Cx1DJs We Do Things Different Podcast "Untold Stories of Run DMC" hosted by DJButterrock
Run-D.M.C. is the debut studio album by American hip hop group Run-D.M.C., released on March 27, 1984, by Profile Records, and re-issued by Arista Records. The album was primarily produced by Russell Simmons and Larry Smith.

The album was considered groundbreaking for its time, presenting a tougher, more hardcore form of rap. The album's sparse beats and aggressive rhymes were in sharp contrast with the light, party-oriented sound that was popular in contemporary hip hop. With the album, Run-D.M.C. came to be regarded by music critics as pioneering the movement of new school hip hop of the mid-1980s.[1] Five singles were released in support of it: "It's Like That", "Hard Times", "Rock Box", "30 Days" and "Hollis Crew". The first single from the album, "It's Like That", released on August 10, 1983, expanded lyrical boundaries in rap with its tone of social protest (unemployment, inflation). "It's Like That" is considered by many to be the first hardcore hip hop song,[2][3] and the first new-school hip hop recording.[4] "Sucker M.C.'s" is one of the first diss tracks,[5] and "Rock Box" is the first song in the rap rock genre.[3]

Run-D.M.C. peaked at number 53 on the Billboard 200 chart and number 14 on the Top R&B/Hip Hop Albums chart. The album became the first rap album to achieve a Gold certification from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) (December 17, 1984).[6][7][8] It was released to critical acclaim, and continues to be highly regarded as a seminal hip hop album. In 1989, it was ranked number 51 on Rolling Stone's list of the "100 Greatest Albums of the 1980s".[9] In 2003, the album was ranked number 240 on the same magazine's list of the "500 Greatest Albums of All Time", with the ranking changing to numbers 242 and 378 in the 2012 and 2020 updates of the list, respectively.[10] The album was reissued by Arista Records in 1999 and 2003. An expanded and remastered edition was released in 2005 and contained 4 previously unreleased songs.[11]

If y'all go to our YouTube stories, yeah, and and our in our uh shorts, we our views is crazy. So I know it's something wrong with the the the thing. YouTube told me it's something wrong with it. Like they're gonna fix it. Like it took, I posted a video on shorts, it took eight hours for the actual views to show up on the shorts. So that they said the live feed is crazy because it's coming from the software. I'm using we're using software too. So I don't know if we we don't use our software and we go straight to YouTube, is that a difference? I don't know. I mean, I gotta look into that. Because we we go on streaming through our software, so that might that might uh reflect some of the things. You know what I'm saying? I'm I'm starting to think. We go live straight to YouTube, like do the you we're gonna do the YouTube software, but if you go straight to YouTube without using the software, would that make a difference? I'm I'm I'm I'm gonna think about doing that. I don't know. I don't think it makes a difference, but it sounds good, so I say fuck it. Why why why should I say that? So before we start the show, shout out to Def Gem Records. Shout to um uh Tiffany, the PR, that's working with um that's working with um Def Jam Records.

You just gotta be, you gotta have a story to do it. And you got you have to the qualification, whatever you're doing, you have to be in that position at least five years, man. Like whatever you got going on, you gotta at least be doing, you know, it like how can I do an untold story on a motherfucker that that never did shit? That uh it don't make it makes any sense. Actually, it makes no sense. Untold stories on what? I mean, what what how can I do it? It makes no sense. So you gotta actually have something going on, like a little bit of something. It could be nothing, but hopefully it's a little bit of something. But I don't discriminate, you don't have to be a major artist for us to do it on. So I'm gonna pick that clear so anybody watched any of my untold stories. You could be a regular artist and we can actually do it. And I'm I'm gonna I'm gonna say something real quick because um I was watching some shit and I heard Ray Daniels say something. And I I really don't agree with a lot of Ray Daniels shit, but I do agree with some Ray Daniels shit. He said a lot of men, uh females and women get in their feelings with with they let their pride get in their way. Like you tell them, give give somebody criticism or tell them how shit doesn't go and they get pissed off. That that could fuck up this. That could fuck up their business. You know, I learned when I what this is what I learned when I was working for the cracker, because that's that's that's one of these businesses crackers. You're a racist. No, I ain't a racist. People call us niggas, like niggas run, you know that I slipped up. I heard today a person said that nigga owned Jones Graphics. I heard it today at the mall. I said, I don't know damn well that white motherfucker didn't call me a nigga. So you have people that say, no, you have people to say, I work for the cracker. I'm like, damn. That's what they say. I ain't say that. That's most black people say that that working for someone that's punching a clock if they ain't punching a clock for themselves. And most white people will say, Well, that dude worked for the nigga. That's a nigga-owned company. I hear it every fucking day. I own Jones Graphics, and I'm affiliated with Watson Printon that's owned, that's owned by a Caucasian brother. See, I don't ever say that. I it is what it is. Uh you watch Archie Bunker, you hear cracker and nigga on Archie Bunker. So I want nobody getting offended today. Oh, that nigga said cracker. No, I I heard today at the food court, Jones Graphics. You know, they got they had the Jones Graphics clothes on. Jones Graphics. Man, that nigga owned that.

