It's sad how folks can't get away from the madness they grew up in, even after achieving fame and fortune. Mo money, Mo problems.

Not a rap fan myself.........but what you say about Run DMC is what I've always heard about them; really good guys.

IMHO, they should be singularly credited with reviving the careers of Aerosmith (their rap version of "Walk This Way" is a classic).

Just about I was thinking. When will he be canonized as a saint by the media?

You did preface this with IMHO, however, it seems quite an overstatement.

"...however, it seems quite an overstatement."
Actually, I seem to remember Steven Tyler saying essentially this very thing in an interview a few years ago.
I was never very into rap of any sort, but I have heard nothing bad/criminal/vile about RunDMC

The Hut-Sut Song
Horace Heidt
Words and music by Leo V. Killion, Ted McMichael & Jack Owens

<verse>
In a town in Sweden by a stream so clear and cool
A boy would sit and fish and dream when he should have been in school.
Now, he couldn't read or write a word but happiness he found
In a little song he heard and here's how it would sound;

<chorus>
Hut-Sut Rawlson on the rillerah and a brawla, brawla sooit,
Hut-Sut Rawlson on the rillerah and a brawla sooit.
Hut-Sut Rawlson on the rillerah and a brawla, brawla sooit,
Hut-Sut Rawlson on the rillerah and a brawla sooit.

Now the Rawlson is a Swedish town, the rillerah is a stream.
The brawla is the boy and girl,
The Hut-Sut is their dream.

Hut-Sut Rawlson on the rillerah and a brawla, brawla sooit.
Hut-Sut Rawlson on the rillerah and a brawla sooit.

I lost all respect for the Beastie Boys when they started giving concerts to "Free Mumia". They are scum. Run DMC however (at least one of them) turned their lives over to Christ.

Geez....how unusual....another murdered hip/hop recording "artist".

In the wonderful world of hip/hop, murder has replaced the more conventional means of death for musical celebrities like overdoses, motorcycle wrecks, and plane crashes.

Glad I missed it. Rap and crack...two aspects of modern youth culture I was thankfully born too early for. Thank You G-d!

Âëàäèìèð Âûñîöêèé - Áðàòñêèå ìîãèëû



Vladimir Vysotskiy - Mass Graves


Íà áðàòñêèõ ìîãèëàõ íå ñòàâÿò êðåñòîâ, 
È âäîâû íà íèõ íå ðûäàþò, 
Ê íèì êòî-òî ïðèíîñèò áóêåòû öâåòîâ, 
È Âå÷íûé îãîíü çàæèãàþò. 

They don't put crosses on mass graves,
And widows don't sob over them,
Someone brings bouquets of flowers here,
And lights the Eternal flame.

Çäåñü ðàíüøå âñòàâàëà çåìëÿ íà äûáû, 
À íûí÷å - ãðàíèòíûå ïëèòû. 
Çäåñü íåò íè îäíîé ïåðñîíàëüíîé ñóäüáû - 
Âñå ñóäüáû â åäèíóþ ñëèòû. 

Here earth once stood in rows,
But now there are granite slabs.
Here there isn't a single personal fate -
All fates were poured into one. 

À â Âå÷íîì îãíå âèäåí âñïûõíóâøèé òàíê, 
Ãîðÿùèå ðóññêèå õàòû, 
Ãîðÿùèé Ñìîëåíñê è ãîðÿùèé ðåéõñòàã, 
Ãîðÿùåå ñåðäöå ñîëäàòà. 

But in the eternal flame an exploding tank is visible
Burning Russian huts,
Burning Smolensk and burning Reichstag,
A burning soldier's heart.

Ó áðàòñêèõ ìîãèë íåò çàïëàêàííûõ âäîâ - 
Ñþäà õîäÿò ëþäè ïîêðåï÷å. 
Íà áðàòñêèõ ìîãèëàõ íå ñòàâÿò êðåñòîâ, 
Íî ðàçâå îò ýòîãî ëåã÷å?

At the mass graves there are no crying widows -
Stronger people come here.
They don't put crosses on mass graves,
But really, is it any easier?

On the news they said it was in the Jamaican part of town, so that probably enough motive there. Wonder if he knew John Mohammad.
