"It's Like That" is a song by American hip hop group Run–D.M.C. It was first released in 1983 on a cassette backed with the track "Sucker M.C.'s". The release marked the start of Run-D.M.C.'s career and is widely regarded as ushering in a new school of hip hop artists with a street image and an abrasive, minimalist sound that marked them out from their predecessors. Both tracks were collected on the trio's eponymous debut album in 1984. "It's like That" is about life in the area where the group lives (unemployment, prices, death, etc.). Despite protesting those social and political problems, the song takes on a hopeful message encouraging listeners to abandon prejudice and to believe in themselves. In 2001, parts of the song was sampled in Jagged Edge's "Let's Get Married (Remix)" featuring Run-D.M.C.. The single was an international success. The song was remixed by house DJ Jason Nevins in 1997. His remix, originally a bootleg, was picked up for official release in 1997, and became a sleeper hit in 1998. It sold around five million copies worldwide, placing it amongst the biggest selling singles of all time, although Nevins was only paid some $5,000 for his remix. In 2008, it was ranked number 40 on ''VH1's 100 Greatest Hip-Hop Songs''.〔(VH1′s 100 Greatest Hip-Hop Songs - Stereogum ). Retrieved June 25, 2012.〕 ==Background== In the re-release of the album in 2003, a booklet was included, and a reviewer, Angus Batey, wrote the background information about the album. When he wrote about "It's like That", he quoted: The song was mixed by Kurtis Blow and Elai Tubo. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「It's Like That (Run–D.M.C. song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
