wow, almost two decades later they have the men responsible for the killing of Jam Master Jay
https://consequenceofsound.net/2020/08/murder-charge-run-dmc-jam-master-jay/

His beats were epic.  My kid was jamin to 'It's Tricky' last night on some TikTok video and I was happy to hear kids today still jamin' to the RUN DMC

He was a legend

Wait so all this legend stuff, yeah yeah yeah. But a legend and genre pioneer was trafficking cocaine?!?
Did he have to? Am I naive in this? I mean the trailblazers in music are rarely the ones to fully capitalize on the fruits of their labor, but hell.

I can't imagine the member of RUN DMC were making any money off their Legacy
I'm sure they were likely screwed on the original contract

Now I'm not defending selling cocaine, still sucks that he got gunned down.  I don't know any of the details, but I think selling drugs isn't as bad as the GOP would make it to be.  it's supply and demand
not like he was mugging randos for their wallets

we all are not perfect people, why would JMJ be any different

I totally agree. I'm more saddened than anything. It's gotta be tough be a nostalgia act in the hip hop genre.
Not a lot of hazy daze, remember when, glory days kind of tours that I've heard of for the early hip-hoppers ala Styx/Journey double headers. There was no Run's House or crossover opportunities for a DJ whose skillset may have become passe.
Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do to make ends meet, or maintain a lifestyle. Shout outs, like exposure don't pay bills.

Maybe it's just me...but every time Julian posts, I kind of imagine it's this guy on the other end

If the vaccine, came out tomorrow, and they said it was the vaccine, as effective as the flu shot . . . would you immediately take it . . . or would you, wait to see what happens to those who do?

I haven't heard of a single Virginian on this board even install the CovidWise app, what makes you think they'll take the vaccine

I personly wouldn't take it immediately, I'm low risk and so is my immediate family
but if you are high risk the calculus is different
