Old School Wednesday: RUN DMC – Christmas in Hollis

RUN DMC ~ “Christmas in Hollis” (L)

“Rhymes so loud and proud you hear it
It’s Christmas time and we got the spirit
Jack Frost chillin‘, the orchid’s out
And that’s what Christmas is all about
The time is now, the place is here
And the whole wide world is filled with cheer”

What’s not to love? One of the best hip hop holiday tracks from one of the Pioneers of Rap, RUN DMC. 

Happy Holidays y’all!

Samples:

Clarence Carter ~ “Back Door Santa“

I always thought the sample was Peter Gabriel‘s “Sledgehammer“

Isaac Watts ~ “Joy to the World“

Gene Autry ~ “Frosty the Snowman“
