By 1987, Run DMC's popularity was fading while Fat Boys were reaching new heights. We compare 1987 performances from Showtime at the Apollo and let the crowd by the judge.
RIP Buffy, Prince Markie D and Jam Master J

Yeaaah, so here's why this comparison is not a fact... it's actually the fat Boys who were close to their end in '87. These were literally their last hit songs, and they were performing these songs for the 'Showtime At The Apollo' crowd that was usually younger and more of a hip-hop audience. Run-DMC were performing Proud To Be Black from the multi-platinum Raising Hell album in front of an older Apollo crowd that wasn't into hip-hop at a show that was not 'Showtime'. Run-DMC actually went on in 1988 to have another platinum album, whereas the Fat Boys last hit album was in '87, and their next one was a flop. Both of these groups were considered old school by the time '90 hit, but the Fat Boys much more so.
