Two-man rap darling Run The Jewels continue their fantastic run with the video for “Oh My Darling (Don’t Cry),” the 2nd single from their much-acclaimed Run The Jewels 2, the follow-up to their similarly much-acclaimed Run The Jewels.
There isn’t much more to say about Run The Jewels except for: dope beats, ill lyrics, stylish delivery, high energy and enjoyable videos. What more could a 2014 rap fan want? Veterans El-P and Killer Mike have been laying down the rap gauntlet ever since their unexpected Run The Jewels collaboration first came to light in 2013, and luckily, the deserved hype hasn’t slowed down at all.
The previous showing from their latest full length, Run The Jewels 2 (their album titles are not indicative of a lack of creativity, rather, are simply as no-nonsense as they are), was the infectious “Blockbuster Night Part I,” with a gloriously bizarre video to match. “Oh My Darling (Don’t Cry)” continues with frantically fun Timothy Saccenti-directed visuals.
Run The Jewels 2 can be purchased anywhere you purchase music, and in fact, should absolutely be purchased, particularly by those who complain about the lack of “real” hip hop music in the world. Because even though “real hip hop” doesn’t mean anything, we know what you mean, and it’s here, and it’s dope, and supporting it is the right thing to do. Isn’t it? (Yes. The answer is yes.)
