Profile Records hoped that Run-D.M.C.'s fourth album, Tougher Than Leather, would exceed the Beastie Boys' quintuple-platinum status, but unfortunately, the group's popularity had decreased by 1988. One of Run-D.M.C.'s strong points -- its love of rock \u0026amp; roll -- was also its undoing in hip-hop circles. Any type of crossover success tends to be viewed suspiciously in the hood, and hardcore hip-hoppers weren't overly receptive to \"Miss Elaine,\" \"Papa Crazy,\" \"Mary, Mary,\" and other rap-rock delights found on the album. Thanks largely to rock fans, this album did go platinum for sales exceeding one million copies -- which ironically, Profile considered a disappointment. But the fact is that while Tougher Than Leather isn't quite as strong as Run-D.M.C.'s first three albums, it was one of 1988's best rap releases. ~ Alex Henderson\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Legacy \/ Sony Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44997252907297,"sku":"196587899011","price":119.0,"currency_code":"PEN","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/products\/196587899011.jpg?v=1682298301","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/en-pe\/products\/196587899011","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
