One of the great early rap albums. Sparse arrangements over drum machine beats. Occasional bursts of guitar and Jam Master Jay's scratches serve to anticipate their eventual 'rap rock' hit "Walk this Way". The sounds act as a simple but effective backdrop for Run and DMC's rhymes.
They engage in some fun wordplay while delivering a healthy dose of social commentary. The way they collaborate, play off each other and finish each other's sentences adds a bit of variety that you wouldn't necessarily get from a solo artist.
