The [1]video for Run-DMC's 1985 hit, [2]"King of Rock," opens with the
duo approaching the "Museum of Rock and Roll." As the enter, a
[3]security guard blocks their way. "Hey, this is a rock and roll
museum. You guys don't belong in here." But the rap duo will have none
of it.
I'm the king of rock, there is none higher Sucker MC's should call
me sire To burn my kingdom, you must use fire I won't stop rockin'
till I retire
Now we rock the party and come correct Our cuts are on time and
rhymes connect Got the right to vote and will elect And other
rappers can't stand us, but give us respect
This weekend, the real [4]Rock and Roll Hall of Fame gave Run-DMC
their respect, and highest honor, [5]inducting the rap pioneers into
the Hall for their path-breaking and genre-blending career.
