JMJ RIP.

I miss them.

Talk to em Mickey.

Cinnie would've appreciated this post

They even had EZ- E in the video. Shows how much influence RUN-DMC& J had on hip hop.

For as classic as their 80's era was, this was always my favorite Run DMC song. Pete Rock was on fire with his production at this time.

WOW!!! Haven't heard this one in awhile. Thanks for posting Micky D! Although this song came later in their career, it ranks up there with some of their best stuff. I agree Militant, Pete Rock was one of the hottest producers at the time (early 90's). Everybody would go to PR for a remix back then

this definitely is 1 of my faves from them,... this would still kill more than 1/2 the "rappers" out there 2day

You heard his remix of Monica's "Before You Walk Out My Life"? That is the fucking JAMMMMM!!!!! The drums drop hard like a MF!

Here's another track from the same record.

Pete Rock & CL Smooth ( They reminisce over you ) is one of my all time favorites.

Odd that it was around this time that Run began to practice his ministry and this is when the group really started to fall apart.

DMC lost his voice also.

That too. It's strange because before I knew of the story behind their collapse, you thought all three of them were still close after 20 years. Didn't know how fractured Run and DMC were in terms of their friendship. Jam Master Jay was literally the middle man and the one who kept the peace within the trio and his death not only ended Run DMC but ended their friendship for good. Though I think they still think of each other as brothers.

Oddly enough this album featured more raps from Run (and other rappers) than DMC. I think he started losing his voice around the time of the making of the album.

"Non-album"? Isn't "Don't Curse" on Peaceful Journey?

I have never, ever preferred the Pete Rock remix of "Shut 'em Down" over the original. The original sounds hard and angry (like it should), but the remix is a little too smooth for me.

Pete Rock also produced the sick track for Nas The world is yours.

it is, actually... 'you can't see what i can see' was the one not on an album... i confused them. i do have the 12", but got 'em mixed up... thanks for correcting me.

i prefer the original to 'shut 'em down' as well, but i do like the remix...

No problem. Ah, "You Can't See What I Can See"... how in the world does a track like that NOT make the album?

Yeah, I agree about "Shut 'em Down."

i know, right? i love how hev recycles the line he uses in 'we write the songs' in 'you can't see what i can see'... the "drink coco colo..." line.
