BEST NEW SONGS: DJ SHADOW - NOBODY SPEAK FEAT. RUN THE JEWELS

5/10/16

If you’re late on Run The Jewels, that’s ok. If you’re late on DJ Shadow, that’s okay too. Dude is pretty obscure, after all. Just don’t be late on their latest collaboration, “Nobody Speak.”

Run The Jewels have quickly become hip hop royalty while slinging rhymes over blistering, electro-heavy beats. The legendary DJ Shadow cooks up something completely different for them here. “Nobody Speaks” is all brass and bravado, and the change of scenery suits El-P and Killer Mike just fine. As the first single off DJ Shadow’s upcoming The Mountain Will Fall, the song acts as a grand introduction of sorts.

As always, RTJ is on point and ruthless lyrically and DJ Shadow delivers the goods as only he can. If you’re familiar with either parties work, you know the awesomeness that awaits you. If you’re new to both, buckle up. You’re in for a hell of a ride.

 

DJ SHADOW - NOBODY SPEAK (FT. RUN THE JEWELS)

The Mountain Will Fall is out June 24th on Mass Appeal. We’ll leave you with the lyrics to “Nobody Speak”:

Picture this
I'm a bag of dicks
Put me to your lips
I am sick
I will punch a baby bear in his shit
Give me lip
I'ma send you to the yard, get a stick, make a switch
I can end a conversation real quick

I am crack
I ain't lying kick a lion in his crack
I'm the shit, I will fall off in your crib, take a shit
Pinch your momma on the booty, kick your dog, fuck your bitch
Fat boy dressed up like he's Santa and took pictures with your kids

We the best
We will cut a frowny face in your chest, little wench
I'm unmentionably fresh, I'm a mensch, get correct
I will walk into a court while erect, screaming "Yes!
I am guilty motherfuckers, I am death."

Hey, you wanna hear a good joke?

Nobody speak, nobody get choked

Get running
Start pumping your bunions, I'm coming
I'm the dumbest, who flamethrow your function to Funyuns
Flame your crew quicker than Trump fucks his youngest
Now face the flame fuckers your fame and fate's done with

I rob Charlie Brown, Peppermint Patty, Linus and Lucy
Put coke in the doobie roll woolies to smoke with Snoopy
I still remain that dick grabbing slacker that spit a loogie
Cause the tolda of the toolie'll murder you friggin' Moolies
Fuck outta here, yeah

Nobody speak, nobody get choked, hey! [x2]
Nobody speak
Nobody speak

Only facts I will shoot a
Baby duck if it quacks, with a Ruger
Top billin', come cops and villainous shots is blocked, shipped out, and bought, and you're feeling it
El-P killing it, Killer Mike killing shit

What more can I say? We top dealing it
Valiant without villiany
Viciously file victory
Burn towns and villages
Burning looting and pillaging

Murderers try to hurt us we curse them and all their children
I just want the bread and bologna bundles to tuck away
I don't work for free, I am barely giving a fuck away

So tell baby Johnny and Mommy to get the fuck away
Heyyo here's a gun son now run get it to gutterway
Live to shoot another day
