Into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame! They have always been members of the Hall Of Fame in my eyes. I always loved the fact that they were always diverse, using rock and roll sounds and heavy bass guitars in their music but were always able to stay true to the blueprint of Hip Hop.
Anyhow, without getting all mushy and "I love Hip Hop" ish, let me just congratulate the group, Congratulations!! I'm sure Jam Master Jay was watching down from up above smiling....
Fuse TV aired the ceremony live last night. There was a special that aired before the ceremony where DMC sat down to give his thoughts on Hip Hop right now. One thing that stuck out about his thoughts on the genre was what set Run DMC and other ol' school Hip Hop groups apart from the rappers today.
He said that although they lived a very Rock and Roll lifestyle...you know sex, booze, and drugs, they never put it in their lyrics because they knew that children looked up to them and idolized them. I for one do not believe that rappers should be the role models to children their parents should; but not every household has caring parents and children usually turn to the outside world for guidance. Totally deep. What can we say, times have changed.
