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

If you're from that Rawkus era and understood what that whole movement stood for it would be easy to see why they where so lauded in backpack central.I personally loved Funcrusher but it did not age well imo..to his credit,if you take the time to dissect Producto's lines he is not a slouch when it comes to lyrics.His flow lacks though and the impact of the lyrics suffer from it.

I land somewhere in the middle though I lean towards the former. i mean, look at him.

CoFlow was TERRIBLE too. maybe 4 dope songs. They ARE POTS AND PANS BEATS. Them. When dudes made fun of pots and pans rap it was Co Flow. Now, his solo stuff was waaaaaay better and the CanOx album was crazy but is he worthy of the praise? He's irritating me on Twitter right now with talk of dimensions and stupid shyt so I made a thread. I also never know what the fukk he's saying when he raps. Nor care, really.

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

:mindblown: breh nah you bugging now. I agree El-P can be insufferable at times but I'd be lying if I said this joint right here didn't have me buggin out on "Soundbombing 2"

I rocked with Company Flow. Funcrusher Plus had some gems on it. I thought his first solo record was cool too. And of course, his production on the Cold Vein. El-P is cool. Not my favorite producer/mc but definitely far from wack.

I always felt like he ushered in those corny elitist underground CAC fans i cant stand
That is correct. Nerd rap blossomed after he dropped.

Dude is well respected by hip hop...

but I can probably only tolerate a handful of his tracks. His rapping is annoying and his beats match his annoying rap style. In my host opinion, dude is wack as fukk. Not even sure how some of yall can cosign some of these beats dropped in this thread. Absolute wackness.

The idea that El-P ruined Mike's career :mjlol:

Mike was going nowhere before he dropped R.A.P. Music.

He would be Freeway status without El-P linking up with him. He's now eating off that Pitchfork money.

This is false.

He has a more diverse ( white ) fanbase now..

But Underground Atlanta and the Pledge Series gave him a large southern rap following. Mike has worked with damn near all of these Atlanta rappers before they got on

Love his beats and production style. Can't get into his rapping at all and find his persona pretentious as hell. Can't front on his talent tho

Wish he was never born...him making wack ass beats for, and taking verses away from Killer Mike is like Will Perdue being player-coach for the 90s Dynasty Bulls and running plays for himself in the clutch instead of MJ

Funcrusher Plus is a masterpiece.


funcrusher plus is one of the wackest albums ever made in history.
plus, is a neo-nazi like racist submission gateway.
Used as propaganda for the son of Rupert Murdoch.
Coupled with fard/hiphopinfinity.com.
To ccarveout a racist white only brand of rap.
built on pretty much being the anti uberverse puff in whiteface on the underground.

fukk.el.p., company flow and rawkus records,.too
