Is El-P an insufferably wack CAC or a genius?

[Pink Slime]

dope rapper with a creative,, innovative mind and the best producer in hiphop ever and a true bboy. his ear for "ill" is UNMATCHED
always bringin the heat sonically and visually

and u wouldnt call him a cac to his face he would certainly fukk u up

i revisit this promo for C2c like monthly shyt cracks me up

 

[Big Mel]

C4C...CAC

 

[Mastamimd]

Dope producer...one of those MC's where I'm like it he's in a posse track or on a track with a rapper I like I just bear it and wait for the better MC

Kind of like a filler match on a UFC card...you don't care for the fighters but the fight MIGHT be entertaining this time.

 

[Pifferry]

I can see why people didn't like him on RTJ1 but he absolutely mustered RT2 imo.

 

[Kitsch]

Somewhere in the middle.

 

[L@CaT]

In retrspect all those underground CACS that use to get praised in the underground years back were pretty wack.

 

[DoomzdayzV]

8 Steps & End To End Burners are the 2 joints. J Treds was garbage too.

thats a name I aint heard in a million years. His delivery was a little dull but he had those lyrics you had to listen to like 20 times to fully understand....double and triple meanings and shyt.

 

[Julius Skrrvin]

Some good stuff, some wack.

 

[Kitsch]

That being said, he's from the same scene as this dude:

 

[Awesome Wells]

He's been around forever.

Widely respected as an underground great. I remember Company Flow being at RockSteady Reunion around the time they dropped "Juvenile Techniques", and the crowd going absolutely bananas for them! He's done a lot of good work. Funcrusher Plus is an underground classic. So he's got some stripes, and well deserved too.

I like the RTJ stuff, but wish he'd leave the rhyming to Mike though. I can deal with his production, but I just don't wanna hear him rapping. That's my only issue with dude.

 

[be back in a bit]

I don't really like his rapping, he's okay. His beats are dope though. This was probably my favorite hip hop song in 2012. Not many producers can match that beat. The synths, the use of samples, the change ups, just crazy.



The beat on this was crazy too. Those drums.

 

[hex]

I like some of his early shyt....don't even know why, don't understand what he's saying. The vast majority of his shyt I can't get into though.

As far as being an MC....nah. But he's a good/great producer when he wants to be.

Fred.

 

[Deadman187]

I always felt like he ushered in those corny elitist underground CAC fans i cant stand

 

[DJ Mart-Kos]

He makes soulles robotic cac music.
