    Tellin' her to hold on and she tried hard but she just couldn't hang

      Grammys are worthless though, all awards shows are in the end is rich people giving trophies to other rich people, and trophies aren't needed to know what music is truly worth listening to.
      Besides that, with kind of topics RTJ sing about, you really think they're ever gonna get a Grammy? You really think they're gonna get one if they don't start making over-produced radio drivel? Nah, I'd rather RTJ stay who they are and have them spread by word-of-mouth than to become something mass-produced and watered down to suit whatever safe opinions the music industry wants them to have.

    Underrated, I can’t tell you how many times I’ve put on an RTJ album to get me through a shitty day or even on my best days. I stand with Mike and El-P 💯 and I look forward to any new project y’all put out. Even got my son a RTJ hoodie cuz imma put him on GOOD music with a message 💯

    This is RTJ with a slice of Pink Floyd. El P beats are such nuanced perfection ❤️
    And Killer Mike....
    This is musical magic.
