The legendary Darryl "DMC" McDaniels of Run-DMC was in Atlanta last week and had few interesting points to make about the current state of Hip-Hop and how rappers have to take responsibility for their actions. Not being preachy or coming off as an old head, DMC told Frank Ski and Wanda Smith from Atlanta's V-103's Frank & Wanda Morning Show that his mission still is and has always been about empowering the youth through Hip-Hop. He stated:
“Now I'm trying to school the entertainment business. We have to realize we were put in these positions for a reason…I was given the foundation of Hip Hop. I was given the foundation of Hip Hop and what Run DMC did. People said, man, Run DMC wasn't just a rap group to us, it wasn't just about music…We changed relationships, we changed perception, we changed business, we changed fashion. So for me I have a responsibility, so what happened was, I said if I do die tomorrow, people know my musical legacy. First to go Gold, first to go Platinum, first on the Rolling stones, all that stuff but nobody knows about the little boy, Darryl, that became DMC. What I want to communicate to the younger generation is there's not a generation gap with these “Hip-Hoppers” but there's an information gap. " TO READ THIS ARTICLE IN IT'S ENTIRETY:
