The two most important things to happen in the last six months are the release of Run the Jewels 3 — the collaboration albums of rapper Killer Mike and rapper/producer El-P — plus the 2016 season of the Seattle Seahawks. Call me biased if you must, but tell me another album more important than RtJ3.
Run the Jewels, for my money, are The Beatles of our generation. It’s not just that the music is impeccable, but the message connected to it is as important as any lyrics you’ve heard in the last decade. When the youth of 2040 are looking for their “classic” inspirational bands and songs of the 2010s, Run the Jewels will be at the forefront.
