dumb Girls may get a bad rap for the name, but I'll be damned if it isn't a catchy tune. You get Nursery Rhymes, relationship drama, revelry, community solidarity and how creatively these themes are expressed in this ground-breaking album that advanced hip hop to the mainstream, arguably, more than any album through collaboration with Aerosmith. We identify "You Be illin" It's Trickyand Walk this Way as our hits. Tune in and hear which of the non-hits we liked best. 

Enjoy!
