"They represented everything good and positive about hip-hop." - Russell Simmons

'Run-DMC came at a time when rap was not fully embraced by [even] the urban culture. ... People can't understand how important they were in pop music history," said Jim Tremayne, editor of DJ Times, a trade magazine for DJs. "They were absolutely as revolutionary as Elvis."

"Such a good person," Funkmaster Flex said of Jay.

"If you love this hip-hop thing like I love this hip-hop thing, it's a sad day," Big Daddy Kane's longtime DJ, Mr. Cee, urged as he fought back tears throughout Flex's show. "This has to stop, not just in hip-hop, but all over. This violence is just crazy. It's unreal."
