"I'm D.M.C. in the place to be I go to St. John's University And since kindergarten I acquired the knowledge And after 12th grade I went straight to college I'm light skinned, I live in Queens And I love eatin' chicken and collard greens I dress to kill, I love the style I'm an MC you know who's versatile"...... THE MOST BEAUTIFUL BARS EVER!! The legendary Run-DMC & LIVE IN ETERNAL SPIRIT ALWAYS ANGEL ANCESTOR JAM MASTER J...🎧🎧
Rap was so pure and original back then...So much class , culture, and style... That's my generation...You can have today's Hip Hop movement...If you can even call it that...
It's Not Even Close!!! Much Props and Respect to You, For Recognizing that. These Rappers today, need to just knock it off, with that Bullshit Mannn....
C'était la belle époque des années 80/90's où les jeunes se baladaient avec leurs ghetto blaster sur les épaules ou une putain de stéréo dans leurs voitures, qui mettaient de l'ambiance de feu de dieu 📻💪📢🔥🎶
I remember being a teenager in Bed-stuy walking past a park when I heard this for the first time!!! It absolutely stopped me in my tracks!! Truly legendary hip hop!! No selling drugs, or shooting and killing!!! Remember my Adidas and they are not used as felon shoes!!
@Grym okay I kind of mis-spoke. What I meant by saying that hip hop is "dead" was that its no longer in the mainstream. How often do you hear any of the above mentioned MCs on the radio ? The new garbage ass rap is shoved down everyones throats especially the youth. And they pretend to like it bc everybody else does. How often do you see brothers rapping on corners n sh*t or a new school rapper that doesnt use autotune.
I totally agree mannn..... Nowadays-, it's just a bunch of culture Vulchers. Back then, You had to be thorough. Nowadays, niggaz' think that just Because their black and from the hood that they can be a rapper. No matter how much ignorance and self destruction that their putting out into the Universe.
🙏🏽🙏🏽💯💯💯 do y'all know how classic that was to see Kool Mo and Run DMC and Special Kay going back n forth with Jam Master Jay throwin on the Big Beat in the background scratching to it?? Mannnn nothing will ever match the days of true hiphop in the beginning!! This was it!!!!! *Goosebumps watching this*
Right. Sitting on the stoop. Making sure you had enough batteries for your boom box, cassettes with nothing on them... or if it was wack, tape over and pray it didn't break. LOL
This is so classic , 2 phases of rap... The treacherous 3 was fading out and Sucker MC's came out and kept rap going. Kool Moe D and them let them know they were original, But RUN DMC let them know that "The Winds Of Change" was in the air !!! #raphistorian
"Fly like a dove, I come from up above" was the go to rhyme back in the day. I remember I bought this cassette when it came out and was the first to have it at my school and dubbed it for everyone. I spent all my allowance on blank tapes. :/
I remember getting that run dmc tape for Xmas the year it came out and playing it on my Aiwa boom box. That music still holds up after all these years..
I watch this everyday and show everyone I can, they are amazed. One of the comments was right DMC was always right there and they had each others back. They had rap down to a science..
You know at the beginning of the video, it looks as though it could have been recorded today. It's only when RUN DMC emerge that y0u can tell without a shadow of a doubt that it's the 80's. Hahaha at 'Prince Vince.'
I happened by chance to see this on TV when it originally aired, I remember it was on a Saturday morning and you talk about mind-blown! This was probably the coolest thing that had ever been on TV at that point. Old school represent
Génial ce hip-hop ghetto des années 80's ! 😍📻 J'ai connu ce titre grâce au film “ boyz n the hood ” Rien à voir avec le hip-hop d'aujourd'hui, je ne dis pas que c'est pas bien aujourd'hui mais la naissance du hip-hop c'était quelque chose ! Tous les jeunes de ghettos avait une stéréo ghetto blaster dans leur voiture ou sur les épaules et ça donnais de l'ambiance et de la vie !
I vaguely remember watching this!! It appeared only once, saturday afternoon on local network television, maybe 1985? I remember being disappointed that the following week it was gone. It was just a Pilot episode, I guess.
It's so good to see video to go with the memories. Those were the best days of my life. rap with real heart not like all the bullshit out today all commercial no heart.
Doooope! At the end they were getting off! Kool Mo Dee was flowin!!! No doubt! Run had that charisma that made his the ultimate start just a few years after this was filmed...
Damn I miss shit like this!! Long live real hip-hop y'all!! If you're old enough to have witnessed it, we were blessed. The reason the music is terrible these days, is because the current generation are disconnected from the history of the culture..hell the history of black music in general..
No Jam Master Jay told Kool Moe D not to have a real rap battle because they had just came out.. and he didn't want him to do what he did to Busy Bee, Early hip hop, this record changed hip hop when it was dying out
This show was called 'Grafitti (sp?) Rock' and it came on WPIX channel 11 in NYC. It came on once. I'm glad somebody archived this!!! I thought I'd never see it again. It's a rare classic...

