Dude it's amazing that two different rappers who grinded in the underground for nearly 2 decades were able to come together and make something that is the very definition of Hip-hop. How can you not love this shit?
I endorse the F out of these guys.....Anyone I came into contact with since their first Osheaga appearance (when I was first exposed) are now aware of RTJ, many of them fans.
usually the same people who say this will simply refuse to actually give anything new a decent chance so they will discard something as good as this and ignorantly keep saying their original statement unfortunately
15 for me and i feel ya.Their getting their dues but I still feel a lil slept on but will 100 % be remeberd as one of the best by the heads and more as they have reached hights of the masses while staying true and standing out, not stuck in one sound wich can oviously only last so long.
Killer Mike is the shit and this music really bridges a gap..their DJ is insane..I am Punk and metal and this is the new breed. Punk attitude backed with social lyrics...love it
Pretty sure there's a reason they're friends with Zack de la Rocha, haha. I mean, El-P and Killer Mike are fans of Metal, Punk, and a variety of other genres, and I think it reflects in their music, imo.
Every time RTJ does something, it's my new favourite thing that they've done. This was definitely a stand out for me on their first LP and I am too stoked that they made a music video for it, let alone one as cool as this.
Bro, EL-P went all the way back with this beat, I can hear that Boogie Down Productions oriented sample for South Bronx, right off Brown's Get Up Offa That Thing
Ladies & Gentleman, Gangsters & Thugs, Hustlers of all ages, the greatest rap duo that has & will ever be, Jamie Meline & Michael Render, Killer Mike & EL-P, Yankee & The Brave, Run The F*cking Jewels 🥊👑
I've been listening to RTJ for years, and I'm just now realizing that this song is their grand entrance, the beginning. We're going to speak our truths with no strings attached and zero fucks given. You've been warned.
El p is one of the most influential hip-hop artists of our time both in front of and behind the board. Killer Mike is amazing but please give Jamie the same amount of credit LOL
mane this fire bruh good job from the both of you well connected flows punch lines on point never heard of run the jewels ( sorry if I got that wrong ) but bruh just got added to my list of rappers I'll be listing to in the near future killer mike mad skills bruh you made the song I mean your image brought the rawness this song needed..... more more we need more songs like this the energy from the video alone gave me some hope in the rap game because most rappers who reach stardom loose their vision when fame is touch the message I received was from a typically male perspective but you rap about our problems as a nation women and money and the flow you two can construct y'all struck gold well in my book
Thank God I finally found these rappers (RTJ) that are now making part of my life. Finally some one that can make the hip pop evolution goes on. This is the real hip hop of this time. Bring it on guyz!!!
EL- producto still current. that's always good to see. dudes a legend. for all you youngins check out his earlier stuff from company flow and cannibal ox. if it wasn't for EL-p we wouldn't have aesop rock, Mr. lif, vast aire, vordul mega. def jux was some prime shit back in the late 90s to early 2000's.
These boys own Hip Hop most total no doubt no contest coz aint nobody got it going on so completely miles above all others that may want to compete. No other artists can step to em! I was into hiphop back in high school 1980s when it was bare boned beat bass n rapping. Public Enemy, Ice T KRS- 1, Schoolly D n stuff but RTJ do it like dat but way bigger, harder more complex n with supreme top notch rapping. Faultless stylish rhymes im just in awe of. O almost worship it!💣👊😻
+admn87 At the Royal Oak Music Theater? I'll be there!!! I've been waiting for like 2-3 months. Now its just the saturday after next. DETROIT WHAT!!! Ive been trying to see El-P live since like the year 2000. I went to a show at the Blind Pig (Legendary right in your face venue in Ann Arbor,MI) I believe the name on the ticket was El-P & Friends.)Well his friends turned out to br Cage, Copywrite, & a few other people , mostly from the Weathermen i think maybe even Camu was there. But El-P didnt't show up! I was upset about it, but it still was dope af.
