This is what I call hip hop evolution. Please do not stop making it.

[@christopherlowery3797]

If you haven’t already, check out Run the Jewels (El-P & Killer Mike’s duo). If you like this, you’ll fucking love that.

[@kiloai]

@@christopherlowery3797 Already have it all. Waiting for the 4. Coming out soon or... The "Ooh La La" song is amazing.

[@ogawasanjuro]

Yo! El-P clearly heard you, because his stuff is still evolving and getting better! This is my first time hearing this and I am totally mesmerized!

[@kiloai]

@@ogawasanjuro you got to listem to Chiddy Bang os also a good rapper. Good songs you will listen.

[@dand2810]

this guy is the only rapper i have ever heard in my life that sounds better live than on the record...and that's saying a lot, because his records are gooooood

[@alank1220]

A reply 10 years later on your comment, but Despot has always blown me away with his live performances. His enunciation, breath control, and delivery is outstanding. Especially if you see stuff like the Tougher Colder Killer live performances.

[@lovinlife909]

Im going to be blasting this in my retirement home

[@SoulRider.222]

Me too! And I don't mean the new me too fad. I mean El Producto is a legend.

[@LeiderIch]

These words are set in stone

[@apriltullis7765]

Mee too!... And I'm almost there 😂

[@CrAck-MoNey]

I came to the party late, but I'll be rockin' this every day from here on out!

[@shaddozer0ne115]

Yeah...this is that bang BANG...WHEW!

[@kiloai]

Never too late when is about catching up the evolution. As soon as you get it you also get evolved. I mean Hip Hop evolution.

[@jackpfiester5013]

Modern hip hop done so so right. Beats sick as hell and actually spitting something worthwhile. Oh and musicians. Imagine that.

[@alondathomas293]

For real---I'm loving the guitar and keyboard sounds on here---sounds like something from a '70s crime movie soundtrack,lol. Who's that rapping with EL-P, btw? Anybody know?

[@RWS402]

people that sample scare me too, bro

[@C-beezy]

The studio cut of this song is great but this, this is amazing. I love the production of the video, and the sound of this cut. Outstanding.

[@kiloai]

The echo effect on his songs are amazing and the beats are phantasmagorical. Love it. Even his songs in RTJ. Maaann!!!

[@necromax13]

The masterfully placed echo effect on the vocals is imo the most underrated part of the El-P/RTJ sound. Makes every lyric hit harder.

[@DallasWiebelhaus]

Modern day Masterpiece.

[@jayeff4723]

Is there a better MC out there? I doubt that there is. Love your coment

[@Vuchatra]

On the same page, i don't think there is too.

[@erictim9052]

Boxguts, JakProgresso, Buttress. El-P is up there though

[@omphilemakiri9655]

Everytime I listen to the album I just have to keep coming back for this version.

[@adognido]

like this more than the album version

[@michaeldenvir]

This is awesome. Even better than the record. Great work everyone.

[@frasertalbot6589]

"it sucks to be nothing, nobody struts when their down on their knees" So says 99% of the worlds population, true dat.

[@sunnygrewal8824]

Company flow. Aesop rock is great to see live. I'm old, and saw him walk on a set with ant and slug....

[@ferndog681]

+sunny grewal them and evidence from dilated never disappoint

[@GabrielHalle]

Just discovering this session today. Fck it’s too good

[@ozamatazbuckshank4246]

El-P restored my faith in hip-hop. How is this guy not known?

[@SkySplitterInk]

RTJ :^)

[@zgok]

He's hella well known. Seen a record of his at a store yesterday

[@jmart2321]

Run the jewels is oddly more popular than el-p himself. Idk why

[@jesusf8362]

Banging beats. Top tier lyrics and delivery. Over the top cheesy el-p fashion. What else could you want? A Christmas sweater?

[@StrengeHenk]

This shit live!!?? Unbelievable....awesome! !

