For two decades, RUN DMC were one of the best recognized acts from the 1980s New York hip hop scene, sporting a then street look with leather jackets and Adidas sports wear. The Hollis, NY based group were one of the first hip hop acts to have videos played on MTV, and eventually entered the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame in 2009.
