Typically grouchy Rev. Run, a silent Darryl Mac and the always articulate Jam-Master Jay try their best to tolerate the moronic questions and blatant abuse of the term “keep it real” from the bubble-head hosts of The Big Breakfast.

To begin the Hilltop Hustlers story, you need to go back to Steady B. After his uncle Lawrence “LG” Goodman lost his New York talent thanks to most of the Juice Crew signing with Cold Chillin’, he set out to form his own local all-star team to keep his Pop Art label buzzing, and MC [...]
