Run the Jewels
“I’m gonna bang this bitch the fuck out,” yells Killer Mike before the opening track of Run the Jewels 2. It serves as a mission statement for the entire album—who knows what these guys are angry at, exactly (possible targets include the government, other rappers, “fuck boys,” and anyone who has ever overlooked them), or if their lathered delivery is just two guys at the height of their abilities daring one another to go farther, but damn if Run the Jewels 2 isn’t a monster of an album. Even the single time the album really flirts with tired misogyny (“Love Again”) is spun on its head with a colossally raunchy verse from female rapper Gangsta Boo that offers some equality to the whole affair. Whether it’s rage or just two guys trying to make each other laugh with dark humor, RTJ2 stands tall in a year of weak hip-hop. (www.runthejewels.net)

I haven’t heard the album so far, but it can be seen that the album do have some wonderful ratings online. That alone is enough for any music lover to go for this album. The theme of the album also sounds so good to me.

I did listen to the songs from this album and to be frank these songs are indeed a decent try in the rap genre. The theme of the album has been well kept through each of the songs and they have been able to create a groovy mood throughout.

It’s important to note that Run the Jewels 2 is an album—it’s on a real label and you can pay money to own it. And the transition from mix tape-to-album explains every progression El-P and Killer Mike have made in the past year. This is the most viciously realized rap album of 2014. trinitykochireview.com

I read the article you shared here regarding Run the Jewels. But I didn’t understand the concept you tried to share through this article. I think you could have written the article in a simple way so that everyone could understand it very well.

The entire album is pretty solid as the mission statement says it all. After all, all the old tapes are now emerging from Run the Jewels background, something me and my band knows.

One of the early tolls that entrepreneurs are quite often forced to face is the “re-making” of themselves that can include growing beyond their current circle of contacts. http://www.megadede.one/

To be prosperous in a football simulation, it isn’t a terrible notion to understand how football is being played. Navigating the elaborate direction of putting together a supreme Team and finding the cards that will enhance your team in the direction you want has ever been a daunting endeavor for new players.