[@lowlowseesee]

this song has one of my favorite el p intros, it goes so hard on the build

[@mattsmoove83]

I wish mainstream rappers would realize the effort that artists like El-P puts into his music. Might make them step their game up!

[@johnveloz9640]

El-P consistently brings dat next level shit then kills it and tops himself.

[@DrMooseknuckle0]

El-P is the most criminally underrated rapper/producers in the game.

[@ericthorpe5670]

Well this is too sick! I've been in love with Cancer for Cure for years, but I'm super late to the party with this. So dope.

[@lordkevork]

This has to be the best version of drones..

[@SupergreenMedia]

This guy is a genius....

[@cfobia]

El_Producto. Sick sick Quarantine EL sick

[@ogawasanjuro]

This is 11 year old stuff? NO WAY!!!! My first time hearing it and I can't stop listening!

[@MCEEZR]

still mesmerizing

[@danbuckneree]

This is so good I'm afraid to watch the '$4 Vic' video recorded at the same spot, if its as good as this call an ambulance for me.

[@Molentik]

Ambu arrived yet?

[@ronckr1]

Magnificent.

[@camillesumner-zm5wo]

El-P can seriously do it all

[@Gomie44]

music happening, spontaneous magic beats flowing, rhymes evaporating, synchronicity existing, common culture co-habitating. Wish I was there banging on a bongo.

[@nlibra2]

OMG the beat!

[@xanadu989]

well. that was fucking amazing.

[@jnbeatnik]

Think this has got to be the best (hip-hop) beat of all time

[@scribbinthescribe1126]

he did the off the ave stuff at like 9am. I find that impressive lol I know I don't want to do shit at 9am

[@michaeldagger6659]

Definitely better than the album version amazing stuff soo cook el p is the definitive indie rapper producer of his generation. End of.

[@mafipulater]

This beat is SO fucking sick.

[@Boyitellyouhwhat]

I know it’s 2024 but holy shit this is next level

[@nylesthe3rd]

this is music!

[@Zvvk300]

WHAT!!!!!YES

[@i.dig.wax.5805]

Wow! He needs to make an entire album or DVD like this with a live band.

[@DJDinnerPlaTe]

This song reminds me alot of the crystal method. Just dope ass electronic beats.

[@iswsipoczeti9722]

This is it!

[@offtheavenue]

Thanks! :D -DP

[@kennethdiaz9602]

This joint is definitely poppin'!

[@ToneSoCooL3]

it is like 3 x's better than the one on the album, it is almost another genre that you can't even really categorize. EL is awesome.

[@HYBRED247]

This is seriously some next level shit, sounds really good, real music right here.

[@miklo1904619]

Love that congo sound !!!Beats knockin!!!

[@collarpimpinbeeng7559]

If I can ever just sit in a room with EL-P that shit would make my day

[@hellowellallen]

still top shelf.

[@SoulRider.222]

El Producto is a madman aka genius. EL-P forever. Definitive Jux aka Def Jux forever.

[@b4zook4tooth]

dopest piece of hip hop with instruments ever recorded

[@Furthericity]

DAMN I somehow missed this version. It's in some ways even better than the album version. DAMN!

[@booshine187]

Dope luv from brooknam

[@eraseme666]

Live instruments. This shit is unbelievably great. EL-P and gang are so talented.

[@AnotherTwinkie]

incredible

[@brandoncobb4646]

I love his voice broke on the bridge! He's the real people's champ to me

[@Lovereignsupreme]

We should all say Thanks to you for this upload! Keep 'em coming :D -KT

[@Lovereignsupreme]

EL-P is magic and this David Plakon guy is the key to another level of understanding...jaw-dropping. Cannot wait to buy me some of this tastiness.

[@maxumusprime]

I'm not even typically a fan of rap but this shit is SOLID.

[@leakedthought]

NASTY!!!!

