Damn, after 2:35

Not too well versed in hip-hop but yeah, this is damn enjoyable.

This album goes so hard. I love these two together, both talented rappers on their own for sure, but when together they play off each other so well ... It's a tossup between RTJ2 and Hail Mary Mallon's bestiary for my hip-hop album of 2014.

killer mike is dope

'El-P Says Run The Jewels Are In The Studio With Massive Attack'

http://p4k.co/Jqbvc

oh shit

I was gonna say that's an unlikely collab, but then again they featured the former Rage Against the Machine front man on RtJ2.

It's almost like they're spearheading an artistic rebellion against today's talent-starved mainstream by recruiting other veteran artists from the '90s. That or I'm being whimsical.

shieeeeet. I hope that'll be for more than one song.

This could be excellence of the highest order. Lets hope so.

I don’t think you’re getting the way I’m looking at this, Mike. I don’t think you understand my love of Seagal. It’s not in an admiration way.

And fflol @ elp's Sticks fan fiction

Some dude tried to attack Mike and El at SXSW apparently, he gets pretty owned by their security team, check the clips... Seems he was going after El, and Mike steps in before the crew does.

THIS album and Syro are my fav releases of 2014, hands down.

Agreed 'tis a great album, and I went right off hip-hop in about 1989, just when the Golden Age was fading. I suppose there were a few years left but Run The Jewels just has a perfect vibe for me.

Looking forward to the new one.

How could the golden end before Low End Theory, Illmatic and 36 Chambers!?!

Reasonable Doubt, Illmatic... Outkast...???
