Run The Jewels' New Video Pits Man Vs. Cop
In an aggressive response to the wave of national attention, RTJs new video off of their (imo) insanely good release last year confronts the conflict front and center.
Director AG Rojas explains that the video actually means to work against violence:
"The film begins and it feels like they have been fighting for days, they’re exhausted, not a single punch is thrown, their violence is communicated through clumsy, raw emotion. They've already fought their ways past their judgements and learned hatred toward one another. Our goal was to highlight the futility of the violence, not celebrate it."
