Hip-hop duo Run The Jewels have announced they will offer several special editions of their forthcoming album, including one where they offer to play the part of Gordon Ramsay.
Taking the current fetishism of limited edition and deluxe hip-hop editions (yes we're looking at you Get On Down) one step further, the pair - Killer Mike and EL-P - have announced some slightly suprious deluxe packages for Run The Jewels 2.
As well as the more standard packages for the release on 28 October (including album packs with t-shirts and limited edition vinyl) the band are also offering some special packages. Think they are joking? Well the $250 special editions have already sold out...