I haven't called anything Hip-Hop since 1987
DMC's verse is one of the greatest to be ever written or performed on stage. I feel that vibe and major goosebumps. THIS IS ICONIC.
BTW KMD was from around my way on Convent Ave. And in my opinion showed intellect before it was embraced
Facts!!
Which verse????
The Golden age of rap. I saw these guys in perform this in 83
RIP Jam Master Jay - Dope....
Yeah that's very sad and I don't believe that he was selling drugs I think that is all bulshit
I remember being a teenager in Bed-stuy walking past a park when I heard this for the first time!!! It absolutely stopped me in my tracks!! Truly legendary hip hop!! No selling drugs, or shooting and killing!!! Remember my Adidas and they are not used as felon shoes!!
I always thought they were saying, “selling shoes,” 😂😂
@@robfromvanMe too 😂
@@lwj24 glad I’m not the only one 😂
Dude in the white shirt at 0:24 was like "this is my moment to shine" XD
borat gettin down
Thats Kool Moe Dee...one of the founders of Hip Hop Legend 🎤🎶💨
How yall not know 🤔 that
@@blackfalconsungodzz3786 you mean kool herc? Lol
lol
Oh, you mean Richard Pryor?
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
DMC is a very underrated lyricist!!!
Underrated Voice 2!!! 👑
he did most of the writing of the rhymes
@@totalcontrol154 I can believe that. It's a shame that he's never mentioned in the top lyricists debates.
Well, it was more his voice and delivery, it was the perfect contrast to Run's style.
Run’s delivery is my favorite delivery
Miss the 80s
@Grym hip hop is and has been dead for a long time so nah. It can't still be great if it doesn't exist anymore.

there's nothin in hip hop that makes me feel like this anymore

nothing at all you right
Back when rap made sense, no gangsta crap, no cussing, no other B.S. and you can actually understand the words !!!
"... and after twelfth grade I went straight to college."
Word.
🙏🏽🙏🏽💯💯💯 do y'all know how classic that was to see Kool Mo and Run DMC and Special Kay going back n forth with Jam Master Jay throwin on the Big Beat in the background scratching to it??

DMC rocking his gold ring on the OUTSIDE of his glove!! That's old-school for you!!
Good eye!!!
100% OLD SCHOOL! B-Boy Stance!
Man those were the days when rap was exciting. Couldn't wait to hear what red alert, Chuck chill out or Marley marl would play on the weekends!
haro82 Pump it Up show wit Dee Barnes gave us the same feeling...couldnt wait for Saturday Afternoons to hear the newest freshest stuff out
Yesss!!!
Right. Sitting on the stoop. Making sure you had enough batteries for your boom box, cassettes with nothing on them... or if it was wack, tape over and pray it didn't break. LOL
Red Alert on 98.7 kiss And the Magic man on 107.5 wbls👊
In Philly it was Cosmic Kev, Jazzy Jeff, Lady B, Cash Money..
Fly like a dove, i come from above, im rockin on the mic & you can call me run love.... Run was NICE On that Microphone!!! 👌✔

Run DMC won the battle for sure
@@neotrinityrakgajane Kool Moe Dee was snapping tho lol

