Thoughts on Run the Jewels?

Thoughts on Run the Jewels?

They're a rap duo with 3 albums

That's my thoughts on them

dude on the right could be a serial killer, and not in a cool hip thug type of way. the beanie doesn't fool me

im not too big of a fan

Really good. They make fun, energetic songs with solid raps. RTJ is nothing groundbreaking, but not everything has to be.

Pretty solid. Mike in particular is technically impressive and they've got a sound that is very much their own. Have kinda been retreading old ground with their latest album.

hamface p and his cutlery falling down the stairs beats were always terrible and now killer mike is just immortal technique 2.0

Beats are great, lyrics are pretty cringey tho

REEEEEEE THEY DONT LIKE TRUMP REEEEEEE

They were better as solo artists

First album was great, don't get how they blew up after that, but they're good

>hamface p and his cutlery falling down the stairs beats

I liked RTJ1, loved RTJ2 but thought 3 was above average at best

One good album an two alright ones.

I like their songs but sometimes they take their lyrical content a step too far, politically, and it puts me off a bit.

>Fashion slave, you protestin' to get in a fuckin' look book
>Everything I scribble's like an anarchist's cookbook
>(Look good, posin' in the centerfold of Crook Book)
>Black on black on black with the ski mask, that is my crook look
damn, I like this song
>How you like my stylin' bruh? ain't nobody smilin' bruh
>Bout to turn this mothafucka up like Riker's Island, bruh
nice rhyme scheme I guess
>Where my thuggers and my crippers and my blooders and my brothers?
>When you niggas gon' unite and kill the police, mothafuckas?
uh...what?
>Or take over a jail, give them COs hell
>The burnin' of the sulfur, goddamn I love the smell
ok...I don't know if--
>Now get to pillow torchin', where the fuck the warden?
>And when you find him, we don't kill him, we just waterboard him
I don't agree with --
>We killin' them for freedom cause they tortured us for boredom
>And even if some good ones die, fuck it, the Lord'll sort 'em
Jesus Christ

El-P is a really bad rapper.
At this point I just want another Killer Mike album.

stop listening to rap white boy, you can't relate

I'll be seeing them at Sloss Furnace soon. I'm hyped.

Was it autism?

RTJ1 was great, RTJ2 was peak, RTJ3 it became clear the group is holding El-P back.

More like Run by Jews.

why did you post this?

I don't know. Bad judgement.

understandable

This. I'd rather listen to a new El-P project than a new RTJ.

pretty much this. RTJ is good but none of the albums even come close to FanDam

mane fuck rtj trashest shit

I get what you were trying to convey

They're pretty good, but their politics are getting in the way of their rhymes.

Cut back on the libtard shit and they'd be 10/10.

Really didn't like 3 when it first came out. I still think it's their worst work, but it's listenable now that I've given it some time.
