"I said it’s tricky, man. This transition... it’s tricky to get it right without losing the groove."
Jam Master Jay drops the needle on a fresh slab of vinyl, scratching in a sharp, chirping sound. "It’s tricky," he mutters, focused on the mixer. Run stops dead. "What did you say?"
The year is 1986. The air in Hollis, Queens, is thick with the smell of asphalt and the sound of boomboxes. Inside a dimly lit basement studio, the atmosphere is electric, but the mood is tense. Joseph "Run" Simmons , Darryl "D.M.C." McDaniels , and Jason "Jam Master Jay" Mizell are huddled around a Roland TR-808 drum machine.
D.M.C. jumps in without missing a beat, his booming baritone providing the anchor: "To rock (a rhyme), that's right (on time), 'It's Tricky' is the title, here we go!"
Run looks at D.M.C. A grin spreads across his face. He grabs the mic, the cord trailing behind him like a tail.
