[jeffersontool]

This song lights shit on fire!

[PeeGeeBeeDee]

What's Wrong With This White Boy's Face? He Actually Got On TV With A Face Like That? Wow, He's Obviously Not Mexican.

[MrPopquorn]

So sick!

[bakanbi]

[Wutwut1n1]

[oljerzbastard]

9 people were born yesterday, but didn't stay up all night

[ramafia09]

@oljerzbastard seriously, thats so old. that needs to stop.

[oljerzbastard]

@ramafia09 You're fuckin right

[kustomkure]

He is as big as Trent Reznor now. That doesn't mean I like it however. I still prefer Can Ox Cold Vein production and always will.

[musicalminded878]

Please do yourself a favor and, ....listen to Company Flow

[Sesquipedaliantique]

I love this. No bling, no ho's, just awesome beats and lyrics.

[skid272]

[xMyNameIsMike]

@Drizzlerman Just caught that. Old comment I know, but I had a laugh because it was on ABC haha

[Drizzlerman]

@xMyNameIsMike lol yeah, EL-P is a bad ass musical genius.

[hevoskyyti]

its kinda weird to see EL-P on kimmel, weird but cool!

[Sagefrakrobatik]

@hevoskyyti Atmosphere and Brother Ali was on there too.

[FIGHTFANNERD3]

drake lil wayne sucks

[skafe]

It's bloody makeup on his face. Had you actually listened to his line before the song about "soldiers dying for a pack of lies" you'd have understood the get-up.

[MarvinLeeAday69]

is that Fucking Dibbs on the tables. fucking sweet hes one of my favorites

[kassylion]

He fukin blows it up. what a mad sound this dudes got. He on some next level shit. He is a bit like the new UK cat AllFlaws.

They kind of got the same dark production with the deep intelligent lyrics.

love Saul Williams too

[JivemasterJ]

@kassylion Chek My Beets, son!

[TheDeadbent]

@kassylion No.

[Wordtoyamom]

This whole album is fucking classic

[SickeninglyILL]

awesome, Nascar after an El-P performance!! =D

[omfgapolarbear]

Irony at its finest.

[zxcv73]

Watch the music video, you'll understand the bloody face.

[originaldeadman1190]

why is his face all fucked up?

[purplekush317]

I think it's make up

[DevilzSpeciez]

goddamnnn el-p killed it

[October33rd]

I saw him perform a few nights before this. It was the best show i've been to that year.

[LifeOfAnOutlaw]

That dude can rock a show!

[micafonist]

nice

[TheToneSelectah]

yep, knowledge, widom, understanding is the key to wealth :)

[KingCleen]

hmmm? thought El-p was that dude from the Pharcyde well thought comes from not knowing

[thedreddster]

u probably mean fatlip, the names kinda sound alike :)

[KingCleen]

yeah they do,

[MarvinLeeAday69]

fat lip, or Bootie Brown are the only ones that come to mind from the Pharcyde

[IHaveHeart]

fucking ILL

[LouBiggins]

Is that Dibbs on the wheels?

[MarvinLeeAday69]

haha ya dude i think so, we're like the only ones that noticed

[tommyneumann]

el-p is a true artist.he makes music for himself and if you happen to like it cool if not deez nuts

[danielhl22]

this just let me speechless !!!!

[acortez48]

el-p is so sick

[CharlesAH]

what is on his face????

..dig this song

[aztr0zombie]

fake blood

[vhbx13]

song is hot

[youcantseecharlie]

this music is hip hop and el p is an mc. he aint afraid to bend the norm, we should all wish ther was more people trying to do what el p is doing

[fr8fiends]

the music is called what ever you want ,music..underground hiphop.and thats not murs.....

[Cubehead666]

El-P rocks my fuckin' ass off.

[skafe]

El's known for his crazy production but this is very obviously rappy rap of the rapping sort.

[AdeptThePhonetic]

wtf type of music would u call this!?

[mdc2077]

I would label this as progressive HipHop.....CCWM 09!

[landpirate333]

hahaa crazy synth man is jokes

[DCSTUBZ]

Is that Murs with him?

What's with El-P's face?

[PJORmaximus]

the face thing is part of the act, its going along with the soldiers dying theme. thats why everyone was wearing camo.

[leetstyle]

BECAUSE HES BLACK?!

no its not fool.

[floysie21]

at 13 seconds there is a guy who is completly off the beat of the clap lol

[Whiteboy831]

hahaha

[desperationtrain]

hahahah hahhahahahhhhhhhhhhhhh

[EMETATHE4x4]

EL P is prolly the most overlooked EMCEE out there right now !

Company flow - Fun crusher album is dope.. cop it!!

[damnyobreathstank]

el-p is one of the most creative and innovative artist out! a lot of people aren't as open-minded to even give his music a chance. his shit is ill!

