There’s never a bad time to get Run The Jewels’ running commentary on the world, and given the intensity of 2020, RTJ4 was always going to be an imionating listen. El-P and Killer Mike are both on top form here, excoriating in their critique of institutional racism and tight to the metronome with their delivery. Guest spots from the politically active Zack de la Rocha and Mavis Staples add gravitas to two of the album’s most staggering tracks.

ye some great tracks, don't have much else to say. just solid overall.
7/10 -> 3/5
IndianaParkWars Dec 10, 2020
9.6/12

The opening track contains the same energy as "Yeezus" by Kayne West. RTJ is saying that they're angry and they have shit to say. Their albums are typically vulgar and political and this one puts that in your face. And what a better time than 2020 with the civil rights movements and Killer Mike's speech on it.
"Ooh La La" is such a hit. "Legend Has It" was a favorite of mine but this one is up there with my favorites. It's one of those songs that makes you feel badass and makes you want to move. The production is perfect, the lyrics are intelligent, and the refrain is catchy.
"Pulling the Pin" is great and memorable with the legendary Mavis Staples and Josh Homme (of Queens of the Stone Age and Them Crooked Vultures). It's like a QOTSA song with Staples' vocals and RTJ's verses. It's tremendous.
"Ju$t" is an incredible song as well. It is angry and makes a good point in our current racial climate. Systemic racism is embedded in our culture and racist people are honored. "Just like the slave masters on your dollars." We honor these people and put them on paper money or as logos on food or as statues or street names. Yet, they owned human beings and played a role in oppressing BIPOC. It may be "inconsequential", but we need a new slate and some changes.
The biggest problem this album has is its forgettable tracks. After several listens, a lot of the tracks meld into one and don't stand out too well.

ALBUM ARTWORK: Their album names and covers are quite simple. They're always the same thing. RTJ# and their symbol animated differently. But, that's what it is and it works for them. Like "Fetch the Bolt Cutters", the color scheme here is black, gold, and purple (or maybe more pink). It feels powerful and bold. This may be the color scheme of the year. It really works.
Artwork rating: 9/12
