<p>After bringing their high-energy and innovative style and sound to the masses with RAISING HELL, RUN-DMC returned with a fabulous follow-up to that ground-breaking album. TOUGHER THAN LEATHER packs plenty of punch and also sports some classic tracks such as "Run's House" and "Beats to the Rhyme." In a move that had proved successful in the past, RUN-DMC chose a remake with "Mary, Mary." One of RUN-DMC's most popular songs to ever hit the streets, "Mary, Mary" provided the commercial pop sound that catapulted the boys from Queens to the top of the charts once again. Other exceptional tracks include "Radio Station," which lashes out at radio programmers, "I'm Not Goin' Out Like That," and the intriguing "Papa Crazy." TOUGHER THAN LEATHER is easily as good as any other RUN-DMC album.

- Memories
The recent passing of Jam Master Jay made me revisit their catalog, and while TTL was not their most well known album, It was always my favorite and I think it will stand up over time. It is very dense (similar to the Beastie's Paul's Boutique) and sounds great through a set of headphones.
If you are a fan of pure head bob'n rap from the 80's you'll appreciate this gem.

- Hardcore Rock & Roll from the Kings of Rock!
This album is INCREDIBLE!
Though vaguely dissed by some hip-hop heads who felt the crew waited too long to drop the product, this album still holds up as one of the hardest rap albums of all time..
Hip hop beats and blazing guitars crash and burn like nowhere else!
Best Cuts: Mary Mary, Beats to the Rhyme, Miss Elaine, and the title track, which should be getting airplay on Classic Rock stations!
ALL of Run DMC's albums were re-released in 1999- So pick this up, party people!

- It's not the best RUN-DMC album but it's def a collectors item.
To me, "Beats to The Rhymes" is my favorite song on the album. That's not to say there's not any more dope tracks on this album. If your a RUN-DMC fan, you must have this album in your collection. - tougher than leather
The item arrived ahead of schedule. I was pleased with the quality of packaging and the condition of the item itself. - these reviewers are stupid
this album (although not as good as their prior albums) rocks. runs house is a classic and beats to the rhyme is better than ANY hip hop song coming out today. |
