Run the Jewels’ music inspired by d**k jokes

Run the Jewels have admitted they get lyric inspiration from d*** jokes.
The popular hip-hop supergroup – comprised of Killer Mike and EI-P – often find the themes for their songs after sharing crude jokes with one and other.
Producer El-P, 41 – whose real name is Jaime Meline – told NME magazine: "I’m not doing my job unless I can look over at Mike and he literally shakes his head in his hands and says, ‘What the f*** did you just say?’"
Mike added: "When you’re sitting at a table and you hear a guy say, ‘I’ve got a unicorn horn for a c***’, to me that’s when you walk out of the room like, ‘yo, I got to step it up!’ "The imagination it takes to come up with something like that! I still think of the moment he said that and chuckle."
Mike, also 41, says being open to nonsense is what makes their records represent the "full human experience".
He explained: "I’ve seen people question, ‘How can you guys be funny, not-give-a-s***, braggedy-brag rap, and then a few [songs] behind that have thoughts, concerns and social commentary?’ It amazes me, because I’m like, I thought that was the full human experience! If you hang out with your friends through the course of a day, you guys are going to laugh, talk s***, get drunk, remember some s*** you didn’t like, fight, make up, talk about how f***ed up politics is, get high … To me, our records are about the full human experience."
Meanwhile, the American rappers have shared their opinion on Donald Trump taking over as President of the United States.
EI-P admits that while it is "deadly and dangerous", he is also "morbidly amused" that the Republican will be in power at The White House.
He said: "As a guy who grew up on dystopian science fiction you can’t help but be morbidly amused. It’s scary but hilarious, in a f***ed-up way. It’s the folly of man. It’s also incredibly dangerous and deadly. The stakes themselves make the gallows humour that much more potent. But that’s me. If I had an executioner’s gun to the back of my head and he farted, I’d laugh."
Mike added: "I’ve watched every inauguration since Reagan. But this is the first time the President is gonna be sitting there tweeting: ‘I told y’all, fools.’"