Their beats are always one of a kind, so much substance just in the music let alone these 2 with microphones, RTJ gonna crucify this new school mumble wack rap shit till its is dead like fucking disco! Hip hop is alive breathing fire on the new school rap and its bullshit that is a plague.
Dude it's amazing that two different rappers who grinded in the underground for nearly 2 decades were able to come together and make something that is the very definition of Hip-hop. How can you not love this shit?
So how did they find each other?
Thanks to a fucking cartoon producer, no less
@@MaestroAlvis they were introduced to each other by the adult swim guys
@@MrJlowy really? I actually didn't know that. who was it?
@@HokiePitcher22th-cam.com/video/RtVHC5BPzaM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=KbRQN6z8WjJ_jin8
Im a metalhead mainly,love mainly extreme metal but recently discovered RTJ . Now it has taken over all my playlists .Love this group
same
Dropping in your mentions to cosign
People that are into metal tend to like $uicideboi$, RTJ, and Paris Texas. 🤷
If you ever hear someone say "hip hop is dead", "rap is just mainstream now", "hip hop all sounds the same", please share RTJ with them. Thank you :)
Yes, I was one of those whom you're speaking of. Then I heard RTJ....
I endorse the F out of these guys.....Anyone I came into contact with since their first Osheaga appearance (when I was first exposed) are now aware of RTJ, many of them fans.
Sam West hi
RTJ made me believe in the RAW power Of Hip Hop again.PHENOMENAL!!!
usually the same people who say this will simply refuse to actually give anything new a decent chance so they will discard something as good as this and ignorantly keep saying their original statement unfortunately
This beat gets stuck in my head every damn time I hear it
Mine too
:-) been into Hip-Hop for 30 years and RTJ have become one of my favourite rap groups ever.
+ToroidalVortexLove
since '87, and yep RTJ's is my favourite
U musta missed some
15 for me and i feel ya.Their getting their dues but I still feel a lil slept on but will 100 % be remeberd as one of the best by the heads and more as they have reached hights of the masses while staying true and standing out, not stuck in one sound wich can oviously only last so long.
@@cunneyes qqqqqqqqq1 was was a qqaa as a as
Fan of killer mike back in the 00s I thought he just fell off they are slowly creeping into my top 10s for sure
It's possible that every RTJ song is their best
Killer Mike is the shit and this music really bridges a gap..their DJ is insane..I am Punk and metal and this is the new breed. Punk attitude backed with social lyrics...love it
spudhufer El-P's beat
He also rapped on this, he is the white one... a genius in his own right.
Life long Metal/Punk. Same. \m/
Pretty sure there's a reason they're friends with Zack de la Rocha, haha. I mean, El-P and Killer Mike are fans of Metal, Punk, and a variety of other genres, and I think it reflects in their music, imo.
you mentioned the DJ. That is mostly El-P on the beat. he*s a sound technician
Shout out to Mike for giving Corner Gas the respect it deserves. One of the best Canadian shows on TV.
Corner gas is terrible, it makes me embarrassed for Canadian TV
Derek Thornton you have no idea what you’re talking about.
@@derekthornton6016 it's pretty funny when you stop being cynical and that's not an insult, I felt the same way.
"I'm stuck in a time capsule we're rappers are actually factual... meaning shit you actually say may have killers to come and clap at you".. 🔥🔥 🔥🔥 🔥
unique beats, this is art!!!!!!!!! genius rappers!!!!!! dont lose this vision!!!!continue doing it more!!!!!
Stop yelling at me!
Every time RTJ does something, it's my new favourite thing that they've done. This was definitely a stand out for me on their first LP and I am too stoked that they made a music video for it, let alone one as cool as this.
These two got the best flow out there. Prove me wrong!
Super sick beat. I love Killer Mike.
I was just thinking that same thing
Jeremy Standiford El-P is at the top of his generation of producers
Because EL-P makes sick beats
both are great, I personally prefer El-p
The contrast between their voices is amazing. Non-earth beats. Simple genius!
One of their best beats 🔥
You do not want to know that I repeated this nearly 100 times tonight.
8 steps to perfection the sum of each part forms an octagon where rhyme styles get sparked...
Bro, EL-P went all the way back with this beat, I can hear that Boogie Down Productions oriented sample for South Bronx, right off Brown's Get Up Offa That Thing
Killer Mike like corner gas thats sick

