      LP's beats are so fat you could spread them on bread. Absolutely loved it

    Sampling Gang of Four to make a modern hip hop classic is exactly why EL-P is a legend and why I love him! I didn’t even realize that song was sampled

    Those past musicians are so silly. Rap samples brings them back to a new generation.

    I resonate with El P on a lot of production/artist sensibilities he lays bare here.

    This is the exact conversation id love to have with bro as well. Question number 1 would be how the pigeon beat came about.

    for me as a graphic designer, he's the best collage artist! he's making some monalisa pieces.. looks like new version of monalisa, in a more sexier way! genius!

    I wish he kept going with Def Jux he knew how to pick Great Artists for that Label that label had the most unique cutting edge Modern HipHop to this day. I know I will be the misfit here but I love everything EL has ever done except his RTJ work its just sounds too Bama for my taste personally not feeling it. I really miss his dirty Dusty NYC Dark Industrial thing I felt a Great Freedom when listening to that stuff + it was way more poetic and Live as FCUK!

      You’re not alone. But artists need some kind of change, I guess.

    After I heard that Mr. Lif - Phantoms produced by El-P I decided he was a god on the beats

    This is great. El-P should bring back more of his old-school sampling style tho. It might not be whats pop right now but there's a market for old school 90's sounds. A modernized version of that, plus his even more political lyrics with Killer Mike, would be amazing imo.

    EL-P kinda looks like an old Yung Lean

      Yeah, Yung Lean does look like young El-P without facial hair.

    When kanye blew up on the scene with Chaka khan' everybody that loved what he did wanted to revisit her, and it brought her back.
    Rap sampling us a buffet... you will not really know which song is going to hit. Can make 50 songs all samples and 1 is a mega hit. The key should be if it hits that big then pay an agreed upon percentage.
    But to pay for 50 samples and 1 only hits... the sampling producer loses.
    The song has to hit first like biggie 1 more chance... then pay
