Question

[Tina]

Last night Bryan asked me who Russell Simmons is. :indiff:

I cannot abide this. Is there some kind of Hip Hop Cliff's Notes I can get him?

He thought the Ice Cube song, "Why We Thugs" said, 'Thank God for Richard Simmons'. I told him it was Russell Simmons and he's all Who? :nono:

[Phoebe]

He knows who Run DMC is, right?

Just tell him he is Run's brotha.

[Moke]

Bryan! Oh goodness.


Blasphemy.


The world of Hip Hop is shedding a tear.

[Tina]

Should I also tell you he asked if he was related to Gene Simmons?

Your poor little white boy.

Hell, even *I* know who he is.

[Terri]

I've never heard of him.

[Mrs Sarah]

I don't know who he is either. :hide:

[Mandy]

Me either. :bag:

[Tina]

He's the cofounder of Def Jam records. Kind of like the P Diddy of the 80s, before anyone else was doing much as far as bringing rap/hip hop to the masses.

[Niki]

He thought the Ice Cube song, "Why We Thugs" said, 'Thank God for Richard Simmons'.

j/k I've heard of Run DMC.

[Niki]

Russell is Rev Run's brother. He owns the Phat Farm/Baby Phat clothing line too and was a huge music producer back in the day.

Run DMC is a person? I thought it was a band, like Pink Floyd.

Run DMC is a "band". Run is one guy DMC is another. And there was Jam Master Jay.

Did any of you see Darryl's adoption show on VH1?

[Mary Ann]

I saw it.

[Vorpal_Bunny]

oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.

for redemption - you all know the hottie LL Cool J? Yes? :pray:

[Moke]

I did see that. That was really interesting, I never knew he was adopted.

LL. :swoon:

[Vorpal_Bunny]

After thinking about this, I guess the upside to not knowing Russell Simmons is being spared the "glory" of beholdiing Kimmora Lee Simmons.

Now, I HAVE heard of her.

[Moke]

Uhm, she is a classy chic. For serious. To quote Kimora Lee 'If you're shy, get the hell over it.'

That's love.


She used to be on some talk show. I swear all she ever said was 'OKAY LADIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEESS!!!!!!!!'

She is good friends with Tyra Banks.
