One of the greatest hip hop voices ever. His voice was so distinct, there was no mistaking it. Salute!

Run DMC just might be the most influential group in all of Hip Hop!

@@dddlll2471 Money came to hip hop because of Run DMC. THEY were the group that took hip hop out of the "community" to the rest of America. THAT was when hip hop started REALLY becoming lucrative. "Walk This Way" had white kids, for the first time, blasting hip hop music in their Daddy's Monte Carlos when I was coming up in Brooklyn..

I get it. Song reference. You're smart. And right.

Awesome. Much love for DMC, Run and Jay. Hip hop royalties.

Hip hop music is dull now.. that's a perfect way to put it. I agree totally.

DMC Is Telling the fucking truth about hip hop!!

I'm currently in radio and I'm telling you that DMC nails it right around 5:05 and on. It's sad. The days of real radio creativity, as he describes it, is GONE! He's so right on! And it's sad.

DMC...THE ALL TIME GREAT...He's 100% right about everything he said...the 80s and 90s were THE BEST ERA EVER...

JMJ....... RIP.........I love DMC consistency....... NO ONE WILL EVER DO WHAT THEY DID....................if you have half an ear or brain or heart for the artistry of music......there are no replacements for the masters. Their are those that copy, try to imitate,, but no matter what u try its not the same.... I give Run and D mac props... Its not about limiting life.... its about there is only ONE..... and when you try to pile on crap to clone it...... its still crap...... FU mind.... this is heart........

In October of 1999 I got to see Run DMC at Loyola University in New Orleans. I had such a great time at that show.

Run dmc was the best.

TRUTH!!!!!!! DMC IS A TRUE HIP-HOP PURIST!

Run-DMC - "Greatest Hits"=#1 MUST-HAVE rap album, ever. DMC is SO right about everything he's saying, and that's nice to hear. DMC=THE ALL TIME GREAT!!! I actually kicked it with Run-DMC/JMJ, backstage...JUST THE FOUR OF US. It's was a dream come true. It was in 80's "King Of Rock" Tour. I wish EVERYONE could have been there (80's) when Run-DMC/JMJ dropped. Like a new dimension was invented.

I will pay to listen to this man's channel a living legend then if you add run that would better than any concert today.

Thanx for DMC før the Jewels!!

Well said DMC! When was naming off many of the classic hip hop artists I was thinking about how,each of them had their OWN style and flow. None of them sounded like the other. Not like today with cookie cutter acts with the same sounds, tempo and generic presentation. I respect DMC and Run for knowing it's not RUN-DMC without Jam Master Jay!

Run-DMC was part of the second wave of hip hop...the real old school was Cool Herk, Grandmaster Flash, Kurtis Blow, Whodini, Afrika Bambaata, Spoonie G and etc

You're right, but Run Dmc and Jay took it to the next level, made it cool to have some plain ass Adidas...you'll never see that again, ask Michael Jordan.

Jam Master Jay was a class act. He NEVER received billing. It was never billed 'RUN DMC and Jam Master Jay' it was always RUN DMC. He could've beefed about that but he never did. That's class.

He didn't need physical billing. If you just listened to their music, they gave him top billing in almost every song. Listen back to the first album, almost every 3rd verse is about or has a shoutout to how badass Jam Master Jay is. He was the first one to be the subject of one of their songs. DMC doesn't get one of those until King of Rock, referring to the album itself, and Run's is not until Tougher than Leather. Run and DMC never let Jam Master Jay forget that how important he was. Even to this day it's true, find the interview where someone asks DMC about why there will never be new Run DMC stuff. His answer is, "They murdered my band.".

Aprilia is correct. Jam Master Jay was like Grandmaster Flash. The MCs supported the true star and everyone knew it was all about Jay. All of their songs were about Jay.

I ran security for a club that had them play...stood 5 ft away from jam master jay.....couldn't believe my eyes .... Fucking amazing....he had more talent in his pinky than most DJ's today in there whole body....

Amazing conversation. So glad to hear his voice sounding easy and lacing us with knowledge.

droppin' straight facts!

Rip jam master jay you were a legend

DMC is on point.Hip-hop is now Hip-Not!

Hip hop got hi-jacked by idiots. Hip hop used to bring people together. Doug-e fresh used to rap about positive topics. Break dancing was fun and we didn't give a shit about color. All we cared about was a good floor and the right jam. Then colors came on the scene back in the late 80's then everyone wanted to be a flipping gang-banger. Thanks a lot ICE-T for your contribution. Thanks for the legacy NWA. I watched a movement start out positive, unified and just fun to be apart of. Now look at it! It's a mother fucking disaster!

For me, I can never take the side of blaming the artists. It's not the artists' fault that people want to listen to their music over others. They just make it but people have a choice for what they listen to so society deserves the blame as well.

Wow nice conversation and made me smile with those stories from back then. Lol jay was the band with only 2 turntable and a backpack full of records.

Love the interviews with the legends. Need to see more of them!! It's refreshing to get a break from the weak a** artists out right now. Respect people like DMC who paved the way for the future. As much as I hate the weak ones, at least they were smart enough to get inspired by the masters of the game.

Right on DMC! Well said.

Jay's like King Midas, as i was told, everything he touch turns to gold. When i saw him play, i said "God DAMN that DJ made my day!!"

The early days were sooo different. The early 80's stuff had the same fire as early punk rock. And just like punk, the new stuff is safe & weak.

DMC. Hip-Hop legend, historian, professor.

