Run DMC on Reading Rainbow

While we’re on the subject of hip hop and filling our blog with embedded YouTube videos, did you know Run DMC was once on Reading Rainbow?

But you don’t have to take my word for it.

My only complaint is that Jordi LeVar Burton didn’t rap along with them. It could have been something like this:

DMC:
Yo I like books
I like to read

Run:
Read a lot
If you want to succeed

LeVar:
Reading is smart
It makes you wiser
It’s hard to see
Without my VISOR

(Clearly I should quit my day job and become a rap lyricist.)
