Lecture 20: Released the year before (1988) Public Enemy’s “Fight the Power,” the song “Straight Outta Compton” by N.W.A. (a.k.a., Niggaz Wit Attitudes) triggered an avalanche of controversy that also helped put Rap on the map, but in a very different way. Unlike Public Enemy’s leftist critique of American society, N.W.A.’s “Straight” was more of an exercise in anti-police machismo, and some regard it as an early example of “gangsta rap,” a subgenre of rap music that offered an alternative to the more radical political Conscious Rap of the early 1980s exemplified by Public Enemy and Run-D.M.C. In 2016, N.W.A. was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, joining Public Enemy, which was inducted in 2012.

Duets in the "Metal"scene... once in a while there are those magic moments that happen between artists from different bands or backgrounds. Here are some of my favorite ones and i guess some of yours as well. Let me know in the comments if you know of any other great duets and perhaps ad videoclips as well as you reblog. It would be awesome to see this list grow.
Ps, if you vote please also reblog, the more people will do so the more this post will spread and the better the outcome and results will be. A big "thank you" in advance to anyone who will partake in this! Yours truly: @necro69mancer 🤘🍻

Run is one of the founding members of the groundbreaking and influential rap group Run-D.M.C. which was produced by his brother entrepreneur, Russell Simmons. Run is known in the rap community as being able to rock the mic with his tight rhyme game. Before forming Run-D.M.C. He was the lead vocalist for the hip-hop group named “ The Force". In 2004, Run was ordained as a Pentecostal minister and started going by the name Rev Run has had a successful rap career and gained more notoriety to a younger audience after his reality show Run’s House the show was like any other reality show simply featured his everyday life and his family. He and his wife had a cooking show that really seemed genuine. What I like about Run is, he has never comprised a man of God, as a father, and his rap game has never faltered I think we all are familiar with Run-D.M.C., and a majority of their toe-tapping songs and that’s the big impact they had on hip hop and popular music. Even with the loss of their DJ Jam Master Jay Run-D.M.C.pretty much stayed to their style of hip hop even with the different trends of hip hop.Run-D.M.C. is one of the greatest groups in rap music and I'm glad Run is a part of it.
