Run-DMC`s first answer to a Christmas album was no. What came next is the rap holiday standard 🎄

In 1987, Rush publicist Bill Adler asked them onto A Very Special Christmas, the Special Olympics benefit with Whitney and Springsteen. They passed.

Then Adler pitched a song about their own block in Hollis, Queens. That flipped it 🔥

Run-DMC and Rick Rubin built it on Clarence Carter`s 1968 "Back Door Santa." In the video a dog pulls Santa`s sled and DMC`s mom makes a cameo. A year later it was playing in Die Hard 🎬

We made a Christmas in Hollis tribute hoodie for the heads who run it back every December. Link in bio.

A jewel straight off the CD booklet: the official title is Bulletproof Wallets featuring Raekwon. That`s why Rae isn`t credited on a single song. 💰

Ghostface released his third solo album on November 13, 2001. Twenty-five years ago this week, following Supreme Clientele.

🌴 Cut entirely at Criteria Studios in Miami
🎛️ RZA on "Maxine" and "Flowers," Mathematics on "Theodore," The Alchemist on "The Forest" and "The Juks"
🎶 Gamble & Huff soul all over the intro

Same date in 2004, the Wu lost Ol` Dirty Bastard. Rest easy, Dirt. 🕊️

Some anger isn`t performed. It`s recorded. Three verses where you can hear the rage through the speakers 🎤

🪑 Eminem, "The Way I Am" (2000). Self-produced, venting at fans and label pressure. In the video he throws a chair at his Slim Shady LP plaque. The "why would I say I am" line? Lifted from Eric B. & Rakim`s "As the Rhyme Goes On."

🧥 Andre 3000, "Return of the G" (1998). The fits had people saying he was "gay or on drugs." His answer: still a regular person.

💿 Danny Brown, XXX (2011). His label said it wasn`t good enough to be an album. It dropped free, closing on "30."

Ten months after his first verse on wax, Tupac had his own album. 2Pacalypse Now turned 35 this week 🎤

Released November 12, 1991. Before that, Pac was a roadie and backup dancer for Digital Underground, and their manager Atron Gregory signed him.

🔥 Shock G and Big D the Impossible produced it, credited as The Underground Railroad. Herbie Hancock, Isaac Hayes and Stevie Wonder show up in the writing credits.

📉 It debuted at No. 197. A sitting vice president said it had "no place in our society." It went Gold anyway.

Phife named the last Tribe album. Q-Tip admitted he didn`t know what the title meant. They kept it anyway. 🕊️

We Got It from Here... Thank You 4 Your Service landed November 11, 2016, eight months after Phife passed.

🎚️ Cut in secret at Tip`s AbLab in New Jersey, on Frank Zappa`s old tape recorder.

✈️ Phife was on dialysis three times a week and still flew in to record at night.

📈 Debuted No. 1. Tribe`s first chart-topper since 1996, the longest gap between No. 1s for any hip-hop act.

Big Pun would`ve just turned 55. Born Nov 10, 1971, in the South Bronx, and the first Latino solo rapper to go Platinum 💿

Capital Punishment (1998) peaked at No. 5, topped the R&B/Hip-Hop chart and pulled a Grammy nod. The Bronx made it official in 2021: Big Pun Plaza, Fordham Road and the Grand Concourse.

The jewel is buried at track 21. "Tres Leches" puts Pun, Prodigy and Inspectah Deck on a RZA beat built from Rakim`s "I Ain`t No Joke," Wu-Tang and Mobb Deep`s 41st Side intro. One posse cut, a whole era of New York 🗽

Same Tuesday. Same mastering house. Two records that split New York in half. November 9, 1993 🗡️🎧

Staten Island dropped Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) on Loud/RCA. Dirt in every bar, kung-fu dialogue in the cracks, and the liners credit every beat, mix and arrangement to Prince Rakeem, RZA`s old Tommy Boy name 🐝

Queens answered with Midnight Marauders on Jive. Nine months of sessions with Bob Power on the boards, a robotic Tour Guide voice, and 71 hip-hop luminaries packed across the front and back cover 🔴⚫🟢

The receipt most heads miss: both sleeves read Mastered at The Hit Factory, NYC. Two engineers, one building, opposite sounds 💿

Protect Ya Neck into Electric Relaxation. Which side were you on? 👇

Some of the best pens in rap got filed under "club records" and "sidekick." Who`s the most underrated writer in the game? 🖊️

Lloyd Banks got called the G-Unit side character. His debut The Hunger for More still opened at No. 1 in 2004 with 434K first week.

📻 2 Chainz: the radio hits get the attention, the deep cuts carry the bars. Pretty Girls Like Trap Music debuted at No. 2 in 2017.

🔥 Lil Wayne was already sharp on Hot Boys` Guerrilla Warfare in 1999 over Mannie Fresh, years before the Carter run.

Vince Staples and Smino get praised for voice and flow. Run back Summertime `06 and blkswn for the writing.
