adidas Originals - DMC on "My adidas"

[asianthor]

I love DMC but is he in a crack house cause it looks run down and an empty can in the stairs the stairs look grungy. DMC has lost weight and he does'nt look to healthy. LONG LIVE RUN-DMC FOREVER!!

[8past8]

Spoken a true pioneer.

[bobopinkrabbit]

If anyone wants this i have it typed up, message me :D

[MegaDude509]

his eyes are creepy, but respect :P

[MrDjwilly2010]

R.I.P ONE OF THE BEST, HE DIDN´T NEED TO TALK TOO MUCH, HE´D TALK WITH TURNTABLES, WORD!

[Tomorrowsindustry]

DMC is the best.

(and for the guys who think he's gonan cry, he can't cry about shoes, he's wearing adidas ones)

[KOFFI69]

Word

[Uaint80sLOL]

All Day I Dream About Sex!!!!

[KlikOn]

yee ol skool yee

[youthfan22]

good stuff!!!

[Ferizajcity]

I dont belive that rundmc are so dumb, thej know thej make only money..because thej need it.

But its wrong to make "adidas" such popular..

[SPAMusubiHalau]

@Ferizajcity They are talking about a song from 1988

[Ferizajcity]

And what do adidas for the guys in the getthos? Thej open Fabrike?

No the produce in china, and we pay 50% more for that shoes..only because theh have the name "adidas"

[Gremlov]

Fuck YOUTUBE for blocking the origninal RUN DMC vid

[KyleGooner4]

fuck yeah man - levis', adidas - literally what i wear every day when i'm not at school.

so influential - so culturally.

[timberland1108]

@KyleGooner4 why not in school

[mOzzeefieD09]

wow.. much respect man..

[VeryCurrently21]

Adidas are about the coolest shoes ever, I have respect for Nike, but Adidas has a damn song! |||

[ayman2b]

ADIDAS ORIGINALS ATTITUDE ii

[puappo]

everyone SHOULD have one!!!

[TGTLG14]

wats up with his voice

[connorhodgy]

@TGTLG14 He has a disease where his voice just randomly goes and makes it realy bad all the time and he will probably loose his voice eventually

[goredsox1792]

he has spasmodic dysphonia so he cant control the pitch of his voice

still the OG of OG's

[ikseles2685]

This is a real MC. Real fucking hiphop.

[kunsura]

my adidas, yes sir!

[jonathanb014]

is he on drugs lol

[cylinder4ify]

Dudes gettin all over emotional over sum addidas. Dudes, this is a new day, lets talk bout sum new stuff. Rev. Run has moved on & done new things and your still talkin bout your fricken addidas!!!!!

[MrTomDees]

@cylinder4ify your missing the point dumbass

hes talkin about adidas cos its a commercial and hes getting paid to

not cos thats all he still cares about

[PANDAPANDAMADNESS]

He's not getting emotional - his voice is completly shot and has been for a very, very long time. Rev Run abandoned him because of his voice, nice guy eh?

[legatoblue217]

I think it's raw how much emotion and passion this STILL instills in him. Way back before we got dumb and glorified gangs and violence. Run DMC didn't just make good music, they actually stood for something. "Not an g-a-n-g off the street R-U-N-D-M-C complete."

[lodeghost]

he took too much. too much, too much.

[CamButler]

Yeesh, DMC looks like he's got Parkinson's or something, either that or his whole family died and he just found out, like he's about to cry like a baby or something.

[lil10dot]

i heard he has a voice problem

[sporelover]

He has a vocal disorder.

[croft1999]

casting original

forever my diamond dream

run for change!

[kumbo]

A legend right here!!!!RUN DMC for life!

[PrimaTechnology]

RUN DMC star DARYL McDANIELS is secretly fighting a crippling disability that could cost him his voice.

The MY ADIDAS rapper has discovered he has the neurological disorder spasmodic dysphonia, which causes involuntary spasms of his vocal cords.

McDaniels first noticed his voice problems when RUN DMC recorded their final album CROWN ROYAL, but it took and army of medics and experts to pinpoint what his problem was.

[MrSw3rls]

hate to be a jerk, but he already made millions. He doesn't need his voice. He's at the point where he could just show up in a music video, and Still make more money then i will ever make in my life

[Liface]

DMC always sounds like he's about to cry :(

[TheDudeNamedDute]

Exactly what I thougt when I saw this :D

[azza160290]

haha its an emotional subject

[CorneliusMcGee]

yo im mad you said that cuz even tho i read the reason behind that, i still keep smirkin :\

[dalworthkid9898]

adidas 4 life fuck jordan fuck nike

[mantagrae]

i fuckin hate nikes, for real.....that's just me tho, sorry famz out there...but i rock my adidaz!

[CameronDaGangsta]

I remember when you were the shit when you had Adidas. I had plaid flannel, lee overalls, fedora, wife beater, shades, and my dorag. Man those was good times. Now all these kids say they gangsta, but they wearin all these chains and shit. Muthafucka you don't wear chains in the hood! You'd get jacked!!!! You punk ass bitch.

