WATCH: Killer Mike Addresses Ferguson Indictment Ruling at St. Louis Run The Jewels Tour Stop: "These Motherf**kers Got Me Today"
Last night (Nov. 24), a grand jury in Ferguson, Missouri, decided not to indict police officer Darren Wilson in the highly politicized death of the unarmed teenager Michael Brown. The decision, while not wholly surprising, sent shockwaves throughout the country and the music community.

Run The Jewels Play Awful EMTs In "Blockbuster Night, Pt. 1" Music Video [WATCH]
Hip-hop duo Run The Jewels have shared the music video for their single "Blockbuster Night, Pt. 1," which you can check out below. The Trevor Kane-directed clip casts El-P and Killer Mike as EMTs during a nightshift down in Mike's hometown of Atlanta, though they appear to be much better at rapping than saving people's lives (they even go so far as to flip off an old man who's clearly having a heart attack).

Fun Fun Fun Fest was just that Saturday, Nov. 8, when El-P and Mark Kozelek met prior to sets by Run the Jewels and Sun Kil Moon. Here was the encounter from El-P's perspective, according to Stereogum: "So I introduced myself and said, 'Hey, I'm a fan. We're the guys that are going to be interrupting your set today with how f--king loud our crowd is.' [...] And he said, 'What's your name?' And I said, 'Run the Jewels,' and — I swear to God — he said, 'Suck my d--k, Run the Jewels.' And I said, 'Suck my d--k, Sun Kil Moon.' And I'm actually a fan of this dude's record."

'Run the Jewels 2' Review: Spencer Tweedy Drops Praise for Hip-Hop Album
Spencer Tweedy — son of Wilco's Jeff — recently participated in a musicians-review-musicians project for The Talkhouse, dropping expletive-laden praise for hip-hop's hottest album. He chose to take a close look at Killer Mike and El-P's modern hip-hop classic "Run the Jewels 2," and if that sounds like an odd selection, the intro is an even bigger curveball. "Neil Young is an out-of-touch motherf----r," the review begins. After some lengthy Young-centric misdirection, Tweedy arrives at his point: Run the Jewels is the antithesis to Young. They are actually edgy. -
