2680874, Run was the "little engine that could"

he rhymed his "widdle" heart out.

his passion while something to be dmired was larger than his actual talent level tho. He blew his wad on Sucka MC's. He had other moments that were equal later (Runs House) but he never got better.

Runs verses were fun but when DMC's verse came I actually listened. It was the combo of the voice, the glasses, he just looked the part more and had the authorative voice.

I disagree. Again Run had Russel in his corner. they were all cool but Run and Russ were blood. Russ made sure Run was the star. Plus DMC admittedly was shy, and didnt crave the spotlight so the arrangment actually worked.

Come to think about it Im sure their respective personalities had something to do with their success and how they survived so long as a group. Run wanted the lead role DMC didnt. Their was no clash.

Counter that with Big Boi and Dre where Big Boi would never aqueise to Dre hence the tension in the group and why they arent makeing any music now.
