Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
By the time Joseph (Run) Simmons, Daryl (DMC) McDaniel and Jam Master Jay (Jason Mizell) released their third album, 1986's Raising Hell, they'd already made hip-hop history by releasing the first real hip-hop album (their self-titled debut). This album eclipsed that--and then some. It's hard to imagine now the impact of Run DMC's team-up with Aerosmith for "Walk That Way"; more than revitalising the ageing rockers careers, it made the Hollis, Queens-based trio rap's first superstars and changed the way that rock, pop and rap were classified forever. The album is no one hit wonder, though--packed with classics like "It's Tricky", "Peter Piper", "You Be Illin'" and "My Adidas", it's an absolute classic. --Randy Silver

Description
Rap music may have been making some headway in terms of mainstream acceptance by 1986, but it was the release and breakthrough of Run DMC's cover of Aerosmith's "Walk This Way" that cemented the deal. Rap was out of the urban ghetto and into the white, hard rock suburbs. And Run DMC was the perfectband to initialise the natural crossover, being among the first of hip-hop's nationally respected acts, and definitely the first to hint at the marriage of hardcore rap and power chords with 1983s "Rock Box" and 1985s "King of Rock".
RAISING HELL, the band's third full-length release, includes far more classics than just that one pop hit. "Peter Piper","It's Tricky", "My Adidas" and "You Be Illin'" define the old-school hip-hop aesthetic about as well as any four songs on any rap full-length recorded in the '80s. Listen to any song on this LP and you'll recognise two to three lines that have become standards in the language of rap. A historic album? You don't know the half of it.
