2681062, In the matter of RUN v. DMC - Court of Appeals of The Lesson Posted by micMajestic, Wed Dec-31-69 07:00 PM
Who was the superior MC in their heyday and why? Run was the lead but that may have had a lot more to do with personality than anything.

2681072, they were equal and both shined Posted by Bblock, Tue Apr-03-12 10:49 AM
they were the epitome of a well balanced group dmc had his moments run had his too overall, they didn't outshine each other on songs

2681087, Can you think of any similarly balanced rap groups? Posted by micMajestic, Tue Apr-03-12 11:06 AM

There's not really any that I can think of. EPMD might be the closest thing, but at least with EPMD it's a lot easier to take sides.

2681100, DMC says years of heavy drinking and yelling on stage fucked Posted by mrhood75, Tue Apr-03-12 11:55 AM
his voice up. I believe he has an actual medical condition due to it.
|
2681105, oh yeah he'd drive around with a case of 40's in his trunk Posted by makaveli, Tue Apr-03-12 11:57 AM
or something like that. that's a shame.

2681080, It's funny Posted by ToeJam, Tue Apr-03-12 10:57 AM
They both had competing events here in Indy at the same date/time at different venues during the superbowl. Even if they fell out or don't collab anymore, that's stupid.

DMC had better lyrics but Run was the better overall MC/Artist
Both Dope...Legendary Group...best group ever to me

2681120, Who do you think had the better voice? Posted by micMajestic, Tue Apr-03-12 12:23 PM
>DMC had better lyrics but Run was the better overall >MC/Artist > >Both Dope...Legendary Group...best group ever to me
What is it exactly that makes you feel Run is a better overall MC/Artist? I'm not disputing what you are saying, I just want more insight.

2681104, Agreed that they're pretty much even Posted by mrhood75, Tue Apr-03-12 11:57 AM
I'll just say that DMC's verses on the track "Raising Hell" are, IMHO, the best either of them kicked, and some of my personal favorite verses ever.
|
2681129, I don't know why folks would even bother trying to pick between them Posted by Bombastic, Tue Apr-03-12 12:33 PM
they were a tag-team that repeatedly finished each others lines & coalesced almost completely while at their peak.
These kinds of 'who's better' arguments in regards to a group like Run-DMC didn't even exist when they were actually at the forefront of rap music.

2681133, This post was inspired by ABROCK's reply in Imcvspl's foil post Posted by micMajestic, Tue Apr-03-12 12:46 PM
He said that the homies around his way all knew that DMC was the better MC. I can't recall an instance where I'd heard someone comparing the two previous to that, but admittedly I'm not the biggest fan of Run DMC.

2681139, I voted for D Posted by ABROCK33, Tue Apr-03-12 01:11 PM
I said my peace in the other post

2681475, sorry bro...that's not true. doesn't mean they weren't dumb... Posted by MISTA MONOTONE, Tue Apr-03-12 10:49 PM
but they did exist. most of the people i knew thought that DMC was better. i probably gravitated towards Run a little bit more back then, but i could never say that one was "better" than the other and stick to it. >These kinds of 'who's better' arguments in regards to a group >like Run-DMC didn't even exist when they were actually at the >forefront of rap music. >

2681203, DMC was always more of a b-boy to me Posted by Mongo Slade, Tue Apr-03-12 03:03 PM
probably because of the Gazzelles...
and I always thought he was the harder of the two because he played the back relative to Run -
|
2681208, yep thats also why I liked him more Posted by ABROCK33, Tue Apr-03-12 03:09 PM
Run wasn't as b-boyish lyrically or image wise
everyone I knew gravitated to Darryl more

2681231, *cough* Cazals.... Posted by Pete Burns, Tue Apr-03-12 03:48 PM
"Gazzelles" are kicks.
