Some people may be confused by the song "Rock the Bells" when they hear heavy bass beats and trademark Cut Creator scratching over funky drum breaks - where are the bells? This song is an irony of hip-hop history because it was produced right around the same time that Run-D.M.C. were working on a similar song called "Peter Piper." Historians among the readers will recall that Def Jam CEO Russell Simmons and Joseph 'Run' Simmons were brothers, and apparently Run-D.M.C. didn't take the similarity between the two songs kindly. To keep the peace, Def Jam convinced LL to record a new version of the song, the one whose extra chunky beats gave the phrase "Rock The Bells" a whole new meaning -- instead of being literally about 'bells' it instead became a description of a hip-hop attack akin to the 'bell' rung at the beginning of a boxing match. If you want to hear the original bad enough though, find the obscure album "Def Jam Classics Vol. 1" and make sure it has a 1980's copyright date.
