If you get the chance to see RTJ live ever under any circumstances, because the energy of being in the room with them and over 1000 other people all screaming, jumping, and moshing will make this video look like a bunch of 7th graders doing their first battle of the bands performance. Energy is everything and no video will ever do these guys justice
Yup, I agree. I was there the first night of the NYC shows and no video really captures the energy that was in that room. Part of the reason my brother and I decided not to record at all and soak in that moment. Epic.
I have been thinking this for a while, but i am convinced now, and while the styles are indeed quite different, i have to say that RTJ is the new Outkast.
saw them in Brooklyn when they brought on Nas and Gangsta Boo. I was all bandaged up from getting cut on some barbed wire an hour earlier; on the subway way there I'd had to protect my friend from getting shivved. Their show was still the most intense thing I experienced that day

The universe fell into place for me on this one and I ended up right where I needed to be... right in the middle of the pit for this show. Thank you Jamie and Mike
I love them live, but wish they wouldn't skip the "I told yall suckers...I told yall on RTJ1, then I told ya again on RTJ2, and you still ain't believe me" in Talk to Me. For some reason I love that part.
katie hovany I know what you mean, it feels as if that line sets you up for the rest of the album, or in this case the whole set, gets the listener/audience member even more pumped than they already are

I saw these guys in Oakland back in February and when they came out to We Are The Champions, I got chills. The best concert I've ever experienced. So excited to see them again in July in San Fransisco
Keegan Moerike Yeah but the live band doesn't exist. You know the energy is much highe If they have a band ... I love RTJ but you can be more creativer with a live band :/..
I f**in LOVE these guys...and whoever mentioned the thing about their nrg live...I can only IMAGINE!!! This video gets me hyped just watching through my phone and El-P is SUCH a fucking awesome producer. They're honestly a breath of fresh air
They definitely look exhausted in this video, saw them at Sound on Sound Fest and in Nashville in January, shit was incredible. Unmatched energy in those crowds
I need to quit watching this! I get to see them this coming Tuesday in Charlotte and can't wait. El-p has had a couple week's rest so his voice should be on point. can't believe the shows not sold out either,I can't get anybody hyped enough to go lol. losers.
RUN EM!! got one friend who MIGHT go,only because he knows their FOH guy and might get a pass otherwise I'm running solo. I'll either have my LA Dodgers hat or my CO hat on and definitely wearing my healTHCare sweatshirt. I'll be easy to spot he-he also cause i'll be lit up with fungi wooo can't wait.
Went to the Portland, Maine show a few weeks back. El-p's parents were there. it was dope as fuck. Mike started singing the wrong verse during Everybody Stay Calm😇 Had to correct himself quick
27:13 Lecrae in the house? I'm not one to judge fucking with Run The Jewels is not a sin 🙏🏻 (Lecrae is a famous Christian rapper for those who don't know)
The sound guy should be fired with this mix! Half the experience is those elegant as an African elephant El-P Beats that shape and match the boys words so perfectly. Still a fucking doooope set! 👊👈
to anyone doubting RTJ's skill and energy live...
I was at this show.
if you ever get the chance to see them live, do it. I guarantee you won't regret it.
The Atomic Punk
I'm seeing them at a Music Festival this spring...I'd rather see them in a closed venue but I there's no reason to complain haha
this show was fuckin outta control man im so glad i picked tix up for it
RT&J are the new PB&J.
SKRRRRRRRRRRRRRRT We dash away
We did a tablet of acid today
Donner and Dixon my pistol is blastin' away!
We are the doctors of death, curing our patients of breath.

Maybe they should wire some mics and GoPro cameras on some of the concertgoers, then use the footage and audio to liven up the video a bit heheh.
YoDawgoneeleven nothing will ever compare to real life, i bet this show was turned the fuck up
Xavier Sosa i was there
it was turned all the way the fuck up
The Atomic Punk thats whats up!
Yup, I agree. I was there the first night of the NYC shows and no video really captures the energy that was in that room. Part of the reason my brother and I decided not to record at all and soak in that moment. Epic.
I normally don't trust people who wear sunglasses inside however El-P is an exception I fuck with him.
yeah, I think he's just insecure about his eyes.
I have been thinking this for a while, but i am convinced now, and while the styles are indeed quite different, i have to say that RTJ is the new Outkast.
RoarOfDamnation or the new Public Enemy considering their subject matter

Happy Birthday EL-P, you and Mike killed it.
The universe fell into place for me on this one and I ended up right where I needed to be... right in the middle of the pit for this show. Thank you Jamie and Mike
Run The Jewels make me smile as a proud Hip Hop Head
Just came back from this show... so good. Also, The Gaslamp Killer's set was crazy good too.
ChaoticInfinityX opening with gambino and Kendrick remixes
They shoulda recorded night one. El-p's voice gone from all the touring. He's powering through tho gotta give it to em
Benjamin Smith says something about their energy that rapping is making him lose his voice.
I hate to say it m8.. but that dude chain smokes, it is finely catching up with him..
Hopefully has his voice back for when I seen them in Belfast at the end of the month...Run em!
johnny scott El's going on vacation for a bit, so I'm sure his voice will get a chance to recover as well.
Damn El those smokes be taxin you man. I just cut back to 2 a day and it feels dope.
I love them live, but wish they wouldn't skip the "I told yall suckers...I told yall on RTJ1, then I told ya again on RTJ2, and you still ain't believe me" in Talk to Me. For some reason I love that part.
katie hovany I know what you mean, it feels as if that line sets you up for the rest of the album, or in this case the whole set, gets the listener/audience member even more pumped than they already are
Ben Milford and it's kind of funny. Why can't we all just listen to Killer Mike?
katie hovany and Angel duster :(
Same with "Im gonna bang this bitch the fuck out". Shit gets me hype.
Right. It definitely adds contexts and gives that extra emphasis. RTJ 3 MOTHERFUCKERZ
RTJ truly are champions.

