Run DMC and Jam Master Jay remain connected to the streets as you can see in this interview from their hometown of Queens. In conversation with a European TV network, the dynamic Hip Hop trio explain the core elements of the culture. Like ghetto commentators, the group visualizes the state of the hood at the time by recalling the typical sights and sounds of the environment. Most importantly, Run DMC represent maturity by showing respect to their elders, representing adult values and social awareness.
