I've pre-ordered the CD (for the car) and T-Shirt which isn't out until September sadly. Be a nice surprise when it drops through the door though.How much did people pay ?
Music Run The Jewels | RTJ4 out now - released early
- Thread starter Dante
- Start date
If you’re only listening to that track may I recommend adding the one before it on the album too; Walking In The Snow.
Poignant and an absolute banger.
£9.99 p/m for Apple MusicHow much did people pay ?
I’m working my way through the album actually. Which is taking longer than I’d like because the kids keep telling me to turn it off because of all the swearing!
You need cooler kids, man.
There is a non sweary version.
No way. Really? On Spotify?
Really enjoyed it on first listen. Great Gang of Four sample on The Ground Below.
yeah look up "instrumental only".
One of my good mates has a 12 y/o son and he follows all our group of friends on Insta, when I put the album on my stories he sent me a message asking what it was so he could download it. I was like “erm speak to your dad k byeeee”
is 12 that bad? I was listening to Dre and Eminem when I was 12

although pretty sure I never played them loud enough for my parents to hear!Must be. I'm on Amazon and can see RTJ4 [Clean] and [Explicit]. I only found this out because Alexa started playing the clean version last night to wind me up.
Probably not but I’m not being the answer to the question “where did you hear about this” from his old man!is 12 that bad? I was listening to Dre and Eminem when I was 12
Same honestly, I was supposed to be seeing them for the first time in Paris this summer (along with Run The Jewels) until Covid. Closest I've seen so far is Prophets of Rage, which obviously didn't feature Zach.
Yeah same, I think someone sent me the video that song as I had to investigate more. It's so rare to see him in anything since Rage that it's a guaranteed listen from me. Tbf I came to like RTJ in their own right as well, and I'm really enjoying this album overall. Was excited to see them too, damn virus!

Speaking of Zach and RTJ, why did the Zach solo album never surface? Allegedly it's finished, and produced entirely by El-P. There was a single from it a few years ago which was pretty great, and then nothing.
I wish Zach was more active generally.

Meh. Might just be that I need to listen to it when I'm more in the mood to but didn't think it was on the same level as their previous stuff.
Rapping and lyrics are still on point but the actual tracks are all a bit samey and forgettable, bar a couple of decent ones. Might grow on me though.

Anyone agree with what he’s done over the last decade Mike’s got a shout for one of the greatest?
There was one with EL-P? I know about one he did with Trent Reznor
It's a bit strange because Trent Reznor said the tracks were excellent but maybe Zach is a perfectionist. I'm still wondering they'll ever come to light. I imagine Trent has them on a hard drive somewhere but won't release them without the ok from Zach.
One Day as a Lion was also good but that stopped after just a single LP.
Yep. I made a case for him being the best rapper in the world back in June 2017. He's definitely in the debate for the greatest, imo.
He is a little like Pharoahe Monch for me. Lyrics, technuiqe, flow, wordplay, voice and subject is all amazing, but there is something (maybe mainstream appeal) that going to keep them from getting that level of recognition as the greatest. Not sure they want it anyway to be honest.
Amongst their peers i am sure they are both reconized as some of the best who ever done it.
I had forgotten about the record he did with Trent Reznor. I hope one day that sees the light of day.
All that seems to exist about the record with El-P is on his wiki page:
The track that was released was good, it's a shame we didn't get to hear any more.
One Day as a Lion was a great project too, there just wasn't enough of it. The world needs more Zach.
That's the thing, it seems like the only one preventing more Zach is Zach. He's a very private person so it's hard to tell what the reason behind him not releasing music is.
This great. ZDLR rapping over RTJ.
I like the new album but it's not my favourite. I'm finding I pretty much skip some tracks and go straight to the Goonies, WITS, JU$T stretch.
Yeah same. I'll take in Ooh La La on the way though. The opening track is the weakest off any of the 4 albums imo. Doesn't grab you like 'Jeopardy' or 'Run the Jewels'.
Yeah that one gets a few listens from me but grown tired of it a bit. The last 4 tracks on the album are extremely forgettable really and the hooks on never look back and the ground below are a bit pants. Then again hooks have probably always been their weakness. Just seems to lack standout verses like RTJ2 was packed with.
CD and T-Shirt just dropped through the letterbox. Forgot I'd ordered it tbh so was a nice surprise.
Looking back I didn't really like this album. Haven't gone back to it which is a shame.
Haven't listened to it for a while either but it might get a second wind now I can smash it in the car.
Funnily enough I went back to it a week or so back and really enjoyed it. Definitely below 1 & 2, but better than 3 iirc.
Full performance of RTJ4 intended to encourage people to get out and vote in the US election.
It's the closest I'm getting to live music for the foreseeable future, so I'm gonna enjoy it.
Just released the official video for the best track on RTJ4
Seeing them next year.
Whoooooooo!
Whoooooooo!
Ooh La La remix with Lil Wayne, Greg Nice, and DJ Premier. Love it!
