Man I love El-P. He has an intricate understanding of the things so many wrestle with. He's just so real and raw about it but in a hopeful way. No matter how bitter or depressing the presentation might be on the surface it never ends on a somber note. Theres always a persistant sense of hope. Thats beautiful.
This is extremely relatable. Brilliantly put and no diva shit or self pitying - a real assesment of using drugs for escapism.
Damn, what a poignant perspective on authenticity in art. This was really inspiring and got me pumped to start writing. Open M Eagle and El P are diamonds. This is a great interview. Thanks for putting it together.
Always wondered what his poison of choice was😎
shout out mike eagle for asking stuff the fans find interesting as fuck😎
I've always felt that, as an artist, your cross to bear is a message you should share. We're all only human. I guarantee there's someone out there that's dealing with the exact same shit you are, and would find having something to relate to beneficial. Everybody needs something they can lean on at one point or another.
El-p a god of hip hop
I don't think theirs "Fake" Bone in that Man's Body! He TRULY Is an "Indelible" Artist!
Came at the perfect time for me man

Facts!🤜🤛
❤❤❤indeed!
I feel this HARD. Been off fent for over a year and long before I finally kicked it for good I realized how much I was projecting on the drug. I saw it as an escape from all the pain and stress both internal and external but ultimately it couldn't even do that. It didn't help keep me sane, it just gave me another distraction from what I should be doing to help myself and a whole heap of problems to add to my mountain of baggage. Opiates in particular, especially hard ones, are for the kind of people who can't shut out the ugliness in the world and themselves like normal people do. Chronic self-critics who can't even find the motivation to off themselves. A lot of artistic/creative types end up like that, myself included. I'm so much better now but still can't for the life of me finish or even save a song, not for lack of trying. I try almost every day, I have a decent setup and years of experience but nothing is ever good enough and I avoid learning things that would help me achieve what I want, almost like I don't believe I deserve to just make music or art and be happy. I know the drugs won't help, my meds help a bit but for over a decade everything has been a dull grey punctuated by panic attacks. Addicts either want to feel something for once or stop feeling, sometimes at the same time. Quitting sucks because at least when I was using 24/7 I had an excuse for my lack of progress and the comforting delusion that using made me feel better. The realization that no pill, line or shot can fix me and recovery will be long, strenuous and painful is hard to grapple with but it's way better than lying to myself.
I'm proud of you, keep going.
Everything's gonna be alright, keep working.

drugs are horrible, my friend passed this past november from an overdose
I'm sober for 13 years but it's too late drugs already destroyed my entire life
@@SurgeCess what? if u haven't done them in 13 years how did they destroy ur life?
@@cloudair4154he’s a stud dookie now, duh
Better than being alive. I want to overdose too , rather die high than old and dry
Even if you’ve been clean and sober for decades, the times spent using can have severed relationships that can never mend in one way or another.
That prison cell line hit a little bit TOO hard. To the point where I had to ask if that's me. Love El.
They can changes emotions true PCP or more addebels to make it strong morfine
Off the dope
It's all about balance, I think euphoria serves an important purpose.
It's very lonely making beats
After Company Flow all split up EL-P turned into a fruit cake
