I can’t help but cry tears everytime. I love this track, it sums up our doom and also our impulse to rise from our own ashes. Pure power and beauty. I love you rtj!
Yes! I Agree completely. Also, This track and the next track- "a few words for the firing squad (radiation) too. They are both so so good. Very powerful. Plus, how they kind of bleed into each other and just flow. It's genius.
You walk into this room at your own risk, because it leads to the future, not a future that will be but one that might be. This is not a new world, it is simply an extension of what began in the old one
El-P was always nasty, but it's so cool to see him get even better when he knows he's got Killa Mike as a follow-up on his beats. Sickest pair of the last decade at least.
Jesus... Mavis' part is just so full of emotions here her singing just breaks my heart while Josh weeps in the background all over this dense beat giving so much tension and unease only broken for a brief moment by a few jazz-y insets... This track is truly one of the best I've ever heard.
This might be one the most incredible songs ever written. One of the verses of the decade by El and Mike. Love the kind of LOTR reading a dusty scroll vibe of EL-Ps verse then Mike's supraluminal bars, screaming of the desperation and chaos of the unheard. My God. This was incredible.
Word, infiltrate and pervert their faith, and let them fight each other. A smart tactic for the few in the parasitic faith of the Joker and Fool. RTJ hits hard with truth.
They both killed this!! but Killer Mike's verse gave me goosebumps, everything he spits is straight from the soul!! whole album is perfect, this might be my fave RTJ!
Well El-P and Aes used to work together around the bazooka tooth days, (early to mid 2000's). Wouldn't be surprised in they influenced each other, Aes may have influenced EL-P''s writing and I definitely think that El influenced Aes's production which he started doing himself None Shall Pass which was the album after bazooka tooth
I don't know how the boys keep pulling off wicked collabs like this (and with ZDLR), but keep'em coming boys. They keep seasoning RTJ with a little bit of Rage and Queens, and I'm in sonic heaven, at least for a while.
Well said, and true. Most Americans would probably be clueless about what they are rapping about a few years ago, but today, today it is clear as crystal. F**k the parasites.
@@nealkelly9757 not better just different in my opinion. Fantastic damage and I'll sleep when you're dead are fucking masterpieces. Anything he touches turns to gold.
Mike's verse brings tears to my eyes. It's so hard to sit back and watch these evil fucks be at the pinnacle of our society while they literally get away with the worst crimes known to humanity.
They always pay. Might not seem like it from way down here, but they do. They're miserable, broken people. Their life is like a curse where nothing scratches any itch, and itch is all you do. Plus, they do this every single time, they get too bold and go too far too fast, znd suddenly you got a mob of people who are nolonger looking around to blame each other, they are all now staring up at you. They see you.

The devils, they do the despicable And still, they move like they invincible These filthy criminals, sit at the pinnacle Doin' the typical, keepin' us miserable Takin' the most and providin' the minimal Hate to sound cynical but shit is pitiful, times is just critical Like Jimmy Seville, they cheerfully kill kids in a ritual I'll murder the miserables, I'll make it all biblical I'll cut off their heads, they'll beg for their lives and I'll put it up, digital Fuck the political, the mission is spiritual Our murder is miracle, that was sent here to just punish through terror Static in my mind Like sanity on borrowed time Like right and wrong can't be defined There's a grenade in my heart And the pin is in their palm There's a grenade There's a grenade A grenade in my heart
It's that cold anger. People mistakenly think hot anger is more dangerous, and I suppose for a brief window that's true, but cold anger builds for years until you no longer care about anything except some measure of justice, no matter how it is had. You'll burn everything around you and throw anything into the flames, but you never lose control. I would be afraid of that if I were the one doing things that triggered it, but what do I know?
well done on one hell of a fucking album. their best work yet. truly sublime. they actually topped RTJ2. WE the people in June 2020 needed this in the worst way. thank you
Great, was about to post (which I never do) saying that this reminds me of a certain EL-P album. I see I am not original! Hope everyone is staying safe, respect to all making their voices heard x
From a long line of the rancidest swine came the violators The cloven foot designers of high crime for the iron ages Twisting down through time, see them tryna unwind creation Don't be surprised, it's a mistake to think their influence had faded. -I wonder who he is talking about here... Great lyrics, this is my favorite track on this album.
You only ask because you know. People... Are angry, scared, and with good cause. This isn't a sustainable version of our reality. What's the move? Fuck the political, this shit is spiritual.
*_Where the heart and mind connect,_* *_expect them targeting like archers_* *_You will not travel towards the light if_* *_they're in charge of your departure_* That is a damn good couplet. Show that one to the English profs.
There is a reason why the media focused so hard on making qanon look as ridiculous as possible when the underlying message of qanon is factual. There's a reason why Epstein and Maxwell's client list has never been revealed and why no one else is doing prison time.
