Description:
Run-D.M.C. leaves no doubt about its intent on King of Rock. The trio??s hard-hitting sophomore album begins with a statement of purpose (??Rock the House?) that serves as a stereophonic primer for the title track: a hybrid warning-anthem-theme song that swarms with justified boasts, heavy metal riffs, booming beats, cowbell accents, and dance-worthy grooves. The back-to-back tunes set the tone for a 1985 record that largely established the blueprint for the hip-hop that would follow for the next two decades ?? and which helped make rap a mainstream currency. ??It??s not Michael Jackson/ And this is not Thriller,? the group broadcasts early on in the record. Truer words ?? and music recorded with such honesty, pride, rawness, and integrity ?? have seldom been committed to tape. - 180 GRAM AUDIOPHILE VINYL
Rap would never be the same after Run-D.M.C. arrived in '83. Their self-titled debut LP wrested rap from the joyous block-party vibe and made it raw, gritty and mean, and they broke down even more doors with "King of Rock" ('85). Unlike the bouncy, funky stuff of old, Run-D.M.C. rocked the rap here, putting a charge into it that made them rap kings AND rock stars. Here, on 180-gram vinyl, are their crucial cuts (and R&B hits) "King of Rock," "You Talk Too Much," "Jam-Master Jammin'," "Can You Rock It Like This" and more! Music on Vinyl.
