How did Run The Jewels become associated so heavily with reddit on /mu/?
El-P is a legend who is respected by every hip-hop fan since the 90s when he was releasing solo albums and also doing production for masterpieces like Funcrusher Plus, Little Johnny From The Hospitul, and of course The Cold Vein (one of the greatest hip-hop albums ever made, undeniably).
No hip-hop fan in their right mind would deny El-P's production/rapping/lyrical talent (>inb4 cherrypicked lyrics like the "field of dicks" one). Killer Mike's solo album R.A.P. Muzik is amazing as well (and it's basically a Run The Jewels album without El-P rapping because El-P produced the whole thing, but Killer MIke is still a fantastic rapper/lyricist).
The first Run The Jewels album was very positively received here, but threads about it rarely got more than 100 replies. Then Pitchfork gave RTJ2 AOTY and suddenly we get hundreds of threads about them, and this whole meme develops that they are a "reddit" band.
News flash: Reddit loves literally all the same shit that /mu/ does. Like for example, Reddit loves Radiohead way more than RTJ, so how did RTJ become the "reddit" group?
Does P4K really have that much influence on this board? If so that's pathetic.

Because it's christmas so the only people here are miserable fucks with no life (yes, like me), so there's a disproportionate amount of pathetic pieces of shit here right now.

The answer to this question is because ppl on /mu/ know practically nothing of hip hop before 2010

I'd rather spend the night in jail than spend the night at a Run the Jewels show.

Also, the whole Bernie Sanders debacle.