Even when they "openly" discuss Saville, they don't tell you what he did. Yeah, he rsped children, we all know. That dude also ATE DEAD CHILDREN FROM THE MORGUE AND HAD DINNER PARTIES WITH OTHERS LIKE HIM WHERE THEY ATE DEAD CHILDREN FROM THE MORGUE.
![Run The Jewels - out of sight [ft. 2 Chainz] (Art Video)](/img/n.gif)
Greatest track on the album. Both Mike and EL went completely bonkers on this with their lyrics.
El-P's storytime rhyming scheme is god-like on this track
I can’t help but cry tears everytime. I love this track, it sums up our doom and also our impulse to rise from our own ashes. Pure power and beauty. I love you rtj!
Yes! I Agree completely.
Also, This track and the next track- "a few words for the firing squad (radiation) too. They are both so so good. Very powerful.
Plus, how they kind of bleed into each other and just flow. It's genius.
Facts.. Everything they do hits different than anyone else out.
Amen.
I never listened to this until just now and his verse on this might be one of his best
Damn. The ethereal vocals of Josh Homme behind the rawness of RTJ, then the soulfulness of Mavis Staples!? GOT DAMN! Chills. This is amazing.
I just kept muttering "wow wow wow" to myself at the end of my first listen.
did a double take when I saw Mavis on it. 🔥🔥🔥
He plays the guitar 🎸 in this song
@@marvelandmusicfan2395 he also does some haunting backing vocals as well, it's quite subtle but a fantastic addition tho
Listening to Run the Jewels is like entering the dawn of a new era.
More directly, the death of an old era.
Era Jewelgaris
@@Bigbrotherthunder YES
Exactly what we're on the cusp of, my friend
💚🌍💚🌎💚🌏
You walk into this room at your own risk, because it leads to the future, not a future that will be but one that might be. This is not a new world, it is simply an extension of what began in the old one
The beginning of El’s verse is truly entrancing.
You hit it right on the head! El-P is brilliant with his style!
Man I cried. And I'm not even shitting you. Truly entrancing also enchanted
Then killerMike fucking kills it too
You mean the entire album? You right tho
Yessss!!!
This has got to be the most insane beat ive EVER heard. Its a wonder of the world by itself.
Pretty good.
Josh Homme is a godly producer and guitarist
Clark Drake dude Queens of the Stone Age is one of my favorite bands of all time so when I saw his feature I lost my shit
You clearly havnt heard kanyes beats
This is pretty tame compared to something like Zach Hill's and Flatlander's production in Death Grips.
But it is still good though
queens of the stoneage!!!!!!
RTJ4
lets go!!!
KYUSSSSSSSS!!!!
El’s flow at the start is just chilling
Crazy how all my favorite artists connect at some point.
Wasn't expecting to see you here Mr. Homme. Never saw that coming. Makes me smile.
tell me about it neither did I
Probably the best RTJ song ever
This is the soundtrack for this moment
/movement
So true. criminals can be called leaders nowadays.
Rice,!
El P's verse here is... Prophetic. Its easily in my top 10 right now
El-P was always nasty, but it's so cool to see him get even better when he knows he's got Killa Mike as a follow-up on his beats. Sickest pair of the last decade at least.
Imagine them having met earlier and having them drop features on I'll Sleep When You're Dead and Rap Music respectively
@@UGotSerbed El is on Rap Music.
@@incognitosecret2377 Makes sense. Thank you for setting my facts straight, king
@@UGotSerbed El-Producto produced R.A.P. plus dropped the last verse on Butane.
Jesus... Mavis' part is just so full of emotions here her singing just breaks my heart while Josh weeps in the background all over this dense beat giving so much tension and unease only broken for a brief moment by a few jazz-y insets... This track is truly one of the best I've ever heard.
its amazing how el-p style never gets old. his production is always ahead of the time that he did it
How is the production ahead of it's time? Sounds like regular production that's good to me.
@@georginaK21 this may not sound futuristic now, but El-P has been making the sound of today since 1996. that dude is a legend
he's reinventing himself every project it's crazy
This might be one the most incredible songs ever written. One of the verses of the decade by El and Mike.
Love the kind of LOTR reading a dusty scroll vibe of EL-Ps verse then Mike's supraluminal bars, screaming of the desperation and chaos of the unheard. My God. This was incredible.
Holy fuck!
Great observation 👍🏾
"You numb yourself for years, and it can wear upon you honestly."
😔
👉🤛
Real 'I'll Sleep When You're Dead' memories here
We're friends now. Best friends.
Def
Bro yessss I was thinking the same
I still can't stop listening to that album.
That was always my favorite el p album.
