Top 10 Albums (no particular order) Kendrick Lamar: Good Kid, m.a.a.d. City "Swimming Pools (Drank)" Kendrick Lamar has the Outkast factor.  I can listen to his songs, intently focusing on the lyrics while getting lost in the scenes he vividly describes, or I can zone out, not pay attention to what he’s saying and dance to the beat while singing along with the incredibly infectious hooks.  GKMC feels like 3 Stacks and Big Boi [...]

Are your ready for a weekend of beats, rhymes, and mayhem? Dust off your flyest kicks and your Cazale shades, because it's summertime, and there's rap in the air. New York boom-bap demigod El-P (video below), who recently released his 5th solo studio album on Fat Possum Records, "Cancer 4 Cure," will rock Irving Plaza this Friday the 13th. If post-apocalyptic jazz-rap is not exactly your bent, then you can skip over to the Mercury Lounge for a heavy dose of Funky with Brooklyn's dance-rap outfit Deathrow Tull and funk-damentalist Bernie Worrell [...]

It's been a big year for rapper and producer El-P . Producing not one, but two critically acclaimed rap albums, the Brooklyn hip-hop veteran is back, and his signature in-your-face beats are as abrasive as ever. His most recent album Cancer 4 Cure , released on May 28 through Fat Possum Records, is his first since the end of his own Definitive Jux label in 2010, and is being hailed by fans and critics alike as one of the best hip-hop records of the year. Known for his fast, corrosive flow and his loud, chaotic beats, El-P is [...]

Action Bronson Best ambient albums, best hip-hop albums, and best reissues lists are on the way.

This one might be a competitor for video of the year. For “The Full Retard,” off Cancer For Cure (Definitive Jux), El-P takes absurdity to its epic maximum. How? By clubbing with a crazy squirrel (don’t worry ASPCA, it’s a puppet). For an already awesomely weird song, this hilariously literal interpretation of “party animal” is the perfect [...]

Jaime Meline is a man of understanding. He’s understanding about the music he makes, he’s understanding about the music business and (record sales), and he’s especially understanding when I have to hang up during our phone interview twice because my phone decides to cut out the sound on my end. Over the course of our conversation, it becomes quite clear that the man better known as El-P has no problem expressing his opinion. It should be no surprise that this is especially true concerning music. I note in my review [...]

Réalisé par Timothy Saccenti , le clip de « The Full Retard » devrait vous donner envie de vous pencher sur le très bon « Cancer for Cure » qui vient tout juste de sortir dans les bacs. Une réalisation marrante qui semble être faite à la cool avec les potes, mais le tout reste efficace.

Instant classic. Between Cancer4Cure and Killer Mike 's album , El-P is living like its 2000 all over again.

Ecoute, c’est les égoûts de New York. La grosse pomme, ville cosmopolite, colorée et qui ne dort jamais. A écouter El-P, on aime New York mais pas celui des lumières, celui 4 pieds sous terre.

Some hilarious visuals coming from El-P on this new music video for "the Full Retard," which is a track from the New York rapper's latest album, Cancer For Cure . It's like a weird, coked-out scene from Fear and Loathing In Las Vegas , except the Dr. Gonzo to El-P's Raoul Duke is a ratty-lookin' squirrel puppet. / via /

New York underground hip-hop legend El-P had quite the month of May.  He produced Killer Mike’s critically acclaimed album R.A.P. Music as well as his own solo album, the fantastic Cancer 4 Cure .  El-P’s abstract delivery is still intact, but C4C is his most accessible release since his Company Flow days and his flow seems to have caught up with his acclaimed production chops.  His lead single “The Full Retard” received this awesome video treatment featuring a drug fueled, psychotic puppet running wild in NYC with El-P.  Grab the album .
