Crown Royal is a 2001 album by hip hop pioneers Run–D.M.C., It is their seventh and final album. It was released about 18 months before the murder of Jam-Master Jay. All songs but the title track featured guest artists including Fred Durst, Stephan Jenkins and Sugar Ray, Everlast, Kid Rock, Nas, Prodigy and Method Man.

It is the first and only Run–D.M.C. album with a Parental Advisory label, though most of the profanities are used by the guest artists, and some songs censor their profanities even on the explicit version.

Crown Royal was mildly successful despite poor critical reviews.[citation needed]

Rolling Stone (3/15/01, p. 78) said "Crown Royal uses the same musical strategy as their minor 1993 comeback, Down with the King: guest artists, guest artists and more guest artists....But as on Down With the King, Run-DMC prove their old-school mastery without adding anything new to it; the tracks sink or swim depending on what the guest artist felt like bringing to the studio that day.[5]

Entertainment Weekly (4/6/01, p. 120) note that "on this hip-hop roast, new schoolers Nas and Fat Joe pay their respects with sparkling grooves....Run's rhymes are still limber." - Rating: B-

NME (4/5/01, p. 43) - 6 out of 10 - "Proves the emperors' new clothes can look just as solid as their old threads." [6]