[SuggahBear]

Big Ups for adidas - still got a pair of white and blue sambas. wonder what would have happened if they wore pumas? you know the guys who created puma and adidas were brothers???

[peterkaraferis]

Oh really?

[SuggahBear]

yeah I was over there for 5 jahres - went to an ADIDAS factory there and wouldn't ya know it? The Puma factory was not too far from it ~

[peterkaraferis]

:-0!thanks for the info man i really couldnt imagine it...

[SuggahBear]

yeah no prob. It's crazy how they made such an impact.

[RandomUsername010]

yeah SuggahBear, I found that out one day wondering what 'Adidas' meant. I searched it and found out it was the combination of one brother's nickname, 'Adi' with their last name, 'Dassler' put it together, 'Adidas.' A huge rift came between the brothers causing one, Rudy, to start the rival company, Puma. Pretty cool u got to see the factories :)

[SuggahBear]

nyce tidbits! forgot about the name combo ~ yeah the factories were koo. Could buy defective stuff there for mad cheap. Walked away THEN, when deutsch marks wee currency with mad shelltoes; of course then they were used for breakin I did - and parlayin' tha cobblestones O_O lol

[RooniusMaximus]

Well it would be. Adi Dassler (founder of adidas) and Rudi Dassler were brothers.

They worked together originally but a feud about whether or not one or the other was in the SS spilt them up.

By 1948, the rift between the brothers widened. Rudolf left the company to found Puma on the other side of town (across the Aurach River), and Adi Dassler renamed the company adidas, deliberately using all lower case letters.

[SuggahBear]

yeah - I miss Germany - good times.

[e22378]

Mad Respect!!!

[trimmytrab]

adidas shelltoes are just so poor

real men wear Adidas London, Nastase, Barrington Smash, Samba, Kick, Forest Hills, Rom, Country, Stan Smith,

Run DMC didn't make Adidas Originals cool, it was English footie casuals that made them what they are now.

[bboycyrus]

i dont think shelltoes are poor,

but ur statement are

[jamesbelas]

yo he talks like hes goin to cry, but respect man, respect

[TTDocNu]

He's not gonna cry. I don't wanna blow up his spot but everybody always confuses his voice with something else. D has a neurological disorder known as spasmodic dysphonia, which causes involuntary spasms of his vocal cords.

[JRWRlTERTV]

@TTDocNu

if u want to met "DMC" you can come to iHop of Totowa, NJ. On Monday afternoons from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. I am a server their and He is my regular customer.

This explains why he talks like that hahaha, i always wanted to ask him, but I was scared to get a negative reaction

[lesterclaypool1]

@JRWRlTERTV

Thank you. I love reading that he still eats at IHOP.

[mxriderHassy]

Thank you for the news! ;)

Respect to one of the best mcs of Hip Hop.

[BeastNation2009]

@jamesbelas Sounds like Tyson though...

[BeastNation2009]

@jamesbelas ...but more civilized.

[Blackson187]

@jamesbelas There's something wrong with his brain that is sending messages to his vocal chords to make them do that. It's suspected that it's due to his shout-style rap that he did for years.

[ThePayDayRay]

@jamesbelas you wouldnt even be on this page if it wasnt for him

[ElGanjo]

q weno q lo taba scuxando dl original ara mismo y lo visto d pasada jajajaja menuass bestias d ls 2 h y como exo ayer aee sigue walking this way

[kzfive]

I met DMC back in the late 80's. One of the coolest people you could ever meet.

[skyd59]

he barely can talk, he looks tired. must be all the weed he took :D

crazy man

[ReactTeamSession]

i agree! lol!

[davecroninismyhero]

actually the reason he "barely can talk" is because he has a vocal disorder

[thugluv7777]

he has a vocal disorder dick wad

[skyd59]

didnt know

[Corkforlife]

Westcoast, fuck you and you "nigger agenda". Who the fuck are you to say that whites are the superior race? Its fucking brainwashed hicks like you that make me think theres no hope for the future of humanity.

[YoGurlzMosFavMc]

west coast lol you are a fucen idiot

[billcosby8492]

wikipedia says dude's got "Spasmodic dysphonia," which is what makes his voice shaky.

Good to hear from DMC

[purplenurps]

whats wrong with his voice?

[LEX1206LEX]

damm h3s nervous 4 life but you know what hes dope

[marc726]

yeah my adidas!! good ol DMC

[skatedude22]

Thats Daryl McDaniels normal voice, I think from all the drugs they used to take. Ialready knew this story before from watching Sneaker Freaks DVD, but loved hearing it again, although DMC must be tired as hell of telling it. SO FUCKING HAPPY Adidas original made a youytubepage, ITS ABOUT TIME!!! ADIDAS FOR LIFE!

[Fr0zenInTime]

I think he has a vocal disorder.

[ryanyouden]

[eyecorona]

[lukeydev]

fuck u litle geek english faggit

[coltononline]

Maybe that guy was right. Where is their DJ? I'm tired of these rappers trying to make b s arguements to justify their images, personas and lyrics. I love RunDMC's music but that song wasn't about showing little kids that they can go to amsterdam from the ghetto. It was about some god DAMN tennis shoes! Period! save the bull shit for the idiots that you peddle your labels music to and stop insulting those of us with more than 3 brain cells.

