    It's definitely forward-thinking hip-hop music, though I would not say it bares any resemblance whatsoever to dubstep. It's just that, unlike a lot of the older hip-hop, this is less sample-based, and instead rooted more in electronic music, with heavy, synthetic bass and beats. Both Killer Mike and El-P are somewhat veterans in the field of hip-hop. El-P is one of the more left field (and innovative) producers in the genre, and he got his start back in the early 90s with Company Flow. Killer Mike got his start with his guest appearance on Outkast's 2000 album Stankonia. The two teamed up in 2013 under the name Run The Jewels, after El-P produced Killer Mike's excellent 2012 album R.A.P. Music. Whether you dig their sound or not, you cannot deny they represent a move forward for the hip-hop genre. They're hardcore and vulgar as hell, but their sound is just so hard-hitting and unique that it's hard to deny.

    I instantly fell in love with El-P after hearing his Tasmanian Pain Coaster. Damn near one of the most innovative and revolutionary artists I have ever heard in the ENTIRE game of hip hop. But in all seriousness hes so hard to rock out to with a group of homies, hes like mushroom music turn of the century basement-kid. I never had a chance to hit his shows but I dont really know what I would do there anyways, probably just smoke weed and bob my head like im at a Jon Hopkins rave...
    That's in comparison to other artists who make you wanna fuck shit up and kill cops.

    Definitely impressed that New York made this kid.

    Fair enough ;) To be honest I am all about digging the sound (when I do I'm not bothered by vulgarity or bythe artist supposedly being hardcore). I'm not really concerned about the forward movement of the hip hop genre as a whole :p
