One thing that I think drew me to Faith No More when I was a teenager was how much they all just seemed like a bunch of weirdos. Not like weird-for-weird’s sake weirdos—I could never stand that phony shit—but like people that felt totally free to follow their muse to whatever weird-ass place it wanted to go. I respect that. And it looks like time hasn’t dulled that for them at all. Awesome.

Run the Jewels is great. Like, all-time great. But Killer Mike is goddamn amazing all on his own. This song’s politics are pretty much precisely on point.
And like Mike, I’m glad Reagan’s dead.
