"Me and Mike are gonna try something, with both of us rappin. Just for fun..."
Hell yeah you are!
Ooh La la
🤜🏻👈🏻
Five years later and El-P is wearing that same shirt to interviews and Despot still hasn't dropped an album yet.
Fuckin bums!
6 years now.... Run the jewels is fire though. You can tell Despot is super fucked up, and El-P is kinda bothered and embarrassed.
its more in the future and despot still didn't drop but still has the best selector verse.
Green Ghost despot has a dry humor
2019 UPDATE: No update.
This video needs an '80s movie style epilogue at this point.
The Harlem Shake beat went on to become a viral phenomenon and #1 hit the next year
5 Pointz was whitewashed, demolished, and is now an apartment building
That little project El talked about with Killer Mike turned out alright
Despot is still planning on dropping that album early next year
"just for fun" - drops Run the Jewels. Damn. I wish I had more fun.
This comment killed me
+Andrew Edwards enter RTJ 2,3
8 years later we are on RTJ4, and Despot hasn’t dropped his album.
“Early next year “ best joke ever told in hip hop 😂
Despot has a show on HBOMAX, so atleast he's doing things. But yeah, that album's never coming out. Or it'll ironically come out when he dies.
Love how El calls him out right after. "why not, a lie is a lie you know"
"Got the game sealed like a walrus in a thesaurus."
Jesus Christ, Despot.
For real dude. That was killer.
@@Whatdaballllllllllio That’s a very, very corny bar hahaha. It kind of seems like it’s intelligent for a second but if you really think about it, it’s awful. So easy to come up with some crap like that that only makes sense one way you look at it.
@@Vaughnmateee believe it or not some people like that stuff lil bro
"I think you're an obnoxious little man and I'm tired of your shit" omg lol
Despot, with the interest rates that's been climbing, you owe us like 3-4 albums now.
"Yeah, she can give up on that one for sure."
lmao El is savage
hate that word but so appropriate
love that word and it's usage here is disgusting
I love appropriately disgusting things, but I hate words in general.
Need a sitcom with El-P and Despot and I needed it yesterday
Despot has a show on HBOMAX.
@@jimmyMNSTR_911 what!? What's it called?
@@rosalind1635 "Chillin Island"
(6 episodes, season 1)
"I'm going ham, I'm going cheese, I'm going bread".. I say this when I make sandwiches. Despot with the dual birds up is my constant mood.
I remember when this came out , a decade later , when Harlem shake was dropping El-P was mentioning working with Killer Mike, little did we or HE know the greatness about to become. . So cool looking back , there were signs ,
Even EL-P been waiting on that despot album 😂😂😂
Hahahaha just pointing at his head the whole time. I'd hire Despot for a hype man.
Despot's the kind of hype man that would slowly step off the stage when your verse is about to drop 25 seconds in, slowly walk to the side and away from the crowd, then at the same speed, step back on the stage when the song ends and slowly walk up to you
just pointing at your head the whole time
lol still waiting on that despot album....
2043. One can hope
6 months later....still waiting
Its never coming out
cavemanvi imagine when it does though.
robotsweat el p cracks me up hard with 'a lie is a lie' , perfect delivery
Despot, release something already.
How many years later; still no album.
"Why not? A lie's a lie, ya know?" Hahahaha
rest in peace 5 Pointz
Despot sounds like he just took a handful of percocet.
Dude is wrecked lol
He's having a hard time even standing up straight and still killed it.
Never realized Despot was even more ginger and troll-like than El-p.
Ha!!
despots flows smooth af
Despost looking like that unassuming nobody at the climbing gym just hanging back watching everyone climb then just crushes double digits.
The resurgence that Despot wanted wasn't what he got. "Harlem Shake" videos don't even have the Harlem Shake dance.
I enjoyed this short film. These young men are quite enjoyable. Enjoyment is truly the emotion i'd like to convey. Enjoy.
the best episode of selector yet. i'm ginger so these guys are pretty much gods in our world. EL-P, Despot and Josh Homme x
Oh we just might make arguably 2 of the best albums in the last few years. Just for fun.
+Top Calibre Rob That's how it should be, isn't it? Them enjoying their art and their creative processes leads to us enjoying the results.
+Ian Rogers lmao, what's good Ian
TFW RTJ3
Top Calibre Rob make it 3
God damn I love Despot. I love how he's pointing at El-P during his freestyle
I'm an El-P fan since Fantastic Damage and love RTJ and all that, but man Despot killed it.
That little man is a cool dude.
Despot: rap game Paul Giamatti.
Please Despot... we need the album.
ce smith Lost it at "little gangster leprechaun"
fucking hilarious. Why not? A lie is a lie.