“You will not travel towards the light if they are in charge of your departure”
Word, infiltrate and pervert their faith, and let them fight each other. A smart tactic for the few in the parasitic faith of the Joker and Fool. RTJ hits hard with truth.
They both killed this!! but Killer Mike's verse gave me goosebumps, everything he spits is straight from the soul!! whole album is perfect, this might be my fave RTJ!
It reminds me of 'shroud' by Tech N9ne.
They should collaborate.
THIS IS OLD SCHOOL EL-P!! THIS IS I'LL SLEEP WHEN YOU'RE DEAD STATUS!
Blessed 🙏
I hope he’s still this good on RTJ5
Old school ain't 21st century man
Huh If not, 4 outta 5 ain’t bad
Naheem Quattlebaum
ISWYD is old-school EL-p.LoL
Goddamn I'm old.
I am getting major Aesop Rock vibes from the first part. great stuff.
El's older work!
Nah, man. This sounds like 2007 El-P shit. Sleep When You're Dead style.
El-P is the guy who the guy that you think that he got his style from got his own style from
Well El-P and Aes used to work together around the bazooka tooth days, (early to mid 2000's). Wouldn't be surprised in they influenced each other, Aes may have influenced EL-P''s writing and I definitely think that El influenced Aes's production which he started doing himself None Shall Pass which was the album after bazooka tooth
Josh Homme, noice, 👉👊
I excpected him to sing but I guess he played the guitar
@@sampo3101 You can hear him crooning those creepy backing vocals.
@@sampo3101 the background "aaahs" were him
I don't know how the boys keep pulling off wicked collabs like this (and with ZDLR), but keep'em coming boys. They keep seasoning RTJ with a little bit of Rage and Queens, and I'm in sonic heaven, at least for a while.
Definitely more of a musical collab than a straight up vocal one, respect.
This may just be one of el’s best verses ever
I expected Josh Homme to drop some bars but hey this is cool too
Ill settle for guitar and backing AAAAHS anyday. Im just happy to know Mavis is still bein a badass! (Memphis represent)
@@Eddyj0314 them backing AAAAHS give me chills everytime
Hahaha
Lol
Who's Peste Noire
Bro these guys words have lessons to teach which can reach into the years to fully understand.
Well said, and true. Most Americans would probably be clueless about what they are rapping about a few years ago, but today, today it is clear as crystal. F**k the parasites.
Not even through with the album and its already become a favorite. This one was probably one of the best on there.
When Mavis came in, I got FLOORED.
This beautiful song puts me into a trance...So much greatness in one tune.
Mavis pulled my heart out a showed it to me. Not sure who wrote her parts but it feels personal and man does make it feel real. The song is surgical
El-P is our generations Mozart, and Mike is MLK from the street. This group is so grossly underrated!
Check out El-P's stuff from like 20 years ago, way better imo
@@nealkelly9757 not better just different in my opinion. Fantastic damage and I'll sleep when you're dead are fucking masterpieces. Anything he touches turns to gold.
I think calling them Mozart and MLK is a bit overrated but i like your way of thinking
Rocky Haggard Buckethead
Mozart 🤣 😆🤣don’t think so bro. He is good, but he’s not Mozart.
THIS is why I love hip hop.
Is This still hip hop? or more?
This is the hiphop that I like. it opens my mind.
"I'll sleep when you're dead" vibes on RTJ4! This is epic!!! 👉 🤛 💖
It's like we're listening on artists creation who's stayed in studio for a very long time. Thank you RTJ for this masterpiece.
Mavis starts singing, I star crying. Every time!
Who’s this Josh Home guy? *proceeds to be a big fan of queens of the Stone Age*
This is the kind of song that I like with lyrics that opens our minds. Fk i think I love this group alrdy.
Welcome to the family, come on in...but first..we gonna need you to run them jewels 👉🤛 lol

Lyrics for the spiritual:
Yeah
Yeah, that cash
Yeah, take it, here
From a long line of the rancidest swine came the violators
The cloven foot designers of high crime for the iron ages
Twisting down through time, see them tryna unwind creation
Don't be surprised, it's a mistake to think their influence had faded
Well, what a wretched state of danger we've made here
I thought to me, "Perhaps explaining years of self lobotomy, toxicly
Perhaps explaining tears and even tears in my cosmology"
You numb yourself for years and it can wear upon you, honestly
These old foxes got a lotta plots to out fox us (Ayy)
Tryna divvy up and dump in corresponding boxes, how obnoxious
Where the heart and mind connect, expect them targeting like archers
You will not travel towards the light if they're in charge of your departure
You'd think the universe forgot us the way the cursed pitch their product (Woo)
As though our spirits not a fire that can't be snuffed or turned to dollars
Or the expanse across all space, can't be contained in one small dollop
Now I see that its the same moment in history back to haunt us
And here we are again
Hello void, long time watcher, first time callin' in
Every cage built needs an occupant
Got a dead bolt, see 'em lock it in
Had a good run but they stoppin' it
Wanna Walkman in the coffin lid
Eat your heart out, fiction fan
Truly the truth's the stranger document
And at best I'm just getting it wrong
And at worst I've been right from the start
It hurts, I'm bein' torn apart
Theres a grenade in my heart
And the pin is in their palm
There's a grenade
There's a grenade
A grenade in my heart
At best I feel difficult, poor and you pitiful
Then everyday's like a satanic ritual
Beautiful soul with the rogue and the criminal
How long must the Holy hold onto they principles?
