Chris Rock penned the foreword for a new photo book of the Beastie Boys and Run DMC called, “Together Forever” by Glen E. Friedman.
“I was a DJ way before I told jokes. Run-DMC’s ‘Sucker M.C.’s’ taught me a lot about controlling the audience. I learned things about control and timing from playing the record at block parties that I use to this day,” the legendary comedian wrote.
He says he was first introduced to the Beastie Boys after listening to the Kush Groove soundtrack, which Chris Rock had a small role in.
