It was included on the Japanese edition. To combat the price of import CDs most labels add tracks to the Japanese edition to add the little bang for you buck that would sway you to purchase the domestic over the import.
Still keep coming back to this track. RTJ and RTJ2 were the best albums of the year, respectively. Seeing these guys together, once in 2012, right after RAP music and Cancer for Cure came out and once last year, was amazing to say the least. I'm so glad El's finally getting the recognition he's deserved for the better part of 2 decades. #runthejewelsorloseyourfingers
then mah boy, look up DJ's Q-Bert, invisibl scratch piklz, mixmaster mike, DJ Babu, Dstyles,Toadstyle, uhhh so many.. but start there and go back to the beginning of hip hop music... early LL-cool-J, public enemy, beastie boys, anything produced by rick rubin... anyway.. stay up late do acid, and get some used equipment and start laying down some tracks and throw some cuts on top....
Now I wish QBert was on more RTJ tracks. Man is a frickin' legend on the decks. Hell, make a track of Mike & El rapping over a scratch battle between QBert and Shadow. Or a whole album.
im crazzy rowe, that last meal flow with true piss hes toothless burn this with two hits hurts when i drew kiss cheek checker trap wrecker, tug boat keeper all afloat cheaper rescue the driver captains a diver more rigs them mcguiver!!!

Came for the freedom, stayed for the prison Came for the women, stayed for the money Presidents are better worth dead to feed tummies You came for the brains, but you stayed for the fucking The money’s by the side of the bed, it ain’t nothing (Q-Bert!) [Scratches by DJ Q-Bert]
I have been a RTJ fan for 7 months and I just heard of this song like 3 weeks ago wtf? THIS SHIT IS FIRE!!! I don't know why it didn't get on RTJ2. Maybe it didn't fit the album flow.
look up the el-p back catalogue. absolutely amazing. if you got a good sound system & good quality media it will blow you away. one on my favourite producers over the last 15 years. i would start with cannibal ox the cold vein then take it from there
El - P is the best white lyricist ever .. top tier best lyrics white of black. I don't want to even put him in a box. his lyrics are insane. I've spent countless hours on rap genius reading the words this wordsmith has welded
How the fuck have I been a hardcore el-p fan since 2006, and an RTJ fan since there were only rumors of them, and some fucking how I never heard this track. I feel like Cercei in GOT when they walk after her telling Shame! Shame!

Criminally underrated rap group. Best tag team running two years strong.
Run The Jewels is not for your children.
heavyhebrew Word
heavyhebrew Everybody praises them. They aren't criminally underrated.
+Wulbulbul Lubbubwublub I think he means it that they arent mainstream in a sense
Three years strong now!
Need to put this shit in a bottle for your baby, raise that kid right.
I just cant get enough of El-P production.
I love how Killer Mike always has a verse where its like he forgot to be really angry and came back into the recording booth really quickly.
Most great artists are crazy, in a way, baby...
@TheKatiewindow let's be real, was saying baby really neccesary?
@@jedicraftmaster2426right that was cringe asf lmfao
Why is this a bonus track this is amazing.
It was included on the Japanese edition. To combat the price of import CDs most labels add tracks to the Japanese edition to add the little bang for you buck that would sway you to purchase the domestic over the import.
wasn’t done when the rest were recorded
cause its Mike and El, how can it not be amazing
Can’t even buy it in the US on iTunes. I’m straight up angry
@@crispybanana3198 DJ Qbert is always on top of the game as well.
Damn I swear El-P is a goddamn magician on the boards.
Galaxy Man wait are you saying el-p is the mix master also? holy tap dancing Christ. cause he's as good as the Beastie boys production.
im still sure this is q-bert behind this one
No one here acknowledged one of history's best scratching solos
Thank you DJ Q-bert
Fr, fr! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
He's incredible...
FOR FUCKING REALS!!!! He fucking murders this shit! QBert is one of the nicest dudes ever in person too
Can't believe Spotify removed this song...
Still keep coming back to this track. RTJ and RTJ2 were the best albums of the year, respectively.

#runthejewelsorloseyourfingers
You on point
+Lacie Rae Schwarz Mike too!! Sure he has a grammy - dont we all, but all of his albums have been very good since then and basically went unseen.
RTJ3 probably blew your mind
Lacie Rae Schwarz is
Respect, man...
this whole track is flame but there's something special about that scratch ending..rarely ever hear heat like this. RTJ ALL DAY
then mah boy, look up DJ's Q-Bert, invisibl scratch piklz, mixmaster mike, DJ Babu, Dstyles,Toadstyle, uhhh so many.. but start there and go back to the beginning of hip hop music... early LL-cool-J, public enemy, beastie boys, anything produced by rick rubin... anyway.. stay up late do acid, and get some used equipment and start laying down some tracks and throw some cuts on top....