[kockykunt]

ofcourse hes innovative! im from miami & I despise most miami rap... this is the shit right here... not that lil wayne garbage... my opinion though

[sw69skate]

EL-P has put 100% effort and work into everything hes ever done and its come out amazing,his deep amazing beats and his heavy hard hitting style of rapping.EL-Ps one of my all time favourites in general.

[satatay23]

only wish he put more sub bass in his production.

[Lycanthr0py]

This day 8.10.07 rules so much!

[stewpeezy72]

El-p is a fugging BEAST!!!

[KROMEXICAN]

DEF JUXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

[gorefaggot]

blowin' up! i stayed up all night.

[isreal423]

I would had love to hear him say "911 was an inside job" on the intro.

That would had been the ultimate, maybee next time.

[zoloftboy]

I love EL-P to death but nothing will beat COFLOW.

[mixmastamarshymc]

youre nuts. elp just gets better and better. die hipster.

[Ahsap7]

damn.....EL-P....wow...these ain't the days of stretch and bobbito on 89.9.

[jabahut1]

hip hop isnt dead,people died.Our future wasnt secured by our elders.Remember

"you talkin loud but u aint saying nothing".?

El-P sure keeps me awake

[amerikanzero]

fucking love el-p.

[microbekiller]

I just wish the sound production was better. It does the song a real disservice.

[Antianti33]

damm he is a rockstar

[hoodbopsux]

omg...he got skills one of the few left long live def jux

[meren00b]

Why is El-P covered in blood.

Looks like the drummer has blood comin from his forehead. Looks like a bullet hole.

A common occurence at his shows?

[emgorode]

It's obv. makeup symbolizin the bloodshed in Iraq, hence the uniforms they all wearin

[discoprotection]

hip-hop sucks. this is some of the only shit left

[meren00b]

amen, Dilla n Madlib

[BenjaminLee]

He doesn't wear his jumpsuit anymore cause he said it essentially got too small for him from washing it and shit so much or something.

[skafe]

He's dead serious and that's supposed to be blood on his face. They usually do the whole bloody orange jumpsuits things but I guess they decided against it for national television.

It's funny how most of you who come here to waste time and talk shit obviously know very little about what El-P has done in the span of his career - and that's cool but it just makes you look foolish to come here with all that shit talk and comparisons to main stream artists.

Go listen to Company Flow.

[dsmite]

for real this performance is not his best people talk shit on one performance not alot of people understand el-p's style and for the haters talkin shit you have obviously not heard enough.

[Dottin]

@skafe Word up! Company motherfucking Flow!

[Smirk702]

@skafe right on bro!!!

[aprofoundhatredofman]

el-p's lyrics are very well written, i still can't get into how he delivers them, don't know why. he's still one of the best artist's out there.

i'm all about sole and anticon.

[charlieclown]

whats on his face?

[dja123]

Blood

[MovinWeightsince88]

hahahahah at the idea of talib being underground.

who was on UGK's last album?

the reason talib kweli is never going to sell millions is because he's put out total shit since Black Star.

And Underground Kingz wsa a totally solid album, barring a few tracks, like Real Women with Talib.

anyway, el producto is easily my favorite rapper, and I think that he's going to be as revered as Chuck D. or Rakim years from now.

[bulldogscrotum]

to expand on the extensive thread below... aside from the Def Jux crew, there hasn't been any real rap since Wu-Tang. What made Wu-Tang and the "real rap" (rap that created the genre) so good was that they were something new, and intelligent. They spoke truth... all the new shit's the same- angry black guy screams something, people dance, people buy album. 50, Kanye (Aside from Stronger), Jay-Z (is more of a business man), The Game, Seouhljia (whatever) Boi, Busta Rhymes, Puff Daddy,etc. suck

[ajcarralejo]

true dat...public enemy and gangstarr etc.. are also the shit....be aware that 2pac and Biggie screwed everything up btw, not 50 or The Game. (think of it like this...[2PAC:STAR WARS::50 CENT:BAD BOYS II], artistically speaking, where its almost like WU-TANG:THE GODFATHER::PUFF DADDY:, well, NATIONAL TREASURE, SHREK, PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN, BEOWULF, SCARY MOVIE, DATE MOVIE, MEET THE SPARTANS)....interesting parallels...

Americans are almost like robots! Don't buy into it crap!

[brokemc]

What about rhymesayers? i.e brother ali, slug, P.O.S. ? if you don't know.... time to learn.

[DNAhiphopper]

thumbs down.

[teal2180]

Thumbs down for you

[Audiofalcon7]

Notice how all the idiots hating on El-P can't make another comment to back up their fucking retarded claims.

People are just too damn ignorant these days.

