Nichole McNair I remember this song when I was a kid! I couldn’t remember the title, but was telling my wife about it. The Madam CJ Walker part. I don’t think she believed me! The internet is phenomenal! Finally found it! I had it on tape too! So awesome!

[@bizzyd4u]

I got this tape in a hair relaxer, i still have it very very rare recording.

[@freshoutofedenusa782]

Me too

[@charlesclark8753]

That was the only way it was sold

[@Sk8LadyTre]

Wow! I had this tape when I was 7 years old. It came inside a home hair processing kit. My mom was going to throw it away and I snatched it.

[@geraldjohnson3216]

Good goin

[@jayelbee1111]

This song was once available on a cassette and it was included with a hair relaxer kit when my Mom brought it from a hair salon. My Mom threw it in the garbage, and was not aware that it was a Run-D.M.C. cassette tape in the kit. But my older brother took it out of the garbage. I remember my brother playing it on his boom box outside on the porch a few days later. This song bring me back to my teenage years.

[@charlesclark8753]

That's how it very first came out

[@jeanniebanks2278]

I remember when I was 12 years old and i got this cassette tape free in my perm kit. (Gentle Treatment) and when my cassette broke and I could never find this song until today, its been almost 30 years! So glad to find this!!!

[@ajefferson322]

Oh my goodness. Don't laugh at me. I'm an 80's baby, my dad gave me this song on a cassette. I played the hell out of this tape. Thank you for finding this. I'm so happy.

[@freshoutofedenusa782]

I got this tape too back then in my hair relaxer kit and it got lost or stolen, I have been looking for this song since then

[@DonKwame504]

As did I lol

[@mjmarvel81]

OMG! We did the same EXACT thing! We got our cassettes from my mom's CARE FREE CURL box kit! 🤣We played theeeee hell out of those cassettes! Man this brings back so many memories from my childhood. I can still smell the curl chemicals. 😂

[@IamBOGARDSTYLEZ11]

I've been looking for this since forever! Used to bump it continuously in 5th grade('85). These dudes put it in our minds from DAY 1.... "Change the world with your words". R.I.P JAM MASTER JAY 💪🏽

[@allthingsdarrelld]

Still have my copy of this on cassette!

[@iselasimone]

I have been looking for this song for the last 2-3 yrs.. so my nieces and nephews can learn what the school system does not teach. We had gotten it Free as previous stated. We got it with a purchase of a jar of tcb hair oil.. thank you

[@ImperfectMark]

I have taught in Virginia and Maryland and all of this information is covered (minus entertainmemt) in the high school curriculum. I see comments like this a lot and get confused as to where these kids must go to not have this information in their schools.

[@tanyasingstoo]

@@ImperfectMark I am FROM northern virginia. we DID NOT learn this in highschoo--nor was it a part of any curriculuml. Glad they are teaching it at YOUR school! #iamateacher

[@carolynlewis795]

Thank you soooo much for this post, I've looked high and low for this for years. I just played it for my grandson. I also remember getting the free cassette with the curl relaxer.

[@ikeonuorah1192]

took me way back to the 80's in Nigeria when I came across this as I was a die hard RUN DMC/ Def Jam fan! I use to rap this all day long & like everyone learnt sooooooooooo much about black peoples role in history. I was taking a shower just now & the song came to mind & I started rapping it. As soon as I came out of the shower & jumped on YT to see if it was here & to my pleasant surprise here it was! Just played the hell out of it & was transformed back to that kid in the 80's! FANTASTIC & A CLASSIC!

[@MAC9502]

I was a DJ back in the 80's ad had this song on cassette tape but lost it. This is as rare as they come.

[@G1manime]

My class performed this song back in Elementary school where we did a lot of performances for the whole school.

[@michaelglenn7172]

This tape came free in a box of Jheri Curl or Worlds of Curls cause that is how I got it back in the day. My dad always used activator and kits and I remember this song, played it over and over. Never knew till now it was Run DMC, I was probably like 10 or so at the time. Dope find!

[@jamesrankin1930]

I remember this tape, I lost mine when I joined the military. OMG thanks for saving this piece of my childhood

[@HopeOpaiQ]

I must be the only person that still has the original cassette! I'm from the UK but my auntie from Texas bought me a hair product and this cassette was in it as a free gift. Good times.

[@lechols3]

I started playing this for my class in !986. The kids loved it !

[@Shishaohanyi]

I don't care what month it is, this is SO important. I think this should be played at every school!

[@tamarawilliamsvanhorn6635]

My mom refuses to play our cassette because she's afraid to break it. Thank you!!!

[@rogerwilson6337]

WOW!!! I was 11 years old when this came out. Anybody who was somebody had a GIANT BOOMBOX radio, with this song blasting. The whole gym would be jammin to this.

[@kenjeter6853]

[@javierorobio5]

yes....I was just a kid, please how ca i get Kurti's part...thanks

[@Chuloloc]

Awesome. Like a lot of people here, I've too been looking for this for a very long time. Back in the mid 80's when hip hop was in the breakdance stage, I was in elementary school and there were people doing celebrations of black history month and I would go to my school auditorium which had a cafeteria and there were these presentations where the chorus to this song was narrated. Than, the song itself was performed on stage a couple of years and as a lover of old hip hop and heavy music, I was totally blown away. Thank you for posting it. Really appreciated. Hail Run DMC.

[@SupremeNerd]

I used to have the tape back in the day and have been looking for this song since then. Thanks to you and Freemake, I have it again
