In 2020... only 23 years until Despot's album drops.
You are far behind my son
@@kingschatzie2890 cant wait dude i'm gonna be in my 40's lmao
At least we have that ONE SONG
I'm the 100th thumb up...
Whoopty dooo!!!!!🥇🕶️👀
It is now 2023 and still waiting
elp and killer mike talking about how they met, unaware of how rtj gonna blow the fuck up
The crazy thing is that after two albums that were SO dark - dark and angry in the case of R.A.P. Music, full of despair and depression in the case of C4C - they made an album together that was so funny and joyous-sounding.
I hope it means they're happier.
BlinDFAithable 👊🔫
@@benduffy6219 Super underrated comment, another three albums along and they're having shitloads of fun now
@@fives. El-P said they call RTJ3 the "Blue Album" because it also reflects the feelings on it. RTJ4 apparently allowed them to go back to the fun from the earlier albums
@the_bearded_schlub far from the truth hater
I hope El-P keeps making music till he's 70. It keeps getting better and better
I feel so bad that I heard about Company Flow this year...
David Westwood Nothing could ever beat Fantastic Damage that he did in 02.
@@Eagles4life221 That's the truth but I love RTJ.
I saw him saying in an interview that his cutoff was 50 - we'll see
@@Firepaw420 I'd like at least one more solo el-p record
0:41 DESPOT - House Made of Bricks
6:25 MR. MFN EXQUIRE - Huzzah
11:50 KILLER MIKE - Untitled
20:37 EL-P - Works Every Time
3 years later... Despot decides to release this song.
heard him that shit for the first time a few weeks ago on Pandora. Song is trash .
Beat goes hard. One man's trash...
@@JasonCole_TheVeil ..is another man's slightly better trash
This version of House of Bricks is fire! The version he released is inferior to this. I wonder what happened.
Label interference?
This is so dope knowing what came after with Killer Mike and El-P. ... Run the Jewels...
Before run the jewels EL-P produced Killer Mikes album
Exactly.. I know from history that they already worked together but this is the first video I see them together before RTJ. Show me links before this I want to watch!
run the jewels is like generic rap for older middle class and up whyte nerd tech guys in america and europe. Its where el-p became gentrified to retire.
Company Flow was for marker sniffing graffheads, in a pre-gentrified NY, sci fi paranoia pigeons, cheap liquor, blunts and dust yada...
that kid Despot gots Fuckin BARS!!!and he from QUEENS!
Killer Mike wears his heart on his sleeve, cool guy.
You ask someone named Mr.Motherfukin' eXquire to do a clean song, that's what you get lol
Dude got HUZZAH'D
This is my first Despot action. What a legend.
Most slept on rapper without an album
I remember when this was first uploaded. It’s been really fun to witness the phenomenon that is RTJ and how these men have evolved into superstars gracefully. They definitely deserve the success.
Came here for El-P, left with Despot and Killer Mike!
Don't sleep on Exquire!!!
Only issue is he had to censor himself so it wasn't the strongest performance. Too bad. Dude drops some decent bars.
You betta have left Despot for RTJ 1-3 lololoolol
How had you not heard of rtj in 2016? This makes no sense. How could you know el-p and not killer Mike? How did this happen?
EL-P is a savage.
Mason Butterfield damn right
+Mason Butterfield El-P and Rick and Morty? Did we just become best friends?
Did you become best friends?
MitchMBowring1 Ricky And Morty is gay as fuck.
He is but that part in this was messed up :(
"i play the corners like a rook on a chessboard" sick line.
El-P has always been himself and never cater to the trend and end result he is ahead of his time. And glad he Met his soulmate killer Mike!
How far run the jewels have come! Still on of my all time favourite live sets I seen a few years back.
shoulda got danny brown up in there and performed oh hail no with exquire and el
" I got so rich I burned bridges to keep the stove lit"- Despot.
" pockets on rogain I balled out of control" - Despot
He kills it
How'd that little guy get on such a high horse
told them to write coming soon on my tombstone...
STILL hasn't dropped the album. Goddamnit Alec haha.
They should've performed "Tougher Colder Killer", that would've been too crazy
Wow! I have such good memories of this. It’s really early in the morning when we did this. I’m not even sure if we slept more than 3 hours. But after we went to this amazing biscuit place in Seattle. Some of the best times of my life so far.
RAP Music and Good Kid Maad City came out around the same time. The best of both coasts haven't stopped since.
killer mike merked that shit really hard. props to that dude
This is some inspiring shit. I'm just getting really into hiphop and feel like I've missed out all these years.
