Run The Jewels “Ooh LA LA” feat. Greg Nice & DJ Premier (Official Music Video)
RTJ4 out now – https://lnk.to/getRTJ4
Official music video for “Ooh LA LA” from RTJ4, featuring Greg Nice & DJ Premier.
we shot this video only a few weeks before the pandemic hit with no clue as to what the future held. the fact that we got the chance to do it is damn near miraculous in hindsight.
in conceptualizing the video with our friends Brian and Vanessa Beletic we imagined the world on the day that the age old struggle of class was finally over. a day that humanity, empathy and community were victorious over the forces that would separate us based on arbitrary systems created by man.
this video is a fantasy of waking up on a day that there is no monetary system, no dividing line, no false construct to tell our fellow man that they are less or more than anyone else. not that people are without but that the whole meaning of money has vanished. that we have somehow solved our self created caste system and can now start fresh with love, hope and celebration. its a dream of humanity’s V-DAY… and the party we know would pop off.
love, RTJ
ps: we’d like to thank everyone who busted their ass to make this happen from directors Brian and Vanessa Beletic to line producer Cat Restrepo to editor Biff Butler to the wonderful folks at The Mill who handled post production as well as everyone involved in shooting, prepping and executing this video. you guys gave us so much of your energy and talent during this crazy fucking time to make it all come together and we are truly grateful.

I love these guys. I have the second and third albums on vinyl still need to get the fourth one. That said I like this song cuz it has regular beats it's not the normal electro stuff that they usually have I would really like to hear them wrapping over regular hip hop beats instead of the electronic stuff but I do love you
as a disabled person who loves RTJ for the feeling of empowerment they give off i gotta say they fucking suck ass now in my book. too bad since they are the definitive music of our generation, and it looks like this generation is just as fucking ignorant as the last one. Still saying people are slurs that still, to this day, put an undue burden of proving a life is worth living. Did you know they forced Do Not Resuscitate bands on intellectually disabled people who didnt consent so if they went in for covid treatment they know to not treat them "to save treatment for a more worthy life."
These assholes pretend to be the voice of the voiceless when saying slurs they dont own, talking about being evil dick bags, and somehow im supposed to walk away feeling like they are fighting for those who cannot fight themselves.
Thought gun fist position was death to power, not death to empowerment.
"You hit this, bitch it'll retard your baby"
"full retard"
"A new addition to the art of the old code
That's fully retarded and put a part in your bold dome (Ay, El)"
I love this video because fr if just one city did this and threw they money away like it was just the paper it is….we could take our country back. #fightthepower#fxckthesystem
What the heck are they talking about? Still sick, but
عظمه والله يبني
first of all, fuck the fucking law
how does this not have more views? Shocking where today's generation's eyes and ears are …

The burning of paper money while wearing gold chains has strong libertarian implications…
I thought that was James Corden for a hot second

Discovered this track at a party on a dj set… Crowd went crazy, this is pure fire
Real classy jk
We are almost at that cash burning moment.
Ozark
Vacation friends brought me here
No caps this what we need to do fuck the system
HELL YEAH! JOKER STYLE
I had to listen 100 times before I heard the "oh shit" at 0:30 lol
Best hip hop tune of the last few years
Uh, hey (Oh, shit)
Ooh, la la, ah, oui oui
Ooh, la la, ah, oui oui (Hey)
Ooh, la la, ah, oui oui (Hey)
Ooh, la la, ah, oui oui (Let's go)
Ooh, la la, ah, oui oui (Go, go, go, go)
Ooh, la la, ah, oui oui (Go, go, go)
Ooh, la la, ah, oui oui
Ooh, la la
Lookin' for Ms like I lost a friend
Jump out of my bed like, "Where the bread"
You gon' hold a egg, waiter bring the check
When we talk, we Kalashnikov, keep us in your thoughts
Fully dressed at the crack of dawn, weapons letting off
I can hear them from the block, see them creeping through the fog
Season's greetings, now feeding season can start, oh my God
Look alive, lookin' like I live life on the crooked line
Doin' fine, you want maximum stupid, I am the guy
First of all, fuck the fuckin' law, we is fuckin' raw
Steak tartare, oysters on the half-shell, sushi bar
Life a bitch, and the pussy fish, still fucked her raw
I'm a dog, I'm a dirty dog, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
Ol' Dirty Bastard, go in your jaw, shimmy, shimmy, ya
Got the semi in the hemi, go and gimme, gimme, ya
Pugilistic, my linguistics are Jeru the Damaja
And I rap it pornographic, bitch, set up the camera
Ooh, la la, ah, oui oui (Hey)
Ooh, la la, ah, oui oui (Ah, oui oui)
Ooh, la la, ah, oui oui
Ooh, la la, ah, oui oui (Got some weed, got some weed)
Ooh, la la, ah, oui oui (Got some weed, got some, ayy)
Ooh, la la, ah, oui oui
Ooh, la la, ah, oui oui (I need a bottle of Moët, ho, come on)
Ooh, la la, ah, oui oui (Garcon)
You covet disruption, I got you covered, I'm bustin'
My brother's a runner, he's crushin', it's no discussion
I used to be munchkin, I wasn't 'posed to be nothin'
Y'all fuckers corrupted, or up to somethin disgustin'
My pockets are plump for the season, I love to cuff 'em
I'm afraid of nothin' but nothin', the same as somethin'
Warmongers are dumpin' a pointed click at your pumpkin (Look out)
You're somethin' scrumptious, so put your kids in the oven
Fuck a king or queen and all of their loyal subjects
I'll pull my penis out and I piss on their shoes in public
People, we the pirates, the pride of this great republic
No matter what you order, mo'fucker, we're what you're stuck with
I used to love Bruce, but livin' my vida loca
Help me understand, I'm probably more of a Joker
When we usher in chaos, just know that we did it smilin'
Hannibal's on this island, inmates run the asylum
Ooh, la la, ah, oui oui (Hey)
Ooh, la la, ah, oui oui (Hey)
Ooh, la la, ah, oui oui (Hey)
Ooh, la la (DJ, DJ)
Ooh, la la
Ooh, la, la-, la, la
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, la la, ah, oui oui
La, la, la, la, la
Ah, oui, ah, oui, ah
Ah, ah, ah, oui, oui
Don’t ever let this song die
1:45, is that zack de la rocha from Rage against the machine??
If i ever ran for political office, when asked about my positions i would just show this video instead
Damn this is the mood of the era. Iconic!

Shout out to all the little kids that THOUGHT they heard rap before. This is what rap really is.
