RUN DMC GETS THEIR OWN STREET.

All ya'll rappers talk about be street. Ha! Now this is some REAL street shit. On August 30th, the corner of 205th St. & Hollis Ave will be renamed Run-DMC Way. Walk this way.

Run DMC on Reading Rainbow.

Whaaaaaaaaaaaat. Yesterday I find Levar Burton on Twitter, and now this? Talk about childhood memories, get your reminisce on with me. It's like I hopped in a Delorean and set the flux capacitor to 1986. On the real, I used to look FORWARD to this show, and always got mad geeked when that gangster ass psychedelic theme song started.

(Fun fact: Did you know Chaka Khan sang the OG theme song? Seriously. This show was fucking epic. That's like Alicia Keys lacing the intro for Dora the Explorer.)

Reading Rainbow was way iller than the crap they have on TV for kids nowadays. That's all mind control, brain washing and flashing lights. It's designed to keep your children QUIET and glued to the TV so you don't have to babysit them. No wonder kids grow up with ADD and inability to think for themselves. There's a reason they're called television "programs." They're conditioning these kids to be sheep.

Christmas in Hollis

It's not Christmas time until Daryl's momma cooks chicken and collared greens. Merry Christmas to all you hip hop lovers out there.

Public Enemy #1.

It's a debate that we've all had. From the corner, to barbershops, to schoolyard blacktops. From message boards, to house parties, to backyard BBQs. We have all argued over the greatest hip-hop song of all time.

VH1 has entered the argument and compiled its own list of the 100 greatest hip-hop songs, and Public Enemy’s black power anthem “Fight the Power” tops the list. Video Hits One will count down its list in a series of shows starting next Monday (Sept 29). The Top 5 looks like a little something like this:

(1) Public Enemy - "Fight The Power"
(2) Sugar Hill Gang - "Rapper's Delight"
(3) Dr. Dre - "Nuthin But a G-Thang"
(4) Run DMC - "Walk This Way"
(5) Grandmaster Flash and the Furious 5 - "The Message"


Salt ’N Pepa was the only female act in the top 10, with their early hit “Push It.” Widely regarded as the one of the greatest of all time, Jay-Z didn’t make the top 10. Neither did Nas.

Let the debate begin. But in the meantime...listen to Chuck

Run DMC nominated for Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame

Congrats to Rev Run, Darryl Mac, and Jam Master Jay (RIP). They are true pioneers of hip-hop. Good to see them get their well deserved shine.

The 1980s rap act, along with Metallica and Bobby Womack are among the nine nominees for next year’s hall of fame class, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation announced Monday. The other nominees are guitarist Jeff Beck, singer Wanda Jackson, Little Anthony and the Imperials, War, The Stooges, and disco and R&B group Chic.

Artists become eligible for the Hall of Fame 25 years after the release of their first single or album. The five leading vote-getters will be announced in January and inducted April 4, 2009, in Cleveland.

Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five opened the door for rap at the Rock Hall as the first hip-hop act to be inducted in 2007. Run DMC looks to be the second.

Looks like they weren't lying when they claimed to be the "King of Rock"
