Run DMC

I LOVE RUN DMC. To be honest, I'm actually pretty much in love with all 80's rap and disco music. I this stuff because it's always so upbeat and it makes me just want to sing along and get up and dance and just overall puts me in a better mood. Not much old music can do that, so I think it's pretty cool. Another rap group I love from the 80's is the Sugarhill Gang. They're lyrics are so funny and I can rap along and I love it. I like that the Sugarhill Gang and Run DMC sound a lot alike. Plus I really like Run DMC's part in "Walk This Way" because it's a cool mix of the two different styles but they come together better than you think they would. Plus, the video is pretty funny I think. One thing that I think is super weird about Run DMC is that they're branding was off the charts. For example they're brand of Adidas when that hadn't happened yet; I honestly had no idea they were that popular at the time, so it was cool to learn about that. My favorite Run DMC songs are "Walk This Way", "It's Tricky", "Sucker MC's", and "It's Like That".
