✅

Release

 * Not sure this is the best section for the pictures according to its caption.
 * I suppose it could go in legacy section. I was trying to have some illustration stating that this was the song that specifically made Run-DMC stars (as the member says), but I could move it down. No big deal. Andrzejbanas (talk) 19:27, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

Music video

 * Should this be a subsection?
 * I figured there was enough information about the video. When doing research I saw several articles talking about it being the earliest hip hop music videos played on MTV (further research says it wasn't, I can't pin point what was, but more accurately was it was the first to go into regular rotation). When doing research on the article, I found significant information about the video, so I figured it deserved its own little bit. Andrzejbanas (talk) 19:27, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
 * I was thinking it deserved its own section. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 23:20, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

 * That was it. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 23:19, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
