Who knew that Russell Simmons’ little brother Joe — aka Rev. Run of the groundbreaking hip-hop group Run DMC — was once prone to suicidal depression? “It was around ’89 or ’90. People don’t understand — depression is clinical,” the rapper-turned-minister tells the upcoming Blender mag. “I went as far as getting poison and pouring it into a Coca-Cola can but never drinking it. I’d look out a hotel room window and say, ‘I’m not jumping out of there.’ Everything I considered, I’d think, ‘That’s gonna hurt.’ And I deeply wanted to kill myself. But they were fake attempts. Then around ’91 I started going to church, and [my ministry] is what it developed into.”