If the radio only knew. This is hot.
Fuck the radio.
J.K. love you
One of the radio stations in my area actually DOES know. Its pretty mind blowing.
Michael Ragland
That's awesome!
+Michael Ragland Where the hell do you live? the only contemporary rap they play over here is "watch me whip, now watch me nae nae"
Run the Jewels was by far the best hip hop album of the year.
there sec one is EVEN BETTER! no joke!.
MovieHound17 I like both, but RTJ2 is a little bit better.
one of their best songs, and it's a bonus track.
I like their solo work but when Killer Mike and El-P come together their music is fucking lit
Tougher colder killer is a bop
Magic
I can't wait for future album covers where they have cyborg hands
iReima personally i'm hype for werewolf hands
cyborg hands imply futuristic beats
iReima i demand creature from the black lagoon hands
Well here I am a year later
It's not cyborg themed, it's gold
RTJ4 and we're getting closer.
Q-Bert is most definitely an alien...
RtJ 2 is going to be ridiculous.
Not a particularly bold prediction, but it came true and then some.
you from 3 years ago wasn't ready for RTJ3 tho lmaoo
And they're still getting better! Shit is insane
RTJ 4?
soon
Their non album cuts are better than everybody else's albums
Q-Bert is king and sets turntables on fire even the whole track's a killa
Gotta love the LL Cool J "Going Back to Cali" intro. Really sets the track up.
school these kids, OG!
The deejay at the end tho ! Dope & that's how you make a real hip hop song .
Thats Qbert. He is a legend.
Lookin' back at this and waiting for RTJ4!👉👊
Now I wish QBert was on more RTJ tracks. Man is a frickin' legend on the decks. Hell, make a track of Mike & El rapping over a scratch battle between QBert and Shadow. Or a whole album.
Run the Jewels can do no wrong at the moment
It's may 2022 and this statement is not only still true, but they've done even better.
I can't stop listening to Killers Mike's first verse, it is just so damn good!
As expected, this shit be fucking amazing.
Hardcore G shit
hi
Diamond hi qt
HOMIE I DON'T PLAY AROUND
AIN'T SHIT SWEET BOUT THE PEACH THIS ATLANTA CLOWN
HOME OF THE DEALERS AND THE STRIPPERS AND THE CLUBS THOUGH
A crown jewel of hip hop.
The return of DJ , thanks Mike & Elp for bring back fresh shit!!
Gonna see them for the first time tomorrow. I couldn't even sleep last night thinking about it.
I'm desperate for Run the Jewels II
free on October 27
The beat is 🔥🔥🔥🔥
"Okay I'm an asshole, kiss me."
+Bryan Koch "No doubt, i'm a dick, fuck with me"
I'm a unwashed pussy mistake me for low tide.
bryyyaannn its dylan m mayne. not surprised to see you commenting on rtj tho haha
Did he yell Qbert during the scratchin? Cuz that would be cool... AND it would mean that Run the Jewels was black yellow and white during this song
he sure was! Q did the scratches
He definitely did
excellent point.
Hope these guys are working on another album already.
they announced on twitter a month or so ago that they are working on Run the Jewels 2
I came with a sly wink and a shit grin with a pimp limp and a foul tongue - Fucking hell mate
I am dazed and amazed.
This is pretty fucking great.
DJ Qbert scratchin hfs!
The beat to this reminds me of the theme of 'They Live', I think El-P is inspired by 80s movie soundtracks.
Absolutely crazy! Can't wait for RTJ2
this is hip hop fukrs learn it live it love it!!
Best duo since Batman and Robin.
A friend told me about this song. I was not disappointed
Wow.
Pressed I can’t find the studio version on Spotify anymore.
21 people have demonstrated poor taste in music. Who doesn't like this??
Peeps who like to watch an endless loop of dick and asshole
Nice rapping bro
Qbert was a minigame in Grand Theft Auto 4
Q*Bert was an Arcade Game back in the early 80s.... ;)
DJ Qbert on his part is a most influential guy as it seems
He's one of the original Invisible Skratch Picklz.
This shit go so hard.
GODDAMMMIITT Mike just fuckin savage, i mean like pyscic tandem ancient war elephant savage.
fresh as FUCK. can't wait to see RTJ in January in San Diego!
At this time 9 maphuckas didn't like this because it didn't inflate their street cred. It shattered it.
