[cypha3d]

pros at work

[xbase09]

was that mr lif passing in front of the show? :)

[Rickeeey1]

4 underground hip-hop legends right there!

[twenty5psi]

These two are way ahead of their time. Timing was wrong for them in an era where flash and women were worshiped, not beats nor lyrics that make you sit back and say 'wow, did he really say that?'

[lawdoggvr4]

Amen brother.

[y0oho0]

beat is sick as fuck

[rayzian]

this is some sick oldschool footage, this is the el-p i was introduced to.. trucker hat, goatee and fan dam.. look how skinny aes is too.. this is them in their prime

[thesampler999]

yooooooooo mainstream music is music that gets bought. these days people have found out how to design music so it is bought, thus purposely appeals to the public like it was a fuckin mass produced consumer product. that is an example of art dying. THIS IS REAL ART RIGHT HERE, LONG LIVE HIP HOP, AND ANY OTHER FORM OF ART

[y0oho0]

in the eye of the beholder..underground music is just specialized music that appeals to certain niche groups.

it's all fuckin wires and chemical signals maaaan!

[n0s1r]

Riiiiight.

[eastoahu]

dope shit right here.

aesop and el-p killed it

[alcala315]

I fucken love this track...real hip hop fuckers.. stop talking shit little bitch. Company Flow opened my ears to the next level.

[ABYSZ9]

Fuck does that mean, birdie fool you.

Stick your birdie up your ass, along with your fucking Jay-Z discography

[robpaints]

this rappers are the ones that are dead before they even have a chance to leave their mark in the music world.

...and amateur rappers don't count.

[jmoore6969]

yeah, that's why they're still doing great and more popular than ever...

[ABYSZ9]

Fuck off, You know you love this.

Get off my dick

[robpaints]

you are right, I love this fake fools, as much as I love Kenny G.

Don't let the birdie fool you mother fucker.

[tsacnaes]

Aes Rock kills Jay-Z and his WHACK style. Measuring lyrical skill and musical quality by popularity would make 50 Cent iller than Tupac, Biggie, Nas, and Big L put together. And if you want to talk about making money, Will Smith kills all the heads I've mentioned thus far. So your little birdy must've whispered some off-kilter logic to you about the rap game.

[robpaints]

I come from the days of PE, Audio two, King T, Mc D-light, Ice-T, Boogie down Productions, Big Daddy Kane, NWO, Even Queen La Tifa had a piece then.

"the real masters"

so, before you talk to me about Rap, first you need to go to the roots, then you can talk shit.

[brefnyorourkefanX69X]

It's sad that you laundry listed old school hip hop any head worth shit would know and yet you completely ignored Tribe and Rakim, let alone some of the lesser-knowns. Your credibility is whack. Besides, these guys are doing something different, interesting, and unique in hip hop. They're not trying to be Jay Z, and their talents differ. Most people who listen to hip hop a little further removed from the radio than Talib Kweli will agree that Jay Z is smart and talented, but nothing special.

[robpaints]

just because is different, it doesn't make it better. this crap sucks.

and besides hip hop is the new pop.

[brefnyorourkefanX69X]

I didn't say it was better. But you're right, being different only merits respect for innovation. What makes them good is their talent and devotion/involvement in hip hop culture at a time when, as you intimate, hip hop is being rapidly commercialized. A lot of hip hop is still very faithful to the roots and culture, as well as innovative and interesting in its own right. Before you can talk shit, you also need to know what you're talking about.

[groaler]

um, have you read ant of aesop rocks' lyrics?

besides, a certain genre of music is not pop. pop can be any gene, just watered down and catchy enough

[robpaints]

Maybe I will.

[brayvo]

hip hop ain't dead, it's underground now

[J4kt]

truer words are not oft spoken

[Nardosfunhouse]

I love the dude just chilling in the crowd with a bat

[reubizzle214]

are they high?

y do they keep scratching

[khylelewis]

sweat?

[dieseluvin]

i agree that this vis is DOPE, PATNA

[54spiritedwill54]

this is in my top 5 best youtube recordings

[meren00b]

"ill take a hostage and walk thru the mosh pit" i love this song

[vikt0000r]

[vikt0000r]

they're fucking flying on pcp up there

[cooksk8er157]

haha Mr. LIF gettin a good seat.....

[suckmy66dickyouwhore]

dope... as.... fuck.

[drodude301]

lol. El-P and Aesop Rock came on the stage with this crazy look in their eyes.

[khylelewis]

sortof a free show look in their eyes to me

[vinylagain]

this is one of my favourite el-p tracks ever. it's heavy on the album, and even better live. the way el and aesop just strut out with this crazed look in their eyes and drop is priceless. the real gem on this track is the really subtle modulations in the synth line. no one can lace synths like el-p. thanks for posting this!!!

[tjalex85]

what song is it that El-P and aesop rock are performing?can anyone tell me ?

