One of my favorite things about RTJ is shown during report to the shareholders. The fact that El-P and Killer Mike have a genuine love for one another makes these songs hit so much harder. They genuinely love each other as brothers and even amongst all the bullshit going on, they each help keep the other afloat and focused on what matters. Such a good group, and that's not even mentioning the raw energy Zach brings when he shows up.

I just realized there's no curse words in Zack's verse. It may not be a big deal. But I think it really speak volumes about a rapper who can make such a fiery verse with the upmost fury but also coincidentally not curse either, simply because he doesn't have room for filler words in his verse. Just adds another layer of greatness to Zack's verse and Zack in general.
De la will always be de la soul. Can't change that... It's like the masts ace quote "he ain't still in the game, we stealing the name" (very aware de la soul is still very much in the game)

My masters are the banks holding my mortgage. I'd like to deprive them of their source of income, and watch them starve instead. But banks never starve. 😫
Everything they do is Top Notch, two incredible lyricist over the sickest beats in the game, Everyone thank Jamie and Mike for saving hip hop. Fist and gun position for life
The best track on the album with superb lyricism, flow, beats, and performances from all three artists. Zack De La Rocha finishes it off perfectly with his lyricism and focused aggression.
I totally agree. They already had me hooked by the first song, but this one just hits so different. Glad they saved it for the last track because it's perfect.
it doesn't matter what zack says because the intensity behind his delivery cuts through. if he does nothing else, he needs to ad lib on every rap album for the next decades
From someone four years later, in the age of dangerous AI: Someone out in the world cries those tears with you. As things get darker, all we have is each other.
First time I heard RTJ my jaw was on the floor for an hour. I didn't know what to do with myself. Life changing music.. This is back with the original RTJ album.
MICHAEL RENDER - sir, you are the fucking greatest. Thanks for this, on christmas. Be well, love people - and come the new year we're taking on the worlds problems and we need your mind and your incredible talent. Please dont stop and please document your life.. do you know what a treasure it would be to have Malcolm X's daily vlogs/journal/anything
"Probably play the score for the world war/And the apocalypse'll play the encore /Turn around and I see EL and i smile/Hell comin and we got about a mile/Until it's over I remain hostile" fuck. yes. can't get enough of that verse.
I heard this went it dropped by surprise that fateful December years ago, I was traveling around Morocco at the time. Blew all my roaming data to get this, was in tears by the end, with this as a MONUMENTAL closer to an incredible hip hop album, cementing Run the Jewels as THE contemporary rap duo to beat. El-P's instrumentals are literally flawless, cannot be beaten. Killer Mike is top 5 easy, wordplay, bars, flows, his fucking voice. His verses bring me to tears. And De La Rocha doing his RTJ cameo and blitzing the whole fucking soundscape.
When I saw all those little blue and gold windows lined up on RUclips written RTJ and "NEW" at the bottom tears started to drop from my eyes. Thank you Jamie and Mike!
"Master-Peein' on these lost Europeans thievin'" - I mean I just don't even know if I can listen to other hip-hop for a while, and it was a great year for hip-hop
warren palmer This is real hip-hop, the shit on the radio is garbage... can't listen to radio without wanting to shoot myself! Very excited to see more from RTJ
3 albums in the books and it's no longer going out on a limb to say this is the best hip hop duo of all time. In fact, it might be the safest bet to say RTJ is the best than not to, imagine that. I love that El-P and Killer Mike are basking in the notoriety they've long deserved. This is Ultra-Concentrated Hip Hop.
August 1988 my Pop dropped a copy of "my brother Brendan" by Dominic Shehan @ the place i was crashing in south Bmore. 2days prior he put me out of his house on my 17th birthday for stating i would not return to high-school. The gesture was a profound message to of acceptance, forgiveness, diligence & every virtue a man should have. It also started a sort of free form book club made up of pop, my older bro and myself randomly giving one another books about father's, sons & brothers. I think it's made us better more thoughtful men to our mother, sister & wives. I still have that book today. It's a first edition. I'd send this video to my pop but he don't text, email or do anything internet. God bless everyone work at or with the Lomax Archive.
