History The Slaves of Rock
Posted by Charles Mudede on Mon, Jun 8, 2009 at 12:41 PM
Say what?
"Rock and roll and hip-hop are brother and sister," Daniel "D.M.C." McDaniels tells Chuck D in the latest On The Real, Off The Record video. RUN D.M.C. was recently inducted into the Rock Hall of Fame, and D.M.C. relishes the idea of being revered in the same space as rock idols like Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen.
Say it ain't so, McDaniels. Have you forgotten that the rock establishment was your number one enemy? Have forgotten this video?
Have you forgotten these words in that video: "Hey, this is a rock and roll musuem. You guys [Run D.M.C.] do not belong in here." How times are a changing.

This may be stating the obvious, but if Run DMC's "number one enemy" was rock and roll, how does this video exist?
