This video needs an '80s movie style epilogue at this point. The Harlem Shake beat went on to become a viral phenomenon and #1 hit the next year 5 Pointz was whitewashed, demolished, and is now an apartment building That little project El talked about with Killer Mike turned out alright Despot is still planning on dropping that album early next year
@@Whatdaballllllllllio That’s a very, very corny bar hahaha. It kind of seems like it’s intelligent for a second but if you really think about it, it’s awful. So easy to come up with some crap like that that only makes sense one way you look at it.
I remember when this came out , a decade later , when Harlem shake was dropping El-P was mentioning working with Killer Mike, little did we or HE know the greatness about to become. . So cool looking back , there were signs ,
Despot's the kind of hype man that would slowly step off the stage when your verse is about to drop 25 seconds in, slowly walk to the side and away from the crowd, then at the same speed, step back on the stage when the song ends and slowly walk up to you just pointing at your head the whole time
despot always been dope as fuck goddamn... still waiting on that album tho...ahhaa he seems way stoned or maybe hes just one of those typa guys who doesnt really like talking and shit so he just says random shit when people talk to him haha.. I'm kinda like that lol
Yo parts of this interview were kinda sad/funny at the same time. I don't know Despot well but at the end when El-P was like "it's really hard being your friend" and Despot just goes "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry" and looks down at the ground and El-P just goes "it's cool" as it goes to the awkward wide shot I was laughin my ass off. Hey at least the dude seems real though.
It is "Phantom Of The Synths" from J Dilla but the beat is also used in "Gazzilion Ear" from MF Doom. The sample is from Giorgio Moroders "Theme From Midnight Express".
This video has been out for 3 years and I'm still coming back to listen. Love these two. The only thing I wish is that killer mike would have showed up somehow haha
"Me and Mike are gonna try something, with both of us rappin. Just for fun..."
Hell yeah you are!
Ooh La la
🤜🏻👈🏻
@@jux4life oh, for real? Can't wait for it
Five years later and El-P is wearing that same shirt to interviews and Despot still hasn't dropped an album yet.
Fuckin bums!
6 years now.... Run the jewels is fire though. You can tell Despot is super fucked up, and El-P is kinda bothered and embarrassed.
its more in the future and despot still didn't drop but still has the best selector verse.
Green Ghost despot has a dry humor
2019 UPDATE: No update.
"just for fun" - drops Run the Jewels. Damn. I wish I had more fun.
This comment killed me

That little project El talked about with Killer Mike turned out alright
Despot is still planning on dropping that album early next year
8 years later we are on RTJ4, and Despot hasn’t dropped his album.
“Early next year “ best joke ever told in hip hop 😂
Despot has a show on HBOMAX, so atleast he's doing things. But yeah, that album's never coming out. Or it'll ironically come out when he dies.
Love how El calls him out right after. "why not, a lie is a lie you know"
"Got the game sealed like a walrus in a thesaurus."
Jesus Christ, Despot.
For real dude. That was killer.

@@Vaughnmateee believe it or not some people like that stuff lil bro
Despot, with the interest rates that's been climbing, you owe us like 3-4 albums now.
Need a sitcom with El-P and Despot and I needed it yesterday
Despot has a show on HBOMAX.
@@jimmyMNSTR_911 what!? What's it called?
@@rosalind1635 "Chillin Island"
(6 episodes, season 1)
despots flows smooth af
I remember when this came out , a decade later , when Harlem shake was dropping El-P was mentioning working with Killer Mike, little did we or HE know the greatness about to become. . So cool looking back , there were signs ,
"Yeah, she can give up on that one for sure."
lmao El is savage
hate that word but so appropriate
love that word and it's usage here is disgusting
I love appropriately disgusting things, but I hate words in general.
"I'm going ham, I'm going cheese, I'm going bread".. I say this when I make sandwiches. Despot with the dual birds up is my constant mood.
Never realized Despot was even more ginger and troll-like than El-p.
Ha!!
I enjoyed this short film. These young men are quite enjoyable. Enjoyment is truly the emotion i'd like to convey. Enjoy.
lol still waiting on that despot album....
2043. One can hope
6 months later....still waiting
Its never coming out
cavemanvi imagine when it does though.
robotsweat el p cracks me up hard with 'a lie is a lie' , perfect delivery
"I think you're an obnoxious little man and I'm tired of your shit" omg lol
The resurgence that Despot wanted wasn't what he got. "Harlem Shake" videos don't even have the Harlem Shake dance.
Hahahaha just pointing at his head the whole time. I'd hire Despot for a hype man.