Lee S hell ya you did, o well tho
Lee S hell ya you did, o well tho
Lee S Go back and listen to every artist and album from the Definitive Jux days. That and Rhymesayers circa 2000 - 2009 will be enough to get you started.
+Dylan Grabowski I'd recommend going even further back to Company Flow around '97.
yea its a shame how many these kids ride RTJ and EL have no idea about Funcrusher Plus...Mr Lif the song Patriotism from soundbombing 2!
RAP is still alive and healthy :)
+Pedro Gomes damn straight!
Thank God
"looks like I picked the wrong week to stop sniffin glue" 😂
I agree. The first time I saw a Despot interview I didn't believe it was the same guy who did Home Sickness. I actually felt sorry for him and thought maybe El P put him on as part of a Sheltered Workplace community service project. But he does just get better with every song. He'll be around for a long time. He may only drop 3 albums in 30 years, but they'll be dope albums.
Bruh despot's deadpan shit is hysterical lmao
This is one of the best live performances of all time.
Despot is the George RR Martin of rap. Still waiting on that LP.
"got this flip phone and some work in the jeans, that's hot pockets"
It's so rad to watch El-P watch Mike perform. This is a real intimate setting.
For some reason,my monthly contributions to KEXP are paid even when I have a negative balance in my checking account. And I like it. I will happily pay the fee to keep this going.
I wish Danny Brown was there
Kool AD and HEEMS
Why
@@WEF2030SLAVE Huzzah's remix has him in it and his verse is pretty good too
Despot fukin shows pure talent here and Ratatat's beat is pure disgusting!!
Mad love to the Funkcrusher - Legendary stuff!
Peace
Hells yeah
Despot: album please...?
Ratatat beats are always dope. Despot and Ratatat are a match made in heaven.
Ten years later.....
Album still ain't come yet.
I love El-P,not only is he great at what he does but he's a right joker.
So cool
What a great bunch of guys!! Holy fuck. Where are they in my everyday world??
Why have i just now found this? big fan of all these geniuses!
man I was so excited I had to show my son 'see kid, Red-heads can be fresh and not just evil villains on cartoons." He has hope now.
2024 and Despot still hasn't dropped
that ginger kid can rap, also can grow a beard, that's awesome!
now if only he'd release a fucking album.
Yeah guys takes for ever to release an Album
Waiting ten years for his Album to drop....
Patiently waiting for 5, 10, 15 years...but i will wait patiently
Probably ain't happening
despot is high af all the time
Still come back to this just to watch eXquire have to stumble through Huzzah "CLEAN" lmao.
I thought eXquire was high until Killer Mike came out. I've never seen a performance so good and so funny at the same time.
Strong crew. El-P and Killer Mike just kill it.
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉line par congratulations 🎉👏
i*m just seeing this...damn 2020
el-p was so blunted and still slayed haha
this host is the man . . great vibe and loves the music.
Watching in 2023 and still waiting for that Despot record
Aye im here from that new billy woods joint despot went crazy🔥
Luv u guys...RTJ salute..u open up door
5:34 he trips. He's so awkward but honestly, the world isn't ready for Despot. He makes quality music it's the lack of motivation that people won't handle from him. He's smart. He knows damn well if he makes a song it's huge. That career will maybe always be there for him.
Anyway. Good ear, man. You are correct. Despot also said that.
If you've lived in Seattle and seen this fellow interview Deerhoof...it gets more hilarious. But this is a gem. Everyone was a class act.
6 years later and still no Despot album
7 now haha
@@pjoffner3364 8 now lol
I think we'll actually wait 'til 2043 lol
“Getting birds on the arm like ghost face” 🔥🔥🔥
really disappointing to see these artists censored
Imagine killer mike and cannibal ox
Holy shit that would be dope as hell
HIS VOICE ON IRON GALAXY
Would not object to a DJ Critical Hype -type mashup album of Killer Mike vocals over older El-P beats!
It's nice to hear them use the word rap. It always seems like a nerd taboo to say that word I always revert to "hip-hop"
They're different. Like Country and Western. Or maybe one is the container in which the other resides like "Art" versus "Music".
"it's like a fresh start of a newwww world.... to go home..". x10
X30
here we are in 2022, despot has more tv shows than albums.
i was rolling at the despot intro when El-P went 'yeeaaaah go despit!!'
All these rappers are so damn good.
If you ever tried to censor yourself on the fly live, you'd know what eXquire was going through.