unknown 14:57

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_02 14:58

No, he said a nigga on it. They know I was the owner. I said, God damn. And they said it loud so I can hear this shit. But it's like 14 work, 14 construction workers, lumbo motherfuckers, like niggas that chopped down wood. I wasn't about to get no shootout. Well, that would have been a shootout because I ain't gonna have them whoop my ass at the food court at the mall. Let me teach y'all something. If I was sensitive and I was emotionally disturbed by words, that would have got me in a fight or dead or a shootout and locked up, whatever you want to call it. I ignore that shit. Sometimes we gotta ignore it. No, you need to. If somebody tells you something that you gonna learn something, don't ignore that. I this mic is covering my goddamn shirt. I don't like that. Hold on for a minute. Put this mic right here. I want to see my fucking shirt. Shit. This is a new motherfucker. This is the newest, one of the newest CX1 DJ shirts. We ain't cover, we're not gonna cover this the whole show. Hell fucking no. This new and it's polyester, and that's the new hat. So anybody want hats and shit? Uh the hats are$35, shirts is$55. This shirt right here is is I like this one. I would turn it this is like for the warm weather and shit. With the one y'all pay for is the the one that we selling for$55 is cotton. This is polyester, this is$65. But it comes with this, and they can have your name right there. See, my damn my name says DJ Butter Rock right there. But whoever buys it, we put their name or we won't put no name. It's got the YouTube logo and the CX1 DJ Podcast, and this is just the channel name. I kind of want people to get used to wearing the t-shirts with the channel, and we we switch them up. We have the logo, the actual logo, the podcast logo, and then we have the channel. So we do switch up. We about to get it to where now uh uh at uh 35 after we got to start, they said. Because we're waiting on one more other PR to um tune in. I don't know if they're gonna be on YouTube, Dansay. They got all the links. We got we on live on right now on three different platforms Facebook, YouTube, and X. No, four. Hold on. Facebook, YouTube, X, and Instagram. So we live right now on four platforms. And some people don't like logging into YouTube. I don't know what the fuck that is, man. Some people don't like it. Some people say that they'll do without it. I don't I don't understand that shit, but some people say they do without it. All right, so I want to I want to say this real quick. I want to thank my whole team, the vice president of CX1 DJ's TCAP for all your hard work, sir. Appreciate you. I want to thank uh DJ Money, but I want to say this to everybody. None of this shit is personal, it's all business. And we always we always I tell everybody we fact check everything. So it's everything is that's what I do. Going forward in this shit, I'm fact-checking if niggas say, yo, that shit is a roach on a wall. But really, it's just a spot that look like a goddamn. So I'll go look and see if it's a roach. Nigga, that's a spot, nigga. You gotta check it. If a nigga tell me it's a roach on my business, my my my my wall in my studio or at my office, you wanna make sure that ain't a fucking roach. So one of the customers might come in there, or one of your employees might see it, or somebody coming to your house and they think you know, think you nasty, motherfucker. Because you can have a spot on the wall and look like a fucking roach. And in reality, it's it's a spot. So what I'm saying, we gotta check everything out. That's it. Nothing personal. Now, I will say this. We're trying to get to where we need to get to. And we're gonna, I think everybody, including me, need to be tested. Because if you're about to get to the bag, you don't want people that's not testable around you. So I'm testing everybody. I'm testing my dog, my homies, my girlfriend. And it don't be, it don't, no, not no big ass tests. We ain't talking about no shit that you can't pass, nigga. Simple shit. I'm a smart man. I've been doing this shit a long time, y'all. I ain't just started CX1 DJs and and started this shit yesterday. And like, I don't know what the fuck I'm doing. And I like I said, one thing about me, I don't know about nobody the fuck else. I'm a man of my word. And I told T Cap I'm gonna thank that nigga every day because he the one that told me to do this shit. And without him pushing me to do it, I'll be doing something else. Poly porn movies or some shit. DJing fucking and I'm into all that shit. Pause. Long as a bitch. T Cap, you don't even know, he probably saved my life because I'm gonna be doing some other shit. I mean, it all always would be in entertainment. You know what I'm saying? So, I mean, T Cap said, Your butter rocker, I believe in you, bro. I think you could do this shit. He would have been telling me this for years, and I tell him every every show, small and big, I'm gonna mention that nigga. And T Cap, you appreciate it. If you don't know, you now you know. If you don't know, now you know, my nigga. We're gonna get that nigga's flowers every time we do a show. Cause T Cap believed in me when I ain't I said, man, I ain't got for one, I know I could do it, but I ain't want honestly. I did the pot, I did the I did the CX1 DJ's worldwide conference call for over 15 fucking years. T Cat was on most of them. He like, man, I I believe, I I believe in you could do it, man. It's the same. I'm gonna tell y'all some shit. Y'all need to learn and hear what I'm about to say. Video and over the phone is totally fucking different. You gotta look at the camera, you gotta get, you know, you gotta get fly. You know, you could do a commerce call in your boxes, man. You brought the breath can be stinking, your eyes can be crushed. So when you start hitting the lights, and you gotta be, it's a whole bunch, a whole bunch of process going into this shit. Don't worry. We're gonna get we don't worry, we're not shortchanging run DMC. We was already late.

