Run DMC Sucker MCs

Run DMC sing Sucker MC's and battle Kool Moe Dee and Special K. Pay close attention to the young Italian guy in the Kangol hat.

@Grym hip hop is and has been dead for a long time so nah. It can't still be great if it doesn't exist anymore.

[@austindavid1862]

@Grym okay I kind of mis-spoke. What I meant by saying that hip hop is "dead" was that its no longer in the mainstream. How often do you hear any of the above mentioned MCs on the radio ? The new garbage ass rap is shoved down everyones throats especially the youth. And they pretend to like it bc everybody else does. How often do you see brothers rapping on corners n sh*t or a new school rapper that doesnt use autotune.

"Fly like a dove, I come from up above" was the go to rhyme back in the day. I remember I bought this cassette when it came out and was the first to have it at my school and dubbed it for everyone. I spent all my allowance on blank tapes. :/
