El-P feat Nick Diamonds - Stay Down (Live on Letterman 2012) [High Quality]

[@TabethaAurochs]

That shit-eating grin on El-P's face when Letterman's next to him saying goodnight is my new most favorite Thing in All of Ever.

[@ssaunders1122]

I'd probably have that grin too. His name just got out to so many people who'd otherwise never heard this banger.

[@DollarJudo]

Just watched for the first time. El-P is absolutely a very real and wild talent. This is an incredible performance.

[@eseterik78]

Real artist man. Some rappers sound like garbage live. This is right on.

[@mckinno]

I have been waiting literally YEARS for this to resurface, thank you so much for this!

[@byHexted]

Holy shit I can’t believe I never knew El-P was on letterman

[@crashfrog3051]

El-P you're a feckin wizard !!!!!

[@sonnylambert4893]

El-P IS HIP HOP!!!❤

[@smashedatoms]

Nick Diamonds yall. El-p is great and I love this weird hip hop corn gang style mashup.

[@oljerzbastard4847]

One of his greatest tracks. 2024 and the album aged like wine.

[@810austin]

Whole album is a timeless masterpiece. I want nothing more than a new El solo project (and RTJ5!)

[@byHexted]

This is a ballsy song to do live on a show like this, I don’t even mean because of how the content might be perceived I mean Bc of how crazy the flow is

[@yenza123]

Dude is different. Love!!!

[@matjohn4092]

This is awesome. I love this song and never knew he performed this on Letterman, I don't watch Letterman. Great exposure he got to an audience that most of have probably never heard of him. I bet Letterman had never heard of him until he was scheduled to be on his show. Lol

[@ricomarez7834]

hot damn

[@MatthewOceanXVX]

Hip hop + indie prog stuff? Fucking love El-P.

[@robotmonthly5512]

did El-P shout out Maurice Sendak?????? :sob:

[@virgiliovillasenor3903]

The rare album

[@matthewJay88]

Damn I never knew he played letterman, they sounded fucking amazing too

[@Sam-gi6up]

This is an absolutely wild performance :O

[@sonnylambert4893]

Everybody check out Company Flow which is El-P group. And his solo signal “ Drones Over Brooklyn” is epic.

[@thorazine666]

[@doognessmonster]

[@northeast-dakota]

Demetri Martin on the keys is willd

[@gutterbee]

At the end, Letterman totally called the back up rapper "Nick".

[@DouglasDuhaime]

Lol well his name *is* Nick. That's Nicholas Thorburn from Islands, Unicorns...

[@DouglasDuhaime]

Oh wait, he had the wrong guy haha. Nick's the one with the keyboard David.

[@dmtripreport8542]

Thanks for sharing this.

[@pete8044]

Paul: El-P INDAHOUSE!

[@seanfrank32]

El P was on Letterman??

[@SergioGarcia-bb8mr]

I don't know, check the title and watch the video.

[@mattsheezy5469]

How did the kid from the Weatherman make his way from the NY Underground, all the way to David Letterman?? I want to see Heavy Metal Kingz (ILL BiLL & Vinnie Paz) on NBC. This isn’t my cup of tea but still inspiring.

[@timsunmey7143]

Because he's El-Producto

[@flacocoque5712]

El P is too good to go unnoticed. I’m a fan of jmt and aotp but El p album I’ll sleep when you’re dead and rtj is just fire.