I would kill to go to a rtj concert. rtj3 is by far my favorite album in a long long time
Thanks Pitchfork for putting this up. I only caught the last 3 songs last night. Feels like I'm all up in this shit IRL.
I saw these guys in Oakland back in February and when they came out to We Are The Champions, I got chills. The best concert I've ever experienced. So excited to see them again in July in San Fransisco
That's a crew I can Trust
I love how there’s barley any phones just fans enjoying the show
they're so good live
Keegan Moerike Yeah but the live band doesn't exist. You know the energy is much highe If they have a band ... I love RTJ but you can be more creativer with a live band :/..
His name is Michael Render and they are the new Avengers. They're here to tell us all our false idols are just pretenders. ALL HAIL!
thank you very very much
I was there the night before this one and man, it was absolutely nuts.
Didn't know who they were so I went to see them in LOLLA in 2017 and to this day I'm huge fan. I've seen them three times now and still listening.
I will pre order RTJ 4 lol
This was a hype show. I saw them live in Portland, ME. Close Your Eyes was part of the encore. That was a hell of a way to come back out.
Hell yeah! I was at that show, so dope. I drove out there from Chicago, well worth it. Saw them here too. Too dope live. RTJ!
I caught them in Pittsburgh. What a great a night. These guys are so inspiring. Keep the love strong everyone 👉👊
real hip hop at it's finest Real Hip Hop for u new jacks and old heads..
Shame they mixed the video like this. Sounds weak without a crowd mic. Im sure the show was probably amazing in person.
It was.
El-p's voice is shot and I don't even care.
saw them in SF on this tour. literal goosebumps when 'We are the champions' played.
I f**in LOVE these guys...and whoever mentioned the thing about their nrg live...I can only IMAGINE!!! This video gets me hyped just watching through my phone and El-P is SUCH a fucking awesome producer. They're honestly a breath of fresh air
the first 15min was tight
I couldn't see them in Atlanta so this is amazing right now!
If you get a chance to see them on their current tour, 100% take it. It's worth every penny.
14:20
the true hero
u da real mvp
الله الله الله اللله الله الله الله الله الله الله الله الله الله الله الله الله الله الله الله الاه الاه الله
Please never take this down!
Can not wait to see them at forecastle, most anticipated group for sure
Saw them in Utah! Was absolutely lit!
8 fuccbois checked in to see what the ruckus was about.
Hector Mejia That fuccboi shit bout to be repealed...
They definitely look exhausted in this video, saw them at Sound on Sound Fest and in Nashville in January, shit was incredible. Unmatched energy in those crowds
They're energy is so contagious. Love these fucks so much
DAAAAAAAAAMN Call Ticketron looks so fuckin' lit, can't wait to see them live in Paris!
Talk about leaving it all on the field. 10/10.
What a setlist, holy shit.
Fire in quarantine.
so great
They start at 14:35
WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS!
Hell yeah this is awesome
El-P should quit those cigarettes
TheCanihavaname Mike smokes cigs as well and git at least 210lbs on El....and homie got crazy stamina
damn man wish they would have recorded the first show. El voice isnt as strong as it was on Sunday when i saw them.
Damn I wanted to see them in Portland but it was sold out 😫
This show was lit af tbh..
Charlotte less than. 2 weeks!! I can't wait.
Yup, looking forward to it.
Coachella bout to be lit!
RTJ is Forsure opening for RATM.
I love the 14:20 minutes of nothing; I sat through it and waited just like everyone else!
This is it goes so hard
This machine kills...
i was here (:
I need to quit watching this! I get to see them this coming Tuesday in Charlotte and can't wait. El-p has had a couple week's rest so his voice should be on point. can't believe the shows not sold out either,I can't get anybody hyped enough to go lol. losers.
musicisthevibeoflife I'm headed to the clt show...run em!
RUN EM!! got one friend who MIGHT go,only because he knows their FOH guy and might get a pass otherwise I'm running solo. I'll either have my LA Dodgers hat or my CO hat on and definitely wearing my healTHCare sweatshirt. I'll be easy to spot he-he also cause i'll be lit up with fungi wooo can't wait.
Dope!
Saw them at terminal 5 during this run, but Zach and Boots weren't there on the night I saw them

I cannot wait to see them at the Roundhouse on April Fools
They are going to turn it OUT.
I like those fucking guys!
Me too!
الله
Went to the Portland, Maine show a few weeks back. El-p's parents were there. it was dope as fuck. Mike started singing the wrong verse during Everybody Stay Calm😇 Had to correct himself quick
I'm here for El-P solo poetry

Also, I must say, it's refreshing to see that the DJ is using wax