I'm from I'm from up top, so we're gonna be, we're gonna we're gonna give it to you. When you say Reddalurk, you don't say DJ Reddalurk. And two, it's meant for you to say DJ Reddalurk. Rudd alurk means you bigger than a fucking DJ. You already mastered that DJ name already. When you listen to the radio, it says Reddalurk on. It depends on who's talking about DJ Reddalurk. They'll say DJ Red Alurk is on. But Rudd Alurk wants you to announce him as Rudd Alurk. Jam Master J wants you to announce him as Jamaster J, not DJ Jammaster J. Some certain people it slided. Jam Master J did not like you calling him a DJ, Untold Stories. He wanted you to call him Jam Master J. He would fucking get in fights when people call him a DJ. He like, man, I passed that DJ shit. I'm on a global. I was he was said he Jam Master J RP to that brother. He was a global superstar before he was a global superstar. You might say, who the fuck made Runde MC? Jam Master J made Run DMC. Without Jam Master J, it wouldn't be no Run DMC. We're gonna start there. We're gonna get into his death. We're gonna get into what happened to all these three people and where they're at today. Because I got all the T. I don't like saying T. That sounds pause. I don't got no T. I done got the info. We ain't doing the T over here at CX1 DJs. We don't, we doing, we doing uh apple juice. I got the apple juice. That just sounds crazy. I got the info. So let's get into it. 1980. Russell Simmons was in college. You know, he was NYU. Y'all know that. So, untold story, we don't go back to the shit. We know y'all niggas know. Or y'all say, Oh, we do, he doing, he doing run DMC. Make me do my research. We already know niggas doing that. You niggas, uh anybody, you know. Let me see. Let me see if he's on top of his shit. Because he's doing an untold story. But I just Google this and I saw this, and if he report died, he got it from here. So that ain't no untold story. I know that's why we got PRs to get shit. That's not online. 1980. This shit ain't online. You won't find it on nowhere online. Russell Simmons was on 125th Street in Harlem. He was going to NYU. And he's a college kid, right along with the other guy from Def Jam. This ain't about them. So I don't want to make this shit about Russell and Leo Cohns, anybody from that came with Def Cham. It's not. Okay. So Russell was dusted out. Russell was on dust back in the 80s. Russell got got on a person introduced the dust, dust, like you know, drugs, dust, angel dust, introduced that when he was in college. So he was dusted fucking out when he was joking with Run and DMC. Because y'all know Run is Reverend Run, and you DMC is the other, other artists. So you you pit run together and you bit DMC, that's they together. So the other gentleman, if we're not talking about Reverend Run, the other gentleman's name is DMC. And y'all already know who Jeremaster J is. So I want you when I do tell a story on everybody understand that DMC is this one person and run is another person. A lot of people don't run DMC. What the fuck? That's just a group. They brung they bring the two brothers, the two people together, which they're not related. So people thought they was cousins. They're not related. DMC is not related to run, all right? Just get that shit straight. And as I tell a story, I hope y'all paying attention. Take notes. You might learn something. Because I'm a good reader. And I study shit. And you just gotta see me one shit. I study that shit and I'll be up here. I might look at the paper for some shit. All right, so Russell Simmons, not allegedly, came straight from his people, was on dust when he thought about getting into the music industry. And uh dipping and dabbing with a lot of street motherfuckers, like on a high level, not to little drug dealers from the Russell was out there out outside before outside came. All right, so Russell dipped and dabbed on certain shit. And um, he like, man, uh, you know, high as fuck. I want I want to start a rap group, man, and run like, man, man, we we we do our little shit. And then he like, man, man, here's some shit. So keep in mind, I'm gonna take y'all back to the Roxy's. They did a show at the Roxy's, and at that time was on cassette tapes, and Jam Master J recorded the show they did at the Roxy's. He gave it to Russell. Untold stories. Let me let me let this shit ain't out there. Ain't nowhere. You won't find it nowhere on Google, nothing. Shout out to all my shout out to my people, my PRs, my journalists. So Jam Master J gave the cassette tape from the Roxy's when he DJ'd two nights before at the Roxy's. And he gave it to Russell Simmons. Russell played it, and it was a lot, and it was a lot of performance, yo. So he thought, oh, this shit kind of dope. All right. So we only got an hour and some change, so I gotta fast forward some shit. All right, so he he gave it to Russell, a couple other guys from um um uh what's the other label name?

