Though rap videos were rare on MTV at the time, "Walk This Way," with its elaborate story line of a comical grudge match between rappers and rockers, was a constant fixture on the station for months The rise of the technique enabled thousands of people to express themselves musically even if they lacked the instruments or resources to put together a full band " Critics blamed the group and rap music for inciting fights between members of the Crips and Bloods gangs at California's Long Beach Arena " Mizell wasn't the first to manipulate records by scratching them in time under a needle The group later went on major tours with the Beastie Boys, Def Jam label mates who would eventually break the sales records they had set for hip-hop, and Public Enemy, the group that would create another musical revolution with its lyrics promoting black empowerment Many fans and artists cite the song as the first rap record they ever heard, and rap and rock groups alike continue trying to recapture the song's mix of raw hooks and big beats punctuated by half-shouted lyrics The new group Joseph Simmons had formed with McDaniels and Mizell soon joined the roster " The 37-year-old, whose real name was Jason Mizell, was shot to death at a recording studio near the neighborhood Simmons and McDaniels started out rapping at parties, and later invited Mizell to form a group with them "Anyone could rap over all kinds of music The risk paid off with several rock-influenced hits, including "Rock Box" and "King of Rock G I "This is the first town where you feel the gangs from the minute you step into town to the time you leave," Mizell said , also were shot to death Simmons' brother, Russell, had formed a small label with producer Rick Rubin and signed early hip-hop stars including Kurtis Blow The group's self-titled debut album in 1984 was the first rap album to go gold The group has attempted several comebacks since "Raising Hell," and had just completed a tour with Aerosmith and Kid Rock, one of the many performers who has tried to cop their mix of rap and rock " The three members of the group grew up middle-class homes in the Hollis neighborhood of New York's Queens borough The trio condemned violence, and in 1986 called for a day of peace between warring Los Angeles street gangs The members of the group made an unforgettable impression with their black outfits and hats and white Adidas sneakers " But the sound finally exploded with audiences when the group remade the Aerosmith hit "Walk This Way," creating hip-hop's biggest crossover success of the time DJs like Jay became adept at scratching vinyl records forward and backward in time with a beat, working one turntable with each hand, to create new sounds the original artists never imagined "Raising Hell," the 1986 record that included "Walk This Way," "My Adidas," and "It's Tricky," sold more than 3 million copies, becoming the first rap album to go multiplatinum Violence continues to haunt hip-hop: some of the genre's biggest stars, including Tupac Shakur and Christopher Wallace, also known as the Notorious B Jam Master Jay Created New Sound Oct 31, 3:20 PM EST NEW YORK (AP) â€â€? Jam Master Jay's sonic experiments with spacious drum breaks and grinding guitar riffs helped make Run-DMC the first hip-hop group to break into mainstream music A song called "Jam Master Jay" announced, "We got the master of a disco scratch/there's not a break that he can't catch He joined 20 years ago with Joseph "Run" Simmons and Darryl "DMC" McDaniels to form the group that would be more responsible than any other for spreading the idea that one person â€â€? a disc jockey â€â€? could provide the entire musical backdrop for a song But he did become one of hip-hop's best known and most respected DJs through his deft scratching and the group's spirited promotion of his skills "They took it to the highest level it could go "They're the pioneers in hip hop," said Arlene Clark, 39, who grew up near the group's neighborhood Behind the turntables is where he stands/Then there is the movement of his hands/So when asked who's the best, y'all should say/Run-DMC and Jam Master Jay "We always knew rap was for everyone," Jay said in a 2001 interview with MTV Mizell is survived by his wife and three children He had once rapped, "Run-DMC first said a DJ could be a band While many early '80s hip-hop artists rapped over clean dance beats, Run-DMC and Rubin chopped up riffs from classic rock records for a grittier sound "These are our Beatles," Public Enemy frontman Chuck D told The New York Times on Wednesday " The group's cheerfully competitive wordplay had always promoted education and clean living, but members were nonetheless linked to gang violence when fighting broke out on several stops of their national tour in support of "Raising Hell " Jackson said the movie's characters would be changed, adapted and even melded together The remake of the 1933 movie, also called King Kong, is being directed by Lord of the Rings director Peter Jackson The English-born Watts met Wray just before she died last month, aged 96 "He has never felt a single bit of empathy for a living creature in his life "Those are big shoes to fill Watts will play Ann Darrow, the role made famous by legend Fay Wray, whose career was forever remembered for her screams in the grasp of a giant gorilla atop New York's Empire State Building "Our King Kong is very battered, he's very ancient, he's the last of his particular race "At the end of the day it's about gorillas, it's about dinosaurs and lost islands," he said She did a wonderful job," Watts said " Watts was optimistic the role would not leave her typecast, as Wray was He said it would be shot in 35mm film, not digital, and not in 3-D Jackson said he did not expect his actors to copy the characters of the original film, promising to update the original black-and-white production "Going back and seeing the movie several times and seeing what she did - it's quite beautiful Star screams Wray's praise September 03, 2004 AUSTRALIAN actor Naomi Watts said yesterday she has a tough act to follow when she plays the hero in a remake of the 1933 classic King Kong Watts appeared with co-stars Adrien Brody and Jack Black in New Zealand, ahead of filming which begins on Monday "I've done quite a lot of different work before this movie and hopefully people won't suddenly see me as only this role," she said |
