Dude needs to release an album.

I like this song, the chorus is kind-off grating.

Glad you posted that, I didn't wanna bloat the intro post. KEXP has fantastic live performances, I am jealous of Seattle.

It's so hard to find material by him I'm surprised he isn't more popular in the underground scene. This guy rhymes over some of the best beats in the underground.

Verses start @5:20 ish. They don't sound too freestylish, I have my doubts. I feel like the definition of the word has changed.

Yeah, that's not freestyle. Also, that whole video felt super awkward to me. Do those two even like each other? On instagram, somebody asked El-P when Despot is going to make an album and El said something like "I'm not Despot's fucking manager" even though he never responds to any of the dumb instagram comments he gets.
Little dude has a real nice beard though. And he sounds kinda like Eminem when Eminem used to sound good.

engine a bonafide "perez hilton" of alternative hip hop sphere now it would seem

El-P is always awkward, in every video, you should have seen that by now.

yeah your right

i deleted the post that was here because it was of little worth

However, as far as El-P and Despot go, I'm willing to bet they're on pretty solid ground.

If El-P doesn't like someone, he usually doesn't tour with, promote, or continue acknowledging them. Just ask Vast Aire...
