I am! I love old skool hip hop and I love his new track mind on the road! I think his cd's gonna be hot!!

Damn sure not me...

nope..i think in his new song he is trying to hard to be "down" with the industry...plus rapping with his religious attire on is not fashionable nor appealing to me...

really? it worked in sister act..

sosgemini said:

But not so much in "Sister Act 2" even though sometimes I find that "If you want to be somebody..." song in my head and I have no idea what it is!

I saw the video and thought this be interesting...it wasn't.

And on a sort of related note, Kimora Lee gets on my damn nerves, dominating TV! Thank God that terrible show with the semi hot hostesses is off the air!

Run? No, I wish he'd go away.

DMC? BRING ON THE "CHECKS, THUGS AND ROCK & ROLL" ALBUM!!!!!

ABeautifulOne said:

Damn, you got not love for the rev? why? Is it because he is older? That's a bit unfair don't you think? I think he's cool as hell or heaven, hehe!

missfee said:

How come it's ok for Kanye West to preach in his videos but not Rev Run?

smokeverbs said:

Is he really working on an album? I'd love to hera some of his solo stuff!

He's been working on an album for a few years now. He's taking him time, I'm sure, because his voice is Wrecked. did you see him on any of the Jam Master Jay tributes? He wasn't talking like that because he was overcome with emotion, that's really his voice now. The Run-Dmc Behind The Music played a brief clip of one of D's new songs "cadillac cars" ... it sounded tight as hell - on a good day, D flows like Scarface now, really mellow and laid back, and it suits him well. This album was supposed to come out last year finally, but it never did. I'm still waiting and hoping for it's release.

I don't like Run cuz all he does now is recycle his old lyrics - and his new lyrics are all bragging about his past success. it gets old really quick.

smokeverbs said:

I would definitely get DMC's album if and when it comes out. He seems so cool and humble. As for the Rev, why does his bragging bother you? That's what all hip hoppers do. Talk about hot amazing they are.

dancerella said:

because Kanye is only preaching Kanye. if you listen closely enough.

Tessa said:

.....and what's wrong with what Rev says in his songs? I'm just trying to understand what people don't like about him because I think he rocks!

dancerella said:

i dunno ..sounds like weird kidrock-ish crap.but i like him on the new liberty x track "song for lovers".

Christopher said:

He has a song with Liberty X? Damn, they are still around? Meanwhile Hearsay lasted 3 seconds. Anyway, what is the song like? Don't you think Kid Rock is trying more to sound like Rev? He's been rapping that way forever and people like Fred Durst and Kid Rock bit off him.

I like his new song too I don't really have an opinion on his whole album though.

dancerella said:

No honey...It's just that his hey day in rap is over

ABeautifulOne said:

I disagree. I love his new single. I don't think it's fair to dislike someone's music because they're not hip, cool or younger.

dancerella said:

it's not that, the song is just freakin' wack is all. If Hammer came back out with an album rapping the same exact way he did when he recorded "Turn this mutha out" I wouln't like it neither. For one because it's hard to see him rap knowing that he is a respectable minister, and for two, times has changed and the music industry definitely has changed.

If you like the song, then good I hope you enjoy it...but that doesn't mean the rest of have to like it too....

dancerella said:

because Kanye isn't a serious minister in the religious industry..Rev. Run is REALLY a minister...

dancerella said:

Well it's my opinion to like it or not and I literally don't like the hottest new thing out at the moment unlike most people buying crap.It's just that Rev is wack to the tenth power and some..

I saw a bit of the video, my teenage daughter and her friends were watching it. I was all into it because hey, it was good to see Rev. Run doing his thing again but by the dumbfounded looks on their faces, I don't think it's gonna do well with the BET/MTV bunch.

What I do want to know is, does he bust a rap when he's preaching his sermons?

SexyBeautifulOne said:

That would be pretty funny if he did!

ABeautifulOne said:

Of course your entitled to you own opinion. I didn't mean to come off preachy ( no pun intended ). I just love the song and wish more pople did as well. I love old skool rap and even the slower way they rapped back then, so i'm just thrilled that he's making a come back.

Rev Run is on the intro to P.M. Dawns album "F*cked Music".. which is not availible anywhere...

He is calling Be and there is a very down sounding answer on the answering machine, and Rev Run leaves a very positive message..


nice intro

dancerella said:

i did to..but they seemed to have popped back up.its not a bad pop song..and he raps both of the verses on it. they kinda sing back up like its one of his songs.


and you might be right....remember when kidrock brought rundmc on the mtv awards to do -walk this way-? he was totally jockin them.

Oh he jocks them big time. He has already said a few times that Lynard Skynard or however the hell you spell it is one of his biggest influences along with run dmc.

dancerella said:

DMC does seem really cool. I like seeing him when he makes "I Love The 80s" type apperances.

Goddammit! I want this album!! I missed out on getting it by like 2 months!!!!
