Run–D.M.C. is the debut studio album of American hip hop group Run–D.M.C..
 Produced in 1984, it was considered groundbreaking for its time, presenting a harder, more aggressive form of hip hop.

 With the album, the group has been regarded by music writers as pioneering the movement of new school hip hop of the mid-1980s.
 The album was reissued as a "Deluxe Edition" in 2005 with four bonus tracks.
Hip hop studies is a multidisciplinary field of study that encompasses sociology, anthropology, communication and rhetoric studies, religious studies, cultural studies, critical race theory, missiological studies, art history, dance, musicology, ethnomusicology, music theory, and gender studies.
 The term "hip hop studies" began circulating in the mid-2000s, and though it is not clear who first coined the term to label the field, the field of hip hop studies is oft cited as having been crystallized by the publication of "That's the Joint!
: The Hip Hop Studies Reader" in 2003.
 "That's the Joint!"
 includes approximately 25 years of scholarship, criticism, and journalism.
 The publication of this anthology was unprecedented, and highlights the evolving and continuous influence of "one of the most creative and contested elements of global popular culture since its advent in the late 1970s."
 The publication of the first edition of "That's the Joint!"
 marked a consolidating moment for the field of hip hop studies because it brought together key writings on hip hop from a diversity of hip hop authorities.