Short and sweet I'm so proud of the new p&j I'm so proud of the dynamic duo playing grown folks music and they got grown folks thinking. And then LP has the nerve to say that's why me and Mike get along. I love it this is hip hop music at highest art form. This is the kind of music lyrical craftsmanship it makes me proud to be part of the culture. Long live the new peanut butter and jelly
This song is legendary, I hope the mainstream picks this up, this kind of music is extraordinary. It deserves all the praise in the world, it needs to be recognized. I can't even imagine what they're planning next, but I said that about RTJ2. My guess? Harder, Angrier, Darker.
Choose the lesser of the evil people, and the devil still gon' win It could all be over tomorrow, kill our masters and start again But we know we all afraid, so we just simply cry and march again
I'm alone too today but whatever I'm used to it.. All the people in my family who I actually used to like being around on holidays are all dead like my parents and grandparents and then I'm at the age where most my friends are married with kids and stuff so they with them on xmas.. But I do my own thing on xmas I have a little goofy tree and I just chill and listen to music and watch dumb xmas movies lol that probably sounds sad and pathetic and depressing but to me its not haha. Merry Xmas!
If you look at the hand signs. There's a deep meaning behind it. The left hand, considered the crooked hand, has long nails and represents Darkness/evil/ devil, pointing as a gun with it's only purpose to destroy. The right hand forms a fist towards the evil hand to resist and fight that power.
If you listen to this song, like really listen, thats why it's good music. If you didn't listen thats why your shocked its popular yet you've never heard of it.
THANK YOU SO MUCH RTJ!!! SENDING JOY, GRATITUDE, BLESSINGS, WARM WISHES AND MUCH LOVE AND RESPECT FROM SOUTH AUSTRALIA, VICTORIA, NEW SOUTH WALES AND QUEENSLAND - AUSTRALIA!!! WE JUST CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR BRINGING BACK THE TRUE ART FORM AND DOING IT AGAIN - LOVE LOVE LOVE.
One year later I even like it more - and I loved it from the beginning!!! Another pretty good ending and beginning of a year!!! Thanks to no sell outs like you - RAP is NOT DEAD!!!

Coming from you? This is hilarious.
The thing I like most about El-P's production is the way he can weave dread into a beat
AND without being corny or goth or forced....
You know when you're listening to an El-P track, because you're worried
I don't get a sense of dread from this beat. I get a sense of...forlorn hope, I guess? Like a wild, raw, rebellious, frustrated optimism.
It's the bass in the background. He truly is one of the best producers of our time
Kyle Reese Correct, the constant deep bass tones, sometimes not even associated with actual beats, induce a kind of nameless fear
"This life will stress you like Orson Welles on the radio" is the HARDEST line

really are you sure its not "can't wait to load up the silos and make your babies glow" cuz that line goes pretty fuckin HARD

Master P-ing on these lost Europeans thievin'
Shit be grim, and De La born a reaper
Born in the beast and fixin' feast tearin' its features
The world surges, the nation's nervous
The crowds awaken, they can't disperse us
We ain't at your service, won't stay sedated
Won't state our numbers for names and remain faceless
We dignified, they can't erase us
We ain't asleep, we rope a dope through the flames
Man, the world gonna ride on what's implied in the name
Run 'em
Kill your, kill, kill your kill your, kill
Kill your, kill, kill, kill your, kill
Kill your masters
Kill your, kill, kill your kill your, kill
Kill your, kill, kill, kill your, kill
Kill your masters
Kill your, kill, kill your kill your, kill
Kill your, kill, kill, kill your, kill
Kill your masters
Kill your, kill, kill your kill your, kill
Kill your, kill, kill, kill your, kill
Kill your masters
Motherfuckers I'm hostile
This shit is pure FYE!!
My masters are the banks holding my mortgage. I'd like to deprive them of their source of income, and watch them starve instead. But banks never starve. 😫
@Jacqueline A Not if their fire suppression system works. Thumb up to you for the cheery thought, however.