The hook on this song is one of the best moments on the entire album.
This BEAT goes HARD!
i've heard this a million times. i still can't believe the utter faith el-p and killer mike put into each other. its epic. such love such trust.
2:39 no, literally, someone just wrote on the musical score "smack da keys"
El p is one of the most influential hip-hop artists of our time both in front of and behind the board. Killer Mike is amazing but please give Jamie the same amount of credit LOL
Underrated producer❤️🔥🔥🆒😍🎶🎶🎶🕺🎼🎹🤣🤣🤣😁

this f**ckin' awesome
I love Run The Jewels
I'm so thankful I found RTJ. Seriously, listened to a dozen of your songs (and some mad mike solos)-HOT FIRE!!! A+ thanks boys
They're ridiculous. Can't believe no one told me about them sooner.
mane this fire bruh good job from the both of you well connected flows punch lines on point never heard of run the jewels ( sorry if I got that wrong ) but bruh just got added to my list of rappers I'll be listing to in the near future killer mike mad skills bruh you made the song I mean your image brought the rawness this song needed..... more more we need more songs like this the energy from the video alone gave me some hope in the rap game because most rappers who reach stardom loose their vision when fame is touch the message I received was from a typically male perspective but you rap about our problems as a nation women and money and the flow you two can construct y'all struck gold well in my book
I almost forgot to listen to this today.
This is one of the best jams ever created ever.
This is what we need in times like this!!!
Everyone keeping it safe!!!
da best hip-hop duet ever
Thank God I finally found these rappers (RTJ) that are now making part of my life. Finally some one that can make the hip pop evolution goes on. This is the real hip hop of this time. Bring it on guyz!!!
Heavy metal head here. Meshuggah, lamb of god, slayer ect. These dudes, run the jewels, are fuckin metal, too. Love it
I agree 🤘🏿
I heard one of there songs on a college radio station and have been hooked since
I reach where I have to but Tulsa greenwood could see good from a blessing of a visit from these two innovators!
The Raw lyrics on this song give me chills.
A RTJ concert or festival that has them on stage looks like 1 hell of party judging by this clip!🤔🤔 Daaaaaaammmmmmnn🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Best track on this record.
Every time I hear that song come on my mp3 and I didn't put it on...I get CRUNK! and if I'm driving I become Ricky Bobby
DJ Shadow can really rap I wonder if he's a smoker
kool ad droppin that lo key cameo
I thought so. Had to go to the comments to get it confirmed
Pretty sure Despot is featured too. It is a "huzzah" remix reunion
El-P best hip-hop artist out there
EL- producto still current. that's always good to see. dudes a legend. for all you youngins check out his earlier stuff from company flow and cannibal ox. if it wasn't for EL-p we wouldn't have aesop rock, Mr. lif, vast aire, vordul mega. def jux was some prime shit back in the late 90s to early 2000's.
Run The Jewels gives me hope for the future, thank you!

Seriously, how can anyone thumbs down this song?

It's like crack. I keep coming back.

These dudes are having way too much fun. Making me question what the fuck I'm doing sittin' here typing about. Time to go "Get it!!"
RTJ ........dammmmm...never stop
This was the best beat of that year
Killer Mike has a Corner Gas shirt on. Perfect!
Killer Mike with the Corner Gas T-shirt! Saskatchewan represent!
Well, to me, this seems like there's still hope for a Sea Legs vid. Do the right thing guys lol
+Top Calibre Rob I'll co-sign that comment! Sea Legs is in the top five of RTJ songs and deserves a dope video!
Never thought we'd see another video from the first album, so this is super ill!! Hope one day we might see a vid for Sea Legs!
i seen Despot a few times in the vid. his album was epic!!! i hope he's on RTJ3
This video is cut together very well.
See these guys on 24th!! So hype!

So mad I couldn't catch em in my town last week. Definitely the act i wanna see live most right now.
"...Mike'll f*ck up a rappers life up like Monique did to Precious" has got to be my favorite line in this song! That's vicious!
this is pure gold
The fact you guys made a video for this is so dope.

Which flow mike starts in with....goofy, stooly 🤜🤛
