Run-DMC: New LP, World Tour:

By Nolan Strong
Date: 6/30/2002 11:10 AM


Run-DMC is preparing to release their follow up to 2001's Crown Royal. The untitled LP is being released next year to commemorate the influential group's twenty year anniversary. "Like Jam Master Jay said, we keep it raw and real. That's why we've lasted so long in this business, nobody really does what we do," DMC told the Fort Wayne, Indiana Journal Gazette.

In addition to the album, the group is planning a world tour. With twenty years under their belts, the group's track record includes a number of firsts. They were the first rap group to appear on American Bandstand, MTV and the cover of Rolling Stone. The group also became the first act to have their hands placed in cement on Hollywood's famed Rockwalk, along side such acts as Bob Dylan, BB King and numerous others.

DMC explained the groups longevity. "Everything is the same. It's the same producers making everybody's records, (and) all the videos look the same. Everybody's lazy and wants to make a quick buck," he says. "Now, if a De La Soul gets hot, you got 50 De La Souls out there."

In related news, DMC is finishing up his solo album, Checks Thugs And Rock And Roll, while Run will make a cameo appearance in the Brett Ratner directed "Silence Of The Lambs" prequel, "Red Dragon."

Thanx 4 that!! I actually read something similar last week and i got really excited. Alot of people expected the next Run DMC album 2 just be Run and Jam Master Jay cuz of creative differences between Run and DMC...and the fact that DMC's voice has changed a lil.'

I can't wait 2 see them come back...hopefully they'll have more success this time around, they deserve it!!
