From Hollis, Queens, to the cover of Rolling Stone, he walks through how Run-DMC became the face of hip-hop. He recalls shooting Krush Groove with director Michael Schultz, who had made Car Wash, and admits the experience wasn&#8217;t what fans assume. DMC had a single line in the whole film while Run carried the scenes. Darryl McDaniels also clears up a long-running myth about Run-DMC&#8217;s cars, since Run never actually drove the white Eldorado from the movie. The glasses that made Darryl McDaniels a target as a kid in Catholic school became a signature once Run-DMC started rapping about them, to the point where fans started wearing glasses they didn&#8217;t even need. He explains the origin of the laceless Run-DMC Adidas look too. Add Fresh Fest as hip-hop&#8217;s first national arena tour and the Together Forever tour with the Beastie Boys, which the media bet would never work, and Darryl McDaniels lays out how Run-DMC kept proving the doubters wrong Darryl McDaniels also makes the case for hip-hop as the cousin of disco, pointing to 2001 Inductees Queen and their &#8220;Another One Bites the Dust&#8221; and 1989 Inductees The Rolling Stones&#8217; &#8220;Miss You&#8221; as rock acts who made disco records of their own. When Run-DMC&#8217;s self-titled 1984 album went gold and landed the group on MTV, it proved hip-hop could work as a full-length format. But Darryl McDaniels is clear that the real achievement for Run-DMC wasn&#8217;t being first to go platinum or first on the cover of Rolling Stone. It was becoming the chosen representatives of the culture, echoing Grandmaster Caz: hip-hop didn&#8217;t invent anything, it reinvented everything.<br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"228490\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/dmc-on-krush-groove-glasses-dmc-adidas-more\/darryl-mcdaniels-rundmc-020224-5d86780eca6b47399f8ebeb311a65f53\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Darryl-McDaniels-RunDMC-020224-5d86780eca6b47399f8ebeb311a65f53.avif\" data-orig-size=\"1500,1000\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-title=\"Darryl-McDaniels-RunDMC-020224-5d86780eca6b47399f8ebeb311a65f53\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Darryl-McDaniels-RunDMC-020224-5d86780eca6b47399f8ebeb311a65f53-1024x683.avif\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-228490\" src=\"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Darryl-McDaniels-RunDMC-020224-5d86780eca6b47399f8ebeb311a65f53-540x360.avif\" alt=\"\" width=\"540\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Darryl-McDaniels-RunDMC-020224-5d86780eca6b47399f8ebeb311a65f53-540x360.avif 540w, https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Darryl-McDaniels-RunDMC-020224-5d86780eca6b47399f8ebeb311a65f53-1024x683.avif 1024w, https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Darryl-McDaniels-RunDMC-020224-5d86780eca6b47399f8ebeb311a65f53-768x512.avif 768w, https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Darryl-McDaniels-RunDMC-020224-5d86780eca6b47399f8ebeb311a65f53.avif 1500w, https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Darryl-McDaniels-RunDMC-020224-5d86780eca6b47399f8ebeb311a65f53.avif 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\ufeff Darryl McDaniels of Run-DMC sits down at the Morrison Hotel Gallery to look through&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","cybocfi_hide_featured_image":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-228489","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-interviews"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t<!-- All in One SEO 4.9.9 - aioseo.com -->\n\t<meta name=\"description\" content=\"\ufeff Darryl McDaniels of Run-DMC sits down at the Morrison Hotel Gallery to look through photographs spanning Run-DMC&#039;s career and tell the stories behind them.
