I Don’t Know What You Been Told, Real Emcees Do Not Get Old



Super Bowl 46...can we say PARTAAAAAY!!! Indianapolis was all the way live last weekend for the Super Bowl. And of course, with the Super Bowl comes the celebrities. But not all of the celebs hit the scene just to be seen. One in particular, DMC (of the legendary rap group Run DMC) came to rock the stage at the Madame CJ Walker Theatre for a great cause.
DMC performed a benefit concert for House of Restoration Africa (HORA) a non-profit organization whose purpose is providing social, educational, recreational, and other critical support programs to underprivileged children and families in West Africa.

Ok, so I don’t really know what I was expecting from DMC, but I tell you what...that motha lova has still got it! He straight murdered the stage for an entire hour performing hits like “Mary, Mary”, “It’s Tricky” and “King of Rock”. I hear that he’s supposed to be returning to Naptown in a few months, so I won’t give the show away. But I will say that if you missed it, you won’t want to miss it again. When I say that he had the spot rockin, I mean he had that joint rockin! He took us all on a walk down memory lane and had us reminiscing about the golden days of hip hop. DMC also had plenty to say between songs and from the sound of it, he’s not too impressed with the younger rappers of today. According to the legend, cats should be less focused on the money and more focused on making music that will change the world. I’m witchu when you right, DMC!
After seeing DMC perform, it became undeniably clear how Run DMC was named the greatest Hip Hop group of all time. I gotta say that I was totally impressed watching an emcee over 40 rock the mic like it was 1983 but I guess it’s true what he says, real emcees DO NOT get old.

RIP Jam Master Jay
