Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

"Rock Box" from Run-D.M.C.'s debut, pretty much says it all. A rap song with heavy-metal guitar riffs, it announced a new era by denouncing what had come before, in both word and deed. The rhyme "Cuz Calvin Klein's no friend of mine /Don't want nobody's name on my behind" dismissed the usual exhortations about zodiac signs and designer clothing. "Just snap your fingers and clap your hands / Our DJ's better than all these bands" is as telling: Instead of recording with a band, like the Sugarhill Gang and Kurtis Blow before them, Run- D.M.C. were the first to use only a beat box and a DJ--the way the music originated, on the streets of Harlem and the Bronx. The first rap album released as such (and not merely as a collection of 12-inch singles), it was also the first rap release to certify platinum. With classics like "It's Like That", "Hard Times", "Sucker M.C.'s" and "30 Days", this album is nothing short of revolutionary. --Suzanne McElfresh

5.0 out of 5 stars The group that kicked open the door for hip hop 15 Aug 2001
Format:Audio CD
This was arguably the first landmark rap album ever produced. I say arguably as one must also consider Bambaataa's Planet Rock and Wild Style, but this is effectively ground zero of hardcore rap posturing and the b-boy braggadocio that came to define rap as a viable musical form. Yes, Messrs. Run, DMC and Jam-Master Jay would be quickly overtaken by late 80s rap legends like Public Enemy, NWA, the Juice Crew and so on, but none of them could have done it without these guys. If your starting out in hip hop, you can do no better than to start here. If you think you don't like hip hop, that its stale derivative ghetto themes bore you, get this and witness how awesome this art-form once was. Truly the kings of rap and rock.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic Hip Hop Record 3 Sep 2011
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Released in 1983. It is quite possibly the best Hip Hop record released in the first half of the 1980's. At least until there own 'Raising Hell' 1986. All tracks are good, though Highlights are Rock Box, Sucker Mc's and Hollis Crew.

3.0 out of 5 stars Original 20 Oct 2007
Format:Audio CD
I love Run DMC they invented rap/rock and the first and best example was Rock Box which kicks *ss. This has also got It's Like That on it, but the original isn't as good as the Jason Nevins remix.
