hey
before Run the Jewels
the white guy from Run the Jewels
put out a couple albums that were better than Run the Jewels

a bucket of puke left in the sun would be better than run the jewels

>>126990388 (OP)
oh wow def jux such a deep unkown cultural secret

>break out of the underground with some modest success
>never release a solo album again and milk RTJ way past its life
you hate to see it

>>126990388 (OP)
Fantastic Damage and it's connection to 9/11:

I stopped listening to Killer Mike after the grindtime tapes

>>126990468
>oh wow def jux such a deep unkown cultural secret
99.999% of people in the continental United States couldn’t tell you what a “Def Jux” was with a gun pointed at their fat fucking faces.

>>126990468
Fuck off to your okplayer bubble

>>126990894
if you know who Aesop Rock is and spend 10 minutes looking him up you will inevitably know about Definitive Jux

R.A.P. music is also better than Run the Jewels and solo El-P. I've put that shit on dozens of times.

>>126992196
Yeah R.A.P.s good but IPATTG1&2 mogs it out of orbit. IPATTG2 mogs anything he's ever done, he could've elevated that level and pledged for more grindtime tapes. The hunger was real he was killing it with those tapes

DEAD THUGS HUG SLUG METAL LIKE MOLTEN
DE-EVOLVE THUG, CRAWL BACK IN THE OCEAN

FAT THIGHS CHAFE IN THE SUMMER FROM HUMIDITY (HUMID UNHUMAN)
BRAINS THAT BLOOM TULIPS, CAUGHT BETWEEN ANIMAL THOUGHTS AND WHAT WAS TAUGHT BY CONFUCIUS (B-BOY LUCID)

IRREGULAR PREDATOR WITH BAD BRAIN MAGIC
MAGIC IS A SIEGFRIED AND ROY WITH BOY SPECIAL

SHOW ME THOSE NEW YORK EYES
ISOLATION EATS AT THE FACE OF FRINGE BITERS

HOLLOW METAL SLUGS PENETRATED
JUST DEMONSTRATED
FUCK YOUR FAKE FACE I HATE IT

Checked

>>126990388 (OP)
It's been 13 years since the last proper solo EL-P album. If we get RTJ5 before a follow up I swear to God

>>126990388 (OP)
His production on Cannibal Ox's The Cold Vein is great

>>126991190
do you think aesop rock is a household name in america?

>>126992901
You are on the music board in a hip hop thread, sir.

>>126990468
To zoomers yeah. That strain of hip-hop was killed off for not being too smart and not antisocial enough

>>126990388 (OP)
/tv/ was wrong
Appears that there's signs of life here

https://youtu.be/gc7RxSfxnqY?

EMERSON LAKE PALMER AKA DIRTY LAVA SPRAY HARDER
WHAT A MARVELOUS MARTYR MAKER

>>126993152
There is very faint signs of life, like a deep coma or a ninja that can slow his heartbeat.
The good news is the board is so slow you can keep a good (or more likely bad) thread alive forever.

>>126990388 (OP)
What went wrong with run the jewels? El p was better before it

>>126993983
They made more than two records.

>>126993983
it got too popular and deep down he really wanted to make deadpool humor midlife crisis EPMD larp shit I guess

>>126994006
You the phrase "being contrarian isn't a personality"? It's like this dude has made being contrarian to contrarians his personality. Odd.

>>126994077
Oops, wrong thread. Disregard this I suck cocks.

this was a formative album in my life along with CanOx and I still listen to it frequently, but I don't know how recognized it still is
seems like it has the correct reputation

>>126993597
Despite what some say I think this is a good thing
We're experiencing a difficult period in so how we share/process/listen to music. IT's overload. But there's nothing short of intelligent albeit memeing anons here to gatekeep, it's noticeable more than ever. Imo, this obscurity reasserts a kind of charm.

t. in short there's enough blood and brevity pumping to keep this thing alive

>>126990388 (OP)
Is anyone making hip hop as good as this?

>>126994492
Aesop Rock is still going very strong. Related but also Homeboy Sandman.

Hey I was in the /tv/ thread
>>126992547
his executive decisions made Can Ox good. Their work without El-P just isn't up to par
>>126995263
>Sandman mentioned
I didn't realize how many tracks they made together outside of the Lice mixtapes until I looked into it this year
>Aesop Rock is still going very strong
I haven't listened to this year's album yet but I'm sure it's good

>>126995810
All the Lice stuff was great. "Cats" is a great track.

>>126990388 (OP)
Deep Space 9mm was the first song that made me like hip hop.

>>126995263
>Aesop Rock is still going very strong.
eh, his last two albums have been misses
i need to give blackhole another listen but i doubt it will change my opinion much

>>126995810
Can Ox without El-P is like Clipse without the Pharrell and Chad. Doesn't work no matter what formula is tried. New Clipse is without Chad, yeah we'll see

Some people (not you anon) really don't get how fucking ace, El-P was behind the boards. A solo El-P record is worth its salt in gold

hey ho

no shit dog

>>126990468
If you were to go by stats and play counts alone yes, yes it is

>>126990468
Zoomies should watch:

>>126992547
>Cannibal Ox's The Cold Vein
I TOTALLY FORGOT ABOUT THAT ONE
didn't listen to that in 15 years
Listening now