SPEAKER_00 32:52

I wanna damn it.

SPEAKER_02 32:56

I won't look at no cheats. It was another label they were signed to. So being I don't know it, I'm not gonna fucking go look for it. Don't give a fuck. It was another label besides Dev Jam. So they were signed. It wasn't I think it's Parati, Parardi or Um Ruthless. It's between Parati, I think. I'm very sure it was Parati Records. Not Ruthless. But these parody at that time was big as fuck. And I'm 100%, I'm 100%, I'm I'm I'm 80% sure it was parody records they they had their first record there with. If I'm wrong, I'm gonna say allegedly parody records or uh or ruthless, but you gotta understand something. Before NWA, Ruthless was a real record label. Okay, and it was under under parody. So you you have and run DMC was coming in the game right when NWA was coming in the game. But I'm no 100% sure it was parody records. Because I remember the records. I remember having them when Run DMC came out, we hung no shits on the wall. So we're gonna say, we're gonna go with Parati. But if I'm wrong, we're gonna go with it. Being it's nothing bad said here. You know, but you you gotta say allegedly when you're saying something fucked up. This is something good. All right, so they were signed to Parardi Records. We're gonna go with that. And um, because it's not this is not on no internet no fuckingware. And um, they did here we go. It was look, niggas, listen to me. Here we go, here we go, here we go, here we go, here we go, here we go here, here we go. Y'all know how I go. So that that that one two one two that that one single no record label, yo. We talking about 1980. Don't give a fuck what you read on Google. 1980, here we go, came out. I remember most of you old niggas remember when that shit came out. 1980, like it was 79, 1980. Run DMC was the first I say gutter, hardcore rap group out there. It's like you you you going back from that Shiny suit shit and that Grandmaster Flash, the message shit, uh, Mellie Mel. It was that disco rapping shit. Rum DMC made it gangster. Everybody else followed Rum DMC. They made it, they made it, they made it rugged and gangster and still pop and rock at the same time. I want y'all to go back and look and listen to the sound of music back then. Nobody made that, it was that that beatbop. It was that real hip-hop. That bob the bar, that Melly Mel and the Busy Beat shit, that shit and that Kumo D shit, they it's some reason that music in it, that music sound stayed like that. That the one, two, three bubblegum shit. It was some good, you know what I'm saying? But you gotta understand who brung the real hip-hop to the scene was run fucking DMC. When anybody watched this Untold Stories, you can't deny Run DMC brung hip-hop to hip-hop. All right, this before I get into all the accolades, because I ain't gonna watch this shit. I'm gonna take my time with the run DMC shit. Alright, so Russell did that. Russell, you know, it don't just jump into success. We're not gonna say it was a lot of bullshit. Um Jammaster J figured, you know, run and DMC was getting too much, the two other artists was getting to more shiny. He was when he was the one bringing the flavor. He the one rocking the parties. He the one making sure the crowd is hype before Run DMC get on the goddamn mic. So, of course, it was tension with Jam Master J and Run DMC in the beginning. See, when y'all see lights and cameras, you know, you think all these niggas get along. Untold story of Run DMC. Personally, they didn't get along. Look at that picture. It looked like they all friends, right? Run DMC and Jairmaster J did not get along. They did a lot of shit for business. They learned, you haven't heard that shit. Like a lot of people in my career don't fucking like me. I know you niggas don't like me. You don't like me, nigga. Nigga, we love you, nigga, please. You get on that nerve, butter rock, but you love nah, nigga. Tell the truth. Back to the story. So, run DMC did not get along with Jam Master J. Really, DMC, him and run bumped heads all the time. I I studied the shit the PRs gave me, baby, in my journalists. Said, Butter Right, you doing an untold story. You gotta say shit nobody fucking now. Matter of fact, run and DMC got in the fight at the fever. Disco fever. Going to blows, pow, pow, pow. Actually, getting out the limo. What y'all know about that untold story? I love my job. I never knew that run them run DMC got in a fight outside in the limo, high as fuck, outside the fever. Disco fever, nigga. Look it up. Well, you might don't see that part because back then, when they got in this fight, they was already boom. King of Rock was already out. They was already feeling they self. Back then, albums was selling for$15. So when somebody says you sold a hundred thousand copies, your ass sold a hundred thousand copies and more. Matter of fact, let's get into these niggas' accolades because we don't got all day.

