힙합의 원조. 힙합의 바이블. 힙합의 대중화를 앞당긴 절대적인 존재. 최초로 힙합의 상업적인 성공을 일궈냈으나 불의의 사고로 활동을 할 수 없게 된 전설적 힙합 트리오 RUN DMC의 베스트 작품들. 에어로스미스와 함께 한 그들의 상징적인 히트곡 "WALK THIS WAY"에서 가장 최근 앨범에서 히트한 "KING OF ROCK"까지 힙합의 역사가 담겨 있는 앨범 .... ....
Walk This Way Now there's a backseat lover That's always under cover And I talk til my daddy say Said you ain't seen nuthin Til you're down on her muffin And there's sure to be a change in ways Now there's a cheerleader That's a real big pleaser of times I can reminisce But the best thing about lovin' Was her sister and her cousin And it started with a little kiss, like this
She starts swingin With the boys in tune And her feet just fly up in the air Singin hey diddle diddle with a kitty in the middle And they swingin like it just don't care So I took a big chance At the high school dance With a lady who was ready to play It wasn't me she was foolin Cause she knew what was she was doin when she told me how to walk this way
She told me to Walk this way! Talk this way! Walk this way! Talk this way! She told me to Walk this way! Talk this way! Walk this way! Talk this way! Well just gimme a kiss Oooh, a-like this!
School girl sleazy With a classy kind of sassy Little skirt hangin way up her knee It was three young ladies In the school gym locker And they find they were lookin at D I was a high school loser Never made it with a lady Til the boys told me somethin I missed That my next door neighbor had a daughter had a favor And I gave the girl just a little kiss, like this
She starts swingin with the boys in the school with her feet flyin up in the air Singing hey diddle diddle with a kitty in the middle I was swingin like I didn't care So I took a big chance at the high school dance With a misses who was ready to play Wasn't me she was foolin cause she knew what she was doin when she told me how to walk this way
She told me to Walk this way! Talk this way! Walk this way! Talk this way! She told me to Walk this way! Talk this way! Walk this way! Talk this way! Well just gimme some head A Like this...

{*guitar solo*}
[Run] For all you sucker MC's perpetratin a FRAUD Your rhymes are cold wack and keep the crowd cold lost You're the kind of guy that girl ignored I'm drivin Caddy, you fixin a FORD My name is Joseph Simmons but my middle name's Lord and when I'm rockin on the mic, you should all applaud Because we're (wheelin, dealin, we got a funny feelin) We rock from the floor up the ceilin We groove it (you move it) it has been proven We calmed the seven seas because our music is SOOTHIN We create it (relate it) and often demonstrate it We'll diss a sucker MC make the other suckers hate it We're rising (suprising) and often hypnotizing We always tell the truth and then we never slip no lies in No curls (no braids) peasy-head and still get paid Jam Master cut the record up and down and cross-fade
{*guitar solo*}
[Run] Because the rhymes I say, sharp as a nail Witty as can be and not for sale Always funky fresh, could NEVER be stale
[D.M.C.] Took a test to become an MC and didn't fail I couldn't wait to demonstrate all the super def rhymes that I create I'm a wizard of a word, that's what you heard And anything else is quite absurd I'm the master of a mic, that's what I say And if I didn't say that, you'd say it anyway
[Run] Bust into the party, come in the place See the first things come, the music in your face Tears down the walls, some of the floor with the DJ named Jay with the cuts galore
[D.M.C.] So listen to this because it can't be missed and you can't leave til you're dismissed You can do anything that you want to but you can't leave until we're through So relax your BODY and your mind and listen to us say this rhyme - HEY You might think that you have WAITED long enough til the rhyme was STATED But if it were a test it would be GRADED with a grade that's not DEBATED Nothing too deep and nothing dense and all our rhymes make a lot of SENSE
[Run-D.M.C.] So move your butt, to the cut Run amuk, you're not in a rut Each and everybody out there, we got the notion
[D.M.C.] We want to see y'all all in motion
[Run-D.M.C.] Just SHAKE, WIGGLE jump up and down Move your body to the funky sound
[D.M.C.] Side to side, back and forth
[Run-D.M.C.] We're the two MC's, and we're gonna go off Stand in place, walk or RUN Tap your feet, you'll be on the one
[D.M.C.] Just snap your fingers and clap your hands
[Run-D.M.C.] Our DJ's better than all these bands HUH!!

