Is it Hard Times by Kurtis Blow?
Or is it Hard Times by Run Dmc?
Both songs share the same moniker and theme. Both artists are from Queens and were managed by Russell. Run even ghostwrote and djed for Kurtis under the handle of Son Of Kurtis Blow at one point.
The difference here is one is a classic example of pre-The Message/Planet Rock disco-rap from 1980 and the other typifies the stark, tuff drum machine sound from 1984 that Run Dmc themselves ushered in a year earlier with their classic debut double-headed single.
But which is better?

that's the best early kurtis blow song after the breaks tho
run dmc wins this time, that instrumental is too good, but Kurtis looks cooler
Kurtis' jacket (don't know how the fuck to describe it, is that leather?) worn open necked, riddled with jewellery >>> raiders bombers
that's one of the best humans god ever designed
