When a film studio announces plans to release a movie about “a group of failed rappers” with the same title as a group of successful rappers, it’s likely the latter will be pissed – and that’s exactly what’s happened.
On Tuesday evening (June 21), The Hollywood Reported announced that Universal had acquired an action-comedy pitch titled Run The Jewels. The publication reports that the film, which is set to be produced by comedian Kevin Hart, “centers on a group of failed rappers who attempt to rob an eccentric hip-hop mogul.”
This prompted a reaction from Run The Jewels’ El-P, who took to Twitter to weigh in on the news.
After learning of the news, one Twitter user proceeded to remind El-P of a tweet that he had sent out in 2013 that read: “4 words: RUN THE JEWELS MOVIE”
A few hours later, RTJ’ Killer Mike took to Twitter to offer his reaction to the news.
With regards to Run The Jewels themselves, Killer Mike recently announced that the duo hopes to have their forthcoming album, Run The Jewels 3, completed within the coming weeks.
“I would like to be finished by July 7th, I’d like to ball on the 4th,” Mike said. “I think we will be done real soon. And people know when we say ‘soon,’ we tryna get it out, we want it out this year.”
I know El-P with his girly boobs didn’t use the word “starve” in a sentence. Killer Mike must be killing Domino’s Noyd, the hamburgler, the Cookie Monster, fat joke, fat joke… Change the groups name to “run the fried foods” already.
Sounds like you have a problem with 1 of 3 things here.
– Either a fat guy stole your Girl
– You can’t make it in the music business
– Your parents sent you to fat camp. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Instead of suing why not ask for RTJ music to play in the movie and during credits licensed and all inclusive with soundtrack budget for El P to score the film RZA style .
