Crapsack World: "It's Not Funny", though its kind of tongue in cheek too. "You're Blind" about people who don't see how fake their lives are. |

Concept Video: The music video for the Title Track depicts Run and DMC being denied entry to a rock 'n' roll museum because they're Hip-Hop artists, to which the duo respond by barging in anyway. |

Shout-Out |
| | King of Rock (Music) / int_c75df49a |
comment |
Shout-Out: "King of Rock" has the line: "I'm Run from Run-DMC, like Kool from Kool & the Gang" and "There's three of us, but we're not The Beatles". It also has the line: "It's not Michael Jackson and this is not Thriller," which turned out to be prophetic, because Jackson sampled this song in his own number "2 Bad" (1997). You Talk Too Much "Darryl and Joe" informs us: "We're not like Dr. Seuss or Mother Goose" and "I got more hats than the Mad Hatter." "Roots, Rap, Reggae" is a Pun-Based Title on Bob Marley's song "Roots, Rock, Reggae" from his album Rastaman Vibration (1976). Can You Rock It Like This? |