Facts 👀
Rock
I loved Run's dimeanor, he was always so cool and confident whenever he performed.
This changed the game!!!!!! "83"
Like! If you miss the old times!
Whatever happen to these days when you heard tunes you got excited? Not like today's
Forreal tho!!
how can you watch this and not see how ahead of their time Run DMC were! (they're they only ones that would still fit in today)
"Fly like a dove, I come from up above" was the go to rhyme back in the day. I remember I bought this cassette when it came out and was the first to have it at my school and dubbed it for everyone. I spent all my allowance on blank tapes. :/
DMC is under appreciated. Nuff said.
sucker mcs changed the game! that summer of 83 was crazy! at every party you better have it and you better play it 5 times at the least! RIP JMJ
hahaha i love the move from the guy with the white shirt at 0:24 he fckn killed it
Dude legit looks like my dad. Can't be him though cause my dad was 40 in '83. Woulda been hilarious if it was him
No bad words? Imagine that!
Rap was rap! Lyrics ruled the day instead of the violence! Long live Ole school rap! The history behind this rap is powerful also.
This was a hot summer jam back in 83. It made me love hip hop. This is when hip hop made a real turn. I can remember trying to remember the words.
1984
I was 14 when this came out, tryin' 2 spin on my head.
RIP JMJ
The start of the golden age of hip hop
I remember getting that run dmc tape for Xmas the year it came out and playing it on my Aiwa boom box. That music still holds up after all these years..
Dude Run is literally Hip-Hop ❤️
Ha, Vincent Gallo at the very beginning!
It's impossible to come out the other side of this without a smile on your face! Impossible I say!
Agreed!!
Jam master Jay was doing his thing on this track. Rest in paradise JMJ
This is a perfect example of Making America Great Again.
Coolest of the cool Moe D! So many rhymes gotta take invoice..cmon bruh
I watch this everyday and show everyone I can, they are amazed. One of the comments was right DMC was always right there and they had each others back. They had rap down to a science..
Yessss
Hardcore east coast music
Shakur Menace no doubt that’s the real hip hop when they had story’s, lyrics, and that flow is so brutal, killing
You know at the beginning of the video, it looks as though it could have been recorded today. It's only when RUN DMC emerge that y0u can tell without a shadow of a doubt that it's the 80's. Hahaha at 'Prince Vince.'
Kool Moe Dee was nice as hell!
KMD killed it!
Back then People were them selves there were no copy cats!🤔
Bring back good old memories from the past
Where Hip Hop originated.R.I.P Jam Master J and long live the Kings!!!!
I happened by chance to see this on TV when it originally aired, I remember it was on a Saturday morning and you talk about mind-blown! This was probably the coolest thing that had ever been on TV at that point. Old school represent
I was lucky enough to see them live in Brighton in their prime in 1987 I think. Absolutely awesome show. Their 1st album was so raw but incredible.
Richard Pryor getting his grove on when the beat drops
Who knew dmc was suffering from crazy anxiety at this time but he kept on
That's why he drank 40s
Larry smith on the beat, classic production. Get well LS
No other era nor genre can top HIP HOP period.💯💯✊🏾✊🏾
Kool Moe Dee like I gotta go solo after this show LMAO 😂 LMAO😂 LMAO😂 LMAO😂 LMAO😂 LMAO

Génial ce hip-hop ghetto des années 80's ! 😍📻 J'ai connu ce titre grâce au film “ boyz n the hood ”
Rien à voir avec le hip-hop d'aujourd'hui, je ne dis pas que c'est pas bien aujourd'hui mais la naissance du hip-hop c'était quelque chose ! Tous les jeunes de ghettos avait une stéréo ghetto blaster dans leur voiture ou sur les épaules et ça donnais de l'ambiance et de la vie !
RIP Larry Lar!
World Class!!!!!!!!
I vaguely remember watching this!! It appeared only once, saturday afternoon on local network television, maybe 1985? I remember being disappointed that the following week it was gone. It was just a Pilot episode, I guess.

True Old School....Love it

Damn I miss shit like this!! Long live real hip-hop y'all!! If you're old enough to have witnessed it, we were blessed. The reason the music is terrible these days, is because the current generation are disconnected from the history of the culture..hell the history of black music in general..

1983 NYC FOREVER REMEMBERED .This record blew me away.
This show was called 'Grafitti (sp?) Rock' and it came on WPIX channel 11 in NYC. It came on once. I'm glad somebody archived this!!! I thought I'd never see it again. It's a rare classic...
They should do a reunion show and try to find all the audience members and have them do this now when they are all in their 50s and 60s.
Damn...I remember this show. I think Shannon performed on here too
