Run DMC Tour TV Spot

   You don't see a lot of commercials on TV anymore for concert tours so when these TV Spots pop up from time to time on YouTube I love checking them out. Here's one for the Run DMC tour that featured Whodini, LL Cool J and the Timex Social Club (a rather odd choice I might add). 

Now they are not in the ad but I'm pretty sure The Beastie Boys were also part of this bill aka "The Raising Hell tour".

Sonic More Music-1980's Hip-Hop

   I've put together a list of Hip-Hop tracks from the 1980's that I just really always liked; they run from the Old-School "Grandmaster Flash" up to the experimental vibe of "The Beastie Boys".

Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five- 1982's "The Message"

Afrika Bambaataa & Soul Sonic Force - Planet Rock 

RUN-DMC – 1984's "Rock Box"

LL Cool J-1985's "I can't live without my Radio"

Public Enemy – 1988's "Don't Believe The Hype"

Beastie Boys - 1989's "Hey Ladies"

Taken from their second album 'Paul's Boutique' which is considered in many circles (mine included) to be a masterpiece and their best work.