Despot is very funny
I watch this weekly. Despot is the man.
Do you still watch it weekly?
8 years later, still no album
They should make a collab album called Ginger Gang or something
Ginger Aliens
despot and el look like brothers
still waiting for that despot album.
RUN THE JEWELS was just for fun.
hilarious how they were on bauuer harlem shake before it really popped off
greatest show ive ever been too was killer mike and el p with despot.
Still been watching weekly. Waiting on that album.
I saw him open for RTJ 2 or 3 summers ago and thought he would have released something by now.
Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends
Haha, wow
3:59 best part of the interview 😂💀7:13
The intense sarcasm of Despot talking about Harlem Shake is hilarious.
Its 2022. Still no Despot album
This is old but personally I think despot (although rare) has some of the most killer bars.
By far the best show on Pitchfork TV. Fly me to Paris. NOW!
Lmao, Bruh said he went to a BBW convention! 🤣
8 steps to perfection still my shit in 2019
despot always been dope as fuck goddamn... still waiting on that album tho...ahhaa he seems way stoned or maybe hes just one of those typa guys who doesnt really like talking and shit so he just says random shit when people talk to him haha.. I'm kinda like that lol
LMFAO despot funny af
I love these guys
I respect despots commitment to these bits
El-P is a true MC and a real HIP HOP KAT!
Somehow still relevant.
Early next year, looking forward to it...
Despot, its early next year, lets go
best Selector, hands down. These two need to release at least an EP together or something
dem both sparked it mang
Agreed. We need more Despot!
Both these dudes beast.
this is the best verse despot ever spit
Bam, Despot wants Harlem Shake, he gets harlem shake. These guys are steps ahead.
If you go to the bandcamp page, the tune is called Elvis on the album, The New Routines.
Love how they all rap for fun. El. Despot. Mike. Mr. FN.
It was also used for "Dimethyltryptamine" by Jay Electronica
Yo parts of this interview were kinda sad/funny at the same time. I don't know Despot well but at the end when El-P was like "it's really hard being your friend" and Despot just goes "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry" and looks down at the ground and El-P just goes "it's cool" as it goes to the awkward wide shot I was laughin my ass off. Hey at least the dude seems real though.
despot i so underrated. every verse i hear from him is the best one on whatever song it is
Did anyone say the obvious yet, that El + Despot killed the harlem shake beat before it was made popular?
Actually, Despot said he wants to see a resurgence of it...and that's exactly what happened.
It's an interview, but cut to 4:41 and (lyrics come in around 4:59), man these dudes show out.
6 years later. Still no Despot album.
2 of the best gingers in hip hop out now
When I hear the word "effortless" I think of Despot. Dude is phenomenal
i love that despot had his middle fingers up the entire time.
I watch this at least 3 times a day. Too ill.
Got the game 'sealed' like a walrus in a thesarus.
Cuz walruses and seals are similar animals, y'dig
the masters....
The little man with the fingers up went hard.
early next year
TedBearMan More Like Early Next Never. lol
El-P. Much love dude!
I was lucky enough to meet El-P in Bristol. He didn't have any weed so I hooked him up my homegrown shit. Top,top bloke. Funny and gracious.
"My name is despot, it's not depot, it's not despo, it's despot. It's my rap name, it's gotta sound cool."
Killed it
Funny seeing him talk about Run the Jewels @2:21
The Middlefinga-pose is so cool. Looking forward to the show in Denmark!
such a dope verse from despot
It is "Phantom Of The Synths" from J Dilla but the beat is also used in "Gazzilion Ear" from MF Doom. The sample is from Giorgio Moroders "Theme From Midnight Express".
The god el-p...and despot aka the vincent van gogh look alike rapper
Its 2017 and RTJ3 just dropped. Just for fun El... just for fun.
Despot wished the Harlem Shake would make a comeback. Be careful what you wish for. We had Harlem Shake videos coming out our asses at one point lol.
NYCBostero different dance tho
NYCBostero this interview was posted before the harlem shake hype in 2013.
+xJoBoy that's exactly what my post was about.
He's talking about the actual onr
Despot needs to release an album.
Despot hand steady like the surgeon he is .
8 years later and still no Despot album...
"why not, a lie is a lie" hahahah fucking love el-p
"Got the game sealed like walrus in the thesaurus!" 0_o oh shit!!!
March 2021 and still no Despot album.
Baauer!
I think DJ shadow had the same feelings with the approach producing the RTJ collabo
"I made a lot of friends" lol
Not sure if El-P's was a freestyle, but I digress. Dope any way you put it
There's more to that Despot dude than I originally thought.
