I met Sole at a show in Hawaii in like 99. He asked me if I was an MC and said I looked like one. We chopped it up about his beef with EL-P back in the day. Deep Puddle Dynamics was my teenage soundtrack.

You see the most influential heads in this art form fly so low under the radar. That prime introductory era of Anticon hit so fucking different, had you like who the fuck are these dudes and what caused them to spit like this

I had to come back and comment, am I missing something, ? , Sole he seems off , I know he just woke up and he put his son asleep, but he seems not himself, I appreciate you guys keeping the flow and energy going for the interview, even when Sole's answers were ehhh sometimes .. hope he's doing fine

Interesting interview, I like the idea of recalling the Anticon years with sole with a new perspective that only comes with life experience. Your pronunciation of "anticon' stands out as well.

Naw that’s kinda hilarious that they set it up like he won then he proceeds to basically apologize and admit to starting the beef over some dumb shit 💀 I’m sure there’s like some run the jewel fan who doesn’t realize it’s old I get what you’re saying but that doesn’t really have anything to do with El-P or even Sole really, that seems like something the dude who said it got into an argument with one commenter on KZfaq about and now it’s like “people are still mad”
