The Album That Invented Hardcore Hip-Hop and Spread Its Gospel: Run-D.M.C. Changed the Sound of Music and Popular Culture, Includes “Rock Box”
40th Anniversary Edition of Run-D.M.C.'s 1984 Debut Benefits from Definitive Restorative Treatment: Mobile Fidelity's Hybrid SACD Is Strictly Limited to 2,000 Numbered Copies
The impact, influence, and importance of Run-D.M.C.'s self-titled debut – the album that invented hardcore hip-hop and bridged rap, rock, and funk in then-unparalleled ways – cannot be measured. The first full-length record released by Profile Records, the 1984 set permanently changed the sound of music, broadcast streetwise wisdom to every corner of the country, and made the notion of a one-man band a distinct reality. Bolstered by an incendiary blend of staccato deliveries, stark beats, aggressive exchanges, evocative hooks, and socially conscious messages, Run-D.M.C. still hits listeners in the jaw with the same intensity it did nearly 40 years ago when it could be heard booming from ghetto blasters carried around city blocks nationwide.
