It's funny because this is the 2nd or 3rd RTJ reaction I've seen where someone didn't know who El-P even was. The dude is an absolute underground legend and equally vicious as a producer and a rapper.
@@freekeemonkee Ill sleep when your dead was the official arrival as a living legend. hes never let me down. always captures the essence of whats going on and offers a great take. he gets weird too. from his early group company flow to his running a label. he is an absolute legend in the game.
to be fair, him being a producer and musician first and foremost makes it even more impressive that he can 'hold his own' compared to mike. IDk, don't try your hardest to take everything as negatively as possible. Read the context :D
Umm guys... quotation marks mean I'm quoting someone. The dude in the video said El-P "held his own". The dude doesn't know how long El-P has been in the game, let alone how much of the track he makes himself. His beats alone do a lot for the songs. This is not putting down Killer Mike. Dude is a beast in his own sense. I wasn't dissing El-P. I was commenting on the creator of the video saying something like that. Maybe understand what a quote is or at least watch the video. If you had watched, you literally hear those words come out his mouth.
Damn right, my favorite producer of all time and getting better at rapping every album since he linked up with mike. Not even saying he was bad at rapping before rtj it’s just since he’s come into his own with the rapping
They are incredible live. Discovered them by accident at a festival after they released their first album. Was walking to enough set and they were going to hard ended up staying and catching almost the entire set. If they come to your town go trust me
This duo has put out 4 highly praised masterpieces! El-P and Mike have such a good chemistry and not to mention El-P is an amazing producer! I highly recommend listening to all 4 Run the Jewels album cleverly titled Run the Jewels 1,2,3 and 4. Banger after banger. Truly an amazing duo!
I thought the same thing, at the same time. I was playing gears of war 4 when this video came out. Thinking about how run the jewels were finally about to get the recognition they deserved. Even after appearing on Cyberpunk 2077's radio more than twice, there has been no increase in exposure. I have met one stranger in real life that knows who they are. We need to do our due diligence to bring them to the light. People with a platform need to remember where their ideas come from. These 1970s to 1990s kids are our teachers whether you like it or not.
I HAVE BEEN WANTING THIS REACTION FOR YEARS BRO ME AND MY BROTHER USED TO BUMP THIS SONG EVERYWHERE HE HAD KILLER MIKES VERSES I HAD EL P, BROO WE PUT ON A SHOW FOR OUR HOMIES😂
I was like that too when I was new to RTJ, Mikes voice and delivery shine brighter to newer fans but once you listen a bit more you will love El-P just as much.
Amazed you have never heard of el-producto from company flow. One of the sickest producers out there and his rhymes are dope. A vast library that will blow your mind
If you thought that was anthem for 2020, you haven't heard the rest of the album. Check it out. Holy calamafuck, walking in the snow, Ju$t, and a few words for the firing squad. RTJ 1 2 3 & 4.
El-P produces everything for run the jewels I believe. Amazing rapper and producer. From ‘company flow’ who are one of my favourite groups from the 90s.
My G, thank you so much for reviewing a song that helped get me thru tough times yet also makes you feel like you could take on the whole world. You know how it is!!
Dude, this guy just says what he thinks about shit with some cool background lighting and he has nearly 2 mil subs and hundreds of thousands of views on each video. I fucking love it.
White dude is El-P, originally of Company Flow. One of the greatest pioneers of the indy movement of the mid/late 90s. I was in on ground floor for Funcrusher Plus, but he started losing me not long after that. Cult following intact, though. Indy legend.
Intro to them was through my love of Rage Against the Machine. "Close Your Eyes (and Count to F" plus it has a pretty appropriate music vid for the times
RTJ are the TRUTH dawg, you should do more of their stuff. Killer Mike is obviously a beast, lesser known that El-P is too, they both kill it, they some of the few real ones still out there right now
SOMEONE ACTTUALLY FINALLY REACTED TO THESE GUYS?!? Like of like the bigger reactors, damn. Been waiting for it for so long I couldnt believe at least artofkickz hadn't done it yet. I just don't get it cause these reaction channels are mostly made up of the more underground/RUclips rappers is what's made them so big with the occasional mainstream rapper. These guys are like the top of the top for underground rap and even sorta mainstream now and have killed it on RUclips forever and their beats and production are just craaazy. Love the dynamic of their voices together and just the shit they speak about not being afraid to test the waters. Well needed for a long time now man
Other dude is EL-P he's been around since the early 90's his first group was the legendary Company Flow him big jus and dj Mr len you should do a reaction to last good sleep that'll give you a great idea of who he is.
Your slow expression change at 1:54 is exactly what I feel every time listening to this song. The beat, the rhythm of the lyrics, everything about it is just so....dirty. I love it.
The other dude is El-P, hes so sick. Definitely check out what else Run The Jewels got. I know their second album is 100% 🔥 One song that you should definitely check out is Nobody Speak - DJ Shadow ft. Run The Jewels. You wont find it in their catalogue, so i figured id recommend it for you.
Love rtj, first time i heard them i was in some college town in the sticks scanning for radio stations the college station had it on song was dont cry my darling been a fan ever since
Imagine trying to be a rapper but not hear of run the jewels or not check out anything at all ... Like that's supposed to be part of your passion and craft. Run the jewels isn't underrated at all, they have a pretty big presence since their first album together. I just don't buy it that you haven't seen this before
Yo LayedBak, I have a few songs for you to react to: Go by TheKidLaroi featuring Juice Wrld, Value by Asap Ferg and Dreams and Nightmares by Meek Mill.
the other dude is El-P ( Jaime ) he is one of the most notorious underground hip hop producers, he writes all the beats for RTJ as well as he rhymes, you should do reaction to el-p - stay down. its a dope track.
The other dude is El-P. Aka El Producto he had a solo career and is from New York. He was there when it hip hop was starting. He’s produces all their beats.

