Their Funcrusher lp is on my all-time Hip Hop 25 list. But it looks like the rest of the world doesn't seem to care anymore. In 1997 they made Hip Hop sound the way it's supposed to sound like, ruff, rugged & raw.

I really didn't like them (except the below song) when they came out ... and I tried.

their homie had that one line "on the mic I have more presence ("present"s) than attendance in a class of schizophrenics. Here here"





that was dope.

Funcrusher made it OK to leave the hats out on your beats

If i was in NY i would certainly go.

I never got Co Flow.





The Juggaknots on the undercard, though? I fucking love the Clear Blue Skies LP. I'd go to see them.

Co-Flow, is whats up!

Not listened to Funcrusher Plus in a long time. This I regularly revisit:

Dope line, but people keep getting Schizophrenia confused with Multiple personality disorder!

8 steps.......





I was EXACTLY the same, didn't feel anything else but this track!

Not a Company Flow record, but it definitely an El-P feel. I always dug this joint.

When i firts saw that "end to end burners" video, many years ago, i was totaly amazed.


It seemed so new, these 3D flesh and and animated graffiti.


I shouldn't have rewatch it in 2011, didn't aged so well.


I think it is the same for Company Flow (and Cannibal ox), but i can't deny that


they really brought something new into hip hop and from that point of view


Funcrusher plus is kinda a classic even if i never feel the need to listen to it.

 

[Junior]

I remember hearing a lot of Funcrusher Plus round friend's houses when it came out and I did the obligatory tape cover of it but it never really grabbed me despite it seeming like something I could get behind. I think I just used to skip through the tape to play the one using the line from Streets Of New York (Last Good Sleep maybe?). I don't think I'd really want to revisit it anytime soon.





Envious of those getting to see the Juggaknots though.

for those interested in..

I pretty much only liked The Fire in Which You Burn by the Indelible MC's...and then a lil later I kinda liked that End to End Burners video. But that was it for me. To me, El-P represented the first incarnation of internet rap, which was typically skill-oriented, conspiracy theory laden, college campus rap, taking cues from prior Organized Konfusion songs to the hilt. Unfortunately for them, none of the artists that came up during that period ever did a single thing as good as had Organized Konfusion.

This is both on-point and insightful.