[KISproductions]

EL-P is just another ass hole

[GraciousManatee]

El-P is incredible. His new album is incredible. nuff said

[wrangler34]

I really do not understand why a lot of people may not respect this guys work. You don't have to like it to realise it took time to make the songs, off this latest album all of his songs were of and only concerned about important content matter that hits deep that most rappers never dream of, aswell as having it's own creative sound.

[bishopragz]

The main reason is most of today's kids [read: target audience for labels] are more concerned with songs that tell them what to go buy, what's hot/cool/the shyt, and anything that brainwashes them so they don't have to think for themselves...

Same reason why Talib Kweli doesn't get the respect he deserves...

[HoLLa]

[duality870]

I totally agree with that, in the end it's all about the money.

I guess, in a way, El-P and other "undiscovered" artists are punks, breaking the mold, going against the grain, basically doing "what they're not supposed to do".

[wrangler34]

Yeah your right. I can't believe people can't think or feel for themselves. And your right people like Talib will not reach the as large as a status as the mainstream. Well atleast underground rappers are making good stuff despite whats usually excepted.

[wrangler34]

And while some things are mainstream because a lot of people jump the dumb wagon provided from commercial appeal a bulk of mainstream music is good and thats a reason why some make it far. Being commercial isn't the problem it's whats done with that fame.

[TheDocAWPerative]

this guy has more talent than any mainstream artist

[wrangler34]

Thats a big thing to say and while I like El-p I doubt thats true. He is better than a lot of mainstream rappers in at this current time but when it comes to music there are many genres with different things to offer and not one can capture them all that depends on the artist.

[danielalien]

well, most mainstream rappers don't make their own music..

[KROMEXICAN]

the future is now..its here..only a matter of time before the underground generation completely takes over the planet!

[Brizzlerman]

EL-P on national TV was a good experience for me.

[Eniledam20]

finally some damn music!?!

[excAPE88]

this man is able to flip his style in so many ways. Far from a one dimensional Emcee

[Jackalz]

Prove it.

[LetsGo2Smokes]

i love el-p but i do value his production more so than his emceeing, I like the fact that he has innovative lyrics but never really dug his voice or live show in a big way. Don't get me wrong here hip-hop needs more el-p's for sure. And less watered down MTV cliches

[shimeluchin]

i think he was refering to blood on his face or whatever that should represent,

and he is great mc, smart lyrics, and good delivery

[lamine3]

brock 1212, are you an idiot? everyone that goes on a tv show gets make-up put on them. if they didnt they'd look horrible on camera.

[cypha3d]

what he said | | \ /

[uglycivilian]

el-p is the shit ..you either get his music and respect it or you dont and listen to that ignorant garbage

[brock1212]

He has made a good contribution to hip hop. Hes a good producer, but as an emcee? No way. I don't see any 50 dick riding in here dodgers.

[effthedodgers]

Thank god there's people like El-P out there making music. All you 50 cent fans run for cover.

[brock1212]

Listen and learn, again... Are you fucking kidding me? the dude has fucking make up on. I don't care if hes being political or whatever the fuck for the people. He's a producer, thats it.

[brock1212]

"El-Producto's one of the top 25 MCs of all time. period" haha, are you fucking kidding me?

[Timmay2747]

it wasn't my comment, but i gotta agree. no, he's not kidding you. listen and learn.

[devote]

EL-P always been a good producer, but was never the most entertaining...I guess I'm kinda more laid back...props for him though to get on a late night show, even if id never watched(thank you youtube)

[septkone]

I have made my point. Music is a driving force for me , especially when cats like El-P, and (most) of the Def Jux camp push the envelope content wise. Pardon me if knowing what I know makes me sexy to you NARTSIPACMIT. I know ou wouldnt say the same face to face and I'll leave it at that... Free speech lives on right?

[super100x]

As good a rapper as he is, he's an even better producer. Check his albums.

[yoshxl]

El-Producto's one of the top 25 MCs of all time. period.

[HaloedG]

No. El-P can name 50 MCs better than him.

[flipessorry]

i think thats awesome that el got on to national t.v.

[redthebossman]

myspace. com/reasoner623

dont miss the aesop rock , none shall pass tour!!!!

[redthebossman]

None of us need to defend or hate on el-p. just like everything else, some will enjoy , and some ..not so much. thats life and thats why there is choices...if you choose to live 50 cent over el-p...then i know to avoid you because you are brainwashed....but i wouldnt hate on you, i would just find something else to do heheh.

[redthebossman]

el-p, who else has released only 3 albums and an instrumental album and is so wideley recognized. dudes a legend and an excellent producer/rapper.

If you dont like him...why hate? negitivity needs to be erased and maintain a positive level. If you dont like something simply stay away from it. You control you emotions and state of being no one else.

