this is not a poll. this is a statement.


the Sequel to to El-P & Killer Mike's Run the Jewels debut is coming soon....I was posting their singles here last year and slacked off on the updates...this video was released a couple months ago..

El-P is a monster, Killer Mike I have come to enjoy (Took a minute for him to grow on me).

Run the Jewels had some great tracks on it so I have been looking forward to the sequel for a while now.
 


Real shit, I came for the jewels
I'm the killer of kings and fools
I'm the reason the season for treason starts this evening
And this evening the odds ain't even
People praying to the gods but the gods ain't even listening
Don't matter if you're Muslim, Hebrew, Christian
When death runs in the distance there will be no Mercy me's
There will be no reprieve for the thieves
There will be no respect for The Thrones
No master mastered these bones
Your idols all are my rivals
I rival all of your idols
I stand on towers like Eiffel, I rifle down all your idols
Ni**as will perish in Paris, ni**as is nothing but parrots
I write for the writers that write for the liars that impress you and your parents
Is this real or another dimension?
Am I trippin' here in the kitchen?
Am I a victim of my convictions?
I feel my sanity slippin'
And I think I like the freedom
Cannibal, animal, rappers I eat'em
Even in Dubai I smoke like it's legal
***** so exotic she rode on a zebra
Made in America home of the (eagle)
Home of the (anger), home of the (evil)
Do what I do for the good of my people
Holding my lane, smoke jane in a Regal




Mike went all-in on that verse!!

You should check out all of El-P's albums, he has some serious talent as a producer and has a pretty wide body of work for someone that is not that well known.

I like all of his stuff but I'd say that the production he did on the Cannibal Ox - The Cold Vein album is some of the best production I've ever heard on a hip hop album

The Cold Vein was released a year before El-P's debut solo album (Fantastic Damage)....

I always have to laugh when I listen to "Ridiculoid" (one of my favorite beats on the album)

I'm pretty sure nobody was doing anything like this in 2001...so far ahead of it's time!

during the intro El-P can be heard saying "YOU KNOW, THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE FOR MY ALBUM.......it's OK" haha
no surprise that he contributed the 1st verse on this beat

the last verse in the song from Vaste Aire is so ill that it gives me goosebumps

Yeah bummer they won't be working together again any time soon, that album was hot but it bred some bad blood that ran deep. I had a convo going with him about some things then I mentioned something about Ox and replies ended on the spot. Granted this was a couple years ago so things might have changed but sure don't feel like they are gonna patch anything up.
 
track list for RTJ2 was released last week

1. Jeopardy
2. Oh My Darling Don't Cry
3. Blockbuster Night Part 1
4. Close Your Eyes (And Count to F-ck) [feat. Zack de la Rocha]
5. All My Life
6. Lie, Cheat, Steal
7. Early (feat. BOOTS)
8. All Due Respect (feat. Travis Barker)
9. Love Again (Akinyele Back)
10. Crown (feat. Diane Coffee)
11. Angel Duster

if this 1st single is any indication the album will definitely be the best hip hop album of 2014
