Killer MikeandEl-Pdetailed a bunch ofludicrouspre-order packagesfor their upcomingRun the JewelsalbumRTJ2(out October 27). For example, $40,000 gets youMeow the Jewels, a remixed version of the album primarily featuring cat sounds. Now, in the same spirit that brought us Caustic Window,a fan has launched a Kickstarterto ensure that fans will be able to hearRTJ2's meow-loaded remix.
The bottom of the official pre-order page comes with the disclaimer, "run the jewels reserves the right to take your money and not fulfill any of its obligations as outlined in any package priced at 35k or more." But El-P has promised that he'll actually do it if the Kickstarter is successful:
