El-P and Killer Mike

I love that these guys made their video into an action movie, it's so testosterone-y.


When I watched this video, Peter DeLuise during the 21 Jump Street came to mind.



El-P and Killer Mike's Run The Jewels managed to get a lot of attention even when its release coincided with Jay-Z's new album.


El-P and Killer Mike are giving away Run The Jewels for free here.

Ten Music Videos featuring Chains

1. Jeru The Damaja - "Come Clean" 1993  *This is another one of those good beats.



2. EPMD - "You Gots To Chill" 1988  *I love that this video takes place in an ice factory, can't get more chill than that.



3. Rocky Rivera feat. Davinci - "SF City Retrospect" 2011  *Her verse is the best part of this song by far, it starts at 1:26.



4. Billy Idol - "White Wedding" 1982  *One of the guys has chains on his black outfit, no surprise really. I like the part when Billy unwinds his scarf while looking at the camera, followed by a pout.



 5. Raekwon - "Incarcerated Scarfaces" 1995  *Most of these dudes are wearing chains, one of them even has to show off how big his chain is by putting it in his mouth!



6. When Saints Go Machine feat. Killer Mike - "Love And Respect" 2013  *It's funny that this dude is wearing a chain on the outside even when he is on the run. What if shit got crazy and he had to maneuver quickly and he lost it? I like the parts without Killer Mike the most.



7. Janet Jackson - "Miss You Much" 1990  *Janet has a chain hanging from her vest thingy.



8. Onyx - "Slam" 1993  *This band contains Fredro Starr, the thuggy troublemaker from Save The Last Dance. The energy displayed by these guys in this video is frightening.



9. Method Man and Redman - "Da Rockwilder" 1999  * I still like Method Man even though he is wearing white raver gloves and one of those weird hats with long dangly things. It's so cute when they walk together.



10. LL Cool J - "I'm Bad" 1987  *"I'm notorious, I'll crush you like a jelly bean" -LL Cool J (tough guy)
