I like songs here n there but Mike's raps be predictable on that ooey gooey punch you, face go kablooey. El-p has a decent verse once in a blue moon....also not into the sleepy bloopy quasi EDM aspect.

RTJ is gym music for cac dudes and the token act at rock festivals like Pitchfork

cool story breh. I listen to them from time to time. I'm not a cac

stop putting limitations on the reach and scope of Black people.

all the people that cry bout Killer Mike beats making music for cacs were absent when he needed them in his solo career...

Nah. Finding out that “kill your masters” was a metaphor, and he had no real interest in change. Only elevating his socioeconomic standing. The same guy who made “That’s Life” chastising the wealthy for forgetting about those they come from is now a bootlicker. Kinda takes the air out of the music for me.

that's on you. stop elevating humans to god level they are men and they error. life is a learning process. Mike is not perfect he's just a man. you are mad because you thought otherwise. people don't have to play into everything you expect them to do. you really thought he was telling you to get your guns and kill somebody . who knew rappers use metaphors?

You can’t say Run The Jewels suck when people like Post Malone run hiphop. It’s just impossible for that to happen.

If it wasn’t for EL, Killer Mike rap career would be pretty much non existent today. And I’m a Mike fan from pledge allegiance. And that future comment was wack. What makes RTJ good to me, is because no one sounds like their shyt. And both artists can spit.

I don't even like RTJ but....this gotta be one of the most random, out of left field comparisons I've ever seen.

Am I missing something?

Exactly. They sound unique and Mike has a strong career. I appreciate what EL does because he does him. I don't love all his shyt but it reminds me of how rap used to be with people carrying their own sound as an identity.

Walking in the snow and never look back are probably my favorite tracks so far.

 

[Trot LaRoc]

I listened and this is solid....production less edm and more raw.

I like how el-p flipped misdemeanor in a way but reversing it

 

[Da King]

fukk any music associated with that crakkka El-P

 

[Cadillac]

This is aight.

Production could be better but it ain't all bad
