I remember when I saw El-P in 2002 at Club Laga in Pittsburgh with Mr. Lif, Copywrite, RJD2, SA Smash, and a couple of other heads and they ripped it! EL-P did this track and said that the "you're not promised tomorrow" sample was actually a Kool G. Rap line. Mad energy in that bitch that night for real. El-P is a seriously dope producer and MC that definetely deserves his props.
as a full fledged el-p head i cant say its the best ever but its definately up there. and easily one of the most original tracks that hip hop can offer.
This is craziest illest dopest shyt I've heard in years since the record indistury started playing bullshyt on the radio and mtv. I'm so stoked I found this guy. Its like rediscovering how great hiphop is.
Muthafucka is beyond ill. El-P is to beat makin in this decade what Dre was to beat makin in the 90's. But, obviously, El is just on another level. Gotta break out the thesaurus when he starts rappin'.
