Can Fred Durst, Kid Rock and the guy from Third Eye Blind save Run-DMC's career? It's tricky...

I actually remember when that music video first aired! I was actually kinda excited for it! It really helps if you know the context behind the video - which goes beyond just being about DMC wanting to try out a different genre of music. You see the MV premiered after a VH1 produced special about D learning that he was adopted, and going on a journey to reconnect with his birth mother and find out the why of it all, while also writing and producing a song about this and sampling/covering(?) Harry Chapin's "Cat's in the Cradle" for the song. D got in touch with Sarah McLachlan because he was a big fan of her music and felt that her voice would bring something that would tie the song together (this was also like 2003 I think, and we had the precedent for it in place with Eminem's "Stan" where he samples Dido's "Thank You" and has her do a feature for the song, so that likely had some influence on D), and she said yes because she's a fan of him as well, and while they're recording together D learns from Sarah that she is also a child of adoption which inspires him to write the lyric "There's a lotta people just like me" for the song.

Darryl credits Sarah Mclachlan for saving his life when he was suicidal, which I think colors my feelings about their collab. Of course his style is dated and he was well aware he wasn’t well suited for newer trends. But I am sure recording with her meant a lot to him, so I’m happy about that.

Seems many of these albums being created save either a band or artist: 1. St Anger is a necessary evil of practically no good songs from sessions of a now sober James Hetfield feuding with Kirk and Lars over feeling unappreciated that he’s cleaned up but in the end, it kept them together to continue music 2. American Dream is created on a promise by Neil Young to David Crosby that if Crosby got clean, he’d rejoin CSNY. Granted it seems to suffer from identity crisis but it probably contains more good tracks than St Anger

@@JJ-fg2wd it would have been legendary, unfortunately the bossman wanted moar collabs and he didn't mean two rap groups working the whole album together. Also I don't think D and Run really would have been able to work out their stylistic differences there though. Darryl wanted to make a much poppier, rock-style record and Rev wanted something more on the pulse of harder hip-hop. Neither of them was super interested in reminisces of their heyday in the 80s, and you can say what you want about their solo works as far as perceived quality goes but I feel like they just drifted apart musically. It was Jay's murder that really cemented that Run-DMC was over, but I suspect if he had lived it wouldn't have saved the group (though there might have been a few more albums, maybe with a couple gems on them).

Run-DMC was a lot like the Beastie Boys in the fact that not only were they both rap groups that crossed over to the rock crowd, their members also traded rhymes and subverted the rap group formula of each member getting a full verse. If you take one of them out of the equation, their entire formula gets messed up. That’s why this was the final Run-DMC album and the Beastie Boys never released any music after MCA passed away. For both groups, their whole was greater than the sum of their parts.

It’s probably their weakest non instrumental album but it still has some good songs and it’s a decent 6/10 album in my opinion. It also went to #1 on the Billboard 200 so it wasn’t commercial flop at all. And 2011’s “Hot Sauce Committee Part 2” went to #2 on the charts, was received well, and some of the singles (mainly “Make Some Noise”) were decently popular. So I don’t think the Beasties ever had a Trainwreckord.

I was once looking through old VHS footage from the 80s for a video I was making, and I found one of some white teenagers chilling outside a high school wanting to make a music video to test out their new VHS Camera. One of them said "let's make one of those rap videos" and another said "yo yo yo we're Run DMC and we are black," and everyone burst out laughing like it was the funniest thing they have ever heard. THAT is the environment that Run DMC broke out of. The fact that they were able to sow the seeds for the 90s hip hop explosion in that kind of soil is a feat that cannot be overstated.

It’s entertaining to learn about an artist’s fall from grace, and it also gives me an opportunity to learn more about music history from before my time. Sure, _Crown Royal_ may have been during my lifetime, but Run-D.M.C.’s prime was before I was born, so I was very excited to learn more about hip-hop’s early years.

You can really tell how quickly people can fall behind the times with this story. Sugar Ray, Third Eye Blind, Kid Rock, Fred Durst, like these would have been solid gets in 1998-1999, but even by 2000 they were all having their moments end very, very fast. It doesn't help that nu-Metal and rap-rock as a whole always felt like an unstable hybrid, and then there's the Napster in the room everyone is ignoring which threw a lot of style plans out of whack I'm sure. To quote Todd himself from an earlier video-- "it's like I watched the fall of the Roman Empire."

