f you're a rapper and taking on the Christmas jingle, you've got a
lot to live up to. Run-DMC's "Christmas in Hollis" for one, and their
"Christmas Is" for another. There's "Merry Muthaf---in' Xmas" by Eazy-E
and "Christmas in Harlem" from Kanye West featuring Big Sean, Pusha T
and Snoop Dogg's "Santa Claus Goes Straight to the Ghetto" too.
El-P and Miller Mike, collectively known as
Run The Jewels,
drop their own Christmas rap and it's not exactly jolly. "A Christmas
Fucking Miracle" is a guitar-heavy street rap that focuses more on hard
knocks than sipping eggnog.
In the visuals directed by Joey Garfield, Killer Mike plays Ebenezer
Scrooge and Santa Claus to El-P's Tiny Tim and Christmas Elf. Hey, who
says Santa Claus
isn't black?
Their self-titled LP is out Jan. 14, 2014. You can cop
