This groundbreaking record was the first Hip Hop album to go platinum. Their sound influenced late eighties Hip Hop on the whole, most notoriously by their label mates the Beastie Boys.
King Of Rock's influence is phenomenal. Not only did it introduce Rock fans to a new music, its fresh sounds also made all Hip Hop that came before it sound dated.
