Chuck D said Run-DMC were the Beatles of hip-hop. Here is one validation of his statement. In 1965 when it was unheard of, the Beatles performed the first large stadium concert in front of 56,000 in New York's Shea Stadium. Rock became a stadium genre. In 1985, when it was unheard of, 2 billion people watched a rap group named Run-DMC on television. Hip-hop became global.
@@Nirvananerz I actually read this fact from an article i read about 3 years ago, and i really dont remember what website published it. But hopefully you can find the link to the original article.
@@paulgtrejos DUDE!!! Look what I found.... its from a newspaper article from 1985 "Contractual obligations with Worldwide Sports and Entertainment Inc., which provided all radio and television feeds of the concert, stipulated a certain number of pledge inserts per hour and an inflexible concluding time. But MTV could have negotiated an agreement that permitted more coverage, live or taped, of certain acts. Finally, MTV could have been more careful about the implicit messages it sent with its coverage. None of the solo black acts at Live Aid had their performances presented live, in their entirety, on MTV. The Four Tops, B.B. King (from Holland), Billy Ocean, Sade, Run-D.M.C., Ashford & Simpson with Teddy Pendergrass and Patti LaBelle - all were delayed, joined in progress or abandoned in mid- performance. In fact, the only black performers whose music was relayed start to finish by MTV were "sponsored" by white acts: Bo Diddley and Albert Collins were there with George Thorogood, Branford Marsalis accompanied Sting, David Ruffin and Eddie Kendricks harmonized with Hall & Oates, and Tina Turner strutted with Mick Jagger (although she, alone among them all, could have wangled a solo spot easily). Plenty of white acts also were delayed or excerpted, but not all white acts. And while MTV dismisses the inference of racism by saying that each decision to cut was based on different criteria, it's not comforting that, regardless of circumstances, there wasn't one exception where blacks were concerned."
Holy shit, i think the article you found must have been published around the time live-aid happened or maybe even after. You could possibly use that article as a source.
Fun Fact: this is the first international, live, televised performance of Hip-Hop/RAP music ever. And the exact moment that music was changed forever. Because this is exactly when RAP/Hip-Hop music began its ascendency to the most popular form of music on Earth.
Legendary “Run DMC are the first to Rock Adidas” and the First to rock the crowd on YO RAPS MTV ,And rock the Mic 🎤 live on the 1980’s are one of favorite Rap group”
A lot of the people in this audience look like they don't know what to do. Lol. I love Run DMC and if I was at this event with my friends, we would have went nuts when they hit the stage.
Run dmc really was groundbreaking in the 80’s being the only hip hop act at live aid. That was probably the first time those people heard hip hop music. They were the first group that took it to the global mainstream, and were arguably the Beatles of that genre for a while.
Run DMC made some of the first music my father introduced me to growing up in Queens. Looking back, these guys set the blueprint in so many ways. Really happy my father showed me them when I was young.
This is the real rap and hip/hop I grew up listening too! Run DMC is still one of the greatest rap groups ever! Most rappers today can't even really rap! Great performance from rap hip/hip legends!
Think about it...they had no ear pieces to stay on time. They only had the speakers on stage. Hard asf to stay on track with the beat but they did...it's RUN DMC! RIP JMJ!
LIVE AID was held at two venues simultaneously: Wembley Stadium in London and John F. Kennedy Stadium in Philadelphia. May God bless the sovereign country of Ethiopia and all of Africa!
RUN DMC if still going, nobody could match them. Unfortunately because of the passing of Jay they decided not to perform. In their heart, nothing would be the same. Legacy, real ones are the same. Enjoy what they gave us.
Did anyone notice the white guy with the beard in the back looking like my old math teacher? Dope boy is groovin and knows the lyrics. HipHop made history that day!
Fine! The angle of the shooting, the perspective of the stadium, the horizon of the clouds, the mass of people and the color cast off some kind of deep and kind feelings by that time, fascinates. 33 years have passed, and it is being kept up to date. Tough guys, and take a good breath. Adidas Sneakers !! Did they have Freddie М? or he :)))
Run-DMC were great but within a few the lyrical complexity of rap music went way beyond the basic Run-DMC/Beastie Boys level. Big Daddy Kane and Rakim which only came very shortly after rival most rappers of today in terms of lyrical complex.
Look at RunDMC laying the foundation for the next 4 decades of Hip Hop. I wonder how many people in the crowd know how important these guys would be to music. And the dude at 4:08 laying the foundation for the next 4 decades of middle-aged white guys trying to find the beat.
I’m getting chills watching this I grew up in the hood but I was a rock fan I was in the projects one day and heard on a big beat box radio “it’s like that” I was floored
I could hear the technical team - "Do we need audio send to tape?" - "Nah... nobody's going to want to hear this crap 3 years from now, just a grab it from the house feed for archive sake."
Why do people try to separate hip hop and rap? Hip Hop is composed of many different elements, rap being 1/2 of the musical element the other is The Disk-Jockey a.k.a. the "D.J."
MTV only showed about 20 seconds of Run-D.M.C., cutting away to London. This was from the ABC feed which was separate from MTV. Only one song was shown. The fact that Run-DMC were there at all is amazing, because Rap and Hip-Hop were only just starting to get play on MTV. The skipping of songs was not exclusive to black acts as MTV butchered the coverage. MTV actually left the Queen performance with three songs still to go! Rick Springfield wasn’t shown at all, The Hooters were barely shown, The Pretenders had their set chopped to pieces by MTV and so on. Philly also made sure African-American acts were represented with Run-DMC, Billy Ocean, Four Tops, Ashford & Simpson, Teddy Pendergrass, Patti LaBelle, Tina Turner (w/ Mick Jagger), Eddie Kendricks and David Ruffin (w/Hall & Oates), Bo Diddley and Albert Collins (w/ George Thorogood & Destroyers) and in London they had…Sade and nobody else.

