| | Rev Run Distortion CD Rev Run Discography of CDs
 (3 Customer Reviews)
After the 2002 murder of Jam Master Jay, New York City hip-hop pioneers Run-DMC respectfully called it a day. In 2005, Joe "Run" Simmons (now a reverend with a large family) took the name "Rev Run," and unveiled his first solo album, DISTORTION, on his brother Russell Simmons's RSMG label. This brief yet potent 10-track collection (which clocks in at under 23 minutes) is filled with Run's assured rapping, old-school beats, and deft sample-heavy production that nods to (or, in some cases, directly references) Run-DMC's trademark style, making it ideal for fans of vintage hip-hop. The record's release also coincides with the revered rapper's own reality-TV show, RUN'S HOUSE.
Personnel: Rev Run (rap vocals).
This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files.Uncut (p.107) - 3 stars out of 5 - "DISTORTION is a surprisingly fierce record which eschews super producers and guests for a steroid-injected take on his former act's heavy drum loops."
CMJ (No. 934, p.7) - "Lean and old school, this is the classic Run-DMC sound condensed...and shot out of a cannon...."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.60) - Ranked #4 in Mojo's "Top Ten Urban Albums Of 2005."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.98) - 4 stars out of 5 - "[T]his superb first solo album is both glorious throwback to more innocent times and a defiant statement of artistic vitality." Distortion Music Review Average Rating: (4 out of 5 stars)  Thats more like it
Yes, the oldschool pioneers does it again. While other "rappers" trying do do hit-list-music the real cats shows how its should be. This is like Run DMC back in the day with hardcore beats and nice riff.

In his introduction to DIPSET: MORE THAN MUSIC, Diplomat Records VP Duke Da God offers up his own unique reinterpretation of the famous Malcolm X line, declaring "we didn't land on (Plymouth) Rock, we moved the rock." It's as good a summation as any for the Diplomats' raucous, uncompromising style, on display in full effect on this supremely potent mixtape-style release. Every member of the Harlem crew shows up on DIPSET: MORE THAN MUSIC, from founder Cam'Ron to eccentric Jim Jones to newcomer Jha Jha, the group's first female rapper.
As usual with this crowd, the hooks are non-stop, from the gratifying loop of Otis Redding's "Hard To Handle" on "Dipset Symphony" to the distorted lushness of a child's choir singing Jefferson Starship on "If Only You Believe." The former, which features most of the Diplomats chiming in, reaffirms the band's ...
