Feb 14, 2026 Yep. Run DMC was the first that actually went international, first multi platinum rap record ever and first to chart on billboard.
Feb 14, 2026 Yeah, but I still think he blew up in non English speaking countries after that. Em and 50 really pushed Hip Hop a lot. Rap fans around the world obviously knew about Snoop, Pac and them tho.
Feb 14, 2026 Ironically jam master Jay of run DMC started 50’s rap career by giving him a label and a studio to record when he was just a midget. Eminem inducted Run DMC into the motherfreaking rock and roll hall of fame over a decade later. And the conspiracy is he got killed by supreme over the 50 & murder inc beef. Small world
Feb 14, 2026 Too many rappers consider themselves as legends like now even Tony Yayo considers himself as one lmao
Feb 14, 2026 Yh lol he said it in his latest Vlad interview Something along the lines of... "yh I know I'm a legend but...."
Feb 14, 2026 They are as a group and 50 but as individuals bar fif, nowhere near. Imo the term legend is passed around too easily. Pac Big Jay 50 Em Dre Luda Nas Wayne Snoop Kanye Drake Kendrick Dmx Guys like that are legends in my book Guys like Banks Yayo Buck Cam Jimmy TI Jeezy Game Not really legends but it's subjective so in my eyes they're not but in yours, they might be.
Feb 14, 2026 J Cole have another project ready to drop, don’t know when but maybe Eminem can be on it. I’m sure they have in the vault something both of them, don’t forget JID feature waited years before their release
Feb 14, 2026 Wait a minute, did this midget just call me a Midget? Let me reverse it, Quick! Sit with Dre and mitigate this “Gen Z calling classics Mid again.” Is this the thanks I get for using artificial intelligence? One more Diamond, then I quit!
