DMC clarifies Jay-Z ‘diss’: ‘I had to personally apologize’

After it was reported that Run-D.M.C.’s Darryl “DMC” McDaniels dismissed artists like Jay Z and Lil Wayne as “not hot,” and stated that their fans are “brainwashed,” the self-proclaimed “King of Rock” decided to step forward and clarify his comments. According to AllHipHop’s Illseed, DMC has addressed the comments, offering to better explain what he was trying to convey.

Run-D.M.C.’s first performance in over ten years was at last year’s “Made In America” Festival, which was curated by hip-hop superstar Jay Z.
