RIP: Run-DMC DJ Jam Master Jay
October 31, 2002
Run-DMC DJ Jam Master Jay was shot last night in Queens (see “Jam Master Jay, Run-DMC DJ, Killed In Shooting”), so I worked into the wee hours. As we started digging up videos and stuff, getting materials together, I realized just how integral Run-DMC had been in introducing hip-hop to suburban chumps like me. Got home around 4 a.m., slept three hours, and came back into work. No run. Marathon in some 72 hours, and I need some SLEEP!