My Adidas..
I'm the king of rock, there is none higher Sucker MC's should call me sire To burn my kingdom, you must use fire I won't stop rockin' till I retire
Now we rock the party and come correct Our cuts are on time and rhymes connect Got the right to vote and will elect And other rappers can't stand us, but give us respect
They called us and said we're gettin iller There's no one chiller It's not Michael Jackson and this is not Thriller As one def rapper, I know I can hang I'm Run from Run-DMC, like Kool from Kool and the Gang Roll to the rock, rock to the roll DMC stands for devestating mic control You can't touch me with a ten foot pole And I even made the devil sell me his soul
Now we crash through walls, cut through floors Bust through ceilings and knock down doors And when we're on the tape, we're fresh out the box You can hear our sound for blocks and blocks For every living person we're a purple treat It's me and DMC, Jay where's the beat?
Now we're the baddest of the bad, the coolest of the cool I'm DMC, I rock and roll. I'm DJ Run, I rock and rule It's not a Trick or Treat and it's not a April Fool It's all brand new, never ever old school
You got the music in your body and you can't comprehend When your mind won't wiggle and your knees will bend Music ain't nothin but a people's jam It's DJ Run-DMC rockin without a band
Now I walked on ice and never fell I spent my time in a plush hotel I stood on many stages, held many mics Take airplane flights, at huge heights So all you sucker MC's, you gotta say please Cause when he jumps high, I'm pulling down weeds Got a song so strong, it's knocking down trees Is it hard to believe it's Run-DMC
I am from, around the way And Run goes to school, every day And Jay plays the records he has to play And we get down with no delay, HEY! I rock the party with the words I speak And Run says the rhymes that are unique And Jay cuts the records every day of the week And we are the crew that can never be beat So don't try to diss me, try to be my friend Cause if you do, you'll get yours in the end The rhymes we say, shall set a trend Because a devestating rap is what we send
Every jam we play, we break two needles There's three of us but we're not the Beatles My name is Darryl, you can call him D You can call me Darryl Mack, or you can call him DMC People always ask, "DMC, what does it mean?" D's for never dirty, MC for mostly clean
Like we said before, we rock hardcore I'm DJ Run, I can scratch. I'm DMC, I can draw And now we got the knack, to attract Our rhyme's an aphrodisiac We'll reign on your brain and rock your knot When it comes to rock, give it all we got To be MC's, we got what it takes Let the poppers pop and the breakers break We're cool cool cats, it's like that That's the way it is, so stay the hell back We're causin hard times, for sucker MC's Cause they don't make no songs like these PERIOD!
If I eat, a little kid, sticks his finger in my plate I be signing autographs, for three months straight I got jet-set women, who offer me favors My face is a thousand lipstick flavors Need a sip of lemonade, I'm a slave to my trade From all these lights my complexion might fade Secretary overworked, by a money hungry jerk Got a letter, answer woman, won't you freak out on my shirt?