unknown 39:00

All right.

SPEAKER_02 39:02

Run the MC was the first, first, from Melly Mel, boba, ball, b, bang, bab, bang, bab, black, get that down. From the message, all the mother that wasn't the fierce five, all the motherfuckers. Run DMC was the first rap group to have a gold record. You know it was rappers in the 70s, right? They didn't have a gold record. That wasn't selling gold. They ain't sell gold. Run DMC was the first rap group that went gold in 1983. Run DMC. Listen to me, I'm gonna bring y'all. I'm gonna Okay, y'all gotta. We're gonna be back and forth. So Runde MC, King of Rock album went platinum, 1985. No rap artist. Single, no Big Daddy King. Now, Big Daddy King was on a hey, you had um a lot of people know Big Daddy King came in 1988. So 1985, you you you have mostly RB guys killed like Keith Sweat, all them kind of guys came right like right after. Run DMC was the only hip-hop artist, honestly, out there. Only the person next person was next to Run DMC was LL Kujay. So we're gonna leave. So I gotta leave some of the shit out because I can't talk about Russell all fucking night. So after they left, and I just got the text message. It was it was Parate Records. After they left Parate, Russell and his and his people started Def Jam. Immediately after they left after they did the uh Here We Go, they signed a multi-million dollar deal with Def Jam Records. Now, Ron didn't like it because he didn't want Russell over it. So they had the other other partners with Def Jam that pretty much um came in and did what they did. But see, one thing about back then, these guys was under Russ management while being signed to Jeff Jam Dev Jam. So one thing smart about Russell Simmons, he made sure that the Dep Jam contract, being he owned part of Depth, was shit, he owned the Dep Jam. But having the other partners and other investors that own Dep Jam, it made it legal for him to manage Run DMC. Like I said in a couple of my other episodes, you can't manage a person owning a company, but you can manage a person longs to companies is two different names, two different LLCs, two different corporations. So you actually can get away with that shit because Run DMC, Puffy, everybody in the fucking business made sure the artist management stayed in there. Now, now back to when it got to 1982. What yeah, what's up? 1989, Violator started working with Rush Management. So Chris Lighty started managing Run DMC, untold story. Oh, did Run DMC. So Chris Lighty came in under Rush Management and was managing Run DMC back then in the 80s. You niggas didn't know that. So Chris shout out to RP to Chris Lighty. God damn, he was into all kinds of shit. Carrying records for DJ Riddlerk, managing Run DMC. I'm quite sure he was underpaid like hell over there in Russ Management, but they ain't my job. That ain't my job. I'm just reporting this shit. I'm just some news reporter. I ain't I'm just a journalist. I don't know what the fuck who got paid, but I don't think he was doing a lot of shit. Shout out to Chris Lighty, Violator, Russ Management. Yeah, so get into it. They were the first rap artists that went platinum with the King of Rock. They got a bunch of records. They uh one of the one of the first rap groups that did a lot of rock music and broke the barrier when you wasn't popular. You could not get on MTV back in the 80s. Did they walk this way with Aaron Smith? They got on B, they got on fuck a B.A.T. Excuse me. MTV was big as fuck back then. They got on MTV when Michael Jackson at the time could not get on MTV. Everybody wanted to be run the MC. Who didn't want to wear the Adidas and the hats and shit like that? It was the There was one in the rap. They pit hip hop on the map. Without Run the MC, I don't think none of these rappers will be here. There was one in the they are one of the first rap groups that ever had a Dorsman by Adidas, Levi. Gap. Um any it's all the Dorseman's these guys right now the popular Dorseman they had was with Adidas. And and Brun says, and I'm gonna play his clip today, he like, yeah, shit. I wasn't thinking about no adorsmans. I ain't thinking about getting paid by Adidas. I was just, you know, we were just wearing the shit that we wear in the hood. You know what I'm saying? I'm gonna play that video today. And he put him up and say he wasn't looking for no money, but the money came. Say when you when you stay down and you stay loyal to what the fuck you doing, the shit'll come. And you just stay yourself, be yourself. It's really about being your fucking self. It's it's it it shit happens. So run the out. Like I said, we ain't got that many, you know. We we we only 13 minutes over, so 9 13, we gotta be done. So I can't be here all night. This just run the MC shit. That's gonna be a part two. So millions of records, they put so many people on. Who you think pit Onyx out? Who you think brung Onyx? Jam Master J found Jam Master J and DMC discovered Onyx. Y'all didn't know that. They brung Onyx to Dep Jam. Matter of