In addition to being the most recent entry in my Terrible Phone Photos from Shows series, that Run the Jewels concert was straight-up terrific. We were the 12th stop on their tour and those dudes were stoked like it was the 3rd night. Killer Mike danced his ass off and El-P was freaking funny with his between song stage banter. It was cool to see them give DJ Trackstar (“we’re a rap group so you know we have a DJ!“) some time to scratch, too.
The whole set was just damn cool. I’m close to being aged out of shows, especially when they’re out of town, so I’m glad I got this one in.
If you’re a Rap Fan and you haven’t done it yet, I recommend the free (As in beer) download of Run the Jewels 2. For some reason this album is getting the big time Hype Treatment and I know that can turn people off. Run the Jewels 2 deserves it. Check it out.
