Title: Run-DMC Makes History Once Again
Post by: Crenshaw_blvd on February 20, 2002, 07:45:07 AM

After being the first hip-hop group to have a Gold and Platinum album, the first emcees on the cover of Rolling Stone, and the first rappers to get airplay on MTV, Run DMC will be the first hip-hop group to be inducted into Hollywood's Rock Walk. They will be inducted on February 25 with a ceremony held where they will cement their hands and feet on Sunset Blvd.

The Rock Walk was launched in 1985 and honors artists that have made an impact on music itself. The nominees are chosen by past honorees and not by nominations submitted by the public like the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

"The Rock Walk is not about popularity. It's about influence; how many musicians you influenced, not how many records you sold," said Dave Wiederman, director of the Hollywood Rock Walk. For more information, check out www.rockwalk.com.
