El and Mike are so good at that unsuspecting lyrical slap to the face.

[@bradendude1414]

After I heard this song the first time, I added it to my "driving to work" playlist, just to get me in the right headspace. Great song and reaction as always!

[@Whitesquall123]

Looool This song (just the beat) was used in a famous car commercial. I knew the song before the commercial came out, so when I first saw this commercial with my mom and she liked the beat and asked me for the name of it, I almost died laughing knowing the opening lyrics.

[@SighDontWantAHandle]

The production quality on this video is incredible. They filmed in the Ukraine and hired award winning actors and a movie film crew. Full Hollywood quality film production.

[@DJSquish76]

Absolutely correct in all aspects. Love the song, video. Everything

[@MonkeyBoyEJ]

This song got me into run the jewels i was thrown into it like u said with no context and enjoyed it thoroughly

[@uzi978]

Same here... thought it was the greatest video ever when I saw it.. and have been a huge RTJ fan ever since.

[@mcqueen0195]

I heard it at the end of an episode of Silicon Valley, had to find it immediately. Went ALLL the way down the rabbit hole and have never come out.

[@SparkimusPrime]

Also, can someone explain to me why they aren’t talked about more? Ever. I have never understood why they aren’t included in more hip hop conversations.

[@HardtoHandleThisFella]

Because they're a threat to the surounding vulture's competition

[@peacemaker00]

Unfortunately, I think, they are too real for people, too many people have been indoctrinated into avoiding topics that make them uncomfortable.

[@HardtoHandleThisFella]

@@peacemaker00 very fair point

[@SparkimusPrime]

@@peacemaker00 Then why the f**k is Tom MacDonald so popular? Because RTJ beats him in every category, and he’s just as political.

[@peacemaker00]

@@SparkimusPrime touche, I'm not a fan of him so didn't even think about him.

[@daveclaytonjr.5244]

I STILL find myself listening to RTJ regularly (RTJ is a practically perfect album). Even if you don't react to all of their music here, you'll be doing yourself a favor by going through all of their work - one of the best to ever do it!

[@dawatcherz]

i love how they also released instrumental versions of their albums... i made a playlist that first plays the instrumental and then the regular version of all their tracks on their albums, so it feels like all their songs have a super long intro 😃

[@vorpalrobot]

@@dawatcherz The cat themed remix was actually almost better than the original album

[@dawatcherz]

@@vorpalrobot true, meow the jewels is kewl

[@leoveach6902]

It might've been said already but the video(As I understand it) is essentially a commentary on the state of politics in America. Both parties get into ridiculously dramatic conversations but it's the workers/working class of America who have to clean it up or deal with it in the end all the while watching the dramatics with a strong sense of disapproval

[@sk8mysterion]

What i also love about run the jewels are the "modern" hip hop beats, they are so sweet and show that it's still possible to develop and stay dope without getting wack over time 😅✌️

[@thetalantonx]

As for the video's meaning, it can't be divorced from the time: Aug 24, 2016. It's about the lies and underlying truth of politics, and how sickening it is when politics devolves to barbarism. Killer Mike said, likening the visual to our current presidential election, “It’s such a dope video. It’s what I really wish Trump and Hillary would just do and get it over with … And even in that fight I think Hillary would win - and that’s not an endorsement.”

[@Courier_Seven]

Clinton ONLY wins a physical fight with trump if she's able to hire her usual hitmen instead of fighting.i You'd have to be legitimately crazy to think that withered corpse could damage anyone physically with her hands OR that she wouldn't be outright killed from a single, well placed face shot.

[@ms-xh1gx]

hillary would win? no chance 🤣

[@SparkimusPrime]

I love RTJ 🔥🔥🔥 This video is one of my favorites 🖤

[@OldManSpawn]

six days from DJ Shadow is amazing

[@kennyshoulders1284]

The next videos from then you need to checkout are out of sight and oh la la they are amazing as usual.

[@jasonbintz6681]

Amazing video from DJ Shadow. Love his style, and then to add Run The Jewels with such a kicking baseline just "Chef's Kiss". I mean Run the Jewels isn't my style, but the blending is just awesome.

[@MatManExtreme]

Amazing track .I saw Dj Shadow 2 weeks ago in Vancouver. Amazing show and the sound was incredible. This track deserves praise. Thanks for checking in out and spreading the word.

[@deejayturtle]

This is a great song. DJ Shadow and Killer Mike are LEGENDS. Can't wait to see your reaction to this. (had to come back and add this... That Trump line right? LMAO!)

@@paulmcguigan7417 I actually don’t know if I know anything from them?

[@DavidGowers]

This was my first RTJ and I fucking love it, such a hype fucken song. I've always taken the video as a commentary on how most politics - especially on the world stage, and even more especially from America, UK, China, and Russia - is little more than posturing and bigging themselves up, and the inescapable result will always be just a brutal free for all. And the dude grabbing the USA flag and waving it around to keep everyone away, then almost using it to brutally end the other guy, is so much how most of the world views America over these last few decades particularly, with it becoming more and more obvious to the rest of the world how involved America has been in so many wars.

[@thelightwielder]

The people with power make a mess of everything while the regular people have to clean up the mess.

[@AndICanTalk2]

Love this song and video. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@LadyBernkastel92]

I love this one, a lot of songs RTJ do have a burning sort of anger to them but it frequently feels restrained a bit? And this is just them full on letting lose. Also love the touch of El-P and Killer Mike being in the video, reacting to their own bars with disgusted looks.

[@kf8346]

I think he is so caught up in fighting that the only thing that can finally stop him in his tracks is realizing that somebody else has to clean up his mess.

[@DaleModisette]

I have this song in a playlist for when I played Eve online.

