The group is widely acknowledged as one of the most influential acts in the history of hip hop culture.

Run-D.M.C was the only hip hop act to perform at Live Aid in 1985. The group was among the first to highlight the importance of the MC and DJ relationship. In 2004, ''Rolling Stone'' ranked them number 48 in their list of the greatest musical artists of all time. and "Greatest Hip Hop Artist of All Time" by VH1. On April 4, 2009, rapper Eminem inducted them into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