@@ANDROLOMA one little mouse
I've repeated A Report To the Shareholders like 300 times in the last 2 days. Can't get enough of it.
Everything they do is Top Notch, two incredible lyricist over the sickest beats in the game, Everyone thank Jamie and Mike for saving hip hop. Fist and gun position for life
Zach De La Rocha's verse is absolutely phenomenal.
This beat is gasoline and his mouth is a flame thrower.
Goddamn
This is what homie was bumpin' when he popped that C.E.O. 😂
The best track on the album with superb lyricism, flow, beats, and performances from all three artists. Zack De La Rocha finishes it off perfectly with his lyricism and focused aggression.
I totally agree. They already had me hooked by the first song, but this one just hits so different. Glad they saved it for the last track because it's perfect.
Their style of rap is just out of the universe. They sound so unique, so metaphorical and so different. Big up Run The Jewels 💎
Lynn Christian I totally agree! They are not only musically brilliant but highly topical and incredibly relevant.
it doesn't matter what zack says because the intensity behind his delivery cuts through. if he does nothing else, he needs to ad lib on every rap album for the next decades
I'm returning everybody's gifts and buying em this album. RTJ!!!
boi it's free
That doesn't mean you can't support the band by buying it. There is a reason they still release a physical version.
Run the Jewels makes music that makes me cry tears of happiness because I don't feel alone anymore
From someone four years later, in the age of dangerous AI: Someone out in the world cries those tears with you. As things get darker, all we have is each other.
First time I heard RTJ my jaw was on the floor for an hour. I didn't know what to do with myself. Life changing music.. This is back with the original RTJ album.
My Dad recommended this song to me and I am so thrilled by the content and lyricism.
Taj Cameron Your dad has good taste in hip hop.
I was thinking this morning imagine if RTJ3 came early for christmas. It fucking happened!!!
Aquwert ey! little boy from Liar Liar, thank you for wishing this into existance, we all are grateful.
Unknown Ghoul no idea what the first part of your message means but my pleasure! Best present i could of wished for
Aquwert That is a christmas fucking miracle, man.
Aquwert
So Happy right now it's a Christmas fucking miracle
Never heard of rtj before this came out but this is one of the best records I've ever heard.
Words really resonate right now.
dark virus
“Killer Children of Men on the throne...”
May be Zach’s greatest verse ever. So prescient, so eloquent and so urgent
RTJ keeps getting better, this is the sequel Close Your Eyes & Count To Fuck needed. Hope they keep collabing with guys like this.
El-P needs to produce Zach's album. He sounds great on his beats
You'll be happy to know Zack's next album will indeed be produced by El-P. Look up Digging for windows if you haven't heard it yet.
@@mhbed5 that album never dropped
Zach lived with Jaime when he left Rage, there is unreleased music.
MICHAEL RENDER - sir, you are the fucking greatest. Thanks for this, on christmas. Be well, love people - and come the new year we're taking on the worlds problems and we need your mind and your incredible talent. Please dont stop and please document your life.. do you know what a treasure it would be to have Malcolm X's daily vlogs/journal/anything
This track really highlights El-Ps production acumen. Every RTJ song has 3 layers. Both lyricist and the story the beat tells all by itself.
When the beat changed it felt like a train flew out of my speakers and slapped me across the face
Jax-3636 Fucking love your comment
#metoo
Well this is oddly relevant
When De la Rocha came in on this track I almost lost my mind!!! fucking incredibleeeeeeee
I still can't fucking believe it.
ZACH DE LAROCHA BIIIITCCCHH
Smoked his verse!
Woo!
Rip DJ Scott LaRoche
I want more collaboration with RTJ
I google his name and 2021 and I just find this EPIC band.. goshhhhh AMAZING I am hearing all their stuff now, next year they tour with RATM
"Probably play the score for the world war/And the apocalypse'll play the encore /Turn around and I see EL and i smile/Hell comin and we got about a mile/Until it's over I remain hostile"
fuck. yes. can't get enough of that verse.
deny defend depose
Dispose
The production on this whole album is out of this fucking world
Missed these guys a couple of months ago. Never again. That transition from Report to Kill. Damn.
