The Daintiest Rapper Ever?

Click on Rev Run to play…

So Rev Run has a new video called “Mind on the Road” and as usual, he sounds kind of mad. That’s why it’s so funny that right smack dab in the middle of the video, Rev Run plucks some balloons out of the sky and hands them to a little girl with a most doting expression. Funny. 50 Cent never does that.

It’s one of the more effete moments in recent hip hop music video history, and honestly, my description hardly does it justice. That’s why I’ve provided a clip of the video. Watch as Rev Run goes from doting Mother Hen to angry tarmac rapper.

If you happen to catch the video in its entirety, viewers will be lucky enough to catch one Donald Trump yelling out, “Hey Rev! You’re the best!” (Sorry, forgot to get a clip of that). And if you’re still bored, try to check out the new Tommy Lee video for “Good Times.” It ranks as one of the worst lip-synched videos of all time. Literally. The guy cannot sing along to his own song. I would post it, but I’m pretty sure a low res quicktime file wouldn’t do it justice.

    Um, this guy’s not “new”. He’s Run from Run-DMC. He’s old-school.

    Oops. I was trying to be sarcastic, but I guess it didn’t play. I better rewrite before I lose all my hip hop cred.

    Run(as well as the rest of Run DMC) has more credit to rap than any “gangsta rap” artist from 1993 on upwards. The most he sung about was shoes & stuff, and never about mysogony, or “being tough” or glamour.

    I saw both music videos but haven’t noticed the Lip-synching. Can’t wait to see it again.
