Also, the "Over Under" bit on Pitchfork is pretty damn funny. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTuSnySz4Pw

Killer Mike's reaction to "Fathers" is amazing.

Mike comes out the gate with some of the best Hogan-hate I've heard in quite awhile.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

Good to see I'm not the only one making Bomb Squad comparisons. The layering of sound is very similar, but El-P is doing it with fewer samples. I'd love to hear more DJ scratches thrown in. Damn I miss the days where you could pretty much sample whatever you wanted.

Have you heard Pew Pew Pew?

RTJ + Q-Bert is honestly the most face burning thing I've ever heard. That scratch run at the end of the song…I can never not air scratch during it.

 

[Badosh]

Woke up to the email. mmmmm.

 

[equippedwithtowel]

That's my hypothesis actually.

Bloom is incredible, but that song is simple and perfect and in many ways better than the 50 minutes or whatever that preceded it.

Solid point.

Pew Pew Pew is amazing, it's a shame most haven't heard it b/c it was a bonus track

also, Early is some serious shit

angel duster is killing me rn

 

[Oldschoolgamer]

This shit feels like when The Terminator stepped out of the flames. Gawd damn.

 

[OniBarubary]

Just listened to it all the way through. Gonna run it again, but Early is my front-runner for best track. God fucking damn is it.

 

[Bacon]

On my 2nd listen. This shit is fire.

 

[Grakl]

Holy shit this is even better the second time.

 

[J@hranimo]

Listen to over half of this on the way to work this morning.

Fuuuuuuuuck this album is raw, even more dope than the first RTJ album. Serious Rap AOTY contender with Logic's debut for me personally.

 

[see5harp]

no beach house at all. honest

Suit yourself.

 

[Cuphead]

Oh yeah, this is getting plenty of plays.

4 Cups for this one

 

[see5harp]

I don't know about liking everything prefuse 73 has put out though (and I like world music especially south American stuff). Four Tet definitely got the better of those two.

 

[Pinko Marx]

OMG. Aoty. No one is beating this. No way. I almost broke my neck listening to this. I just wanna dropkick. someone right now

 

[Az]

halfway through 2nd listen

I feel like burning down a building

OH MY

This shit is so fucking good. I need to fist fight a bear or something.

Yuuuuuuup

 

[Bobby Roberts]

It kinda peters out a little in the last 3 tracks, but then again, I can't imagine the album keeping up the intensity that it shows in the first six.

Really, really solid shit.

 

[jyoung188]

Wow, this album is so fucking good.

 

[Mortemis]

So god damn good. I need to punch something.

 

[see5harp]

Gangsta Boo putting non ass eaters on blast.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

this rtj piece is fantastic

I don't know how this ends weak. Angel Duster is one of the best songs on the album production wise. Reminds me of that Jazz instrumental album El-P put out.

YESSSSS

that is 100% totally it.
there were some serious bangers on that one man

angel duster is so good

 

[Trey]

Goddamn, this album.

God damn.

 

[Alpende]

Maaan, I can't wait to listen to this. Downloading it now. Gonna get buy physical copies of both albums.

 

[billy beane]

I think I found my album of the year. Shit bangs.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

I don't know how this ends weak. .

I said peters out a little. Not that it ends weak. Just that it doesn't maintain the intensity that it starts with. That's not even necessarily a bad thing, really.

 

[Mattlikewhoa]

Ugh, sound cloud links are down

This would have made my work day that much sweeter...

 

[ampere]

Officially released? Downloading.

Seeing them in ATL in a few weeks

 

[Def Jukie]

This is so much better than the first album. This feels like the first Mega Man to Mega Man 2 jump in quality. The first one is good but the 2nd is the true masterpiece. El was not fucking around with the production and I feel like they have much better chemistry on this record. The beats feel like they fit both of them this time around where I thought El felt a little out of place at times on the first record. It also feels much more like a proper album this time around where the first album seemed more like an EP to me. This is going to be on heavy rotation for a long while.

Me too! got the tickets today, and none of my friends want to go with me.

I'm so pumped, Mike is wicked live

 

[Mortemis]

Maaaan, All Due Respect...

 

[Fancy Clown]

Yeah, this is good. Think I like this better than RTJ

"she's got that dick in her mouth all day" lol

 

[studyguy]

Got reports of cars, homes, dudes spontaneously combusting from these beats.

Been going all day so far and it's still fire.

 

[TheExhaustedWalrus]

So excited to listen to this after class. I saw them live a couple nights ago and they were great, did some new stuff as well.

 

[bobbychalkers]

Passed the whip test with flying colors. Had to throw my shit on cruise just so I wouldn't floor it during Lie Cheat Steal.

 

[greenry]

Love Again is incredible.

 

[Rockk]

Wasn't quite feeling it

then I got to the second half of the album. damn

 

[kai3345]

Can't wait to hear the Ratking x Despot remix of Blockbuster Night

 

[PhoenixDark]

Have you heard Pew Pew Pew?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TV6i8QFf4ng

RTJ + Q-Bert is honestly the most face burning thing I've ever heard. That scratch run at the end of the song…I can never not air scratch during it.

Yup it's dope. BTW I'm bummed Nas didn't jump on any tracks or remixes. The album is being released on his label.

Can't wait to see if Black Milk can top this album. Outside of that I think RTJ might have rap aoty.

 

[Xe4]

Rolling Stones released a real good article about the making and history of Run the Jewels and RTJ2

[Dreams-Visions]

Maybe I need to spin it a few more times.

 

[codhand]

Maaaan, All Due Respect...

[injurai]

[Borgnine]

This record.

At least as good as the first.

 

[90TilInfinity]

'All My Life'

What the fuck is this beat. Jesus.
