Rock The Bells -- LL Cool J
Sucker MCs -- Run-DMC

Rock Steady Crew had more than just one song. "Hey You (The Rock Steady Crew)" might have been their biggest hit, but I loved "Uprock".

Check it:

Hey You (The Rock Steady Crew): http://www.youtube.com/wa...5WXcDgF_WY

Fearless Four - Problems Of The World Today: http://www.youtube.com/wa...N84WHrYEGM

The Fearless 4 song isn't as good as I remembered it. confused
