"Run-D.M.C." is the eponymous debut album of the influential hip hop group Run-D.M.C..

Produced in 1984, it was considered quite groundbreaking for its time, presenting a harder, more aggressive form of hip hop. The album's stark electronic beats and energetic rhymes were in sharp contrast with the light, funky sound that was popular in hip hop at the time.

The album was reissued as a "Deluxe Edition" in 2005 with four bonus tracks.

Reception

In 1998, the album was selected as one of "The Source Magazine's 100 Best Rap Albums", and is the earliest hip-hop album to have top reviews from several professional magazines.

In 1989, the album was ranked #51 on "Rolling Stone" magazine's list of the "100 greatest albums of the 1980s". RS500|240

Uncut (11/03, p.130) - 4 stars out of 5 - "Run-DMC made everything else in the Live Aid era sound lame and tame." [ [http://www.cduniverse.com/productinfo.asp?pid=6936976] ]
