About Me
About Me
- Name: Tasha
- Location: DC Metro Area, United States
Ok, here's the business... I grew up shuttling between Updtate NY and NYC (Da Bronx Baby!!) and transplanted myself to the DC area in January 2006 to do this post-college adulthood thing (but shhhh, don't tell Sallie Mae I'm here). I spend my weekdays doing the 9-5 at the office plantation and the rest of my time tap dancing and getting into stuff I've probably got no business getting in. I think hard, play hard, and love hard. I'm kinda shy, kinda outspoken, kinda crazy. I don't have a problem saying what's on my mind. Sometimes I get deep, sometimes I get mad, but most of the time I'm saying "What the f**k!?" to something or another. I'm enjoying my life journey so far--missteps and all. Certified Oddball, Phenomenal Female and this is my take on life as I live it. Email me: labellanoire@gmail.com

That recording, and subsequent video is probably the singularly most important piece of music produced in this country since the arrival of The Beatles in the United States in 1964.
Don't laugh.
This song (and perhaps "The King of Rock" also by Run-DMC) marked the birth of the "fusion" of rock and rap (or hip hop). Without this song and it's insane popularity, there would be no Limp Bizkit, Linkin Park, Living Colour, Lenny Kravitz, Beastie Boys, Eminem, Skindred, Cowboy Troy, Alien Ant Farm, Rage Against The Machine, or even System of A Down. Run-DMC along with Aerosmith were unacknowledged pioneers that I, for one, am glad came along when they did.
How's that for deep on a friday morning!?
GF
PS: I checked out your MySpace page... how long did it take you to write all that stuff???
Thanks GF, I was pretty sure that this song was important for that reason, but I didn't know just how important it was.
About the MySpace...hmm, I write a lot so things like that come quickly. Thanks for the visit!
Thanks for sharing the video. We all Stopped what we were doing and watched it!
All the Best
