[gosk8n]

the drums are so sick on this as of everything else

[Limp2010Bizkit]

the last huzzah brought me here

[bravepercennius]

can anyone substantiate the rumor that El-P had a huge cocaine problem, which is a part of his 200k+ debt, which played a part in scrapping Def Jux?

I remember this circulating.

[cancereverywhereigo]

@bravepercennius Go on his blogspot and ask, he'll probably reply. Maybe with sarcasm but a reply is a reply loool

[GCash76]

DOPE!

[TH89]

dope video

[hibbityhooblah07]

i think this video explores the effect of media on people and how it controls us, and how we don't even realize it, and anyone outside of the norm is being watched- people pointing guns at el-p idunno just my thought

[Mrbeepxtreme120]

@hibbityhooblah07 Yeah, he's talking about how the media used 9/11 to put fear inside the people, "A hundred and sixty-six channels lit, To train that animal shit". This song was made right after 9/11 happened, plus you see a video of 9/11. The video expresses the situation with the people at that time, everyone was afraid, and trusted no one.

[nikeskater416]

@Mrbeepxtreme120

I don't think it's necessarily 9/11 he meant by that line, I think he meant television aka "the hypnobox" altogether. I agree with what you're saying though.

[obwunn]

50 people got guns pointed to their heads...and for the love of god run.

[hymencrushaboo]

EL Pro... separated was the thick line between bullshit and concrete music...

[ballin852]

this is shit

[PKRFEEN08]

@ballin852

You're shit.

[Flammazine]

I'm right here holding my nuts too, and a copy of Big 'Uns

[astumpe80]

Props to EL-P for seeing Rawkus for what they really were while many other "independents" fell for their BS....

[CamerOneiric]

9 years later and i'm still blown away...R.I.P. Definitive Jux..

[Mo3kI]

thats a damn cool video

[lesstutrey]

I always took the meaning of the guns to be us being held at gunpoint by the corporate world and we don't even really realize it. Hence he never pays much attention to them, and is constantly held at gun point whenever he spends money.

[wordsliketurds]

Thirsting for a new El-P, instrumentals aren't enough.

[LfunkeyA]

good shit

[MrSqueezi]

Great. Greetz from Berlin

[fidoalieno]

Excuse-me El-P, which sense has my life ?



[rayzian]

silver apples sample gives me goosebumps

[misremembered72]

the point where he walks in the studio is the only time guns are pointed at anyone but himself. shows how labels try to keep a strong hold on their artists. just a thought from captain obvious

[intoxsik]

@AbakusMusic You do realize I was responding to someone who asked for an explanation of the video, right?

Way to make yourself look stupid :)

[RELover5]

Better than any other white rapper, period.

Fantastic Damage is a brilliant album and this track gives me shivers.

[yogiyovifuckyocouch3]

My fav Indian rapper.

[PabzGLRP]

I made out that Silver Apples sample right away. It's samples like this that put El-P's beats on another level.

[thestevester94]

I wish he didn't over produce so I could hear his lyrics.

[aotearoastyle]

@thestevester94 Nothing over produced about this , Try listening to it at a higher audio quality

[BLANK1331]

this dudes flow makes no sense, but the video is pretty good has a good message.

[Pixieism]

@BLANK1331 Haha you're so right it makes no sense. Check out the lyrics. "Joe vs. the Volcano suicide beef Dance with the vinyl monster Devil in a blue skyline with clean conscience Save the gesture But can't save the children, weren't worth the effort I'm a Caveman Your modern ways frighten and confuse me I watch your spirit box with the blinking lights and think Are those little people trapped in that box? (No, Caveman)"

[Rankmoistmeat]

@Pixieism Im sure if you showed that to El-P, he would find some deep meaning to it though

Anyways, you seem to be on the good guy's side in music, so would you consider this good?

/watch?v=NJWUfyB2cFU

thanks

[nikeskater416]

@BLANK1331

I think you'd have to sit down and chop down bar by bar and try to interpret half of what the shit he says..and the other half might be personal or super obscure references no one will get, but that's what makes it so ungodly mindblowing...you can make sense out of it, my favorite line is "166 channels lit, to train that animal shit".

In addition to the subconscious weapon our fears have us pointing at each other the subtle suicidal lifestyle causes most to aim a weapon at their own heads.

[Flintcityboy99]

never heard of this dude

shit nice

[ericwehler]

@Flintcityboy99 If you have not heard of El-P, please look him up and his label Def Junx. Hell, check out his older shit, Company Flow. Either way, you will not go wrong.

[BlowmeDood]

Notice how EL-P interacts with those who DON'T have guns... And also notice who's guns are bigger. Some food for thought on this. El-P is nothing less than fucking genius in everything he does artistically.

[3521soda]

the guns are there because everyones watching their back no one trusts anyone

[ryanhuong]

ILL beat

ILL flow

ILL video

[88joey88]

Love the guy that got two murrfuggahs covered at once (1.52)

[nathanoman1]

its pretty fuckin obvious

[emu163]

even this ginger twat used to be about something good at one time this is probably one of the best beats he has done during the 00`s, signed to rawkus I would rather be mouthfucked by nazis unconcious, well look at def jux=I

[spicysoccerskills]

I was looking up top 10 best white rappers, and this guys was on there... i really regret watching this video. I can rap better then this clown

[noiz87]

@spicysoccerskills Well he's a producer first, rapper second. And oh, he sounds infinitely better than most of the "o.g." black cats out there these days.

[edgrrr101]

@spicysoccerskills prove it, do something put something out there, el-p is one of the best rappers ever full stop.

