I grew up on Run DMC. It's sad this happened to Jay. I distinctly remember the skating rink days and skating to "You Be Illin." That and Christmas in Hollis.. Can't go wrong with these lyrics..

It's Christmas time in Hollis Queens
Mom's cookin chicken and collard greens.
Rice, and stuffin, macaroni and cheese.
And Santa puts gifts under Christmas trees.

Those who have dissed these guys and Jay don't know much about them. When NWA and Snoop came around, RUN DMC still pushed the positive message.

Drunken dorm room filled to the bricks with kids reciting

"round the back, through the hoop, then you scream TOUCHDOWN ! - you be illin..."

RunDMC and the band that sang "white lines" were about the only "rap" entities accepted by white, college kids in the mid to late 80's.

Fond rememberences, sad about what has happened.
