    Drove all the way to NYC to see them with Run the Jewels after the pandemic. 100% worth it, one of the best shows I’ve ever been to.

    Tim Commorford is weird to watch though. He kinda hops awkwardly from foot to foot.

      It’s so disappointing to hear Killer Mike spit revolutionary lyrics like in ‘close your eyes’ only to find out IRL he’s into lame shit like black capitalism.

        only to find out IRL he’s into lame shit like black capitalism.

        Does it mean something other than what is here, or did I miss something offensive in skimming through the entry?

        This isn’t one of those lame “now they are the machine” posts is it?

        Yeah. The music still slaps though.

        RATM’s bassist is into some weird fringe right-libertarian stuff too if I recall

        Nobody’s perfect 🤷‍♂️

          • a year after the dissolution of USSR
          • 9 years before the September 11 attacks
          • 15 years before iPhone
          • 24 years before the election of a reality tv entertainer/real estate conman as POTUS
          • China wasn’t a superpower back then
          • EU didn’t exist in its current form
          • Apartheid was still an actuality
          • internet wasn’t omnipresent

      We cannot accurately judge your dedication until you tell us from where you drove to NYC. New Jersey and Anchorage have very different weights here.
