Run-D.M.C. lassen auf »King Of Rock« keinen Zweifel an ihren Absichten. Das knallharte zweite Album des Trios beginnt mit einer Absichtserklärung (»Rock the House«), die als stereophone Einstimmung auf den Titelsong dient: eine Mischung aus Warnung und Hymne, die vor berechtigten Anpreisungen, Heavy-Metal-Riffs, dröhnenden Beats, Cowbell-Akzenten und tanzbaren Grooves nur so strotzt. Die beiden Songs geben den Ton an für ein Album aus dem Jahr 1985, das die Blaupause für den Hip-Hop der nächsten zwei Jahrzehnte darstellt - und dazu beiträgt, Rap zu einer Mainstream-Währung zu machen. »It's not Michael Jackson/ And this is not Thriller«, verkündet die Gruppe gleich zu Beginn des Albums. Wahrere Worte - und Musik, die mit einer solchen Ehrlichkeit, einem solchen Stolz, einer solchen Rohheit und Integrität aufgenommen wurde - sind selten auf Tonband gebannt worden.
Product Information
Before Run DMC's collaboration with Aerosmith "Walk This Way" (1986) smashed the hit charts and proved to the mainstream that Rock and Hip Hop are mere sides of the same coin, the seminal Hip Hop group already introduced both styles to each other on their second album King Of Rock (1985). This groundbreaking record was the first Hip Hop album to go platinum. As its title implies, the dynamic trio claim their supremacy by combining heavy 808 beats and massive guitar riff samples, proving they were the baddest group on the block, period. Their sound influenced late eighties Hip Hop on the whole, most notoriously by their label mates the Beastie Boys. King Of Rock's influence is phenomenal. Not only did it introduce Rock fans to a new music, its fresh sounds also made all Hip Hop that came before it sound dated. This 1985 record is a trailblazing album to the umpteenth degree!
