"Sucker M.C.'s" (also known as "Krush-Groove 1" or "Sucker M.C.'s (Krush-Groove 1)" and sometimes spelled as "Sucker MCs", "Sucker MC's" or "Sucker M.C.s") is a song by American hip hop group Run–D.M.C. It was first released in 1983 on a cassette as B-side to "It's like That". The two-sided release marked the start of Run-D.M.C.'s career as their first single,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Run-DMC Selects Its 'Greatest' )〕 and it 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. WBAU was the first station to play the two songs.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Run DMC Sites )〕 ==Background== At first considered a meaningless "bonus beat" to "It's Like That", the song has become legendary and was included as the first song on their first compilation album, Together Forever: Greatest Hits 1983–1991.〔 The song is considered one of the seminal rap music songs,〔 making it one of two songs by the group included on the Profile Records anthology album. The song is included in most of Run–D.M.C.'s compilation albums, including ''Together Forever: Greatest Hits 1983–1991'', ''Greatest Hits'',〔 ''Ultimate Run–D.M.C.'', ''The Best of Run–DMC'', ''High Profile: The Original Rhymes'', and ''Super Hits''.

Sucker is a derogatory street term for someone who believes he has skills, but who does not deriving from the common slang term sucker relating to one who is gullible. For Peter Shapiro, Run-D.M.C.'s 1983 two-song release "It's like That"/"Sucker M.C.'s" "completely changed hip-hop" "rendering everything that preceded it distinctly old school with one fell swoop."〔Shapiro, p.327〕〔Shapiro, p. 401〕 In a 47 point timeline of hip hop and its antecedents spanning 64 years, Shapiro lists this release as his 43rd point.〔 Reviewing Toop's book in the LA Weekly, Oliver Wang of Soul Sides concurs, hailing Run-D.M.C. as inaugurating the new school of rap.〔Wang, Oliver. ("Between the Lines" ), ''LA Weekly'', March 8, 2000. Retrieved on July 2, 2008.〕 Marley Marl's first production was an "answer song" to "Sucker M.C.'s" in 1983 entitled "Sucker DJ's (I Will Survive)" by Dimples D. According to the 2010 book Christopher R. Weingarten book ''It takes a nation of millions to hold us back'', the song was an early inspiration to Rick Rubin. 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「Sucker M.C.'s」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