Despot sounds like he just took a handful of percocet.
Dude is wrecked lol
He's having a hard time even standing up straight and still killed it.
rest in peace 5 Pointz
Even EL-P been waiting on that despot album 😂😂😂
the best episode of selector yet. i'm ginger so these guys are pretty much gods in our world. EL-P, Despot and Josh Homme x
Oh we just might make arguably 2 of the best albums in the last few years. Just for fun.
+Top Calibre Rob That's how it should be, isn't it? Them enjoying their art and their creative processes leads to us enjoying the results.
+Ian Rogers lmao, what's good Ian
TFW RTJ3
Top Calibre Rob make it 3
I'm an El-P fan since Fantastic Damage and love RTJ and all that, but man Despot killed it.
God damn I love Despot. I love how he's pointing at El-P during his freestyle
"Why not? A lie's a lie, ya know?" Hahahaha
Please Despot... we need the album.
ce smith Lost it at "little gangster leprechaun"
Despot, release something already.
How many years later; still no album.
Despost looking like that unassuming nobody at the climbing gym just hanging back watching everyone climb then just crushes double digits.
Despot: rap game Paul Giamatti.
I watch this weekly. Despot is the man.
Do you still watch it weekly?
8 years later, still no album
That little man is a cool dude.
greatest show ive ever been too was killer mike and el p with despot.
They should make a collab album called Ginger Gang or something
Ginger Aliens
This is old but personally I think despot (although rare) has some of the most killer bars.
Despot is very funny
Its 2022. Still no Despot album
Still been watching weekly. Waiting on that album.
I saw him open for RTJ 2 or 3 summers ago and thought he would have released something by now.
fucking hilarious. Why not? A lie is a lie.
despot always been dope as fuck goddamn... still waiting on that album tho...ahhaa he seems way stoned or maybe hes just one of those typa guys who doesnt really like talking and shit so he just says random shit when people talk to him haha.. I'm kinda like that lol
RUN THE JEWELS was just for fun.
despot and el look like brothers
Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends
Haha, wow
El-P is a true MC and a real HIP HOP KAT!
best Selector, hands down. These two need to release at least an EP together or something
It’s 2024 new Despot album still bout to drop next year😂
Good luck on that project with Killer Mike , El-P
By far the best show on Pitchfork TV. Fly me to Paris. NOW!
still waiting for that despot album.
3:59 best part of the interview 😂💀7:13
Did anyone say the obvious yet, that El + Despot killed the harlem shake beat before it was made popular?
Actually, Despot said he wants to see a resurgence of it...and that's exactly what happened.
It's an interview, but cut to 4:41 and (lyrics come in around 4:59), man these dudes show out.
hilarious how they were on bauuer harlem shake before it really popped off
this is the best verse despot ever spit
8 steps to perfection still my shit in 2019
Got the game 'sealed' like a walrus in a thesarus.
Cuz walruses and seals are similar animals, y'dig
I respect despots commitment to these bits
despot i so underrated. every verse i hear from him is the best one on whatever song it is
Early next year, looking forward to it...
Agreed. We need more Despot!
Love how they all rap for fun. El. Despot. Mike. Mr. FN.
Both these dudes beast.
When I hear the word "effortless" I think of Despot. Dude is phenomenal
Despot, its early next year, lets go
Lmao, Bruh said he went to a BBW convention! 🤣
I love these guys
The god el-p...and despot aka the vincent van gogh look alike rapper
2 of the best gingers in hip hop out now
It was also used for "Dimethyltryptamine" by Jay Electronica
the beat that introduces the video... what is that?! I've heard it before and loved it. bothered right now.
DOOM - Gazillion Ear
I think DJ shadow had the same feelings with the approach producing the RTJ collabo
If you go to the bandcamp page, the tune is called Elvis on the album, The New Routines.
Despot wished the Harlem Shake would make a comeback. Be careful what you wish for. We had Harlem Shake videos coming out our asses at one point lol.
NYCBostero different dance tho
NYCBostero this interview was posted before the harlem shake hype in 2013.
+xJoBoy that's exactly what my post was about.
He's talking about the actual onr
The intense sarcasm of Despot talking about Harlem Shake is hilarious.
I was lucky enough to meet El-P in Bristol. He didn't have any weed so I hooked him up my homegrown shit. Top,top bloke. Funny and gracious.
Funny seeing him talk about Run the Jewels @2:21
Bam, Despot wants Harlem Shake, he gets harlem shake. These guys are steps ahead.
Yo parts of this interview were kinda sad/funny at the same time. I don't know Despot well but at the end when El-P was like "it's really hard being your friend" and Despot just goes "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry" and looks down at the ground and El-P just goes "it's cool" as it goes to the awkward wide shot I was laughin my ass off. Hey at least the dude seems real though.
I hope Despot and the Alchemist make a project together. That'll be raw!
2:22, el-p foreshadows run the jewels.
"just some fun" :D
Got the game sealed like a walrus in a thesaurus..excellent. On another note. is there a verse El doesn't own?
8 years later and still no Despot album...
LMFAO despot funny af
Somehow still relevant.
"Got the game sealed like walrus in the thesaurus!" 0_o oh shit!!!
I need someone like Despot who just points at me when I'm doing my thing.
Or Gata with how he is with Lil DickMeister
The Middlefinga-pose is so cool. Looking forward to the show in Denmark!
6 years later. Still no Despot album.
the masters....
Despot hand steady like the surgeon he is .
such a dope verse from despot
I watch this at least 3 times a day. Too ill.
It is "Phantom Of The Synths" from J Dilla but the beat is also used in "Gazzilion Ear" from MF Doom. The sample is from Giorgio Moroders "Theme From Midnight Express".
Despot needs to release an album.
El-P. Much love dude!
This video has been out for 3 years and I'm still coming back to listen. Love these two. The only thing I wish is that killer mike would have showed up somehow haha
:/
yup
The thing im most impressed by was his ability to keep his , fingers up the whole time he rapped.
yes
The little man with the fingers up went hard.
im a super fan boy, and i could watch this vid for days
No one would ever walk by these two and say..I bet those doods are monster fucking emcees..but then you hear them and its mind blowing
'A lie is a lie'...No Despot album to date.