fact, the first time Onyx came on the scene in 1990, actually he invited Jam Master J. He invited Stinky Fingers to come to one of the sessions. And he came there, and then that's how that relationship started. Jam Master J pit on a lot of fucking people. RP the Jam Master J. Okay? From all the millions of records they sold. All they singles, uh I got my singles, they had 13 singles that went gold, uh, five albums that went double platinum. King of Rock went platinum in 1985. So we can't get down. I won't be here going out all the accolades. Definitely um once the Crush Screw movie came out, it pit Run DMC was already on a map at night in '85 and '86 when Crush Crew came out in 1985. So 85, Run DMC was already a megastar. You can book Run D MC unless you had over$3 million back in over$3 million back in the 80s. They started doing, they got endorsement with Pepsi. They went on a world tour with Pepsi in 1986. Went to Germany, uh, Germany, Japan, um, London, and also uh Australia. They was all over the fucking world with Pepsi. They was on a world tour with Pepsi for three years. What fucking black hip hop group you know to get a Dorsman by Pepsi besides Michael Jackson? Like Michael Jackson, pretty much Run the MC was the black Beatles. They gave him the they gave them that title, the Black Beatles. You might say, damn, that that sounds offensive. No, it's not offensive. That's like giving you your fucking flowers. And the racism was so bad back in the 80s. Shit, the racism bad now. So imagine being young, these guys is 19, 20, no, not even 20, 19, 18, shit like that. The oldest one on the group was Jam Mr. Jack. Let's get into it. So all the records are selling. Untold stories of Randy MC. And people spending money, you know, you get that budget, and you know, you like. But some of these brothers are still living in fucked up apartments in Queens. You know, only one that was moving up a little bit was Russell. So people say, Yeah, yeah, blood don't blood on, you know, you gotta watch what you're doing with blood. So Run got into a Russell. See that Crush Grew shit. If y'all go watch the movie Crush Grew, that was a true fucking story. Run didn't fucking like Russell. So when I got the notes to do the show, and I was that's why the show was kind of late because I was waiting on the PR, they PR from Dev Jam, and the PR that worked with them give me the right proper notes so I could report. That's not out there already. Pretty much is out there that Run didn't get along with Russell, but it's not really out there. He really didn't get along with Russell. You're like, why is that? Number one, Russell at that time, and Russell would tell you himself, he had a drug problem. He he it was told, not allegedly. I got the I got the information to back my shit up. He fucked up some money, the money was fucked up. Um the business was run right as far as with Def Jam and Parate and shit like that. Um run uh, I mean, um Russell made sure it was certain professional people in place to make sure they shit was good, but a lot of money, you know, you have you have a person that you trust, you like, man, I ain't I ain't gonna worry about that, man. I'm I'm gonna make sure I I think we in good hands. We we're gonna get our points, we're gonna get that. Whatever is whatever Dorsman deal we're supposed to get, we're gonna get it. Whatever uh, you know, back then, them young brothers don't know nothing about no split sheet. So they're gonna they're gonna they're gonna assume they they're gonna get everything they supposed to get. Unfortunately, unfortunately, a lot of brothers didn't get what they supposed to get. So that kind of in a nutshell, that kind of what broke up the group. If you ain't getting paid for some shit and that you busting your ass and you on these tours, you know, when you go on tour, I'm gonna tell y'all something. You don't see that money right away. You might the record label might give you an allowance, but you don't see the money right away. People think when they hit this, they hit the road, they see the money. You don't see the money when you're on tour. You see that shit probably six months after you're off tour. I've been on tour before. Okay, AskAp don't pay that shit, and that's who pay you. You got you got your ass gap, BMI, and you're at, you know, you had CSAP. You don't get paid immediately when you're off tour. Well, you you ain't getting paid shit. They got tied off the ticket sales, they got it each same you out of the country. Man, bro, you just gotta when they give you an allowance or uh or or uh uh it's a we call it an allowance, but in the record business, it's a budget. You got a budget for the tour. This hey, this cover your wardrobe, this cover your food, this cover your hotel, boom. But then they take it out of whatever you owe them. They they recoup that after the tour is over. The record companies do that. Y'all know that. Some of you guys don't know that. So once everything was recruited, DMC, like, where