More boring than the other Run-DMC. 2.75/5
I called Raising Hell somewhat primitive, but it still feels like the best possible version of its sound. Their debut sounds even more ancient, yet oddly still relatively refined. They knew their sound and what they wanted to do, while others would turn hip hop into the force it became since. This is a lot of fun, but I can see how it may not appeal if you don’t like some rock n roll in your rap. B+
