This needs to be signed into national law. Now. I agree with the judge's rationale for the sentence. Not only is it incredibly rude to crank up your music so loud that people can hear it three houses away, but the fact that it's almost always rap (and not even good, old school Run DMC-style rap, with only one example coming to mind of another genre - extra-hillbillified country) makes it extra annoying....
I recently came across some music on LA's KCRW by Nicholas Giacomini who goes by the name " MC Yogi ." He's got an eclectic backstory: Inspired by artists like the Beastie Boys and Run DMC, he began writing and performing his own raps for friends at house parties. He spent most of his high school years at a group home for at-risk youth, and Hip hop culture provided both a soundtrack and a creative...
No disrespect to Tip, but if I can get movies, a number one album, a new clothing line and all the luv in the world from my fans then I think I'd have no problem doing a bid.

The 25-and-older crowd knows Reverend Run from the legendary rap group Run-DMC.

by Ariston Anderson An iconic hat is celebrating its 70th birthday. Founder Jakob Spreiregen started importing Basque Berets to England in 1918 marketing them as post-war fashion starting the Kangol brand. His company took off in 1938, when Kangol became the main beret supplier to British troops during World War II. Rumor has it, the name is in the makeup—the K stands for knitting,...

Run-DMC, "Peter Piper" ( YSI link ) Run-DMC, "You Be Illin'" ( YSI link ) Run-DMC, "Lord of Lyrics (demo)" ( YSI link ) I'm feeling a little emotional today after some nice Rosh Hashanah moments. It's fitting today that I finally return to one of, if not the, most important LP of my life, Run-DMC's Raising Hell . It was the first tape I bought, my first foray out of the world of 45s and into the new...
More than a few months ago, I wrote a bout the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and its lack of women inductees. It's pretty well established that female artists have been, for the most part, shut out of the hall of fame, despite women's increasing influence in the music business.
