Run the Jewels' new music video is a senseless battle between a white cop and an unarmed black man
Killer Mike, of Run the Jewels, has been a powerful and outspoken voice on the subject of police violence over the last year, particularly as protests grew in Ferguson. His music is filled with these same discussions, and now his group’s latest music video is taking it straight on, too. From director A.G. Rojas, the video for “Close Your Eyes (And Count to Fuck)” depicts one long — and seemingly endless — battle between a white cop and an unarmed black man. When the video opens, it’s clear that the two have been fighting for some time. They’re both depicted as tired and human, and when the video ends, it leaves viewers with one question: is this the time they finally stop?
