King of Rock

Rockbox.

King of Rock is

better.

King of Rock, yes.

It's Tricky is better.

yes

But then again, my mom's also the one who went through and as we know, recorded over half of my fucking LL Cool J tape, trying to take out one cuss word.

So she probably wouldn't let me listen to a song about taking somebody's man.

And again, being outside in real time in 86, it was like, yo, what the fuck is this? We just did Peter Piper.

We just getting off the King of Rock and Dowling Joe and fucking you talk too much and fucking can you rock it like this? And you hit me with this shit.

And then I see the videos like, oh, this shit trash, man.

And I get it.

I would at least love for them niggas to come up with their own rhymes, man.

I'm like, y'all rapping with these motherfuckers.

At least with King of Rock.

At least with King of Rock, they rap, they rap.

Run calls, Joseph Simmons at the time.

Yo, T, Russell got us a record deal.

This and that, we're going to be put on the radio.

And that was the whole beginning of my transition.

The thing is, you guys were the first to do so much, man, you know.

Right.

Gold album, nominated for a Grammy, earned a platinum record, King of Rock.

Also, you know, first videos on MTV back in the day.

Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do tonight

Run-DMC was my favorite thing, and so probably the last record I bought was King of Rock, 1985, the Run-DMC album that came out before the Aerosmith thing.

Before Raising Hell, right.