[kessec36]

Song title: Accidents Don't Happen

[ultralatenate]

this is the demolish team here

[bympy]

look el-p ripped sole that diss make me cry. You feelble minded if you think el is whack

[83BarFly]

forget these pricks, who the fuck are anticon compared to the def jux founder... the hiphop pioneer.. the fuckin man who put out arguably the best independent shit of the late 90's (we're talkin about funchrusher ofcourse).. El-Producto...

a little bitch once said:

"i love company flow, i dont wanna be against you guys, i wanna be down. i dont want beef with you guys... dude, like fucking, this whole shit is bananas!"

[83BarFly]

[bympy]

HAHAH SOLE WAS CRUSHED

[Agileonyx]

i agree EL-p is whack as fuck, and that intro scratching was pretty shitty too

[Groucho3030]

EL-P is a wack-ass'd rapper. Weak. Place him against anyone from anticon, and watch him get dismantled and destroyed.

RJD2 and Abilities are sick, Aesop is in a world of his own, but EL-P is un El-Pussy and El-Pathetic.

[crogger456]

abilities is the best dj.... i might be slightly biased because I am from the Twincities!

[CKninja69]

i agree he's mad talented, but RJ is DAMN GOOD as well

[verysuddenend]

Whole bunch of talented whiteys!

[verballycomplex]

"you're cookie cutter laws contain flaws in philosophy"

[northernconnect]

check my rap!

[wootangfinancial]

fuckin a i wish i went to this show, the middle east is such a good venue.

[distinguishedaptitud]

yo check

[magicmanjp]

abilities is the best DJ, hands down. He's incredible.

And aesop is the best ever. I saw him live, soooo amazing.

[USfutbol]

Aesop Rock is the best rapper but RJD2 is better then Abilities

[omuzork]

this is in my top5 fav youtube recordings

[drodude301]

Aesop pretty much made the most personal album he's ever made. Pretty much the opposite of selling out.

[kingmetroplex]

EL P NO JOKE

[pagetwo2]

go pick up fun crusher plus thats shit right there

[andyOchrist]

look at max destroyin them wheels...

[NGittis]

skills for life b... turntable talents own

[dconned]

el-p is a whack emcee and aesop recently sold out to mtv.........def jux are falling off

[ford123]

hahahah, how did aes sell out to mtv, el-p isnt' wack, fantastic damage is one of the illest albums. so is none shall pass.

[dconned]

sole ripped that fag

[AdrenalineFlash]

It's awesome, but there are many awesome artists out there.

[bc1391]

ISWYD and None Shall Pass were both sick, what are you talkin aout?

[45522t]

sage rhyming about his sexuality and about reptile turned body contortionist? ok...well yeah!

[JonnyPooPooPiants7]

shut up and enjoy it like you know you want to

[tonithemalament]

questo video apre i culi

---TROW OUT THE DARK

cacciamm o mal---

[igocomando]

absolute ill technique.

[guidogfive]

EXTREME LIVEL

[stephenbjorn]

some people don't understand metaphors

and they apparently like to criticize

people that do, and that use them

when it comes down to it,

DEF JUX has a deep talent pool, your a biter, a sucker

a deush and retarded, sure why not.

[benzino0028]

Aesop doesn't speak nonsense. Are you people just that ignorant, that you can't figure out what he's talking in his songs? Get his lyrics online and think about what it says, then you'll see the true beauty in his art. It's poetry poeple didn't we learn anything in school, or do ya'll need it dumbed down to get it?

[audiomonster]

if i could give you 10 thumbs up i would, but i can only give you 1

[rileyM22]

y'all crazy... you just gotta listen to sage, he's the shi7, and almost all of his rhymes make perfect sense... get a lyrics book or something if you think its gibberish dumbasses... aesop is off the chain too, but sometimes he does rhyme gibberish.

[audiomonster]

he says it himself, he only writes shit when he believes it

[learnrv]

wack indie music

[Shep1sck]

wack indie music? I think youre a wack paint-huffing retard. but you know, its just an opinion.

[stainlesssouls]

check out dj abilities and his hottest set on youtube. click the name

[XtremeDisaster]

RJD2 ROX ROX MAN!

gotta luv his work (before 'The Third Hand')

[jamesmariah]

ups ups ups ups ups at def jux

[vagdaltzsiros]

freaky ass dj..fo real

[landofthefreemyass]

RON PAUL FOR PRESIDENT 2008

[mostlyharmless11]

hahahaha

[merlinberlin]

Aesop's sick as fuck, but el-p needs to hop off his own dick. Co. flow was bad, now he just makes these fuckin video game beats and speaks jibberish, if it weren't for aesop and mr. lif and murs, def jux would never get off the ground.

[fen0m]

you have NO idea what you're talking about dude

[bryancme]

you don't know shit merlinblerlin dumb ass!

