Encyclopedia.com Run-DMC entry (Contemporary Musicians/Gale material, fetched in full): of the group's 1983 debut single 'It's Like That', 'It was the first new school hip hop recording.' Supports the 'new school' designation for the mid-1980s hip-hop generation led by Run-DMC; stored era '1980s' matches. Stored gloss 'the current generation' is a loose paraphrase of the period term rather than a definition the source states.