[responseability]

this song/video is the story of my life

[orel2064]

[totaluntruth]

el p is way cooler than almost every rapper in the game.

[kraftboy]

@TruthSmack

I strongly recommend you not to. But this song is quite a great classic.

[Ungortable]

@TruthSmack I strongly recommend you go away? Stop spreading conspiracist shit. We won't ever know, so why guess?

[TruthSmack]

@Ungortable Weak minded fool

[SirRobbins]

everytime I hear this song, I think of that damn ostrich rapping

[bluebow23]

This video seems like how people are and the way things are in dreams.Love it.

[chanrider]

3:20 reminds me of "the runts" from city of god.

[blackbloc1]

top El-p song! Wheres the new album? ASR-10 with the thick beat! Classic shit from an all time classic album

[BUTTER4178]

sweet

[harddivej]

htis is dope

[DamnedSandwich]

beat is wild, el-p the truth. not enough rappers out there addressing important social issues, the media's fear perpetuation, exploring the deeper regions of the human psychy, and injecting poetry into their rhymes anymore. everybody just wanna sound off about their swag, their shine, their bitches, and in turn sell us all a dream that they probably don't really live and we couldn't all possibly achieve simultaneously.

[dn157523]

@DamnedSandwich all ppl used to rap about in the 90s was tht shit where were u?

[bluebow23]

@dn157523 FUCK HELL YA DUDE!!!

[TheScienceofArt]

@DamnedSandwich ain' that the truth tho, couldn't have said it any better than that...fuck swag

[31silo]

[typecastaaron]

[chanrider]

@typecastaaron most people don't know that the guy in the cab is actually the one rapping. i'm surprised you knew that.

[MarzioBalducci82]

Solvino Blood Bullets NWO Coin

[BrewsNiceWitAGrit414]

he reminds me of a white MF Doom. im not ribn. hes got a crazy style

[seattletyrida]

166 channels to train that animal shit!

[joeleeney]

The guns are a representation of the attitudes that are a consequence of their stigma. It's not paranoia because the people aren't pointing the guns at each other, just him and his crew. It's not "people are out to get you" because the people aren't offensive, they're *defensive*. The whole point is the assumptions that people make, and that they themselves and/or people similar to them specifically are the targets of this attitude.

[TruthSmack]

@joeleeney Or it is like Plato's analogy of a cave. When someone comes correct with the truth. Then it will be your own that will be your biggest enemy. When he comes back to free his family inside the cave they kill him.

[starzus]

@TruthSmack wicked symbolic vid. Yes when the escapee from the Platos cave comes back to the cave to try and spread the TRUTH he's seen to the others still inside the cave,- at best the cave dwellers call him a madman, at worst he is killed.

[TravisSecrets]

Seems to me like the guns are the peoples subconscious.... No matter where you go there is always those people out to get you. And there is also those select few that are not.... Thats my perception.

[SuperDarkHamster]

can someone explain the meaning of the guns?

[hatonerz]

@SuperDarkHamster

think the meaning is that you shouldn't trust no one

[SuperDarkHamster]

@hatonerz thanks, that makes sense...

[intoxsik]

@SuperDarkHamster in my opinion, the guns stand for our own paranoia. We have been taught by mass media hysteria to live in fear, fear of other nations, fear of each other, even fear of ourselves. The guns are meant to show that we have been conditioned to be terrified of each other.

[guerilla619]

@intoxsik you pretty much nailed america on the head. a country being scared by the media to influence a whole nation to take a point of view. America, i feel sorry for you

[aotearoastyle]

@intoxsik We havnt been taught to fear , its a natural human emotion . If we weren't educated on government schemes we would still fear . One mans freedom is another mans fear so the only thing we have been taught , is this fabricated lies that we are free . The only time we are free is during our births . After that we are guided by corrupt government motions and movements schemes and plans that don't involve the common man and woman !

[ElBoogieAmworld]

@intoxsik the guns represent the prison state we live in, the world may seem free, but our government has us locked down, like prisoners. u r very correct, people in this country have no trust in one another, and its a shame because like u said, its a false condition that we have been bread into.....There is always sum type of survailance, police, facebook, google, even our cable boxes have cameras in them now, WE NEED TO DO SUMTHIN NO JUST TALK....

[300daysandnights]

@intoxsik it's like bill hicks says, you can choose to lock your doors and live in fear or choose to live in love. at least something like that.

[slickdickdafoola]

@intoxsik you on the point but i think its a symbol of how we are held at gun point by an invisble pistol. everyone of our lives are threatend when we even think of thinking out of the norm(what we are told to think buy eat and support)It all boils down to 2 words..peer pressure..on the trigger that is

[MistaJeeziz]

@intoxsik in my humble opinion. youre a pussy. straight up. if you lived in the hood you'd know retard. fuck you!

[intoxsik]

@MistaJeeziz What the hell are you talking about?

[bri343]

@intoxsik or maybe fear of some monkey robbing you or bashing your head in. yeah its the media's fault

[intoxsik]

@TheZigga7 That's what's so nice about this song, it's a like a poem. Everyone views it in their own way and finds their own meaning in it :) Neither of our ideas are wrong, we're just looking at it through a different lens.

[shadowblade1989]

@intoxsik knives are faster then bullets u may not think so then dont cuz i know ")

[SodaSession]

@SuperDarkHamster i was thinking the guns represented the pressures applied by society

[seattletyrida]

@SuperDarkHamster

It's a symbolism for fear

[NUTWAVE]

samples from an old duo called silver apples, one clever video that hits the nail on the head pure fear and loathing in reality.

[SimmyTV2]

[ontherush77]

Why would someone so shit give themselves the same name as one of the best progressive rock bands of all time?
