The Run The Jewels Appreciation Thread

I appreciate them. They are definitely on the "decent MCs" list and there are definitely *still* many better MCs releasing material, even these days, but their tracks are always fire and they generally tend to mean well when they rap. Good dudes, etc.


I love their stuff, but what do you mean “mean well”? Blockbuster Night Part 1 comes to mind.

Been a big fan of El-P since Fantastic Damage.  And then became a fan of Killer Mike when I heard the album that El-P produced.  RTJ is awesome and it's been cool to an incredibly talented guy like El-P get the notoriety and widespread appreciation he deserves. El-P has been one of my favorite rappers/beatmakers/producers etc for 15+ years. I love his rapping, but the sounds he makes are just so fucking good.

So many cool beats in the background of some of the songs. Like the beat from Funky by The D.O.C. on Out of Sight. The synth on Never Look Back sounds like it's from the original Tron movie. Walking In The Snow and Ju$t are pretty damn on the nose right now. A great album from start to finish.
