@thisishiphop73: Top 20 Songs of 1986: #2 Run DMC “Peter Piper” This is the lead track on their multi-platinum album Raising Hell. This was never released as a single but it should’ve been because it’s dope and pure hip hop! Rush and Rick Rubin sampled Bob James’ “Take Me to Mardi Gras” to create the beat and it was perfect! Run and D trade lines based on nursery rhymes all while paying homing to their DJ, JMJ. Of course J provides the cuts and scratches to add on to classic cut from hip hop’s biggest group. In a time when crossover records started becoming their staple, this record was what we needed. #RunDMC #PeterPiper #oldschoolhiphop #JamMasterJ
