Kevin Hart’s Run The Jewels movie isn’t about the rappers, but they’re still pissed
Yesterday, The Hollywood Reporter shared the news that Kevin Hart is going to produce a movie called Run The Jewels, about a band of failed rappers who make a career move into the lucrative, albeit less competitive, field of “[robbing] an eccentric hip-hop mogul.” You’d be forgiven if you read that headline and assumed the project had something to do with the Killer Mike and El-P rap duo, Run The Jewels—but only if you don’t work for Universal. See, El-P came across that news, and he’s pissed about the movie title:
excuse me while I go starve a savage pack of lawyers for 7 days.
