El-P is one hard rapping dude and a pretty slick producer to boot.
I fux with him from the homies Das Racist. Now I’m realizing I need to check for him a bit more.
I picked up this track over at Byron Crawford’s website.

El-P is by far my #1 white boy on the mic, although I don’t care for everything he does. Bol was hyping his last full length solo album and wasn’t far wrong tho’ I’m not into ** any ** fucking emo shit except for Curtis, Marvin and Ghost.
El-P’s group album Company Flow stands up as future shock way harder– if way less pop– than Kanye, who was just jocking Euro dance music. There’s a hot sci-fi/real-life dystopia (also graffiti writing) angle to El-P also. Check this, DP–

Tho’ I wouldn’t mind hearing “College Dropout”-era hungry Yeezy trade rock a beat like this.
For somewhat more ‘traditional’ rap, check out the Cannibal Ox “Cold Vein”, produced by El-P. I’m not sure of whole story but who like so many rap dudes, have their window of brilliance and then it closes– O.C. is another example of the previous era.

^co-sign the Cannibal Ox album. That joint is space rap extraordinaire – except more dystopian and less emo. It is the Citizen Kane to CuDi’s Twilight (no shots).