Well can you rock it like this? I can rock it like that Can you rock it like this? I can rock it like that Huh!! *echoes*
Your ears are clogged, your head as hard as a log My privacy robbed, let me do my job You funny lookin slob eatin shiskabob You're the reason why my eyes are on the doorknob
Can you rock it like this? I think I rock it like that But can you rock it like this? Homeboy I rock it like that
I'm straining not complaining for a casual life Something normal nuttin formal three kids and a wife I'm dying from the spying that you're putting me through I perspire I'm on fire when I'm thinking of you
But can you rock it like this? I can rock it like that Well can you rock it like this? I can rock it like that Huh!! *echoes*
Can you rock it like this? I can rock it like that But can you rock it like this? I can rock it like that Huh!! *echoes*
News reporters, invade my borders If I think it I will say it, you might have a recorder And then, UHH-OHH, the nation's in upheaval Old dating always thinking at me evil You're stepping on my heels, you're breathing down my neck I'm not Rodney Dangerfield, so give me respect
Can you rock it like this? I-I can rock it like that But can you rock it like this? Homeboy I rock it like that
Can you rock it like this? Yo I can rock it like that But can you rock it like this? I can rock it like that Hu-Huh-Huh!! *echoes*
What it all adds up to, is just one thing Run-D.M.C is, the king of the swing And if you mess with us, you'll be a real short liver You may be big but our bodyguard's bigger *echoes*
Can you rock it like this? I can rock it like that Can you rock it like this? I can rock it like that *echoes*
Can you rock it like this? I can rock it like that Can you rock it like this? Homeboy I rock it like that *echoes*
Are polluted and often invaded with troubled hearts, and weakened minds Living their lives and hoping to find the golden key, to prosperity Never have a grip on reality This makes day to day living hard Trumpin your fate, never peepin the card You just goin through life without a trace when the answers you seek are in front of your face
[both] You're blind! (2X) [Run] Tell 'em D!
[D.M.C.] You're headed for the top, or so you think But that's not true for you, your life is on the brink of self-destruction, total corruption You better get out or die from consumption Sweat for a dollar, to get nothin back Cause at the end of the week, you still get taxed You'd even sell your soul to make your life correct But with the rate of inflation you should eat your check So you try to make a hustle, to get ahead But the only thing you manage is to stay in the red Coppin from John, to sell to Rex And your jones for success has put your life in check
[both] You're blind! (2X) [Run] And you can't see [DMC] You need to wear some glasses [Run] like D.M.C. [both] You're blind!
[Run] So you think the facts means you can't win So you devote your time to a life of sin
[D.M.C.] Hangin out late is how you survive Makin deals, talkin jive, and tellin lies Pressure beatin you down [Run] Like you're not handlin And all the while, your mind is ramblin [Run] About bein fly Or even sly [both] And bein held low in the public eye You decide these things but you don't know why [both] You're standin on a corner cold playin the post Cause another sucker you were chillin the most
[both] You're blind! (2X) [Run] Yo you can't see [DMC] You need to wear some glasses [Run] like D.M.C. [both] You're blind! (2X)
[D.M.C.] You (Run) round talkin bout what you hate Livin your life just to perpetrate You think your style is chill, because you're always cold with your platform shoes and your fake gold [Run] So you think you're bad Sheer dynamite But if you only knew the crew called you freak's delight
[Run] Wearin the tightest jeans, and shortest skirt You think you're cold chillin, lookin like a jerk No matter what you do, come out second rate [DMC] Thinkin you're on time but you're already late You're blind
[Run] You're blind! And you can't see [DMC] You need to wear some glasses [Run] like D.M.C. [both] You're blind! [Run] And you can't see [DMC] You need to wear some glasses [Run] like D.M.C. [both] You're blind!
[DMC] The moral to the story may not be clear [Run] And the only way to catch it is to lend an ear [DMC] Stop frontin so hard [Run] Why don't you peep your card? [DMC] And your goals in life may not be far Because these words I say are meant for you to hear So if you bust these facts you will persevere
[both] You're blind! (2X) [Run] And you can't see [DMC] You needs to wear some glasses [Run] like D.M.C. [both] You're blind! [Run] And you can't see [DMC] You need to wear some glasses [Run] like D.M.C. [both] You're blind! (2X) [Run] And you can't see [DMC] You need to wear some glasses [Run] like D.M.C.

Cause you can't touch (Jam Master Jay) Cause he's number (1, 2, 3, 4, hit it) Dance to the rhythm, the rhyme, the cold flow Chance to give em is done I told yo For these routines like 1983 It's just a little reminder So those suckas is kinder A little message from (Run-D.M.C.)