[kevland1]

I do not listen to mainstream rap. All rap is shit.wannabe white boys with fake blood are even sub-rap posers. If ya can;t sing, if ya dont have a voice, if you cant write and have no sense of beat...just become a white rapper. Even a shit like Kanye puts out a song like "Stronger" which is craqp...but has production quality this white boy could never dream of achieving.

[septkone]

You my friend are ignorance personified and your shit pile of a brain is the reason HIP HOP has lost its face. When wet-dreams of paychecks become respectable material opposed to touching on poignant subjects you make my point clear. Btw Kanye uses ghost producers dick and on top of that 15 yrs plus in the game [EL-P can say that]puts Kanye back in his seat as a matter of fact I bet he rides EL's john in his free time)I feel sorry for your mother

[NARTSIPACMIT]

ur a fag

[NARTSIPACMIT]

in response to septkone

[sabikeo]

What a pathetic fool, don't presume to know anything about rap. Especially with your bullshit generalizations and hate on a whole musical genre. What do you listen to, cliched shit rock? Give me a break, ignorant imbecile.

[shimeluchin]

looooool, el-p cant achive production quality like on that lame "stronger" from daft punk song,jesus, that song is so bad, and not origional

el-p makes smartest production in rap music, just listen the beats on Cage "hells winter" album

[xTheOxx]

At least give credit where credit is due: Kanye doesn't deserve praise for Stronger as he simply raps over a Daft Punk track. And he doesn't even come close to El-P as a lyricist and rapper.

[sfsugcrew]

nice performance, that was dope

[shabooboo]

el is blowing [up]

so is the whole weathermen.cardboardcity gang.

$

[necrowisdom]

keviand1 all i can say is youre a retard, and a homosexual who listens to gay mainstreem hip hop that has no message, and no talent.

[timot89]

awesome. El-P rocks it live.

Love his new album.

[acerock1999]

El-p's one of the best producers in hip-hop right now...I can't even comprehend how he does some of the things he does.

[maxcaster989]

the fake blood looks stupid as hell

[Akrisone]

your fucking stupid as hell for making such an idiotic comment fagget

[maxcaster989]

dude wtf, chill out u fuckin rap nerd

[datsun78]

''this song is dedicated to all the soldiers out their that are still dying for a 'pack of lies' ''

word.

[verballycomplex]

DEFJUX FOR LIFE!

[skafe]

I saw him twice this summer and it's nice to know that there's no need to defend him here or elsewhere - his music and his work ethic speak for themselves.

Let them hate because all they have to offer is chatter.

[defcomexperiment]

seen el at the magic stick in detroit a couple months back, one of the best shows i went to... as for everyone knockin el, well, thats probably cause they arent advanced enough to understand...

[alexfreddy]

uneducated ears have no business listening to him...they have no idea what they are about to watch

[necrowisdom]

you guys hating on this are fuckin retarded, hes an amazing musician and id love to see any of the cocksuckers you listen to make as complex beats and compose amazing lyrics like el-p. you guys probably listen to 50 cent and faggot game and all that shit. that is tallentless garbage

my two cents

[elektraness]

truly mindblowing, this guy is a genius.  he clearly uses his art as a medium to convey powerful messages. one of the most innovative syles ive seen. im excitd to see how far he gets...rock on el xxo.

[Scorpio190]

EL-P got no talent man motherfuckers just dont recongize good music nowadays

[Jackalz]

you like nickleback.

and lil wayne.

[xTheOxx]

And wrestling! Ha!

[xTheOxx]

Anyone who makes and records music can understand how talented El-P is. So be prepared for hundreds of artists being influenced by him and ruining music forever for you. The rest of us will enjoy it while you dwell in the past.

[jmossie]

he's an independent artist shitheads. he owns def jux... obviously some people recognize his talent

[donuts187]

El-P is one of the most important and engaging voices in music today. Always enjoyable.

[bassbole]

zero, zero zero zero zero zero zero

there ya go buddy... spruced it up for ya

[dbro0009]

it's easy 2 diss those who r different when ur flowing with the mainstream current of music but this guy has done just the opposite. so u can talk crap all u want but just kno that for every one true artist trying to do their own thing there's a million artists copying eachother

[kevland1]

Talk about zero talent and zero musical talent. How do Zeros like this get a record deal?

[Skalnin]

he owns a record label you stupid moron. and even if he didn't, he would have no problem getting a record deal. he has said in interviews he gets offers from major labels all the time.

[pillowbill]

Eat a fucking dick,you couldn't appreciate someone actually putting an effort into making music. Rap is a fucking joke to people because its generic corporate bullshit, and you should at least respect the fact hes trying something different.

[Jackalz]

"Talk about zero talent" All right. You're assuming a position as someone who has the right idea of the musical technique and what technical talent is.

"and zero musical talent" Redundant--but I would expect that from someone named kevland1.

"How do Zeros like this get a record deal?" Your jokes are uninspired and sad. Please drown.