I heard this went it dropped by surprise that fateful December years ago, I was traveling around Morocco at the time. Blew all my roaming data to get this, was in tears by the end, with this as a MONUMENTAL closer to an incredible hip hop album, cementing Run the Jewels as THE contemporary rap duo to beat. El-P's instrumentals are literally flawless, cannot be beaten. Killer Mike is top 5 easy, wordplay, bars, flows, his fucking voice. His verses bring me to tears. And De La Rocha doing his RTJ cameo and blitzing the whole fucking soundscape.
When I saw all those little blue and gold windows lined up on RUclips written RTJ and "NEW" at the bottom tears started to drop from my eyes. Thank you Jamie and Mike!
"Master-Peein' on these lost Europeans thievin'" - I mean I just don't even know if I can listen to other hip-hop for a while, and it was a great year for hip-hop
ShellacSoup beyond amazing, I'm so in awe I can't think of another word
I think that's why RTJ doesn't get a lot of radio play....because they make all these other, more popular hip hop artists look weak in comparison
ShellacSoup man you got that quasimoto pic tht whatsup
Mad-lib though.
oh my days so on point.......this is the future of hip hop......
Rap moves on!!
warren palmer This is real hip-hop, the shit on the radio is garbage... can't listen to radio without wanting to shoot myself! Very excited to see more from RTJ
@@sorrywerestoned5228 Yeah hate to say it, but most of these new school rappers sound the same....and they're all overusing the synthesized voice
3 albums in the books and it's no longer going out on a limb to say this is the best hip hop duo of all time. In fact, it might be the safest bet to say RTJ is the best than not to, imagine that. I love that El-P and Killer Mike are basking in the notoriety they've long deserved. This is Ultra-Concentrated Hip Hop.
zach should just be the third member of rtj
Cam Par nope they a duo
Cam Par doesn't say (feat. Zach De La Rocha) so im gonna assume he is
Alec Nguyen lol,he should be on every song
Alec Nguyen I imagine the only reason Zach wasn't credited was to give listeners a shock when he just starts rapping out of nowhere
Cam Par i agree... but the boys dont give a fuck
It may be the 25th of December but this is the perfect closure to 2016
lyrically theyre top tier man. for real.
Track of the album right here. That fucking beat is too good.
August 1988 my Pop dropped a copy of "my brother Brendan" by Dominic Shehan @ the place i was crashing in south Bmore. 2days prior he put me out of his house on my 17th birthday for stating i would not return to high-school. The gesture was a profound message to of acceptance, forgiveness, diligence & every virtue a man should have. It also started a sort of free form book club made up of pop, my older bro and myself randomly giving one another books about father's, sons & brothers. I think it's made us better more thoughtful men to our mother, sister & wives. I still have that book today. It's a first edition.
I'd send this video to my pop but he don't text, email or do anything internet.
God bless everyone work at or with the Lomax Archive.
This is a perfect unexpected surprise way to cap off an otherwise terrible year
RKWDBMX you ain't never lied...Happy 2017, we DESERVED this shit
What made 2016 so terrible though?
Worms0nFir3 Bowie fuckin' died
Blastmaster KRS-One true, it is a sad passing, but he went out with a bang. I guess at least his last record was one of his best :)
Blastmaster KRS-One but, did that ruin your entire year though?
Short and sweet I'm so proud of the new p&j I'm so proud of the dynamic duo playing grown folks music and they got grown folks thinking. And then LP has the nerve to say that's why me and Mike get along. I love it this is hip hop music at highest art form. This is the kind of music lyrical craftsmanship it makes me proud to be part of the culture. Long live the new peanut butter and jelly
listened to this song 20+ times in the past day, one of El-P's best verses at the beginning
Fight The Power!
The Revolution will be Instagrammed Live!!!
Godspeed Etika.

