Description:
The hard-rocking, platinum-selling, hip-hop sons of Hollis, Queens--Jam Master Jay, Darryl "DMC" McDaniels, and Joe "Run" Simmons (brother of Def Jam impresario Russell Simmons)--are well represented on this collection of upbeat videos from their first album, the groundbreaking Run-DMC (1984), up through their comeback, Down with the King (1993). Highlights include "Sucker M.C.'s (Krush-Groove 1)," featuring break dance contest winners from around the world; MTV-staple "Walk This Way," featuring Steven Tyler and Joe Perry from Aerosmith; "You Talk Too Much" (essentially a hip-hop take on the Mose Allison putdown classic "Your Mind Is on Vacation"); the humorous "It's Tricky," featuring Penn & Teller as rap star wannabes; and "It's Like That (Run-DMC vs. Jason Nevins)," featuring more gravity-defying break dance moves. Overall, the look is monochromatic (black hats, black track suits), the beats heavy, the guitars crunching, and the tone positive. The DVD includes a discography (including track listings for each release) and a Profile Records minidocumentary. --Kathleen C. Fennessy