Producer hes in a league of his own, killer mike is a better rapper tho even tho el p gets better every album
Speak on that shit my guy
Agreed one cant truly call themselves hip hop until theyve heard funcrusher plus.
"El-p held his own" 😂😂 the disrespect, dude is the one who made the beats
We’re all here to learn. Sometimes we learn when we need.

It's so weird hearing Legend Has It and not hearing Call Ticketron right after.
True
Hahaha. Love that track. I was tripping when I first heard it, and fell absolutely in love with it.
Li li li-li live from the garden
Exactly!
@Aleks Voorhees daananananananan (descending) danananananana (descending)
El-P is an insane artist, you need to check out his stuff
Liam 247 yessss. Company Flow “Patriot”. Someone has to react to this track.
Anyone know his intro song
Or check his feature on The Last Huzzah
Company Flow
Damn right, my favorite producer of all time and getting better at rapping every album since he linked up with mike. Not even saying he was bad at rapping before rtj it’s just since he’s come into his own with the rapping
RTJ!! El-P is the other dude. He produces all of the RTJ beats. You gotta check out Blockbuster Night Pt 1 & Ddfh. Keep it up!
They are incredible live. Discovered them by accident at a festival after they released their first album. Was walking to enough set and they were going to hard ended up staying and catching almost the entire set. If they come to your town go trust me
Who else remember this from the Black Panther trailer, that shit slapped

Ali Baba I bet you’re fun at parties.
Walking in the snow from RTJ4 is extremely relevant rn
Whole album is. That song is intense. The way Mike makes his voice sound on that verse gives me goosebumps every listen
My favorite RTJ song... that album is the best.
This duo has put out 4 highly praised masterpieces! El-P and Mike have such a good chemistry and not to mention El-P is an amazing producer! I highly recommend listening to all 4 Run the Jewels album cleverly titled Run the Jewels 1,2,3 and 4. Banger after banger. Truly an amazing duo!
The best 4 album run in recent memory
john m that is true! I would also put the past 4 Denzel Curry albums on that list!
The day is finally here my brothers and sisters. Now the chain shall begin.
I've been waiting for it.

Held his own?! That's El-P bro, he don't hold his own; he tramples on everyone else's. Look him up man, he's a savage.
I HAVE BEEN WANTING THIS REACTION FOR YEARS BRO
ME AND MY BROTHER USED TO BUMP THIS SONG EVERYWHERE
HE HAD KILLER MIKES VERSES I HAD EL P, BROO WE PUT ON A SHOW FOR OUR HOMIES😂
Love the old school passing the mic around the circle.
"The other guy", wowwwwwwww. The disrespect
I'm personally offended that you referred to El-P as the "other guy" WTF?!
Since it was a reaction vid, you have to assume he didn't know who El-P was. Just be happy that he found RTJ and is now a fan.
Personally offended? The comment has nothing to do with you
I was like that too when I was new to RTJ, Mikes voice and delivery shine brighter to newer fans but once you listen a bit more you will love El-P just as much.
RTJ have to be put in the conversation of best rap duos after this last album!
EL-P *dopest white boy in the game*
facts
No lie spoken
Been waiting SO LONG to see more reactions to them. They are SO fucking dope.
Seen RTJ three times live they absolutely murder every time. Another underrated rap group I like is Flatbush zombies.
Damn, how my man never heard of El-P? They on the 4th Run The Jewels now.
How is this the first time he's heard Run The Jewels? They're not exactly obscure.
Cause he knows nothing about hiphop
They are not hip pop, content is substantive and beats are too hard
They're one of those things that when you hear them, you're just annoyed you didn't hear them earlier.
Amazed you have never heard of el-producto from company flow. One of the sickest producers out there and his rhymes are dope. A vast library that will blow your mind
Saw them live in Pittsburgh right after RTJ3 dropped. Crazy energy, no backing vocal tracks, all raw talent. Broke my foot moshing. Shit was tough
Searched your channel for RTJ when I found you. Glad this has finally come around! Banger.
Do their new album bro! It’s lit af and it’s an anthem for the movement happening. Let’s gooo🔥💯
💯 that album is 🔥 thru and thru
Julian Valles facts!
Run the jewels 4 been in repeat
@@Kingkassan_ Hell ya, same here.. that album is 🔥🔥 thru and thru
Please react to “Walking in the snow” from RTJ4🔥🔥🙏🙏🙏
El-P used to be a part of the Weathermen back in the 90's through early 2000's. He ran with rappers like Cage, Aesop Rock, Vast Air, and Tame One.
You gotta do more run the jewels! Do the song “Ooh La La” it’s brand new
And definitely the anthem of 2020
If you thought that was anthem for 2020, you haven't heard the rest of the album. Check it out.
Holy calamafuck, walking in the snow, Ju$t, and a few words for the firing squad.
RTJ 1 2 3 & 4.
Hell yeah

You already know killer Mike is a beast and el-p is an underground OG. Together they are considered a rap supergroup
