Doesn’t seem like this place really like RTJ like that anymore.
When RTJ2 dropped, they were the darlings of the music forumsphere.
They still are

Jun 9, 2022rtj2 is the only album worth ur time
Jun 9, 2022Seems like the opinion around Killer Mike started to change too with some of his political stuff happening

John MauveTheir most enjoyable full length imo

Jun 9, 2022I liked it a lot at release but I don't come back to it. RTJ1-3 are still amazing imo.

krishna boundits def because of their audience. they have a really weird career trajectory where these both kinda semi-underground or niche dudes formed a duo and suddenly became reddit celebrities. El-P was like basically backpacker rap and then after RTJ he's doing Rick & Morty promos on Adult Swim. all the brand deals like that + leaning into the weird white twitter/reddit audience hurt their public image a lot on KTT and a few other music circles. you have a lot of fans of them who treat them the same way as eminem with the "i don't like hip hop but these guys are really saying some real s***!!" and thats def rubbed onto how people view them not vs like 8 years ago
summed it up perfectly
can’t take em seriously anymore after killer mike basically outed himself a radlib either, it took a lotta the punch out of his bars for me
Jun 10, 2022RTJ just kinda corny, it sounds like rap for white people I can’t explain it and I used to LOVE RTJ2

There’s a lot of cognitive dissonance in rap in general but it’s weird af hearing el-p & killer mike try to make these like tracks about shooting corporate people and racial reckoning and then like giving rights of their music to Pepsi commercials and doing adult swim Rick & morty bumpers
i def understand artists gotta eat and I don’t blame people for doing business but the context of their music and audience is really skewed and weird now. That said RTJ2 is still amazing - Jun 10, 2022!https://youtu.be/GG8LcqR1kqw

One of the best of not the best on his career. And he’s a hip hop legend so that’s saying something

Jun 10, 2022I think the fans just got used to RTJ's high standard and quality of music that they don't get impressed anymore.
Their output is still far above the average rappers
Jun 10, 2022Z 326S*** is weird tbh
All their albums are good to great but for some reason they are considered corny now or some s***

Doesn’t Mike cape for the NRA too?
No.
He’s friends with Colion Noir - The Black host who was working for the NRA at the time and they finally did an interview before he left the NRA.
Mike “capes” for NAAGA if anything.
I’m not trying to correct anyone because I’m honestly not into that it’s a waste of time, but in the name of transparency and truth Mike & El have been working for Adult Swim waaaayyy before RTJ was even a thing.. Mike was literally on “Frisky Dingo” back in 2006
