Run DMC - Raising Hell
UDSACD 2169
Hochwertige MFSL 180GRAM VINYL DOPPEL-LP/RECORD - MFSL 45RPM SERIES
Limitierte und nummerierte Sonderveröffentlichung
nur 3000 Exemplare weltweit
Mit Run-DMCs Raising Hell riss die Band für den Hip Hop die Mauern des Mainstreams nieder und verankerte ihn dort für immer. Der Crossover-Hit Walk This Way, aufgenommen mit den Rockern von Aerosmith, klingt noch heute wie eine Revolution. Er hat alles: Hard-Rock-Riffs, Scratches, packende Rhythmen und natürlich die Raps und die Energie von Run, Jam Master Jay und DMC. Das dritte Album der New Yorker war das erste des Genres, das mit Platin ausgezeichnet wurde – und das drei Mal. Es waren die richtigen Erzählungen im richtigen Stil und Rhythmus zur richtigen Zeit.
Das Remastering für Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab übernahmen KRIEG WUNDERLICH und Shawn R. Britton. Gegenüber vorherigen Ausgaben offenbart es eine deutlich stürmischere Dynamik, die Rick Rubins knackige Produktion detailreich unterstreicht. Die MFSL 45RPM DOPPEL-LP/RECORD erscheint in einer auf 3.000 Exemplare limitierten Auflage mit fortlaufender Seriennummer.

Rezension:
Eigentlich unmöglich, nach dem bahnbrechenden "King Of Rock" noch eins draufzusetzen. Aber das Duo hatte einen kreativen Lauf, der in der Geschichte des Hip Hop ziemlich einzigartig war und sie für immer prägen sollte. Eine glückliche Fügung war sicher die Zusammenarbeit mit Produzent Rick Rubin, damals noch kein Star, sondern ein genialischer Freak, der mit Anfang 20 eines der fortan wichtigsten Plattenlabels des Planeten (Def Jam) mitgegründet hatte und Rap und Metal gleichermaßen liebte – womit er bei Run-D.M.C. an genau der richtigen Adresse war. Höhepunkt der LP ist der Aerosmith-Hit "Walk This Way" (bei der die damaligen Herrscher über den amerikanischen Rock höchstselbst mitwirkten): Das öffnete Hip Hop endgültig die Türen zum Rockpublikum und erleichterte jenem den Einstieg erheblich. Und wer erstmal drin war, den würde der sagenhafte Groove, der Flow und die Sounds, die Run-D.M.C. der bis dahin hauptsächlich auf den Rhythmus fokussierten Rap-Konkurrenz voraus hatten, sobald nicht mehr loslassen. Ikonisch!

Mastered from the Original Master Tapes and Limited to 3,000 Numbered Copies: 180g 45RPM 2LP Heightens Rick Rubin's Pioneering Production
Run-D.M.C.'s Raising Hell remains the turning point at which hip-hop crashed through mainstream barriers and never left. Anchored by the crossover smash "Walk This Way," the 1986 blockbuster still sounds like a revolution unfolding in real time. It has everything – hard-rock riffs, turntable scratching, itchy rhythms, hit singles – not the least of which are the trio's invigorating raps and inseparable chemistry. And now it's the first rap record afforded audiophile treatment, courtesy of Mobile Fidelity's simply illin' analog edition.

Run-D.M.C.'s Raising Hell remains the turning point at which hip-hop crashed through mainstream barriers and never left. Anchored by the crossover smash "Walk This Way," the 1986 blockbuster still sounds like a revolution unfolding in real time. It has everything – hard-rock riffs, turntable scratching, itchy rhythms, hit singles – not the least of which are the trio's invigorating raps and inseparable chemistry. And now it's the first rap record afforded audiophile treatment, courtesy of Mobile Fidelity's simply illin' analog edition.
Mastered from the original master tapes, pressed at RTI, and strictly limited to 3,000 copies and 2000 SACD, the unsurpassed reissue label's 180g 45RPM 2LP set elevates Raising Hell to sonic heights on par with its musical and cultural significance. Ranked the 123rd Greatest Album of All Time by Rolling Stone, 43rd on Pitchfork's Greatest Albums of the 1980s, one of the Top 100 Albums of All Time by TIME – and included on "Best of" lists by Spin, Paste, XXL, Entertainment Weekly, and basically every other significant media outlet – the triple-platinum effort rocks the house.
Afforded extra groove space, Raising Hell unleashes a torrent of massive dynamics and tsunami of frequency-plumbing details underlined by Rick Rubin's taut, crisp, albeit raw and streetwise production. Just as the Queens-based group both defined what hip-hop could represent – and displayed just how big it could get – Rubin's work melded ear-worm hooks, savvy drum loops, metal-leaning guitars, and, of course, Run and D.M.C.'s cross-fire lyrical interplay into watertight frameworks bursting with ideas, tones, samples, and beats. Heard anew on Mobile Fidelity vinyl, Raising Hell is in every regard the aural equivalent of a direct-to-console 1970s classic. And it sounds as fresh as hell.
As for the music, it ranks among the most influential, inventive, and invigorating ever released – rap or otherwise. Vanguard artists such as Ice-T, Eminem, Jay-Z, and Public Enemy's Chuck D – who declared it his all-time favorite and "the first record that made me realize this was an album-oriented genre" – have testified on behalf of its brilliance. And never mind the presence of the Top 5 single "Walk This Way," whose power helped make Aerosmith's Steven Tyler and Joe Perry relevant for the first time in nearly a decade – and literally put Run-D.M.C. in bedrooms ranging from the Bronx to Bartlett to Bad Axe.
Look instead to the rest of the entirely filler-free set, be it the corkscrew turns, slippery wordplay, and "My Sharona"-meets-"Mickey" mixology of the boisterous "It's Tricky," the fat-but-minimized bass grooves and warped turntable wobble of the hysterical "You Be Illin'," chimes-accented inertia and boombox-on-shoulder thunder of the now-iconic "Peter Piper," or voice-as-percussion attack of the funky "Is It Live." With Raising Hell, the answer to the question is always affirmative – a sensation bolstered by the fact the group always had something to say.
The definition of Golden Age Hip-Hop in every way, Run-D.M.C. avoids the negativity and misogyny that later plagued the style, spinning assertive tales about identity (the biographical and culture-changing "My Adidas"), work ethics ("Perfection"), and, most notably, pride (the Harriet Tubman- and Malcom X.-referencing "Proud to Be Black"). Pavement-packed inner cities, tree-lined suburbs, and cornfield-rimmed rural areas would never again be the same. And rocking a rhyme that's right on time would become trickier than ever.
