Run The Jewels - El-P and Killer Mike

curious to hear what everyone who feels like this is a "samey" album will think about it when it's all cat sounds

it depends on how many breeds of cat are involved

you punks is pussies, proverbial persian panther posers

Seriously you are letting one annoying sock hijack a thread on an album most of us really like, it's annoying. Just ignore him.

But it's cute. He sits up and uses his little thumbs to type.

you all must have missed the great "follow-up album" "debate" in the D'Angelo thread

D'Angelo - The New Album (2013? Please?)

Omg that is some stupidity

to be fair it's hard to make salient points when you're typing upside down

RTJ2 is a follow up to RTJ.

Not every album/thing by the same artist is counted as a follow up.

My fellow jewel runners.

hey good piece whiney! that was sweet how they became besties and stopped doing drugs, had no idea re the level of their success btw

"El-P and Killer Mike individually are both fantastic and no surprise this album is. To me it's the true essence of Hip Hop, lyrical wizardry and some great beat production by El-P that occasionally sounds old School east coast style, El-P does more than deliver beats his flow and wordplay is equally good... Killer Mike delivers some great Southern accented (that'd be South US, obviously) rhymes whilst El-P has a New Yorker accent and they both seem to bounce off each other seamlessly and it makes for fresh introspective.

Recommended if you like pure Hip hop all about the rhymes and music, no women/money crap delivered. "

My Amazon review. 5/5.

I forgot to say how much I loved the zombie hands mixed in with the old skool hip hop gold chain in that ironic way, the clever thing is the other zombie hand isn't even holding a gun and doesn't even have an arm. Design is on some real ill tumblr shit.

Not every album/thing by the same artist is counted as a follow up.

"Today Artist X released her first new album since her last album, which is actually a follow-up to the album before that, as well as a sequel to her first album, which was a follow-up to all the albums she'd listened to before turning 20."

Is that from Pitchfork

nah they havent reviewed it yet

but i cant imagine it'll be that much more cogent when they do

RT linking britisher amazon outlet, showing again he is the cross-atlantic arbiter

rocky trolled this thread purdy good

It's just not good music, I advise you to get over your insecurity with your tastes.

If anyone is a psychology student and needs a paragon example of projection...

^^ ladies and gentlemen, the gangster yankee hotel foxtrot of reviews

It’s important to note that RTJ2 is an album—it’s on a real label and you can pay money to own it. And the transition from mixtape-to-album explains every progression El-P and Killer Mike have made in the past year.

The first album was on a real label and you can pay money to own it.

smh at 'fuckboy' in first line of that review

less critically revered innovators like the Geto Boys, Goodie Mob, and 8Ball & MJG

smh, lolling, smh

this is truly some next-level incoherent writing

2004 Animal Collective Back

pretty sure I never downloaded the free RTJ and just paid for it, smdh at this guy

also smdh at a music critic not getting the diff between critically revered and popularly acclaimed, because uhh... music critics love that trio

this is truly some next-level incoherent writing

great, my friend who i convinced to see this show with me is going to read this and think that we're going to be bombarded by fuckboys

People don't read the review. They see the bright red 9.0 BEST NEW MUSIC and then they click the Insound vinyl link. win-win

it wouldn't be that bad a review if he cut all the parts where he's channeling REALNESS

fwiw I'm probably setting the bar lower for him but I like Zach's verse.

Zack De La Rocha on "Close Your Eyes (And Count to Fuck)" before the real thing comes through to spit some goofy, try-hard "Bombtrack"-style aggro braggadocio that doubles as the best verse of his life.

wow, can't tell if this is trying to damn with faint praise or not.

xxxpost goofy-ass writing aside i agree with the general thrust of the review, it is a notable step up from the debut

otm hurting 2 re: the "channeling realness" problem

Cohen's writing is becoming so incoherent and laced with conservative ideology I feel like he's morphing into Gavin McInnes

Also: great RS article, Whiney

man, i don't like this stuff at all. sounds like juggalofest stuff to me. i read whiney's thing though. glad they are happy and not poor no more. everyone should be happy.
