In a bittersweet moment for Run-DMC, the rap pioneers are featured in a new Dr. Pepper spot that marks their last televised performance, following the October murder of Jam Master Jay.
The 30-second ad features LL Cool J and will debut Sunday during both the NFL conference championship games and the Golden Globe Awards. The spots will end with a brief tribute to the DJ.
“Jay and I put together some specific scratches and … [the commercial] came out really good,” said Joseph “Run” Simmons. “It’s like a record.”
Added Darryl “DMC” McDaniels: “It looks good, it feels good, and as long as people smile when they see it, it’s going to serve its purpose.”
