La Lutta NMC pays its respect to Jam Master Jay Chuck D called Run DMC the Beatles of hip-hop. So, now Run DMC has even more in common with their English brethren. They have tragically and horrifically lost a member of their group in an inexplicable shooting. Jam Master Jay, shot in the head at a recording studio in Jamaica Queens, was the pioneering DJ of a pioneering group. Jay's beats and skills on the ones and twos were always creative, strictly innovative and above all else, definitive. La Lutta NMC pays its respect to the man and the artist who will live on with his beats that laid the foundation for the clever and original rhymes of mc's Run and DMC. An inspiration to both Kevin and myself, Jam Master Jay's senseless death will not overshadow his ground-breaking work. We refuse to allow that to happen. Jam Master Jay was our generation's DJ, a hero in a leather fedora and armed with stax of wax. Run DMC's work will now live on as a tribute, a moving testimonial underscored by the hands on the wheels of steel that helped move a generation. We shed many tears in solidarity with Jam Master Jay's family and millions of fans. Peace, love and respect from the La Lutta NMC crew. -Antonino D'Ambrosio, La Lutta NMCJam Master Jay Words and Music by Run DMC Kick off shoes, jump on the jock Listen to the Jam Master as he starts to rock His name is Jay and he's on his way To be the best DJ in the US of A J-A-Y are the letters of his name Cutting and scratching are the aspects of his game So check out the master as he cuts these jams And look at us with the mics in our hands Then take a count, 1-2-3 Jam Master Jay, Run-D.M.C He's Jam Master Jay, the big beat blaster He gets better cause he know he has to In '84 he'll be a little faster And only practice makes a real Jam Master We're live as can be, not singing the blues We got to tell you all the good news The good news is there is a crew Not 5, not 4, not 3, just 2 Two MC's who are claim the fame And all other things won't be the same Because it's about time for a brand new group Run-D.M.C to put you up on the scoop We make the fly girls scream in ecstasy We rock the freshest rhymes at a party We put all the fellas in a daze It's everyone that we amaze And we got the master of a disco scratch There's not a break that he can't catch Jam Master Jay that is his name And all wild DJ's he will tame Behind the turntables is where he stands Then there is the movement of his hands So when asked who's the best, y'all should say: Run-D.M.C and Jam Master Jay Jam Master Jay is the one in charge It's up to him to rock beats that are truly large He is the master of the scratch and cut So move your arms, so move your legs So won't you move your butt We're not talking ground, we're not talking sky We're not talking low, we're not talking high We're not talking big, we're not talking small We want all of the people on off the wall We're not talking night, we're not talking day But we're talking 'bout Jam Master Jay (c) Copyright 2002 La Lutta NMC |