....i’ve felt for some years now that it would be so iLL for J’s son to do a tour with D & Run....i think the culture would embrace it and support it ...i know i would!

9:45 IS WHERE DMC SAID I'LL PERSONALLY KICK YOUR ASS OUT OF HIP HOP MYSELF

This man a truth speaker and a national treasure. Utmost respect..

hes right theres a void there without Jam master J.

His absolutely right…. And I love ❤️ you Jam Master Jay 🕊

When DMC speaks about Hip Hop, one would be wise to listen

One of the best groups in Hip Hop

I said this years ago, that I thought Hip Hop was being rubber stamped. I even went as far as writing a college 20 page paper called "The Problem With Hip-Hop." I gave a presentation in class and the younger classmates totally disagreed with me. This was 7 or 8 years ago. Most of my classmates and colleagues didn't realize that I was a musician and had been a guitarist and keyboardist since I was 7 years old. I saw the trajectory of the current hip hop and pop scene and it started to sound homogenized to me. I totally agree with this video.

Word up man old school for ever man no discussion of that.🤘🤘🤘🤘😎😎😎😎

I can't even follow what DMC explained as he said it perfectly FACTS! It saddens me that the real hip hop pioneers got so F%^KT when they brought this music to the people and now they have exploited and cookie cutter manufactured artificial autotuned music today that people call "Hip Hop". I'm not saying it's all bad but most of the pioneers are literally broke and I feel so bad knowing that contracts and better management today with the help of technology has found it's way in the music main stream. As a 56 year old man understand this! I'm not a hater of todays music, I'm just a guy that was awaken by the perfect beat and today I still can't find anything on the radio that brings the magic. I guess life is about evolution but dam it's hard to accept it sometimes.

THE KING THE RULER THE RULER RULE. GODBLESS YOU AND YA FAMILY KING..

Main reason why i fell outta love for todays rap. Fake ass wanksters teaching kids its cool to be hardcore, gun toting, drug selling thugs. Get the fuck outta here, this isn't what rap was meant for, this isn't why rap was created. In the great words of James brown & Afrika Bambaataa. PEACE! UNITY! LOVE! AND HAVING FUN! True school for life. JMJ R.I.P & D you the man, well said. PEACE!!

He spoke the truth and sad part is hop hop only got worse years after this interview.

I am who i am you are who you are okay life goes on yes I was buying all of the music. Facts

my adidas, we wore puma, and adidas joggers, damn them was the days .

I have known Run DMC casually all of my life. My oldest brother went to elementary school with Run and DMC. Jay used to live around the corner from me. When I saw them, they would ask how my brother was. My other brother was the one who told me that Jay was killed. I had passed by the location of Jay's studio on my way home from work. I would have never imagined that he would be killed hours later.

OG Darryl Mack 🎵 🎤 one of the best ever

He defined the evolution of music, well worded,bro

oh so true DMC........

The first track i recorded off the radio was sucker mc's, i played the tape so much it snapped at the start so i opened it up and managed to reconnect the tape to the real so there wasn't any blank space that tapes used to have at the start so as soon as you hit play sucker mc's started :D

All the more reason i roll with the Old school

"There it is!!" we be all hype over the shit tupac says in an interview. but notice dmc never said any thing dark and knuckle headed.

He got that right when he mentioned that JMJ showed case as a celebrity but if u analyze it nowadays none of these hip hop DJs are not out there as these EDM DJs if u know what i mean? I mean, these European DJs especially from Hollad are the biggest celebrities in the world right now making million of dollars per concert something that a Hip hop DJs i think never done or in this era will never do.

I Luv Hearing That Dee. R.I.P. Larry Smith & JMJ

His voice is so different

Real Talk...Great interview....

Awesome Awesome interview................

Jay proved DJ's could do concerts like a rock star... before even Kid Capri. Legendary club music DJ's like Jellybean who was around at the same time as Run-DMC didn't even do that until Jay did it.

DMC forever

Who says today's rap is hip hop more like flip flop 80's and 90's era was real hip hop and still til this day I rock with it there's nothing like the classic stuff

the fact that the interviewer didn't know what the buckle meant, made me cringe!!!! lmaooo

"Took a test to become A MC and didn't fail". Most rappers today would fail that test. Today's hip-hop is trash.

Truth

Crush Goovin' Body movin' nonstop hip hop!!!!

I always remember that real HipHop, it's standards, artistic integrity and dignity, only gets better with time...or it ain't HipHop at all.

Kick off ya shoes!!!! 🔥🔥🔥

Brilliance personified after NYC gave up the crown lyrical standards of rap fell of. sad thst most young blacks don't know who u r. teens in the 80s & 90s were more intellectual & creative than today's rappers in there 20s

WORD !

Rest in peace jmj

nuff respect to Master D

I don’t know hip hop but i can understand where DMC is coming from when he says hip hop sounds and looks the same and that old school was better and more original. I can sympathize because the same thing happened to rock, i’ll explain: when DMC said back then they had nwa, run dmc, de la soul, ice t, eric b and rakim also public enemy, big daddy kane etc. They were the same people but making different, original music with a more unique sound and D knows this and he’s right. In the classic rock era (the rock equivalent of old school hip hop) you had the beatles, the rolling stones, the who, cream, deep purple, led zeppelin, black sabbath and queen etc. They each were the same people, same artists but putting their own sound into their music where you could know from the first few seconds just who the artist was. There was none of the “oh they sound like such and such” no, they sounded like themselves. Funny how history tends to repeat itself. Then again, it’s just my opinion.

Murder still isn't solved...damn shame
