Sunday Oldskool Flashback: A Christmas F***ing Miracle

This week, we look back at a simpler time when Run the Jewels 2 released in their first album in February of 2015. Sam and Cray dig into a track off their first album in this episode. Killer Mike and El-P get after corruption, commercialism, idols, and demonic forces (really!) in “A Christmas F***ing Miracle.” The duo also beef some with the title and the lukewarm calls to worship, but we love the song, which is more evidence that Killer Mike gets it.

- You can stream two pre-release tracks off of the new RTJ album before it drops on October 27
- Here’s that killer profile on Mike, with a lot of discussion of his relationship to the faith
- If you insist on paying El-P to drop cat sounds into their first album, here’s the Kickstarter for “Meow the Jewels”

Sunday Oldskool Episode 80: Logic’s Secret
Sam and Cray cover a couple of tracks from Logic’s new album, The Incredible True Story . With some help from quotes he’s given, we try to parse out his worldview, which veers somewhere between positive thinking and the word-faith movement.

Sunday Oldskool Episode 81: Should Christians Be Coke (Rap) Heads?
Pusha T has a new mixtape/album thing out entitled Darkest Before Dawn, and true to his character, it’s mostly about dealing drugs and being a bad dude. We discuss whether we should enjoy an artist so thoroughly committed to a kingpin persona (we do), or be more wary of the villainous qualities in his music.