These guys were 20 years old !! With 2 records out. Changed the world of music forever. Im 51 i remember this like it was yesterday
At this point I think they had released 2 albums, onto making their third being Raising Hell.
@@lekaoforty.726 i know, they were like 17 when the first 1983 record came out. As was ll cool j with radio. 17 when it was released in 85

@davidjefferson8091 so crazy 😁
Bruh they were NOT 20 years old. They were 25.
Perfoming a hip hop song at a rock and roll show of this size in 1985 is insane. This might have been the first time most of those people heard hiphop
Not me, RUN DMC all day.
*Sure, it's total madness* 🙄
Nobody in the rap industry can touch Run dmc and that is fact. RIP Jam Master Jay.

THIS IS HISTORIC. So many firsts here, Run DMC open the doors in mainstream for hip hop.
*No, they didn't. The Sugerhill Gang did that in 1980 along with Blondie with 'Rapture' in 1981. Even 'The Message' did in 1982*
Look at that crowd. Hip-Hop went viral, back then. I'm 44. I will never forget RUN DMC. One of my favorite Hip-Hop groups
what the hell are you watching? a lot of the people in the crowd look confused lmao
Exactly! We all loved it by this time.
Maybe also because Hiphop was a very young genre and still coming up back than. Hip-hop and Rap went viral in the early 90s
So funny to watch ...The white people look so perplexed on how to participate back then!! Lol

1985 was a different time my brother. Peace from Toronto :)
Yes it was. I miss it. Peace from Irwin Pennsylvania USA.
The rise of hip hop and rap
Rap and Hip Hop are very common nowadays (since the mid 90.s bassically), but back in the 80,s it was more like an alternative style of music.
More people was there for rock. That wasn't the moment for rap, but was matter of time
Run dmc really was groundbreaking in the 80’s being the only hip hop act at live aid. That was probably the first time those people heard hip hop music. They were the first group that took it to the global mainstream, and were arguably the Beatles of that genre for a while.
Run DMC made some of the first music my father introduced me to growing up in Queens.
Looking back, these guys set the blueprint in so many ways. Really happy my father showed me them when I was young.
Tougher than Leather (the album) is incredible. And the song is amazing
I was 12 yrs old then when I heard them I was blown away I love all kinds of music but 70s and 80s is the best
Legends. What honor it must’ve been to play Live Aid.
I used to listen to King of Rock and Raising Hell on repeat over and over when I was a kid!!!
To say I was born in 85 I can see why people made a big deal about this group. And their albums are dope as 👌🏿👌🏿
DAMN, you wasnt able to start going out PARTYING and going to CLUBS until the 2000's !!!! ??? :(
@entertainingsportshighligh7525 that's correct man I was born in the wrong era big time.

