00:01When I think about being on stage and performing,
00:04first thing that comes to my mind is intensity.
00:08When run was being run, Darryl was being Darryl,
00:12and Jay was being Jay, it was heaven. It was Nirvana.
00:16When we get on stage, we do what we gotta do.
00:19Rock the house.
00:2120 people!
00:23Your dreams have now been fulfilled!
00:27How is we...
00:293...
00:303...
00:312...
00:32Hold up. Let's back up.
00:35My reason for getting into rap was the streets.
00:39Everybody in the neighborhood started getting two turntables in the mix-in.
00:43At this point, me and Dee, we were dreaming about making our own stuff.
00:46Grab your rumble, we're going to the studio to make a record.
00:50That was the moment I knew hip-hop was gonna be huge.
00:54They brought more people to the genre.
00:57All this from two turntables and a microphone.
01:00Now that it's a hit, you gotta go performing in front of people.
01:03We exploded out of nowhere. It was so big, it overtook us.
01:07What defines greatness is how you react when things aren't going great.
01:12Dee, open the door.
01:14I wasn't dealing with the feelings and the emotions that I was going through.
01:18I was just ready to give up.
01:19And after that, all hell broke loose.
01:21Run DMC is officially retired.
01:23It made him go, this is who we are.
01:26We ain't from the Bronx. We ain't from Brooklyn.
01:29We from Queens.
01:32He made something that no one ever made before.
01:34They ain't the reason hip-hop is as big as it is right now.
01:38I did not know until the last second that I was about to go do something so big and so historic.
01:46They changed the sound of music, the audience for rap music.
01:51When you saw me running J, you didn't see celebrity.
01:55You saw yourself.
01:57You get in front of the world, and you let people know who you are.
02:16Well there at a time, I think I was gonna point to me.
02:19And, I know I'm with my friends.
02:20When you saw others' cuál this way, I wanted them.
02:21You're an지고gdあり and its apps.
02:22You get it.
02:23Your damnhow.
02:24You're an exposed deal of stuff.
02:25You're gonna go tell?
02:26And that's up.
02:27You're gonna talk about it?
02:28You're gonna go teu where your mind is.
02:29I know.
02:30You do not go so far.
02:31You're gonna turn on like, man.
02:33No way.
02:34You're gonna stay here, because you're so Cub Openerdale.
02:36In 2020, it's the same way.
02:37This morning type will lie.
02:38You know, I know.
02:39I needed to have more imperial instrument.