[jeff5was5here]

thier DJ (jam master jay) was shot in a recording studio in 2002 . he was shot by kennith mcgriff other knon as supreme. unfortunatly it was gang related.

[jeff5was5here]

their DJ (jam master jay) was shot in a recording studio in 2002 by kennith mcgriff AKA supreme. the reason jmj got shot was because hee helpen 50 cent produce the ghetto qu'ran a 50 cent song. and 50 cent is targeted by the murder inc. assoc. so they shot jmj.

[theTRUTHgroup]

Great story!

[bacbodyspray]

hes so fucked up

[SJRNWT]

Hey props to Adidas for having the balls to let him say Run was high at the time, haha that's cool

[friso0o]

Run wasnt high .. he sad russel simmons was

[BallersCove]

I love Adidas!!!!

[TriLimTim]

great ****

ADIDAS VERY GOOD

[ftaotabbqr]

wheres my red velvet track suit and white kango hat? mothafukcka

[mantagrae]

haha, word up

[r3kop]

I rock the Adidas

Be cool, keep it old school

[CinemaZebra]

That song was on THPS4

[DigitalMidnight]

About 5 years ago they discovered he has the neurological disorder spasmodic dysphonia, which causes involuntary spasms of his vocal cords.

It's not because of a disease or drugs or anything else.

[dominico1983]

he sounds so sick

[laatmaarzitte]

epic

[2222554]

He's on coke or crack or something, that's why he's talking the way he is...

[1337Kuken]

he had big problems in his throat wich fucked his voice up if i remember right.

[krules44]

wow are u kidding me?

[daddy9yanke]

it is a shit!!!!!

esto es una mierda

[claaud]

can someone tells me why he sounds like this?

[holyfreakinshit]

maybe Adidas is forcing him at gunpoint to do this

[arabfreak]

I laughed just by looking at the tags they put for this video.

[robelp91]

"While on tour, DMC noticed his voice was giving out. He was later diagnosed with spasmodic dysphonia, a vocal disorder which causes involuntary spasms of the larynx muscles. He believes it was caused by the aggressive way in which he performs his lyrics compounded with the years of heavy drinking."

From Wikipedia

Source: DMC: My Adoption Journey, VH1

[claaud]

thanks a lot!

[MrTSquared]

Yeah... DMC's got larynx problems, kinda of like DOC... but they still doin' they thing so it's all good

[crissus88]

DMC sin ser mas grande que adidas propulsaron una marca, y la introdujeron en zonas que nunca hubieran llegado, y DMC se favorecio se hizo mas popular, amplio el hiphop a un mundo de no solo negros, pudiendo apareccer otras bandas de rap en la television.

[ShizzOLG]

En cambio hoy, los raperos hacen sus propias marcas de zapatillas y las promocionan en sus propios videos. Casi irónico no? :P

[crissus88]

si bastante ironico, la verdad, pero deben aceptar los raperos de hoy que todo esto se origino gracias a los DMC, que hicieron de la musica de ghetto algo mas popular, cotizando millones en las disqueras.

[goligoggo]

Okay?

[FinnishAirsoftplayer]

he sounds diffrent, cause he lost his voice :(

[easternplayalistic]

D.M.C.

'He was diagnosed with spasmodic dysphonia, a vocal disorder which causes involuntary spasms of the larynx muscles.'

[IHS7]

I'm from Queens Village (right next to Hollis) and I remember when I was in the 3 or 4th grade, My Gym Teacher read us that article because he saw how we would rock our sneakers and say we would end up in jail. We couldn't have Fat Laces in our kicks for Gym Class.

[keripersi]

He didnt use to sound like that back in the day, drugs has did a number on him and his voice.

[tehverybestcomment]

I love adidas originals and Run DMC, but his voice is kinda weird indeed :\

[BinkieMcFartnuggets]

I can't wait for the ADIDAS/Subway partnership with Jared selling jogging shoes saying "All Day I Dream About Sandwiches." Yeah that's gonna be great...

[mantagrae]

the fat boys woulda killed that!! lol

[DarthMonkey180]

wats wrong iwth his voice?

[cromatical]

Cocaaaine is a hell of a druggggg!!! rofl, rick jamsed!

[goingallout]

DMC is on point, I remember Dr. Gerald Deas. I was a kid, but my brother wore the adidas, nylons shirts and Lee's. and my father used to pull that article and diss my brother's "felon shoes". Damn DMC is right i remember those days. also DMC forgot to mention the name belts. haha. i hope to interview him someday.

[richcastle]

holy crap,i just had a flashback.lol

[j0j0]

his voice is weird because when they were starting out i think it was russel who didn't like how dmc's voice sounded so dmc changed it. all those years straining his voice to sound the same on records and performing and screaming on stage caused serious strain on his vocal chords. thats why he sounds shaky.

[freshPrincess626]

MY...A...DIDAS!!!

[hitmancoolio]

why does he sound so nervous?

[youngt02]

dmc iz still kul

[secondgreenshirt]

yea  DMC still rock

[smeleskie]

he sounds like he's chocking up...
