RUN and DMC got BEEF now. The fall out started happening around the time of the album CROWN ROYAL... once JMJ died, it was over. RUN started billing himself as "The Leader of Run DMC" and making all this money with his show and Phat Farm.
DMC gotta do something to make ends meet. DMC prob gave them the rights to use his character, RUN didn't. but I know they all own an = % of Publishing for the music.