Choose the lesser of the evil people and the devil still gone win
This song is legendary, I hope the mainstream picks this up, this kind of music is extraordinary. It deserves all the praise in the world, it needs to be recognized. I can't even imagine what they're planning next, but I said that about RTJ2. My guess? Harder, Angrier, Darker.
Choose the lesser of the evil people, and the devil still gon' win
It could all be over tomorrow, kill our masters and start again
But we know we all afraid, so we just simply cry and march again
When we choose the lesser of two evils we still choose evil. 😒
So much meaning right now. Mainstream media trying to tell us to choose Bloomberg or Trump instead of someone HONEST like Bernie.
Jay Robb The media is all propaganda, disabuse yourself please.
el's production is absolutely at peak performance. He remains miles ahead as always
Honestly, I don't have anyone to do anything with on Christmas, I'm working 8 + hours today; this is the highlight of the holidays to me.
P.S
This beat is amazing, keep it up El.
I'm alone too today but whatever I'm used to it.. All the people in my family who I actually used to like being around on holidays are all dead like my parents and grandparents and then I'm at the age where most my friends are married with kids and stuff so they with them on xmas.. But I do my own thing on xmas I have a little goofy tree and I just chill and listen to music and watch dumb xmas movies lol that probably sounds sad and pathetic and depressing but to me its not haha. Merry Xmas!
no cap this was the best album outta all of them.
That surprise Zach De La Rocha feature tho!!!!!
best song ive heard In ages. a brilliant message.
If you look at the hand signs. There's a deep meaning behind it. The left hand, considered the crooked hand, has long nails and represents Darkness/evil/ devil, pointing as a gun with it's only purpose to destroy.
The right hand forms a fist towards the evil hand to resist and fight that power.
Nope, it's a left hand making the fist and a right hand making the gun sign.
And Zak de la rocha too? This album is hot!
god the beat change whooped my ass
Saaame
Fav song by rtj....this month. Such truth spoken from these guys. They Sick ALL AROUND!
OH SHIT THEY RELEASED THE ALBUM ON CHRISTMAS, BUT I EXPECTED IT IN JANUARY, HOLY SHIT!
IM FREAKING THE FUCK OUT!!!!
hillary clinton, i will be voting, for hillary clinton
RigmaRollin Hillary Clit, I will be voting for Hillary Clit.
Kony2012 You can say it's a Christmas fucking miracle!
best rtj song ever
definitely my new fav from the album
Bossun7 probably
Bossun7 A Christmas Fucking Miracle, OMDDC and this yup
It's a toss up between Sea Legs, Crown, and Thursday In The Danger Room for me
Why's no-one mentioned Close Your Eyes (and Count To Fuck) yet?
If you listen to this song, like really listen, thats why it's good music. If you didn't listen thats why your shocked its popular yet you've never heard of it.
Songs more heady than your chiny chin chin.
And now their music is more relevant than ever, they warned us, but we didnt listen
We listened, maybe we didn't share enough? This is our second chance? Don't give up, bounce and shout!
It’s funny. I’ve loved their music for a few years but it sounds different to me now; like a war soundtrack.
@@seanmckeownyoung mayne like a rebellion soundtrack
And...... just bought the album! thanks and Merry freaking X-mas everybody!
RTJ is pure musical perfection.
Thank you Jamie and mike 👌
THANK YOU SO MUCH RTJ!!! SENDING JOY, GRATITUDE, BLESSINGS, WARM WISHES AND MUCH LOVE AND RESPECT FROM SOUTH AUSTRALIA, VICTORIA, NEW SOUTH WALES AND QUEENSLAND - AUSTRALIA!!! WE JUST CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR BRINGING BACK THE TRUE ART FORM AND DOING IT AGAIN - LOVE LOVE LOVE.
Wow, THESE BROTHERS are the TRUTH!
I now know how much I needed this for Christmas. It wasn't even on my list, but dudes delivered it. Hell yeah!
7 years later...
I was so hyped to see Zack dela Rocha back for RTJ3. Another jewel was made
No dislikes cause this album is flawless, amazing job
One year later I even like it more - and I loved it from the beginning!!!
