Spank-A-Thon is on a distinguished road
I'm not a Rap or Hip Hop fan at all really. Through playing basketball I have grown up being 'forced' to listen to my team-mates play stuff like Naughty By Nature, Onyx, Funk Doobiest, Cypress Hill and so on...

However, I have the uptmost respect for one Hip-hop (or are they rap? Could someone clarify this for me?) group. I believe (and I could be wrong about this though) they are pioneers, and helped shape the Rap/Hip-hop scene.

Who are they?

They are no other than 'The Kings of Rock'.... Run DMC.

Not only do I believe they helped craft the Rap/Hip-hop movement, but without their groundbreaking Rap/Rock cover of Aerosmith's 'Walk This Way', we might not have the plethora of Rap-rock/metal acts today.

Without Run DMC, it wouldn't be 'Limp Bizkit', but more a case of 'Limp who?'...
