DMC, legendary Hip-Hop icon/Rock-N-Roll Hall of Fame inductee, discusses his upcoming solo album, The Origins Of Block Music to HipHopStan.com.

Even though New York screwed Curtis out of his show in Queens, they did grant Run, DMC and Jam Master Jay a street named in their honor. That’s always a win in my book.

Skills and the mighty Mos Def joined The Roots at the Highline Ballroom last night at their weekly jam session. You can check out Skillz & Black Thought’s Run-DMC cover up top, while a Mos Def performance and EPMD and Gang Starr covers are down bottom.

Eminem gives a heart felt speech as he helps induct the legendary RunDMC into the Rock-N-Roll Hall of Fame. After the jump you can check their acceptance speech. This was a great moment for hip hop, straight up! Big shouts to YourAudioFix.

I’ve also included another clip of Em speaking on his upcoming single, We Made You, in which he states there is some celebrity bashing in it. And that it’s not necessarily intentional bashing… actually it is. What the fuck is Em talking about?

As if being one of the most saught after director in this hip hop shit wasn’t enough. Rik Cordero teams up with Reason & OnPoynt to pay tribute to a few of the greatest hip hop pioneers and legends. 2Pac, Nas, Run DMC, Slick Rick, Audio Two, De La Soul and much more. Thanks Rik!
