Lol they never seem to get real rock musicians In there usually just close to rock musicians. Eminem did the eminem show which he described as a mix of rock and rap and I agree so why isn't he in there?
Wow, didn't know all that about them, thanks Em. Great speech, very classy. He couldn't have done a better job making it a "big" moment for them and, given their giant achievements, they deserved it.
@XxXxMetallicAxXxXxX Yeah, this left me scratching my head a bit. I mean, I love the idea of honoring Run DMC, but they aren't rock, so . . . what's the convention? Do you know if other hip-hop people have gotten inducted? Is the Rock 'n Roll Hall of fame a hall of fame for popular music stars of all kinds? Guess so . . .
@kristinparker22 It must be because of the way they injected hip-hop with rock 'n roll. That's what Em says, anyway. Some of the earliest hip-hop I've heard is light and funny . . . it's almost joke party music. Perhaps Run DMC were the first (or among the first?) to rap with a Mick Jagger-like swagger? They gave hip-hop the bad ass edge we know and love today? Hmmm . . . if so, then I didn't realize that that grit came from the rock influence. And that makes me *really* love Run DMC.
In my opinion a movie star is a person in a movie. As far as movie stars go i heard about Grandmaster Flash in Wild style Way before I heard about Run-D.M.C in Krush Groove. Also chill the fuck out and don't call me a "jackass" because I have a different opinion as you.
You ARE a jackass. Grandmaster was a legend among rap audiences. But sadly, never a star. RUN DMC were the first to have achieved the things eminem said above. THAT makes a rockstar and your subsequent appearance in a movie makes you a moviestar and anyone who appears in a moie is not a moviestar. They are called castmembers. lol. Castmembers who accomplish stardom thereafter become movie stars. Eg. Russell Crowe in LA Confidential and Jennifer Lopez in Ananconda. Both were cast members then.
Not then he wasn't. Today he is. Only when rap blew up did the audience take note of those who paved the way for today's rappers. That's how they came become stars. Well after RUN DMC had come and gone.
Ive been looking for this video forever thanks soo much for the upload :) haha

Run-D.M.C was not the first rap group in a movie.

a 'moviestar' is not someone who gets any role in a movie jackass. The key word here is 'star' and not 'movie' lindsay.

Ok, so first you said he is not a star and now you think he is. What the fuck man, and how was he not noticed when thousands came to see him perform.
