Amazon.co.uk Review
Are Run-DMC the most important group of the past 25 years? Well, if you believe that hip-hop is the most significant musical development in a quarter century, what other conclusion can you draw? Though they may not have been responsible for the birth of rap, the trio from Hollis in Queens represents the genre's coming of age. They were the ones who brought what was largely a regional street phenomenon to the masses. The rhymes, the beats, the style, the attitude--Run-DMC introduced it all to the world. p Focusing mostly on the group's first three albums--each of them a cornerstone of rap music--this 18-track collection is a reminder of a time when rap enjoyed a kind of childlike innocence: their boasts are forceful but not angry; the beats are simple but exciting; the overall effect (fuelled by heavy-metal riffs) is edgy and aggressive, but not violent or destructive. But most of all, it's Ifun/I. In the 1990s, rap artists would take Run-DMC's ideas to wide extremes, but the roots of this next generation--gangsta rap's street realism, political rap's social agendas, rock-rap's antagonism--are found right here. Run-DMC--like almost all pioneers from Elvis to Louis Armstrong--suffered a period of irrelevancy when they were looked upon as quaint or outdated, but their time will come. Rest assured, this is not 80s retro kitsch. --IMarc Greilsamer/I

The Amazon review asks the question - are Run-DMC the most important band in the last 25 years?br The answer to this couldnt be yes - we can not simply forget Guns 'n' Roses, Nirvana, (and for the Brits) Oasis etc. However they remain one of the most listened to records in my collection, which contains some great (in my opinion)bands. br This album lives up to their title and contains most of there greatest hits - both the obvious ones, My Adidas, It's Tricky, It's like that, as well as 'Beats to Rhyme' and 'Mary Mary.' And then theres Walk this Way w/Aerosmith which is one of the all time greats, and one of the 1st songs to successfully mix rock and rap. A notable absence is Rock Box which is another great hit from Run, DMC, and the late Jam Master Jay. This album is a bargain for £10, a cd of truly great hits.
RUN DMC at their best April 19, 2003

This album represents a collaboration of the efforts made by RUN DMC over their years of domination of the hip-hop world. This album provides entertaining listening as it is one of those albums that you can just press play, and listen to every song without wanting to skip to the next one. There are so many quality songs on the album and with the added bonus of all the classics 'walk this way', 'tricky', 'peter piper' and 'mary mary'. This album is a must purchase for any old skool hip-hop fan, and anyone who is a fan of anything RUN DMC. The album is literally what the title says, "run dmc: GREATEST HITS!"

Run DMC and Ex - Jam Master Jay....Run ? This Comes Shortly after the Excecution of Jam Master Jay which Is Hence DMC Greatest Hits ! Is this the End Of The Hip Hop Rockers who Managed to Haul Hip Hop from the Streets of Brooklyn to Mainstream with their Back then Controversial Collaberation with A White Rock Group ? But Boy Did they Pull it off ! Collaberations with Jason Nevins Brought us The Break Dancin " It's Like That ", These are the Two Anthems that Have given Run DMC such Worldwide success. This Is Run DMC ! If you have all their First 3 Albums Then Leave this Here, but If u Don't then this'll Give you A Taste of Run DMC at it's Best "
THIS CD RULES! April 21, 2003