Kickin' and screamin' while watchin' the demons
Collecting the gold and the diamond residuals
My pastor say, "God has promised us paradise, live a good life it is pivotal"
I promised my mama that I would stay honest
But I want it all in the physical
And promise I'm honest, I'll probably be punished
'Cause keeping that promise too difficult
So picture me red as I sit on the bed
With my hands on my head and this pistol too
Why the fuck must I be miserable?
The devils, they do the despicable
And still, they move like they invincible
These filthy criminals, sit at the pinnacle
Doin' the typical, keepin' us miserable
Takin' the most and providin' the minimal
Hate to sound cynical but shit is pitiful, times is just critical
Like Jimmy Seville, they cheerfully kill kids in a ritual
I'll murder the miserables, I'll make it all biblical
I'll cut off their heads, they'll beg for their lives and I'll put it up, digital
Fuck the political, the mission is spiritual
Our murder is miracle, that was sent here to just punish through terror
Static in my mind
Like sanity on borrowed time
Like right and wrong can't be defined
There's a grenade in my heart
And the pin is in their palm
There's a grenade
There's a grenade
A grenade in my heart
thank you
Beautiful
❤
thank you. these lyrics are beautiful.
Thank you!
This album is absolutely next level 🔥🔥
And the crowd goes

Saw your symbol in a post from Josh, and shouted "he's worked with Run the Jewels!" Absolutely love it.
If you're not having goosebumps while listening to this album, you're doing it wrong.
RTJ 4ever.
👉🤛♥️✊
Literally, as I read your comment. =]
One of the best rap trax ever made . Need to hear it on a big system.
I had to wait a month to fully absorb how important this tune is.....massive respect to every one
This shit is serious
RTJ + Josh Homme sounds like a wet dream...
I simply love this track.
This song gave me chills !!!
Love the Soul of this
My favorite track on the album
My daughter sent me this link, I tried to wake her up to this for years, Thank You, tracks Bangin', btw
Not a track to skip on this LP.
That said everything about this song is pitch perfect.
Looking forward to the wax so much.
See u JOSH! yesssirrrr
well done on one hell of a fucking album. their best work yet. truly sublime. they actually topped RTJ2. WE the people in June 2020 needed this in the worst way. thank you
This song is criminally underrated... jfc...
If anyone can’t tell joshs guitar parts you gotta go listen again
this is an unusual overlap of my musical tastes and it's very, very good
RTJ has the sickest beats in the game right now. Killer Mike flow better than most everyone in the game today.
Just when you think you've heard everything, RTJ proves you wrong.
These lyrics, so much truth.
@2:16 that note right there it resonates with me so nicely, This song sounds like what it feels like to do 90 on Ocean Parkway lol
Every cage built needs an occupant. 👀
As someone from Scotland who saw all of the Savile filth unravel, it felt damn good to hear the bastard put on blast here.
the world needs RTJ now more then ever
My favorite song of 2020 so far.
Honestly, wow! Elp really has his own sound. Fantastic stuff
This sounds so solo-EL-P to me and i love it. Best new music in 20years.
Mavis is the best, her voice soothes the soul!☺
QOTSA + RTJ= PURE POWER ❤
Caught Mavis at the Greek in Berkeley opening for Bob Dylan. Can't think of better company for RTJ to roll with 🤘🙏
Great, was about to post (which I never do) saying that this reminds me of a certain EL-P album.
I see I am not original!
Hope everyone is staying safe, respect to all making their voices heard x
El-P can do no wrong with the flow! Genius flow and content is Run The Jewels.
A new level. Had to listen to them four times.😊
Hard hard hard!!
Congrats to RTJ on 4, finally have my soundtrack for 2020
Now I listen to it permanently, I just fell in love with it!
This beat. Classic EL-Producto banger.
that retro melody .. good to go
Wow EL-P's verse gives me shivers.
This is AMAZING!!!!
Best discovery
They got gospel and soul legend Mavis Staples on the track!!!
Damn...Mike's verse gives me chills. It's so brutal and direct. Great fuckin song!
