Again, you go back to the roots of rock rap, and again, I'm trying to think when Run DMC came out with Raisin' Hell, but it was always there to begin with.
Michael StampsHOST
God, that is...
Michael StampsHOST
It's like Mos Def said, like, you know, heavy metal is...
Mark CicchiniHOST
It's not the one with all the hits.
Mark CicchiniHOST
I know Raising Hell did, and don't worry, I love Raising Hell as well.
Mark CicchiniHOST

Walk This Way and Raising Hell, the album in general was so massive that it kind of overshadows the other stuff there that came before it for sure.
Andrew RichHOST
But, um, but I also picked this song because I just wanted to say that I met DMC last year too.