[beautifulmal]

you forgot about C. Ox

[nagahide13]

Wait.... Aesop is sick as fuck, and EL-P speaks gibberish? Eeek. They're all sick, but Aesop is mos def the one who speaks nonsense... second only to Sage Francis.

[p4illip]

Yea...sage speaks gibberish......

[nagahide13]

I was putting it in their terms. None of them actually speaks gibberish, but Sage is by far the most vague.

[Jackalz]

Has never listened to ISWYD

[crogger456]

Dj Abilities=Awesome

[eastoahu]

fucking dope. the beat is sick..

[n0s1r]

SOMEBODY CALL AN AMBULANCE! El-p was killin them bars! If you didnt like this I think you got lost, your looking for 50cent... Oh wait, his career is already over (they come and go so fast...) You guys like who is it? Young "Jeezy" or something? Yeah, either way, big ups to Def Jux.

[yamaha222]

this is shit. you guys talk to much about nothin

[JDMHustler]

lol, this guy is a moron

[eklectyk]

RJD2 is def one of my favorites! We've got a dope trailer for an Independent Hip Hop Documentary on the eklectyk channel. RJD2 is featured in it... check it out!

[GooStudios]

temper temper. but sage francis is a bitch. long live def jux. im going to see rj next week. word.

[emceewhiterabbit]

NAS says hip hop is dead... i say kill NAS and stick on some AESOP

[DatVillain83]

No disrespect to DEF JUX cause I like all their artists (minus a couple exceptions) but they can't alarm that attention that NAS can with an indie label selling 100,000 is Albums (Which is still GOOD actually great for an indy) but the difference with DEF JUX is their careers revolve around the resurrection, progression & collective conciousness that it (HIP HOP) is DEAD.

[XxbestofthebestxX]

I totally agree with you on that.

[DatVillain83]

Bottom line- Mainstream Hip Hop has been killing MOST people's RESPECT for the Hip Hop culture regardless if DEF JUX exists & thats a problem that NEEDS to be addressed and voiced to MILLIONS. So get off your pedal stool. And if y can't see it I think you should take your own advice and Kill YOURSELF. genius!

[DatVillain83]

Nas Keeps it real from a poets perspective (I guarantee your corny WHITE ASS doesn't listen to NAS... aight fine. but don't criticize something u don't know about).

DEF JUX is Hip HoP. EL-P & AESOP are Hip Hop. NAS is DEF Hip Hop. and You are NOT. I advise U start listenin to some more faggot ass SHIT like Sage Francis or somethin. Your ignorrant comment about my nigga NAS is str8 ignorant.

[emceewhiterabbit]

you uptight mother fucker, i wasn't disrespecting NAS dickhead, merely stating my love for the latter. how can you even start to disrespect me being white? you call me the ignorant one? go fuck yourself, go listen to p diddy you faggot

[DatVillain83]

I hate P.Diddy. But if you weren't paying attention I said DEF JUX is Hip Hop. I've been an EL-P fan since Company Flow son. and don't front, U did disrespect NAS. "i say kill NAS " right from YOUR mouth!!

[emceewhiterabbit]

that was play fighting man, i don't know how it could have offended you so much that you gotta do three posts and attack my race, i listened to nas before def jux, i thought he was fresh at first but now it feels like he's fallen a lot, that hip hop is dead track is straight wack, even you can see that

[monkeyman212]

What the hell is wrong with Sage Francis!? :(

[MasuneRa]

yo, why you gotta be creating problems bruh, nobody came at you like that. Some people just wanna start shit.

[cinaster7]

E L dash Producto Is Sick on the MIC I wish I was there! Long live REAL HIP HOP!! Peace

[stottpie]

is this nuked?

[dholidaze]

I know, I feel like punching a pregnant mother... with triplets. DJX is the ish tho!

[knarris]

oooooooooooo maaaaaaaaaaaaa gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad­h

[zelemont]

Wow El-P is alot better live than i figured hed be. I don't know why, but I hate El-P. I like his rapping and LOVE his beats, but for some reason every time I look at him i feel like punching a baby.

[MaineSucks]

werd... its the whole trucker hat and smug ass look on his face. but he ripped it at this show for sure.

[EvilChurchiLLa]

this was really tight.

[Mr6Sozac]

^ ha ha ha X_X

[killerskillet]

NONE BETTER THAN ABILITIES. For Persons With... is a must have CD.

[stottpie]

[crazyb4566]

[monkeyman212]

[psychoabile]

El-P ti amo!!

[Aldla]

"tru the only form of calm not tapped is trapped strong in the cranium of future rebel infants whistling this song... I know your listening, get down with this bitch whistle along." so fukin crisp when he spits that live.

[raist2]

This is from 2002.

[caspermilktoast]

el-p should only be allowed to perform in tacet

[burnedfaceless]

This shit is ILL, kids.

[claptonman]
