Whoa. Here’s the video for “Close Your Eyes (And Count to Fuck)” by Run The Jewels & Zack de la Rocha. It’s probably the best video of 2015 so far. Mike, El-P, & Zack only appear in the video for a few seconds, but the rest of the video is literally a Black man and a policeman fighting in the middle of the hood. That’s it. In a blatant metaphor for police brutality in America, both combatants look battered and tired. It’s kinda hard to watch but it’s brilliant at the same time. Directed by A.G. Rojas.
