The beat is sampled from a song called “Take me to the Mardi Gras” by jazz musician Bob James. LL had recorded Rock the Bells using this sample but RUN DMC was already using this in their live shows so Russell refused to release the LL version and he recorded it again with what we have now, and the rest is history! I think they all came away ok but Bob James needs some respect on his name too!

The year was 1986 when I first heard this song walking into my cousins house in West Covina. They had this song rocking on the 2 turn tables. My mind exploded at how dope the beat was as my cousin was looping it and scratching to the beat. This was Hip Hop at its finest. Run DMC were the kings of rap at that time.

Mind blown. Took me five days to find a record store that had the album. Made tapes for all the homies and it was all we listened to for weeks and weeks.

I wish they worked 2x harder around when this album came out and later. What happened to Jay is sickening. He knew what he was doing was wrong. It's right there in the lyrics again and again. I'm glad he finally got justice in court. RIP JMJ. Bless you Run and D. You're both eternal heroes of the sport.
