A few minutes ago, I got to meet an authentic legend. Darryl McDaniels, 1/3 of rap pioneers Run DMC, was at the White House today for the President’s Father’s Day event, and I caught up to him afterwards, while he was giving another interview, which will air on MSNBC tomorrow night.
I spoke with his manager briefly, and he told me about Darryl’s involvement with Adoptees For Children, a group that he co-founded to help send kids growing up without parents to summer camp.
The little bit of the interview I caught was riveting, so I recommend you look it up and try to catch it.
As for me, I will begin practicing my freestyling skills in case we meet again.
