The Bomb Squad
As far as originality and pushing the envelope goes, only the above five beatmakers are seeing him, and overall I'd put him over the Bomb Squad (it ain't Hank and Keith's fault that the law stifled em... but it did stifle em).
The dynamics on ISWYD are ridiculous... like Kanye West and Jon Brion should make a suicide pact ridiculous. "Tasmanian Pain Coaster" for the first time is the most exciting experience with a hip-hop record (not in a goddamn that Clipse album is finally dropping way, but in a Oh my God I just pressed play and this shit is coming out of my speakers) I've listened to since the flip on Edan's "Making Planets", which it's lightyears beyond anyhoo.
Timbaland is another person who should kill himself after hearing this - while he and Lil Jon are busy jacking trance and techno records for ideas, El-P took industrial shit and made it sound like angels vibrating their lips against my balls.
His use of synths = A
The beats in general = A+. He makes samples his bitch, man. I'm all for traditional hip-hop, but there are too many simple ass good but not great beats out there that exist because mediocre producers hide their lack of ideas behind lies that they just wanna keep it real.
People oughta be taking note on the way he uses negative space. And the way he uses guest artists.
a lot of has been said about el-p's rapping. i like his rapping. it definitely fits the music. "paradise lost" is in blank verse for a reason. his lyrics are dope - he's like keith olbermann and philip dick's grimy bastard child.
* if you like boom bap
* if you wanna hear something new
* if you have an even slightly open mind
go find this album and listen to it on anything that produces decent sound and listen to it (please don't pm me for a link, i won't notice it for days and while now that i think about it i probably will notice my pms because i will remember having typed about them in a post it's valentine's day and i think after lost airs i will go scrounge up lonely pussy and exploit it and anyways, uh, read this post again).
if you don't fall into the above, listen to it anyway and thank me later.
