“Talk to Me” is the first song from the anxiously-awaited Run the Jewels 3, and it falls closer to snarling vitriol than social critique. But Mike does target Trump: “Went to war with the devil and Shaitan/He wore a bad toupee and a spray tan,” he raps, and shouts at “these All Lives Matter-ass white folk.” El nods to a parent government full of “crooks tap your phone and now have a file on you.” The fact that those lines can exist in the same song as “You think Baby Jesus killed Hitler just so I’d whisper?” is, as always, remarkable. The juxtaposition shows the polar inanities of our world: There’s nonsense and there’s no sense, but they’re both equally absurd.
