The melding of multiple minds has proven to be a testing tribulation in the hip-hop landscape, as album cycles have welcomed a plethora of mix and match combinations of collaborators trying their hand at melding influences and individual artistic visions into something greater, yet to no avail. Yet from this new and improved approach and formula, rises from the ashes one of hip-hops front runners, Run The Jewels. The dynamic duo comprises Atlanta native, Killer Mike, and Brooklyn’s own El-P, both no strangers to wearing the eccentric colours of each distinctive roots on their shoulders. This is no less the case on the newest installment of the long-standing series of self-titled albums, ‘RTJ4’, as the two mix their identities of brilliance and eccentric flavours for yet another haphazard and exhilarating sound. Only on this occasion, the two seem to strike particularly close to home with an overarching and omnipresent tendency to unapologetically criticise corrupt societal standards that continue to plague the modern world.
The introductory track ‘yankee and the brave (ep. 4)’ manages to encapsulate the core workings of the duo into such a minute and microsized framework. Announcing their arrival as the two aforementioned, nondescript figures, the sentiment of the song is largely representative of both Mike’s and El-P’s outer influences and regional iconography. This same focus of capturing their core appeal from the album's opening moments bleeds into every aspect of the song. The bold, warped, invasive synths that are matched with thunderous percussion act as the attention-grabbing flair RTJ have become synonymous with. Morphing the track into a chaotic and decrepit landscape the instrumental brings forth a sense of sustained tension and distress that can only be described as a pure shot of instrumental adrenaline. Mike and El-P trade verses back and forth as the two go toe to toe with equally intimidating, gritty, and authoritative verses. A teaser of the sublime performances welcomed on the album.
Every track thereafter manages to capture the same raw insanity and sheer dystopian flavour that the two seamlessly captivate time and time again. ‘ooh la la’ brings forth the regal additives of classy, yet piercing piano keys, a top scratchy and zany manipulated vocal refrains. The confrontational instrumental is only bolstered by the equally gritty and authoritative presence of El-P and Mike, who, despite working with a similar set of tools from the trac

discernibility >
If a guy isn’t very confident in themselves it’s often seen as an unattractive quality. However self-assertion and entitlement in similar situations has an even worse effect.
Are there any good examples of confidence that women like seeing in a guy that don’t set alarms or red flags? Or i guess are there any absolute red flags or no-no’s in this respect?
From the book "Conqueror's Legacy".