Qbert killed on this
shiiii...t ill buy the cd just for that cut-solo
El-p's verse reminded me of the one he performed for Piss Test. Great rhythm and flow
im crazzy rowe, that last meal flow with true piss hes toothless burn this with two hits hurts when i drew kiss cheek checker trap wrecker, tug boat keeper all afloat cheaper rescue the driver captains a diver more rigs them mcguiver!!!
Came for the freedom stayed for the prison
Run The Jewels is the ultimate middle finger to racism. These guys never not make a banger 💯😎👍
This is AMAZING.
Jesus Fucking Christ I just discovered this song. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌✊🏼
Well fuck me. I'mma blast this nonstop on New Year's. I'll know every lyric by 5 a.m.
aww its so dope!!!!!!
Run the Jewels need to come up with a new mixtape already
I don't if it's the novelty but this might be the best track on the album. And I almost missed it entirely.
ThanksIntro: Killer Mike]
I'm a rider and provider and I don't tolerate ho shit
I Bun B out on emcees meaning I obliterate yo' shit
Man, every time I try to like a rapper they turn and do ho shit
Make me ski mask on they a-a-ass, run they jewels and mo shit
[Verse 1: El-P]
You looking at the guy who the guy that you think that I got my style from got his own style from ('sup?)
I came with a sly wink and a shit grin with a pimp limp and a foul tongue
I'm a Brooklyn son, set adrift in a chemtrail sky
Bad guys knock when the doors are locked, I got no shots left, better prep for God
Not long, He'll be talkin the same shit, I am just impossible
Got a right to be hostile, motherfucker life is a coffin, layin' down in it ain’t awesome
Every single moment you spend in the dirt is a worse time than the last moment, own it
We all know you don't know shit (no shit!)
Me and Mike will straight write your obit
[Verse 2: Killer Mike]
And the obit goes like this: "Here lies a punk bitch, real fuck boy type
Who never want shit, 'bout as soft as his momma's own tit"
And sensitive as his old lady's clit, real bust-out bitch
She fuck my clique, obscene, absurd with the words
I cleaned up curbs with the blood and the bones of you nerds
I kill with the mic and murder with words
I'm known on the corners where murders occur, I cruise in the verse where murderers lurk
When god in the building, who they gonna hurt
[Verse 3: El-P]
Not a butterfly, bunny, bee, bird bein' hurt
Got a third-rock-from-the-sun claim for the turf
Never learned how to love, gimme brain then it burnt
Yeah that hurts, but at worst it will already start
With a curse in the heart that'll hurt til it's worse
[Verse 4: Killer Mike]
Brrrr stick 'em, Brrrr stick 'em!
Let that four-fifth turn and twist em
If they all got the mark we miss em
I pray death come quick and kiss em
If he need help I assist him, follow?
All of my tips is hollow
I could kill your ass today
But right now I’m playin' Grand Theft Auto
Brain check, I’m just come through your hood
And just shoot your ass tomorrow, Brain dead
Scattered over the hood of my old lady’s brand new auto
Man, knew I should have kept it G and drove my Monte Carlo
It got like this, if Shay gets pissed
I shoot your ass again tomorrow
Bang!
[Verse 5: El-P]
Ok, I’m an asshole, kiss me (good luck!)
Break a leg in a bear trap, skippy
Wasn’t in class when the lunch bell rang
Due to Colt 45 plus smoke got shittyMike already a help assist with me
Tag team of the goddamn century
I never asked for shit, it ain’t in me
You go to work now, but the style haunts history
No doubt I’m a dick, fuck with me
Liberty bell cracked, the cops aren’t kidding
The rabbit in the hat is all deaf now, ain't it?
Came for the freedom, stayed for the prison
Came for the women, stayed for the money
Presidents are better worth dead to feed tummies
You came for the brains, but you stayed for the fucking
The money’s by the side of the bed, it ain’t nothing
(Q-Bert!)
[Scratches by DJ Q-Bert]
Why this gone from Spotify?
Wonder if I can get through this on acid?
why wouldn't you??
I have been a RTJ fan for 7 months and I just heard of this song like 3 weeks ago wtf? THIS SHIT IS FIRE!!! I don't know why it didn't get on RTJ2. Maybe it didn't fit the album flow.

+Rggilby Listen to crooked-I. His word play makes everyone look autistic coloring a wall with shit.
+Rggilby Why do you you have to say white? Dude's lyricism is untouchable
+llamapie24 You heard his verse on The Last Huzzah?
Duncan Wright best verse on that whole track, Despot killed it too
The instrumental is sooo sick on this one... Can't even focus on the lyrics.
Brrap Brrap Pew Pew
