i was in total disgust when i first heard this
i didn't grow up listening to run dmc, but i started listening to hip hop in 1995 and i realize without them, hip hop may not even be around
it's sad how the world can just take a legend like that...
although this is a trance board, we shouldn't ignore this because it's sad anytime a life is taken!!
this just shows that something unfortunate can happen to anyone at anytime

RIP
Jam Master Jay

It really is a sad day, he was a great dj, he was a huge influence on the hip hop scene. He will be missed, and remembered.

This is truly sad, One thing to remember is that many of us here who were kids used to listen to there music cause it was new back then, Something we never heard before, While growing up, We were listening to music thats never been heard before that was revolutionary at the time, Now today's world, All that music you hear only talks about the negatives instead of the positive, Run DMC's music was always on the possitive side, Everything right now is all negative with all this gansta rap and stuff, Even eminem, Sll the current hiphop music always talks about violents and such.

RIP JAM MASTER JAY.

"Thank You For Representing Us In The Right Way."

When i got home today my dad told me about it and i couldnt remember the name of Jam Master Jay, for a sec i thought it was DJ assault i was all worried cuz that guy is amazing. Regardless Run DMC gave me some good times in my youth and a DJ is a DJ be it any style it is extremely saddening and Disheartening. I really dont like rap but for the old school guys who were there for the spirit of it its just sad to hear news such as this

Yeah, I agree...sad to see this type of news. Sad to see anyone that has died like that but somebody that is integral to anything in music (or anything else) is often worse.

i was shocked when i heard this...its weird...y him u kno?...Run DMC were pioneers, and to have one of them gone is not right...i heard they wanted to do some kind of Run DMC anniversary LP...now who know...i love these guys...true hip hop...what really pissed me off is that them medical guys just dragged his body down them stairs

quote:

Originally posted by DJ Dingel so the DJ from Run DMC is dead. People at college here keep coming up to me cuz they know I'm a DJ... and act like I'm supposed to care that a rap DJ is dead. Are there TAs affected by this?

Jam Master Jay was a pioneer dj. Even though he was a hip-hop dj.. it doesn't matter. Jam Master and Flash were the two pioneer dj's. They invented scratching and turned the turntable into an instrument. The fact that he djed hip-hop shouldnt matter to you even though i'm not a huge fan of hip-hop i still care because we have lost a very talented man.

He will only be missed by some of the true hip hop fans out there.

Today, the majority of the people who listen to rap or hip hop would say "Who is Jam Master Jay?"

We don't see such things in the trance scene: Notorious BIG, Tupac and now JMJ.

I must be a drug related thing, although I don't see JMJ running around in some gang.

Run DMC make hip hop mainstream, his death is a great loss

wurd...heard this from opti the night it happened. i was so fucking pissed off...*sigh* blessings him and his family.
