Rev. Run Signs To UK Indie Record Label

by THEPREMIER

SUNDAY JANUARY 13, 2008

Joseph "Reverend Run" Simmons, who has played a key role in creating hip hop supergroup Run - D.M.C., has annouced his signing to United Kingdom independent record label Craze Productions.

Kid Rock, a rap/country artist who is also closely asscociated with Rev. Run, will be assisting in tours and publicity campaigns as a way to kick off the promotion for Simmons' album, which is set to be released sometime this quarter.

"This is a landmark deal for Crazed Productions, which will put our company at the forefront of multi-faceted marketing and promotion in hip-hop,"  said Sam Kleinman, CEO of Crazed Productions, also predicting that the deal will "lead other major artists to sign direct with digital record companies thus bypassing the major recording companies."

Crazed Productions have had a notable online music history, having only been mainly a Web and mobile downloads/ringtone company.

dumbass i know who run is. if he got a reality show than hes obviously someone important but that doenst make him relevant and that doesnt mean his album would be good. flava flav is a damn legend but he dont need to drop an album so shut up nigga everybody knows who run is and i wouldnt be sayin what im sayin if i havent herd him rap. that tired ass theme song on his show aint doin shit "run my son is the 1 for fun"? what the fuck?

sorry he said number 1 for fun which is still just as corny. im not discreditin him as a legend but its some shit u gotta leave in the past. u think snoop dogg would still be relevant if he didnt keep changin up. he would have classics and he would be a legend but he wouldnt still be droppin hits like he is. corny ass rhymes like number 1 for fun can get you shot. ok no they cant but u get the picture. unless he plans on switchin up this sint anything i look forward to because flava flav tried to drop a solo album around halloween 2 years ago and that shit slipped by quicker than lil waynes leak mixtape that dropped on christmas.

dude you think run can't change up his style and flo? you are so ignorant and stuck on all this new shitty rap if soulja boy can sell millions then run can pop out a classic and everyone will buy it... you know why? because its run and he already has his name solid in the industry.

a name dont mean shit. whos gone buy his shit? i guarantee you run aint gone see no record sales. krs one got a name but is he goin triple platinum? i dont think so and he can still rap. when you droppin corny lines like "run my son number one for fun you sound worse than soulja boy and soulja boy aint even rappin. u real confused if u think he gon sell off of his name and u also admitted that he wont sell off of talent.

if run was gonna change up his flow i think he would have done it by now instead of usin that tired ass theme song. he's a legend he had his day but even nas knew when it was time to let someone else eat. not cus he couldnt sell but cus like he said he been eatin for years. run been eatin for years he got a family and a kid tryna get into the rap game so why doesnt he promote him? unless he changes his flow up which i doubt he'll do he wont sell many records. he'll be lucky if he goes platinum but he's already made an impact on the rap game and i dont think he'll do it again.

Give him a chance who know what he got to say. He's somewhat of a political rapper. If any Bone Thugs fan reading this yall remember him on the Flesh n Bone I thought he did pretty good. It's not what you would listen everyday but I like it.

hold up. its some ignorant niggas in this forum who once again cant see the point im tryna get across or they just too hard headed to listen. get off runs dick and everybody else u think is a legend cus they still human. even pac knew that shit but ya'll think these niggas is gods. yeah run is a legend and he made a real impact on hip hop. run dmc were the first rap act to go platinum and multi platinum but that was then. jordan dont play like he use 2. ya'll gotta accept that and quit ridin niggas dicks. he need to stop while niggas still have good memories of him cus dont nobody want their last memories of run being a tired album that flopped.

i'll give him a chance but u saw how wu tang flopped when they couldnt get it together and ya'll though they would be the shit. take example from ppl like jay nas outkast snoop or ice cube who constantly reinvent themselves to stay relevant otherwise they wouldnt last long. ya'll really need to think sometimes. just cus he a legend dont mean shit. some of the best rappers fuck themselves up bad thi8nkin shits the same from when they was in the game.

run wouldnt be where he is with that big ass house and a reality show if it life wasnt about money. run was one of the first hip hop artist to actually start makin major money and the first to see a platinum or multiplatinum artist and if it wasnt about record sales then why do ya'll always complain when your favorite artist doesnt go platinum? think about it.