[@Limesubmusic]

the new sound of rap/hip hop. Forget the bling commercial crap that passes as hip hop rap now days this is the fudging future

[@deadpayphone]

this was killer

[@rrdavik]

so damned good!!

[@Krem_82]

C4C is a masterpiece! Every el solo got better imo

[@SpikeColgate]

kickin! great vibe, flow, tone...

[@sunflowersamurai10]

Orgasmically good performance

[@shaddozer0ne115]

Its 2021 and this train I is better than most rapper's albums today, imo...👏👏👏...get em

[@ninjazz66]

This is fukin sick!

[@derekwaters1980]

Damn I love this shit!!!

[@MrJBleedge]

Dope.

[@gmemetics]

The method is awesome, P

[@Haysuzchristoz]

god damn this is so fucking raw

[@thereallevel27]

Dr who showing up a lot. Nerds rule the world

[@jacksonrowe-williams3426]

This is fucking SICK !!! Better than the album version anyone?!

[@Beunibster]

I replaced it in my playlist. :)

[@ToneSoCooL3]

what genre is this......I think El-P invented a new genre at the moment they recorded this but never took it further, like dup step or trip hop or all that other stuff. maybe it is just the live element over taking the programming and manifesting itself as an organic organism aside from the digital downloads we are used to.

[@eternalphobia2]

+The One Man Boy Band the genre is hip hop m8

[@SuperKaoBei]

what the fuck did you just say

[@mattafaua]

Drones over KZbin!!!

[@lanimal.nokturn]

DOPE SOUND !

[@eseterik78]

It's 2019.....if you still sleeping on Producto then I feel sorry for your mother. The man shits excellence.

[@ea5e95]

GOD I LOVE EL-P

[@dwolivas]

that was dope

[@ajax420336]

Whether it's because he's white or he's not mainstream enough, it's a shame more people don't know about El-P. Honestly one of the most artistic MC's in hip hop history.

[@timtoth818]

Amusing watching El drink Dunkin’ Donuts coffee before dropping verses. I always assumed that dude drank chlorine trifluoride before stepping to the mic.

[@Peppersfirst]

That would definitely block thyroid receptors.

[@timtoth818]

@@Peppersfirst Right!? LOL!

[@ppp-he5lg]

Only 2956 people saw tthis video I lost my faith in humanity El-P is on FIRE here!!

[@ClarksonFisherIII]

HOLY FKKK! This is how it's done! TIGHT BUTTHOLE! Amazing performance. The guitar solo sounded epic as did everything. Is that siren sound the same as used in Tarantino's Kill Bill? I assume this is the same guitarist that played on the record? Or if El-P did that solo on the record, this guy nailed it. I'm afraid I never did my homework to find out who played on the album but I will now. Hearing it here reminded me of Dimebag Darrell for the first time anyone has since Dimebag Darrell. So empowering.

[@ClarksonFisherIII]

Huge props to the production of the live video, live sound, post production too. I'm excited to watch all the other videos on this channel.

[@FUNPOV]

Maestro

[@skeeno666]

EL-p..talklin to you..this is the greatest 16 plus

[@xXxXx-----xXxXx]

I found this on the 50th birthday of Hip Hop, coincidence??

[@Smirk702]

dope dope dope

[@joepike8361]

Shame on me for just discovering this song this year. Amazing.

[@Metalkgood]

Where can I buy THIS cut of the tune? I'd go $25 right now just for the 6 minutes.

[@gripdilla4460]

[@profools2820]

AHHHHHHH

[@ScooteRbeee]

somebody should loop the instrumental from here and upload it.. I like the this version better than the original one!

[@S2R800Monster]

Are you kidding me...this is off the hook!! I feel for the general populous that will never understand this. The masses can keep their little waynes, I want this ill shit.

[@Freehardy]

ah el-p. never afraid to indulge in a bit of prog rock. love it. he should consider a project with yes or seminal british court jesters marillion

[@sunnygrewal8824]

El-p, company flow.
