    I only like the original RTJ2. It doesn't really need to exist. You don't really need to listen to this to make your life complete. You DO need to listen to the original RTJ2 to make your life complete. It is a little clever with the cat noises and stuff. It seems like a joke or a meme like "Meow The Jewels coming soon..." and we laugh it off but then it ends up being a real album and itsI only like the original RTJ2. It doesn't really need to exist.

    Whereas the original Run the Jewels 2 was a perfect soundtrack for a night of mayhem, Meow the Jewels is the comedown after all that rabble-rousing.

    Most of the internet’s ideas end up in a wet mess on the kitchen floor, but this one, this one sticks.

    While some tracks unwisely try to replicate the source material's dystopian energy, the best moments come when remixers go blissfully off-script.
