El p is one of the most important artist and rappers ever. Top 5 as a rapper and producer all time. He’s the reason you got experimental hip hop like atrocity exhibition, some rap songs, any mike album etc. he’s the reason many rappers like mr lif and more are put on the map. He’s deep and I say that with pride not someone you will go to for bangers or shit necessary. But you will be in a hell of a experience when you realise what he’s talking about and how it shows what society really is heading towards. Show this man the respect he deserves

At first, and even Rasco acknowledged it to me last year, he was like, "I didn't think you'd have any hot beats but I was wrong" 😂

I have always idolized and respected EL-P. I still do. I’ve followed his entire career, from Official Records all the way to RTJ. I remember chilling on Ozone Music forums and we used to build with the entire crew before there was even a DefJux. El-P was so humble and kind to his fan base back then. Even though I still love his work, he did change over the years as a person as he started to gain fame, wish he was the same EL-P from the past, but I get it. I still consider him a pioneer and a legend. Someone who I will always idolize. Great interview.

El-P has always been an inspiration. Both as an artist and as a business model. He was rising as I really started getting into the indie scene. His "independent as fuck" slogan spoke right to my core, because he was doing things his way and being successful at it. Then as an artist, he's crafted a whole sonic universe. No one really sounds like him as a producer, or as a rapper. And watching him evolve from being ill in Company Flow (but letting dense lyrics get in the way of flow), to learning to be dense with much better timing..and seeing that same evolution with his beats after going solo. Even when my musical explorations took me away from hip hop for years, his releases would always be ones I come back to check for and always be impressed by.

Plus, his label Def Jux was one of the biggest indie hip hop labels in the 2000's. El-P is just appreciated by a different audience now ever since RTJ. ...but in the broader sense, yeah, I still think he's grossly underrated and under many's radar.

@@ekay4495 in order to have an opinion on an artist you need to listen to at least one full album, thats how i see it. Aesop got so many diffrent albums im sure evrey rap fan could appreciate some of his work, he puts a lot into it.

Murray's Revenge always in rotation. I learned of Murs/Living Legends from a white rapper, Slug due to the Felt albums. Been a fan ever since.

Watching this interview is good for me. I was listening to RTJ4 and wondering how good of a rapper is EL P really. We all know that killer mike is almost God level MC but El P flow is crazy. His voice isn’t as demonstrative as killer Mike’s but his word play and lyrics are just as intricate. Big ups to El P

El-P's 'Truancy' from his Fantastic Damage album is one of the best coming-of-age in hiphop song ever. Really an AMAZING song. El-P is fucking official.

Murs and Kweli both official as fuck, too! Didnt want to imply they weren't. Been rocking Talib since The Manifesto and Murs since his 3:16 Project with 9th(1st one).

El Producto is one of the GOATS on the mic and the board. Huge influence on those of us that used to dabble. I blew an opportunity to be on Co Flow’s street team back in the day. Huge mistake. Lol

There's a really simple rule of thumb that'll tell you whether a white artist is legit: are they being themself. If they're 'being black' when that's not who they are outside of the music - that's fake. Your Vanilla Ices, Fred Dursts, and Iggy Azelias. People who use hip hop and rapping to express themselves without being something they're not is the way to go. Dan Bull, old Papa Roach, Beastie Boys, Aesop Rock - lov 'em or hate 'em, at least they weren't being something they're not. The anomaly here would be Snow - he's a white Canadian, but he grew up around Jamaican immigrants in housing projects, so the whole Jamaican rap is not part of his heritage, but it is part of his upbringing.

@ECXLEvan 4 жыл бұрын

I appreciate you bringing up the "anomaly" here because you're absolutely right but like Snow there are white rappers who's upbringing is more akin to that of the black experience so to call them fake would be unjust. Real recognise real is still alive and true.

@Jeremy Backman Audiences were never part of the conversation. Background was. Vanilla Ice grew up in Dallas and Miami, not a poor neighborhood around black kids, his black-talking persona was fake. He himself later in life said it was stupid and apologized for it, there's a video - look it up.
