Company Flow - DPA (as seen on tv)

[@chadbaptiste4227]

EL-P was an order of magnitude hungrier than most emcees that ever picked up a mic. That energy is ravenous.

[@thirdshift47]

Used to rock this shit on the daily back in the winter of '01. Helped me get through the year.

[@TheClamSnatcher]

SAME

[@Medichio]

Same here.

[@BeatJunkie-mq1tc]

"Everybody loves me dusty!" Gotta love El-p, his lyrics are overlooked alot cuz his beats

[@REALdavidmiscarriage]

thats the best reason to overlook somebodies lyrics though. Goes to show what an amazing musician he is. El-p is basically the only person that can eclipse El-p haha

[@gepettowins]

This is the dopest era of el p to me, the joint he did with Del on Both Sides of the Brain was vaguely in this time period too and is another super slept on el-p performance

[@kromephillen]

Offspring! 💪

[@RAPHA-1982]

I get my swerve on like a narcoleptic race car driver on the autobahn on monsoon season.

[@SEBAS31077]

Once that second beat hit give me chills

[@REALdavidmiscarriage]

Can't believe how amazing this song is and how long I slept on it... and I thought I knew every co flow song

[@deathbymonkeys]

I remember this from early 2000s too. I hated the beat change at the time but now when I listen to it it sounds so beautiful. EL-P THE LEGEND. LIGHT YEARS AHEAD OF HIS TIME.

[@pjazzara]

"As a man, I believe that the damage I've inflicted on myself is a vehicle for teaching me."

[@liljuve13]

This is probably the greatest Hip hop song ever made, Im being fucking serious here

[@sethcox3872]

well...I won't argue...lol:)

[@KhalilSeretseKhama]

FACTS.

[@theodoredarst8035]

truly

[@BeatJunkie-mq1tc]

Hard to disagree with someone who has one of my favorite albums as their thumbnail

[@louidivine3140]

El-p does make some of the best Hip-Hop ever...

[@RAPHA-1982]

Call an ugly baby breathtaking haha. Seinfeld. I remember when this song dropped. I love company flow.

[@kevothemedicated1949]

Has to be early 2001 that's when I heard it anyway. Touched my soul

[@KentrichErvonia]

Never noticed how sick the artwork was on this single!

[@xFucklebronandMiami]

Still gives me the chills till this day

[@spoonforleg]

There's no understating how much this had an influence as me as a young producer and kid.

[@angeloboelijn5801]

Genius lyrics and beats. so incredible and unbelievably talented

[@setherwrist]

pretty sure this is the best song ever made

[@JEFFMAN90]

Calm down there buddy lol

[@deafbyhiphop]

JEFFMAN90 nah

[@RunawayArtistX]

Definitely one of the best underground/indie hip-hop songs ever.

[@hellinterface6721]

@@RunawayArtistX I keep coming back to this. I don't even listen to rap anymore...

[@boli.de089]

Yes it is...my friend

[@SEBAS31077]

this was when company flow was getting popular than they left us hanging because of the label

[@iyaramonk]

Nah they were done. Touring soured the mood.

[@kford2906]

2001 I was banging this studying

[@TheToofpick]

I always forget about this.

[@JEStheUniversual]

Only a selected few know what this means “Pull up your little squirrel nut zipper and acquiesce to get with Hoppy”. I was one of the luckiest persons around when EL-P shared this with only a selected few before him actually releasing it to the public. Ahhh the memories of when they were recording “Pain Cave”.

[@ProteusOmnipotens-ov8oo]

I met Ace Rizzle and got to talk to him about his lyrics and possible references and all he said was "I mostly just rap about myself" 😂 Mind you this was not long after Labour Days so I would have to agree based on hist first 3 albums

[@Grizzletopz]

Pain Cave the original title for Fantastic Damage

[@JEStheUniversual]

@@Grizzletopz Pain Cave actually was going to be the original title for Company Flow’s new record.

[@soulscientific2685]

word !! the best song ever made!!

[@cj5273]

One of my favorite hip hop tracks ever

[@siphotac-rahsgora4981]

Reminds of back in 03 when i first heard this banger 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Beatscostmoney]

Shit is still banging 20 years later

[@6misery]

Them scratches came straight out of hell fuckkkkk

[@wizard3dee]

Never plays out

[@andrewperez1100]

"bring me...the dramatic intro machine!!"

[@oiadedeji]

Remembered when they put it out Dope then,dope now

[@0oidiedinatimemachineo024]

this is incredibly epic

[@TheDefconsd1]

This is el-p best VERSE EVER!!!!!!!

[@EllipseGamer]

Still hits hard

[@ProteusOmnipotens-ov8oo]

When I first heard the train-crossing bells running the track it felt like when I first heard the harmonica on I'll Be OK. I realized almost any sound can be sampled for an anthem. MIA got the kids chanting through Bird Flu. Just awesome what some artists do

[@MysticNightmare1]

Connecticut WE GOT IT!

[@ajbash8883]

So grimey and dope, favorite jam

[@theseventhdman]

El-P's second verse here is the greatest of all time

[@j.ascension7]

Damnit I had the Vinyl if this but I left it at my friends house and never went to get it, and we haven't talked in 11 years

[@kaazflip3961]

Get it back anyways

[@rubenayala7207]

"Drum Pattern Awareness, you know SAN DIEGO got it!!!"

[@sethnicholls7861]

My fav C.F. track, STILL tips faces off squirrels

[@mrmoran0077]

Scotland (still) got it

[@sethcox3872]

philly...u god damn rit!...RDG

[@n.e.srecords2966]

Beat street on crack!!!!

[@miltosmilos9554]

What DPA means?

[@riverbakey]

drug pattern awarness

[@blacktiger5985]

I always spit something to the second beat.

[@foarfield]

Did he sample the fugue in g minor on the second half?

[@xcelliousprodvctionz]

Pass the mic BB's sounds 😉

[@Gemini3K]

Why didn't he let the intro beat be a track. It was hotter than the subsequent beats.

[@spoonforleg]

unplug me, everybody loves me dusty.

[@dantsonhebert3478]

Still futuristic

[@SGsll-uv9ul]

Best mc!

[@axsent801]

Erboody Loves me

[@ceramikxxx5882]

Still trying to figure out the lyrics

[@jacuzzishoes]

how could i lose? im from the dog house of blues

[@TwitchDeMetaphysical]

GEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAARRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@tapeworm6093]

Definitive

[@ScottThompson-i9j]

Willis Rue

[@TrevorStyles-z3h]

Why didn't they rap on the intro beats. They go way harder

[@drn3079]

You guys really don’t understand the magnitude of 2:31 🙌🏾🫱🏼‍🫲🏾🎉🤯🥶