Thank you.
The smirk when Despot realizes he let a "fuck" slip. That would be tough, especially when it's part of the rhyme.
yeah man out must be super tough to edit yourself on the fly when you've learnt the rhymes it would Just come naturally to say the curse words with out any thought
+Ade Naas *it
you can tell all these dudes like rapping around each other
good vibes
That House of Bricks beat sounds so good, Ratatat killed it. Still waiting on that Despot album…
You know when a dude show up with a wood hat he gonna kill it
poets at their finest!
Dig that Despot track. Line up is beyond sick.
Great!
Need a Despot album bad.
Still do
Dank
awesome thank you
despot album...pppllleeeaaassseeee
Love the rap fan hat in the backround
So who's El's backing dude??? I've seen him for so long, but never knew who he was...
When the fuck is Despot going to release his album? Been waiting since the Def Jux days, haha.
Despot for president
The album that song is on came out this year, and it's amazing.
El-P better than ever..his albums were always pure gold, but cancer4cure is a whole nother level.
The way music, text and his rapin work together is just art. If you haven`t bought it yet, atleast listen to it..not singel tracks, but the whole thing.
I have had the pleasure of meeting & seeing all of these gentlemen perform all of these songs and many, many more live in 2012. 🙌🏻 That was before Run the Jewels & Mike & El-p already made tons of songs & beats together. So, forming a group together was a no-brainer. I have been to MANY shows in my day & I cannot deny that their show, in Cleveland @ the Grog Shop, was the best, most energetic, fun & incredible show that I have seen in my whole life. These guys are so talented & it is so easy to see how much they love their craft & each other. I have met quite a few celebrities, but I have never been star struck the way I was when I met Jamie & especially Mike. Cancer 4 Cure & R.A.P Music were the sound track to my entire 2012. Mr. Mf'in Esquire was incredibly cool, extremely drunk, and let me wear his chain for many pictures with him! 🤣 I love these guys so much & although I haven't yet had the opportunity, I WILL see Run the Jewels live & I have no doubt it will be equally as mindblowing, if not even more. I hope to be able to see them at a venue similar to the Grog Shop as well. It is a small, very personal, up close venue where the raised stage is not very high. So, you are so close to the talent & it feels very personal, almost like a jam sesh that you are just hanging out for. If anybody in the midwest has a band that they love stopping by the Grog Shop in Cleveland - you absolutely MUST go!! ... Alright, I think I'm finally done blabbering on. Sorry it's so long, I just cannot express enough how incredible & talented I think these guys are! They have gained a lot of fans & respect as Run the Jewels. However, I still feel that they are extremely underrated & under-appreciated give the amount of talent, charisma, & knowledge they have & not too mention how they have gone above & beyond paying their dues to those that came before them. So much love for KM & EP!
Despot looks and sounds nothing like a rapper... until he raps. So underrated, love this guy! Hope he has an album coming soon so he can blow up. For now, I'll take him guesting with El, MMF, Danny B etc.
despot album dropping this year!
Holy shit Despot and El-P....
Despot not releasing an album is a tragedy
100%
Howd that little guy get on such a high horse is such a great line haha
Never knew despot was so short
DOPE ASS MUSIC!
My peer bro jay doob and king tim
Des-POT kilt it 😎😎😎
eXquire looking like Brother J. Word to the mother land you sizziessss!!!
2019. I call window seat on the mothership.
This is the next shit...Its good to see NY mcs doing there thing !!! Killer Mike is the truth good to see him with this company...
Nobody:
One random nigga in the background with an Optimus Prime mask: *vibin*
Look out for that Despot album dropping next year.
Censorship is so funny. Can't say "shit" but can say "orgy"???
I don't see how bitch is any better than shit but you hear it every line during eXquire's performance.
Mutantcy1992 orgys original term meant a drinking party if i remember correctly and it can also mean overabundance
KtFKermie orgy is just a gateway to nothing good for kids
+KtFKermie
Orgy has Latin roots, a culmination of poly (multiple) and orgasms (nut busting).
That kind of censorship is from America, In france and Europe we dont have that kind of shit but we have to see video with the American Censorship on youtube....CZcams have to make a zoning with censorship for USA (if the puritans like that) but full video for the rest of the world ;) Fooking censorship ;)
seattle must be a pretty happening place for music
But the majority of the people in this video are from New York. El-P, Despot, and Mr. Muthafuckin' eXquire.
Rick Davis--It certainly is. As great as the grunge movement was, Seattle has an incredible music scene.
