They are the fucking best. Three consecutive albums of straight fire. I live for El-P beats.

[Seven]

They are not the best at hip hop, lol
Not even close!

[Inkblades]

To you, maybe. I'd say they have easily been the best hip-hop duo of the last few years.

2. Radiohead - A moon shaped pool
3. Run the Jewels - RTJ3

5. Get Well Soon - Love
6. Gojira - Magma
7. Gogo Penguin - Man made object
