TRAINWRECKORDS: Run-D.M.C.'s 'Crown Royal'

Can Fred Durst, Kid Rock and the guy from Third Eye Blind save Run-DMC's career? It's tricky...

[sovietcanuckistanian]

I have to admit, saying "I'll only rap on the songs I like" and then appearing on no tracks is a harsher burn than any diss track.

"Featuring Sarah McLachlan"
What?
"Cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon..."
WHAT?!?

[MP-kwud]

Fred Durst standing in the middle of the street in a blue longsleeve yelling "THEM GIRLS" while flailing his arms is my favorite moment in history.

[onsonsweemy]

We're the kings of ROCK
There is none HIGHER
DMC's just standing there like a FIFTH TIRE

[phantomdriver]

I can't think of a funnier rap than "The girls might get naked but they won't get laid"
What a dad move lmao

Personally, I feel like this album would’ve done much better if Run had added more verses about how he was a legend who started hip hop and ruled the world in the mid-80’s

[ThisCommentWroteItself]

Underdiscussed Todd in the Shadows running gag: finding a way to mention the Black Eyed Peas regardless of the topic of the video

[corncake]

Moral of the story: Run was a legend who ruled the world and started hiphop in the 80’s

[slimbo]

I need to make an hour-long loop of "them girls" so I can take my friend-annoying game to the next level

[TheSpacekatz]

Was not prepared for the existential crisis I had of seeing what Fred Durst looks like now.

15:53 I swear, fewer things on this channel have been this awkward and hilarious as a clip of Fred Durst awkwardly dancing while “THEM GURLZ!” plays SIXTEEN TIMES in a row. That’s one of the most embarrassingly weird things that man has given us, and he’s the guy who directed the John Travolta flop The Fanatic!

Darryl credits Sarah Mclachlan for saving his life when he was suicidal, which I think colors my feelings about their collab. Of course his style is dated and he was well aware he wasn’t well suited for newer trends. But I am sure recording with her meant a lot to him, so I’m happy about that.

My god, DMC is killing me in that "Rock Show" music video. Arms folded, smiling politely, tapping his foot and completely tuning out Stephan Jenkins. Funniest shit ever. Why record anything when that just says it all?

[SivleFred]

DMC standing like a dad waiting for the plane at the airport is both gloriously funny and age-revealing.

[griffindor]

I know we had a LOT of WTF crossovers in this video, but "DMC ft. Sarah McLaughlin" might be one of the most insane things I've seen in an artist credit.

[ddi_spec]

todd may be in the shadows, but he let juuust enough extra light in so we could see how he’s dressed like an artist who started hip-hop and ruled the world in the 80s

[storingjazzinmycheeksforth]

i can imagine todd giggling to himself after writing the "its tricky to write a rhyme thats RIGHT on time" line

[SomeDumbKid]

Ad-Rock taking his name off the song after he found out Durst was going to be featured on it is based as hell.

[DiamondAxeStudiosMusic]

"Santana got a big hit with Rob Thomas, so Run DMC will be able to get a big hit with the guy from Third Eye Blind" sounds like something an AI came up with

[extremechampion]

No lie, when the mention of Limp Bizkit toys came up my mind immediately went to action figures instead of adult toys. That's how much of a boy-vibe Fred Durst carried back then.
