I remember when this show came on in New York. This was the first and last show for Graffiti Rock. (wack name) The host was MC. Dust(so good for the kids)
@BlacksAreBeautiful guilty as charged...! graffiti rock aired on friday nights at something like 8 or 9pm and i always used to rush home (on my bmx bike) at the last minute to catch it.
This IS rappin, exactly as other comments say, proper old skool, no bull**** about killing, cars, guns and money, but proper lyrical gymnastics. Word!
@charmcity401 Jay had some unbelievable live sets recorded live. I wish I could find some more live footage on his sets. He inspired me to become a dj.
one of the illest lyrics ever laid down by Run was in this song when he said You don't even know your english your verb or noun u just a sucker mc you sad faced clown, classic
I saw RUN DMC and JMJ in my home town and they was actin' a fool. They was dissin' true fans....and this was with the real crew at cowboys in Edmonton. I tried to just give props and they dissed me. I had bought since raising hell...no love.
Yep, I'm positive it is. The voice is right too. I wasn't sure because of the poor quality, but in the end you can tell for certain. He was a very well-known graffiti artist in those days (word is he is Phase 1), he is from NY, so it all make perfect sense.
@SoulPower4T4 "Vince" has been trying his damndest to have any portions of from not being released. This youtube channel was smart not to put him in the title key words so we are happy ! Thanks. :D
@SoulPower4T4 Was he a b boy? I know that I was surprised to find out years later that he ventured into acting but it never was clear to me who the hell he was as far as his pre-Hollywood days, was he a b boy? A writer? There's no evidence he was either of these, just another home boy from NYC in this early 80s era.
@SoulPower4T4 Ah, who knows. I think he was just many homeboys who was connected friendwise to artists, same can be said about Debbie (Wow!) Mazar. Of course, I'm from San Francisco and didn't know any of this stuff at the time. Did I mention about Debbie with a Wow! Wow! : )
It's not even lip syncin type shit...damn i feel old(37) at times but at the same time..shit was REAL when I(we)came up..Respect Due if ya know what i mean...if not well...Respect Due also...cause if ya watchin this...you on the right path
I want ta something more articulate but...OH SHIT is all i can say...i'm a 37 year old nigga who came up when this was the SHIT so this is bringing it back...
I just finished knockin "Here we go and Together Forever..ef it i'm goin back tonite..next up...LL...yeah i'm gonna start wit "Can't live without my radio"
If ya know what i'm talkin bout...Holla..i want ta know ya
This is gold. Thanks for posting. I'm not even going to touch on the 'dancing' that some utter TOOLS are undertaking in the background in an attempt to mar the brilliance of Run-DMC.
Cool

Well, I can't say I'm 100% sure, but that's what "my sources" tell me, yes.