the fuck is my money? We talk about DMC, the other the guy with the glasses. It's like, where the fuck is my shit? He ain't getting paid shit. And like, where the fuck is my money at? Run like, yo, I don't know what the fuck. Like, your brother, you know, then go when you know your brother's over there, so your brother got it. No. My yo, this is the record business, so they gotta recruit everything they spent. So you have this this video, you got this clothes. Well, we got endorsements. Where the money at from the endorsements? When the record company owes money, keep in mind, yo, the record company, Def Jam was just starting. Run DMC was one of the first artists. Matter of fact, was the first artist that Def Jam had. LOK was the second artist. Slick Rick and all Slick Rick came after, I think LO Slick Rick came right after LL. Everybody else came after EPMD, and everybody else came after Run DMC set the standards for EPMD, L O Ku J, Slick Rick, um, who else was on the public enemy? It's a bunch of Dev Chan at one time, the Beastly Boys, and y'all already know that Jamaster J had a lot to do with the Beastly Boys. Come on, y'all know that. Um, um, um, MC Search. Um, a lot of people, man. So we gotta take our hats off the uh to Jairmaster J. Let's get into 2000 in the early 2000s when the J Master J got murdered. Okay, it's out there, okay. It has something to do with drug dealing or whatever, whatever. I personally don't believe that. I personally believe it has something to do with him helping 50 Cent. Because, you know, this is DJ Butterock's opinion, and my opinion only CX1 DJs, because I wasn't there withn, whatever happened. But gratefully, they caught the people that that unalived him. They claim he owed money, it was some drug shit. I personally believe, and God knows I'm not right, it had something to do with him helping 50 Cent because he got unalived right after 50 got his deal. All that shit happened right after 50 got his deal. Chris Lighty helped him out, and you know, years, a couple years later, Chris is not here. So I'm gonna letting y'all know. Because at first, I'm gonna be honest, at first they were trying to say that it was a suicide with Jam Master J. Untold story of Run DMC. And Jam Master J is the brains and uh the person that put together Run DMC. And you might say, why would why would be DJ, why would Jam Master J, legendary, Grammy Award winning? They're on the hip hop hall of fame. All this shit these guys accomplish. Run DMC, Run DMC is one of the most popular hip hop, multi-platinum, worldwide superstar group ever. Ever, ever, ever, ever. No one's gonna top Run DMC. And the fame, the record sales, any of that. We're talking about the 80s, y'all. We ain't talking about the fake streaming shit and all the book. We're talking about the 1980s and the 90s. They ruled the whole 80s and then they came into the 90s, had to change the and and flipped up what they had going on. King of Rock was one of their biggest albums, it's still selling as we speak. And um I want to say this before we get into the video portion of this. It will be a part two to this, but I think I covered most of the shit that you guys didn't know. Now, um, they did look up to they did mentor Tupac as well. They mentor, they mentored Karas One, they mentored uh Big Daddy Kang. They mentored Roxanne Shantae. This group right here made sure all the young rappers in the 80s that was getting into the music business back then, no matter what regulator they was, what regulator they were with, they had the knowledge of no don't do what they do. Don't don't don't do what they do and don't fall for the bullshit. Now I will say, I will say this drugs and alcohol played a real big factor on how a lot of these artists, give me my mic right here, how a lot of these artists failed. Money, blowing your money too quickly would never would never be the good thing to do. People think when they get a record deal, it's time to go shopping. It's time to go get that money. It ain't it ain't it ain't hell up, it ain't time to do none of that. No one brought a house. Before I get into the video portion, let's get I want I want y'all to get I want y'all to feel me out here. Nobody went out and brought a house when they first got their first check. Run DMC was still living in a two-bedroom apartment when they did, here we go. Jam Master J was still not living in no house. So everybody was still in poverty selling with a gold record. You have a you can't how can you wake up and know that you still in poverty with a gold record? Anybody, anybody, anybody got anybody can imagine that? You have a gold record. You have a goal, listen to me, because I'm looking for the video. You have a gold record, but you still living in the projects. Or you have a I want you all to really pay attention to what I'm saying. You have a goal record, but you are not where you need to be at. People are like, where the fuck the money at? Let's get into the video, y'all. Run DMC, Untold Stories.

