Run The Jewels Give Drug Advice To Kids
In the first episode for their new web series, Barbershop Talk, Run The Jewels welcomes a group of kids as their first guests. Set in Killer Mike's Atlanta barbershop, the rap duo has a very interesting, but perhaps necessary political conversation with the young kids.
The topics range from potential female presidents, to rapper's social responsibility and marijuana usage, and the young ones share some interesting opinions. It's interesting to see how things that are going on in the country affect the youth and their outlook on life. When asked for their opinion on the criminal repercussions of non-violent drugs, one young boy said people "should get rehab because they aren't doing anything bad" and "didn't do anything to hurt the police." As for rappers, the little kids believe that rappers have a responsibility to say positive things in their songs.
Although they're discussing important issues, Killer Mike and El-P keep the conversation light as they joke with the kids about whether or not girls are stronger and/or smarter than boys and if the next female president will be one of the kid's mom.
"If you ever indulge, I don't want you to be underage and I want you to be responsible," says Killer Mike as RTJ close out the segment. Watch the entire clip above.
It's amazing that RTJ is giving back to the kids. Last month, they appeared as guests on Rookie's Ask A Grown Man, where they gave love advice to teenage girls from all over the country.