He has produced the best Aerosmith records in history.

Run dmc hands down masterpieces
In their day, wasn’t anyone badder. ( not bad meaning bad, but, bad meaning good) 😉

DMC podcast brought me here ,,I saw the m 3times @ The Saginaw Civic Center,,still have the ticket stubs,,they were the Soundtrack of my Youth💯✊🏽
Run DMC and the Beastie Boys my 2 all time favourite!
I remember watching this on TV and that same year watching Krush Groove and I've been a fan of Run DMC ever since
For ever more listening to this cold group jamming 2024 love it just look at the crowds
Moments like this are why Hip Hop is around 50 years later. RIP JMJ and respect to Run-D.M.C.
After all these years I'm still LMAO @ 4:08 mark and the unofficial background singer jamming "They're 3 of us but we're not the Beatles!!!"
That delivery they have is untouchable
They Truly Knocked Down Doors!!!

Cause they don't make no songs like these...PERIOD ! Then Jay flips off the headphones, too cool ! You young kids that's what you call SWAG !
We stepped on stage, at Live Aid! All the people played and the poor got paid
It’s a shame Run Dmc are not around anymore to show the kids how it’s done , one of the reasons I haven’t listened to rap for 20 years.
Run-DMC were great but within a few the lyrical complexity of rap music went way beyond the basic Run-DMC/Beastie Boys level. Big Daddy Kane and Rakim which only came very shortly after rival most rappers of today in terms of lyrical complex.
But they are still around, and still performing ...... I mean, JAM MASTER JAY is gone, but DMC and RUN are still doing shows
I stepped on stage
At live Aid
All the people gave
And the poor got paid

They took Hip Hop PLACES THAT NOBODY HAD BEFORE!!!!!!!
IT WAS CALLED LIVE AID
Run dmc the king of hip hop!! No one comes even close!!! Todays hiphop is crap
Only rap group at Live Aid!!! Straight fire.
Look at RunDMC laying the foundation for the next 4 decades of Hip Hop. I wonder how many people in the crowd know how important these guys would be to music. And the dude at 4:08 laying the foundation for the next 4 decades of middle-aged white guys trying to find the beat.
Not only hip hop, without them you wouldn't have Nu Metal either.
これはTVで放送されてないんですよね〜
じつはこの曲の前もかっこよかったです。
動画削除されてるけど、dvdならフルでみれます。
Do you think that the music was coming from the turntables or a DAT tape? If the turntables, crazy the needles didn't jump with all that going on.
Rev run is the hall of fame
Live aid 85 is probably the perfect concert
I’m getting chills watching this I grew up in the hood but I was a rock fan I was in the projects one day and heard on a big beat box radio “it’s like that” I was floored
Loved how Philly LovedThe dmc...respect
I remember watching this live, as soon as Run-DMC started, they switched to Wembley Stadium, they didn't want to see rap music on live tv.
Wow 😕

That always made me upset even then.
We all know why that is, and it had nothing to do with hip-hop.

KIDS NEED TO KNOW MUSIC HISTORY
Is that Rick Rubin in the background with the Run DMC shirt
yup , russell right next to him
No DJ has ever had the presence of Jam Master Jay behind the turntables!!!!
MTV only showed about 20 seconds of Run-D.M.C., cutting away to London.
This was from the ABC feed which was separate from MTV. Only one song was shown.
The fact that Run-DMC were there at all is amazing, because Rap and Hip-Hop were only just starting to get play on MTV.
The skipping of songs was not exclusive to black acts as MTV butchered the coverage.
MTV actually left the Queen performance with three songs still to go!
Rick Springfield wasn’t shown at all, The Hooters were barely shown, The Pretenders had their set chopped to pieces by MTV and so on.
Philly also made sure African-American acts were represented with Run-DMC, Billy Ocean, Four Tops, Ashford & Simpson, Teddy Pendergrass, Patti LaBelle, Tina Turner (w/ Mick Jagger), Eddie Kendricks and David Ruffin (w/Hall & Oates), Bo Diddley and Albert Collins (w/ George Thorogood & Destroyers) and in London they had…Sade and nobody else.
In 2005, Live 8 in Philly also had plenty of African-American acts and London again had very few
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DMC!
