<p>As one third of Run-DMC, Rev Run helped change the sound of rap by simultaneously being more street and rock &amp; roll than his contemporaries. From the boom-box classic single &#8220;Sucker MCs&#8221; (1983) to their standard-setting discs <EM>Run-DMC, King of Rock, Raising Hell</EM> and <EM>Tougher Than Leather</EM>, Run-DMC defined a new level of cool for the world. Dressed in their trademark black hats and <A id="f2852" class="f2852" href="/affiliate/C2852">outfits </A>to match, Run-DMC stayed at the top of the pop charts for most of the &#8217;80s and knocked open the doors to commercial freedom for the rap generation. A multi-media star &#8212; he stars in his own television show, Run&#8217;s House &#8212; Rev Run continues to create music, having just released his CD Distortion on the Russell Simmons Music Group (RSMG).</p>

<p>Pharrell Williams earned his third BMI Producer of the Year title for logging the most producer credits on charting songs. The BMI Top Urban Producers list also included <A id="f413" class="f413" href="/affiliate/C413">Rodney Jerkins</A>, <A id="f3443" class="f3443" href="/affiliate/C3443">Polow Da Don</A>, <A id="f990" class="f990" href="/affiliate/C990">Jazze Pha</A>, <A id="f798" class="f798" href="/affiliate/C798">Kanye West</A>, will.i.am, <A id="f1072" class="f1072" href="/affiliate/C1072">Lil Jon</A>, Sean Garrett and T-Pain.</p>

<p>EMI Music Publishing was named BMI Urban Publisher of the Year by scoring the highest percentage of copyright ownership in award songs. The publishing giant&#8217;s hits included chart toppers &#8220;Irreplaceable,&#8221; &#8220;D&#233;j&#224; Vu,&#8221; &#8220;Money Maker,&#8221; &#8220;Snap Yo Fingers&#8221; and more.</p>

<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m N Luv (Wit A Stripper),&#8221; co-written and performed by BMI Top Urban Producer T-Pain and Mike Jones and published by Warner-Tamerlane Publishing Corp. and Zomba Songs, received the BMI Urban Ringtone Award for tallying the most downloads during the award period.</p>

<p>In addition to the BMI performance awards, <EM>Billboard</EM> recognized the BMI-affiliated writers whose songs reached No. 1 on the R&amp;B/Hip-Hop Songs, Hot Rap Tracks, Hot R&amp;B/Hip-Hop Airplay and Hot 100 charts during the past year.</p>

She takes the top songwriter prize for the third time this year by placing three of her own hits on the most-performed list - "Don't Forget About Us," "Shake It Off" and "We Belong Together" - all from last year's comeback release, <i>The Emancipation of Mimi</i>. Carey, who also wrote 1992's Pop Song of the Year, "Love Takes Time," has a total of 23 BMI Awards and 15 "Million-Air" songs that have had one million or more broadcast performances. <p> Sharing the Urban Songwriter of the Year spotlight were producers Bigg D and Jim Jonsin, who also had three songs on the most-played list with the co-writes "Let's Go" by <a href= "/musicworld/onthescene/200107/trickdaddy.asp">Trick Daddy</a> (featuring <a href= "/musicworld/onthescene/200412/lil_jon.asp">Lil Jon</a> & Twista), and Pretty Ricky's "Grind With Me" and "Your Body."

His other Song of the Year awards include Toni Braxton's "Breathe Again" (1995) and Boyz II Men's "I'll Make Love to You" (1996). This year's top song win ties him with <a href= "/musicworld/features/200107/beegees.asp">the Bee Gees</a> as writer of the most Pop Songs of the Year. <p> With his exceptional ability to spot and develop new talent, L.A.
