    A Message From Run The Jewels

    To Our Jewel Runners Worldwide,

    Last year we gave you Run The Jewels and in exchange we asked for an email. Since then we haven’t been in touch unless you’ve seen us at a show, talked to us on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram, bumped in to us at a bar, sold us weed, etc etc. Truth be told our intention was to mercilessly sell your email information to literally anyone who would pay in a desperate attempt to raise enough money to buy 2 giant 36", 14 K yellow-gold dookie rope chains or 4 bit coins. While we still yearn for those, we (regrettably) forgot to do the whole “betraying your privacy” thing, mostly due to the amount of marijuana we smoke on a daily basis. In fact, we completely forgot we even had these emails until yesterday. Shit happens.

    We are writing you today to thank you, and to tell you that you are the first people in the world we are inviting to check out our exclusive preorder packages for the new record we made called “RUN THE JEWELS 2” (or #RTJ2). First to the thank you part:

    HOLY FUCKING SHIT THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING RUN THE JEWELS A SUCCESS. We are humbled that you have supported us and our music. All of you. Those who bought it, those who got it for free and came to a show… all of you. Truly. You turned a free record with little to no promotion in to something bigger than we ever expected. The shows have been amazing, the interactions with all of our supporters just as great. It's because of this that we can honestly promise to keep giving you that raw shit as long as we can. Thank you thank you thank you.

    As you may know, #RTJ2 is dropping October 27th. We are very excited about this. Once again we are giving you this record FOR FREE. We want anyone who wants it to have it, especially those who don’t feel like they can afford to spend cash on that type of thing or maybe even aren’t sure we are worthy of it. Take it, test it out. Enjoy.

    For those of you who DO want to pay for it we have many glorious options for you which we will list below. Many of these are limited and you are getting the first crack at copping them. We think you’ll be as pleased with what we are presenting as we are.

    Again, thank you for everything. We can’t wait to give you this music and play it for you at our shows.

    No bullshit,
    Jaime and Mike

    There's already a Kickstarter campaign to raise the $40,000 for Meow The Jewels. El-P said if it gets the money he'll donate it to charity AND remake the album with cat noises.

    If I had $1000 lying around, I'd get my cat in on the action. Who else in the world would be able to say their CAT was a guest artist on an El-P production.

    "Oh My Darling Don't Cry" is completely and utterly ridiculous. Easily one of my favourite things I've heard this year. If RTJ2 is like this front to back I don't think I could handle it.

    I need to listen to it more to let it sink in but, so far this album has surpassed my expectations and its been able to live up to the first album. I just wish there was more to listen to, I guess that is where meow the jewels will come in.

    Any idea if there will be instrumentals this time around without buying the vinyls?

    No idea, I thought they offered instrumentals on their WAV download page but it seems like this isn't the case. Maybe they will be eventually released in a European CD just like RTJ1's.

    I may be biased, but RTJ2 is one of the best albums I've heard all year.

    [begins hyperventilating]

    RTJ and Massive Attack in the studio. Together.

    Also, obligatory statement about Meow The Jewels being equally exciting.

    Edit: Speaking of which! From RTJ's latest e-mail update -

    MEOW THE JEWELS UPDATE

    We just had the Meow The Jewels Lottery Draft where our producer friends (Just Blaze, Geoff Barrow, Prince Paul, Dan The Automater, Nick Hook, Zola Jesus, Skywalker, Gaslamp Killer, El-P, Massive Attack and more) battled it out for what song they had to remix with cat sounds. More updates coming really soon.

    didn't see a Run the Jewels thread (sorry if I missed it) but saw that fiasco at SXSW where some guy ran the stage and tried to punch El-P? The news articles covering this are running with vague details. I was curious what happened.

    The only video I saw has most of the fight happening off stage. Running on the stage in a hostile way at all is no longer anywhere near ok after Dimebag. These festival stages need to up their security...

    the CoS article seems to imply the guy was trying to punch Killer Mike? It seems pretty clear that Killer Mike is trying to push the guy back while he goes after El-P? Maybe CoS doesn't know which one's El-P

    Hey guys, I was there, watching in the food truck food court behind the Spotify House, which was far less exclusive and had a perfect view of the stage, haha.

    So, the guy hopped on stage, went after El-P first, grabbing his shirt, and then Killer Mike tried to pull him off and then he came at Mike trying to take swing at him. Mike shoved him off stage, and according to a few people around me who jump up on the fence to look over, Mike's crew stomped the dude, whith one guy commenting, "holy shit, that's guy's head is leaking!"

    The rapping only stopped for about 90 seconds and music for like 30 seconds before they recovered. Killer Mike was understandably furious and was yelling out, "your mama should be ashamed of you! fuck boy! fuck boy!" and then got the whole audience to chant "fuck boy" before labeling him a "bitch nigga." Then they continued the show. El-P apologized for brief interruption saying, "I have no idea what the hell that was," and Mike responded, "yeah we do, it was a fuck boy." El-P laughed and said "Oh, I guess we do." And then they launched into "Close Your Eyes" and it was awesome.

    Mike at some point after that took some pills, joked that he wanted something stronger than ibuprofen and told everyone to pray that his shoulder didn't fuck up again and force him to pack it in early.

    It was a weird incident, but the show was fantastic. And yes, with only a easily scalable fence, security wasn't exactly top notch.

    Finally music outlets are reporting on it. I know looking at the comments section of any website is toxic, but geez, the comments on this story are just mean: http://www.brooklynvegan.com/archive...jewels_12.html
