So wow, this is a thing that is happening. What started as a joke kickstarter campaign quickly turned serious. Raising more than $ 60,000 the internet was able to in effect force a remix album of Run The Jewels’ hardcore hip-hop album using cat sounds.I was of coarse shocked , when I first read this. Do cats even makes sounds ? I had to ask myself because in my personal experience it’s hard as hell to get a cat to make noise. This surely can’t be a thing that is happening. So I let a few months pass and lo and behold Meow the Jewels is released and features quite an impressive list of producers. You have El-P (of coarse), Just Blaze, Prince Paul, The Alchemist, and Dan the Automator just to name a few.
So when I saw the list of producers this immediately peaked my interest even more than the initial announcement. These are all serious top level producers who always step up with amazing instrumentals. So it was weird to see them featured on a “joke” remix album. So I’m going to have to clear up what might be a misconception. Meow the Jewels is a serious album, with a joke premise.
The instrumentals are winding intense, strange, and detailed.These sounds are stretched , shrunk, pitch shifted, and distorted to the point that you are not even sure where the cats sounds start and the synths begin. I really don’t want to over analyze this album because this is literally the same lyrics as the RTJ2 which was released late last year. I will warn if you haven’t heard Run The Jewels 2 you should listen to that before you listen to Meow the Jewels.