Speaking of Fred Durst, I hope Todd will eventually cover Limp Bizkit's Results May Vary on this show. I mean, considering the troubled production that the album went through, how the band lost guitarist Wes Borland, and how critically bashed it was when it came out, as well as serving as a giant killer for nu-metal, that album was basically made for this show.

I'm from 1965, which means I was alive and aware of things when every Trainwreckord came out. The only awareness I've had of any of them before I found this channel two years ago, was exactly this: 1. I knew CCR: Sweet Hitchhiker existed when it was released in 1972, but didn't know it was from an album called Mardi Gras. 2. I knew Styx: Kilroy Was Here existed when it came out, cos you basically would've had to go to space to avoid it. 3. I knew Cher and Gregg Allman were a couple in 1976 (same reason as in 2 above), but not that they made an album together. So for all the people out there is thinking they never heard of these albums cos they plummeted into a well-deserved obscurity decades before they were born, I can tell you that they were already deservedly obscure at the time. Imagine being alive in 1977, and finding out that two music legends, that you knew about, made an album that year, but you find out in 2021. That's the truly shocking thing about how bad these albums are.

Great choice for a Trainwreckord. In the video for “Black Beatles”, Todd mentioned about who would be considered the black version of the Beatles. To me, Run DMC would count as one of the most groundbreaking rap artists and influential musicians (like The Beatles, minus the rapping). They were the first rap artist to perform at the Grammys, first to have a corporate endorsement with Adidas, and the only rap group to play at Live Aid in 1985, among the other pioneering events mentioned by Todd. It’s amazing how much they accomplished that even this pile of “how do you do, fellow kids?” mediocrity still doesn’t stain their stellar reputation as an essential part of the history of rap as this genre turned 50 years this year. R.I.P. Jam Master Jay (January 21, 1965 - October 30, 2002).

Also...that Black Eyed Peas' Trainwreckords of "The Beginning" is happening for sure, I can feel it.

I really appreciate the way Todd conceptualizes these big artists really quickly but without assuming that the audience already knows. The tv programs that let you see and hear what was popular in the 60s/70s/80s/90s, and then see your favorite artists of today talk about how it influenced them, basically don't exist anymore. Even if they do, no one's watching them in the background or because there's nothing else to watch at 1am. Even the biggest pop culture icons don't get preserved through that osmosis anymore.

I agree with Results May Vary and The Beginning, RMV went downhill from the beginning since that was their first (and only) album without guitarist Wes Borland (who's a criminally underrated player, I don't listen to LB but man his riffs are insane) and plus their cover of The Who's Behind Blue Eyes is just kinda weird. As for the Black Eyed Peas, the only decent song off that album imo was The Time (which itself sampled a song from Dirty Dancing) but I don't listen to them so I don't know anything else about the album tbh

Makes sense that this project would happen. I remember there was a brief period when Run DMC were getting played on alternative rock stations. Don't think they were playing them before, but once rap metal started dominating the format, they suddenly fit right in. I think their version of "Walk This Way" was still a retro lunch hour staple as late as 2007. Somebody should really do a video on the history of that format, how it went from mostly new wave and post-punk to "grunge and stuff that sounds like grunge" to "OK, the Beastie Boys are OK to play now" to "OK, Metallica is OK to play now" to "OK, Eminem is OK to play now" to "Stuff you'll hear over the intercom at Target," which is where we've been for the last 15 years or so. Also, this is the most 2000 thing I've heard.

​@@Oceanmachine27Try being a teenager who didn't like hair metal...in the early 80's. I was the only one my age who liked The Doors, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, and Jefferson Airplane. Chicago, with its club scene full of great music, was only 50 miles up the road, but without money and a car, it might as well have been on the moon. The only reason I knew about the 60's stuff was, my social studies teacher told me he'd donated all his records to the school library. My neighbors showed me AC/DC and Led Zeppelin in 1979. I got 30's dance music and country from my grandparents. None of my contemporaries knew what any of this stuff was. But when I moved to California in 1984, my neighbor got some Doors and Hendrix tapes, and loved it. He played them for his friends, and one of them said "I feel bad for making fun of her for liking this, it's fuckin great!" It was cool to come back and see Hendrix and Doors shirts on people who weren't me, or 40. Good times. One neat thing: I first heard Jimi Hendrix: 1983...a merman I should turn to be... in October 1983.
