We are raising $40k so our two favorite artists, Killer Mike and El-P, will remix "Run The Jewels 2" with all cat sounds for the music.



Killer Mike and El-P are releasing the highly anticipated “Run The Jewels 2” on October 28 2014. If you click here ------->http://www.runthejewels.net/ you can pre-order the album. In the special packages section they have offered 'The Meow The Jewels Package' for $40,000. It is described as, "Run The Jewels will re-record RTJ2 using nothing but cat sounds for music. " So you're telling me that if I can raise $40,000 I'll get to hear a hip-hop album made with all cat sounds? CHALLENGE ACCEPTED


Feel free to preview the two tracks, 'Oh My Darling Don't Cry' and 'Blockbuster Night Part 1' , that will be included on the remixed album once the project is funded.

I may be getting all sappy here but it is pretty amazing the impact of RTJ and RTJ2 has had. I honestly think the influence of KM and El-P will be felt for years to come both from their solo ventures and their team ventures.

Truth. I probably post here about these dudes more than anything else out there these days but I guess that is because all of my favorite hip hop artists are either dead or have grown stale. This duo deserves all the hype that is surrounding the upcoming album.


They both seem to have brought the best about of each other. A hip hop match made in heaven. At first I thought it was an odd couple but it didn't take long for the synthesis of abstract East Coast and Southern rap to grow on me.

Believe it or not, it took me until today to get around to watching their music video for this song....if anything on RTJ2 can top this......I dunno....I'll be left speechless I guess



[Verse 1: El-P]
That was me in BK on Atlantic
Never looked both ways, ran in traffic

Pops went away but I stayed, vagrant
Placed where the steel and cement became nature

Love what you did with the place, it looks gorgeous
Cityscape where the blood of good men courses

And the dreamers are bull trapped in porcelain
Take a knee to the gods and get horse shit

Wanna live for the thrill? They'll arrange it
Got a bevy of imps to spit hatred
Shit'll get in your head and cause panic

Have you desperately begging to get famous
Get your dignity dirty and left orphaned
Sanity on the fringe of distorted

Who are they to just take shit and hoard it?
Who am I that I don't get my portion?

The most impressionable minds get molested
And informed by manipulating forces

Don't fret little man, don't cry
They can never take the energy inside you were born with
Knowing that, understand you could never be poor
You already won the war, you were born rich

You can only take the energy you had
Going back to the realm or the home where your lord is

Whoever whatever that lord is couldn't
Give a **** if you ever made fortunes

**** anyone ever trying to run that bum shit
Send 'em to the flames where the orcs live
Them and the lost minds thinking they're smarter than us
Don't understand love's importance
And we can weaponize that, bring 'em back to the truth
Where the ashes and dust got formed in


[Verse 2: Killer Mike]
The beat breaks and your teeth break
Keep your canines embedded in my knuckles as a keepsake
It would seem your veneers just mere souvenirs
Falling out your mouth and on to the landscape

Me and El-P do the secret handshake
Then I pummel punch a pumpkin head punk in his pimple face
'Till he's punch drunk cause he's sweet as a pound cake

(Ain't he pussy, Mike?) Yeah, El, I'll say
Into the wild, wildstyle ghetto child running wild
Where the lions and the owls stay
The powers that be even offered up reprieves
Told us they ain't take us out if we bow to our knees
But they can give that to the kings and
Queens and the worshipers of idols and followers of things
Cause I would rather be in the jungle with the savages

It's kill or be killed and I'm working with the averages
My professor Emeritus say we been cursed being brought to the Americas
How you raise a whole human single parent, no marriages no sense of heritage
Planned Parenthood helping plan miscarriages
But I'm lucky mommy already had a narrative
Product of a teenage love,
My arrogance to rise from the pride
And the job my parents did

Named Mike I was told it was godlike
Even danced with the devil, came out alright

OK, honor y'all? No way
Still spell America with the triple K
Word up to Spice 1 and O'Shea

And any MC peepin' what I go through
Real rap, my last line's so true
Rest in peace to Pimp C and Camu too
We do it for you
