Not sure this is the best section for the pictures according to its caption.
I suppose it could go in legacy section. I was trying to have some illustration stating that this was the song that specifically made Run-DMC stars (as the member says), but I could move it down. No big deal.

Music video
Should this be a subsection?
I figured there was enough information about the video. When doing research I saw several articles talking about it being the earliest hip hop music videos played on MTV (further research says it wasn't, I can't pin point what was, but more accurately was it was the first to go into regular rotation). When doing research on the article, I found significant information about the video, so I figured it deserved its own little bit.
