Comment:

In the beginning there was Def Jam, launched (1984) by Russell Simmons and Rick Rubin out of New York, the epicenter of hardcore hip-hop. By staying true to their artists' no-holds-barred delivery and street-fighting authenticity, Def Jam brought hip-hop to the masses. "Don't Believe the Hype"? Nah — believe it.