[@meganconnell-cox6425]

i love watching people listen to cool-a22 music for the first time. especially cool videos, like this one. I heard this when i was watching a show about two years ago, ShutEye was the name of the show...this song was the closing credit tune to one of the last episodes, and I had to look it up to see who did it. Loved it, still blast it in my car, sounds great with the bass turned all the way up!

[@here4thecookies676]

Yes! Yes! Yes! More RTJ and more DJ Shadow!

[@nicquinn7291]

I was on about 5 grams of shrooms the first time I saw this, and “close your eyes and count to fuck” they’ve been 2 of my favorites since that day.

[@davidsykes6584]

First time I saw this video, I had to rewatch it like five times, the visuals are just great. As for further RTJ videos you really should check out Ooh-La-La ft Greg Nice & DJ Premier, Out of Sight ft. 2 Chainz, and Close Your Eyes (And Count to Fk) ft Zack de la Rocha (from RATM) all are great to watch.

[@uzi978]

I thought he had done Close Your Eyes since he was kinda describing it when he talked about previous RTJ videos he's seen.. but yeah, he NEEDS to do that one!! RTJ + Zack is such an awesome combination. Was great seeing them do it live together before RATM cancelled their tour.

[@Sam-gi6up]

No Save Point by Yankee and the Brave (Run the Jewels) - Beautiful video, great song.

YES MORE RTJ

[@JTByrd386]

This song was the first time I'd ever hear RTJ: Ozarks S1E3 end credits. Immediately got me into the rest of their set. This song is just rock-solid trash talk. "I will fall off in your crib, take a sh!t," is the most disrespectful line I have ever heard.

[@leanmachine]

RTJ baby!!

[@comadose25]

Ooooooooooooooh LA LA (ah oui oui)

[@barrywelling3868]

I think RTJ videos are the visual equivalent of Aesop Rock's lyrics. Dense, but with significant thought put into them, and generally worth unpacking

[@PeterYurkins]

love this video! thanks for the react! RTJ

[@patrickn8355]

Shit is still so fucking epic 😂

[@jessielovesyou5398]

Omg dear sir, your face when they started...

[@siddharthabalodi8809]

'Leaders say and do some absolute baffling and utterly stupid shit, everyone else is afraid to say or do something against them cause of the fear of "getting choked". Even when they decide to take action, they still choose sides instead of stopping them. The lady in the last scene represents us, the common people. When things go south due to leader's bad decisions and actions, it's always the common people who suffer.' Just my observation. RTJ has the ability to subtly showcase these kind of serious topics with a comedic perspective but nonetheless they are deep.

[@nsali30]

im a year late in seeing this reaction, but dude, this shit was great, im subbing for this video

[@DocRobert]

This song is fucking dope.

[@TheDane_BurnAllCopies]

Well, I am from Denmark, and back in the late 1990’s an American ok basketball player playing in Denmark visit the radio stadiostation I was a DJ at. He was in chock on what we could say on air😂, anywho I get why some might say it’s nasty.😊

[@The66Malibu]

RTJ is so underrated

[@jordancrain9923]

the best shock value music around comes from run the jewles

[@Hambie76]

You are right, the symbolism is on point with the superpowers wrestling while the other people are like, "Dude, what the fuck?!" Because they are just trying to get by and do their thing.

[@Ryan-ff2db]

DJ Shadow is a freakin genius. Check out UNKLE particularly "When things Explode" or "Burn My Shadow".

[@ritab5153]

My daughter made CD's for me years ago and this was on a list . She called me and asked if i knew all of the words LMAO

[@sukimarmelaide4030]

Dear Mr. L. Boyd, Sir, I, too, adore RTJ. If you have not already listened to and viewed the video for countdown to f*ck, please do yourself the favor; but even more than that, if you only ever listen to a single song by them in your entire lifetime, please let it be message to the firing squad. This is one of the best songs that hip-hop and any other genre may have to offer. It is an exceptional listening experience. Good day, muchlove, suki

[@nicolaiboensch6643]

Check out Blockbuster Night pt 1 by RTJ. That video is crazy.

[@indyrevoly3060]

the symbolism isn't particularly layered. politicians trash the place, and then it's on the ordinary citizen (the maid in this case) to pick up the pieces.

[@MrRevCytosis]

Theres a few good youtube videos on here where like, they answer some questions about the song backstage on fallon? I forget but it was with DJ shadow and the boys and basicially the whole "Picture this I'm a bag of dicks" was kinda just what set the tone for the track and they were like "k we're gonna be goofy with it sorry Shadow" and El-P and Shadow apparently had some hilarious disagreements on the horns which completely make the track imo. And then theres like a making of the video...video...somewhere around here where the producer and director of the video kinda just said "yo what if like...a political board meeting was just hiphop beef" and did his own thing. RTJ from what I understand just wanted to have some fun with it.

[@MrRevCytosis]

but for the most part, not really ment to be deep, kinda just a light hearted fun "man fuck 2016"

[@tristanlovescomics]

I highly recommend reacting to Stan Walker's ultralight beam cover he did with the levites. Trust me, good sir.

[@lkjh861]

The way I read it is, that RTJ are saying that the suits up top "ruling the world" are no better than two rappers battling it out ~ it's basically just two people power-stancing and throwing sh*t at each other, letting their tempers (the over-the-top lyrics) get the better of them... and once the dust settles ~ guess who has to clear up their mess? All the rest of us regular Joes and Janes (the cleaning lady)... 👉🤛😎

Those two guys are fighting over bullshit, until the maintenance lady walks in. She's got more pressing matters to attend to, she doesn't have the time to throw hands over pointless insults, which instantly makes her the adult in the room. I am guessing that's why they stop, they realize how silly they are being.

[@theotherdogknees]
