Rev. Run – “Distortion”
I’m glad some of the classic Run D.M.C. sound is still in the Rev. Run’s rap style, but some of this album is just stupid. The sixth track, “Home Sweet Home,” is backed by the Lynyrd Skynyrd classic, “Sweet Home Alabama,” which just sounds ridiculous.
Run still has the creativity that everyone has grown to expect from his rhymes, and that’s what keeps this album from being a flop.

Run still has the creativity that everyone has grown to expect from his rhymes, and that’s what keeps this album from being a flop. The album, however, is way too short for the $10 or more you’ll have to pay for the 10 tracks, which last less than 23 minutes total. About half of the album is really good, and the other half is just really bad.
The production is amazing, though. Its sound is clean and blends well. It’s just too bad that some of the tracks on the album bring down the ones that are actually good. If they were left off, the disc would have been a whole lot better. But then the CD would have been only 10 minutes long.
