"'Thou Shalt Always Kill'" is the debut single by Dan le Sac Vs Scroobius Pip, released in 2007.

The song comprises an electronic dance beat with the vocals taking the form of a rant at aspects of modern British culture. The pivotal message is to "think for yourselves" rather than to follow current trends or get caught up in hype. The artists claim that the title, and final line of the song, refer to 'killing' as performing excellently in the Hip Hop vernacular.[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uqalTO2udzM YouTube - Dan Le Sac & Scroobius Pip discuss "Thou Shalt Always Kill"]

The song was named 'NME's track of the week in an April 2007 issue, despite the lyric "thou shalt not read NME" appearing in the song.[https://www.nme.com/reviews/8390 NME review of "Thou Shalt Always Kill"]