SPEAKER_07 57:05

My Adidas. And we didn't make that record to get money from Adidas or nothing. We just made it because it was like I say, this is what all the youth wear, and it was like our tribute to our sneakers. Like when we first started, we didn't um put on no fancy costumes because run DMC is no gimmicks or nothing. We straight up and we straightforward. And this what I'm wearing now, and what we wear on stage is just what all the youth wear. That's what you know. Run DMC untold stories. And we didn't make that record to get money from Adidas or nothing. We just made it because it was like I say, this is what all the youth wear, and it was like our tribute to our speakers. Like when we first started, we didn't um put on no fancy costumes because Run DMC is no gimmicks or nothing. We straight up and we straightforward. And this what I'm wearing now, and what we wear on stage is just what all the youth wear. That's what you know, that's what all our fans wear. So dressing this way lets them know, oh, you just like me. That's why we got around to go to things I do makes me a star. And you can be too if you know who you are. Just put your money too if you go real far. Like your pillow to the metal when you're driving a car.

SPEAKER_05 58:11

We just don't think America is running the MC music.

SPEAKER_09 58:19

We just make what we like to make, and you know, usually what we like a lot of other people like whatever we feel we wanna make, we just go ahead and make it recording. Heavy metal discoveries. Back in like the 70s, we used to have all the disco records with no beats on this. So we had to find something that's cracked. So we would take the heavy metal records and distract the drum cloud over and over. So that's how we came up with the heavy metal idea. We said we're gonna make the record and leave some of the guitar in and take it away at time with the drum discs. But if we made, you know, heavy metal just with the guitars in the discussion.

SPEAKER_05 59:04

People like Melly Melon. Um, drum must. Uh, records like the message.

SPEAKER_08 59:10

I'm moving up Adidas, I'm JMSJ, DJ Run, and my name is DMC, and this is my man Harry Kane from around the way, you know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_10 59:20

How the squeeze that is. Word up, and we always rock Adidas on our feet with no shoestrings in 'em. I did not win them. I bought him up the app with the lead optimum. I like to sport them, that's why I brought him. A sucker try to steal him, so I caught him and I bought him. And I walked down the street and boped to the beat with Lee on my leg and Adidas on my feet. And yo, now I'm just standing here shootin' the gif.

SPEAKER_06 59:47

Me and D my Dita standing on a two-fit. My Dita. Yeah, we just like to wear D this cause this is what we always were, you know what I'm saying? We don't wanna change up. Everybody was coming in Vapila and V-boxin and Nu Black and New Blackness and Boomer. And we see that the Adidas was going down, everybody was saying, Hey, why am I getting on the new blackness now? Why am I wearing V-Box? Why am I wearing feeling?

SPEAKER_01 1:00:09

And we said, What do y'all feel out there?

SPEAKER_08 1:01:53
