I'm of the generation that discovered Aerosmith because of Run-DMC. They just looked crazy to me. They were the dudes in the Run-DMC video. That's who Aerosmith was.

Scandinavian rap started in the '90s, off the back of Run DMC, and it was a bunch of Swedish dudes doing the same thing.

Yung Lean

I'm used to being respected for what I do, and I've watched as my peers - Doug E. Fresh, MC Lyte - do the same thing and I remember the ones before me - LL, Run-DMC - how it was for them. I think we were able to achieve what we achieved because we watched the generation before us.

Big Daddy Kane

... I think the idea of crossing over is the ultimate expression of being ... Maybe it's time to play rock and roll on disco ... maybe it's time to play heavy metal on R & B, things like that. Certainly culminating on things like Aerosmith doing the rap thing with Run DMC, which if they hadn't done that, or if Eddie hadn't played with Michael Jackson, or if I hadn't done "Hot Stuff", people would have said "You can't do that"

Jeff Baxter

If you grew up in my generation, you're going to be influenced by Run DMC, the Beastie Boys and also listen to Metallica - it wasn't segregated anymore.

Vanilla Ice

I was definitely a big Run-DMC fan.

Rza

As far as rap goes, I grew up in Hollis, Queens, so early influences were people like Run DMC and LL Cool J.

Ja Rule

When Run-DMC came to the club, we saw how simple their show was - wasn't even a 10-minute show - and we, like, looked at each other and said, 'We can make records.'

DJ Yella

Steven Tyler isn't in Aerosmith anymore, but his gravestone will probably say something about Aerosmith.

Patrick Stump

To be honest, I've only been to one concert, and it was Aerosmith. Aerosmith and Slash.

Shawn Mendes

I love everything from The Rolling Stones to Run-DMC to Nina Simone.

Hannah Bronfman

When I was young, I wanted to be like the rappers. I remember being in junior high and wanting a fisherman hat and a link because EPMD had one. I wanted to wear Adidas because Run-DMC wore Adidas. As I came into my own, I just wanted to do me.

Cam'ron

I'm not really up on what's new. I'm still listening to Run DMC twenty-five years later. In the same way that the baby-boomers in America were forcing '60s music and Motown down our throats, now people of my generation are forcing Tears For Fears and old Hip Hop upon others.

Colson Whitehead

I grabbed another. Aerosmith. Nope, can’t throw classic Aerosmith. I snatched a copy of the Thompson Twins’ greatest hits and chucked it at him.

Rachel Vincent

I was into hip-hop, growing up early, so I loved Run DMC, LL Cool J, rappers.

Redfoo

I don't listen to much rap outside of Run DMC and the Beasties, but then I'm pretty burned out on most new music.

Jeff Hanneman

To me, it isn't tight sweaters. That's not what rap is. That's not hip-hop at all. Every phase went through changing up their dress styles and all that, but since Run DMC came out, it's been baggy jeans.

DMX
