I think I read here someone had a theory that the El-P reissue May lead right into RTJ4. Seems like a very good possibility...
Wait, what picks? Did something drop?I have no love for VMP at all but these El picks are great. Definitely suggest grabbing them (although I would again suggest you wait for the non-VMP versions) but can't knock VMP for the great choice.
El-P is reissuing some albums. VMP is gonna have "I'll Sleep When You're Dead" as their R&HH pick in February. Maybe some store exclusives too?Wait, what picks? Did something drop?
...AND since Run The Jewel 4 should be dropping soon they may put up an exclusive pre-order for that also.El-P is reissuing some albums. VMP is gonna have "I'll Sleep When You're Dead" as their R&HH pick in February. Maybe some store exclusives too?
I have listened to this and "Cancer 4 Cure" and boy, they are some good albums.

Oh okay yes, I knew that about ISWYD, wasn't sure about exclusives. The way you guys were talking I thought something had been confirmed or released. Has there been any word as to whether CoFlo is included in this reissue campaign? I haven't seen it mentioned...El-P is reissuing some albums.

Yeah they did in 2009. But you're right that could still be a different rights issue...I don't think it is and I firmly believe it has to do with Juss, El and Len figuring it out. He talked about the Def Jux catalog which I don't think ever had Co Flow (although while I type that out I think I remember them reissuing Funcrusher Plus maybe?)
Haven't listened to it. Will put it on my phone later today.Man, Fantastic Damage may be the best of his solo records and you didn't even mention it???

Was also listening to Cannibal Ox, El-P produces it and it would be cool if they did a color variant of the Cold Vein.
iHipHop did a 4LP white pressing of Cold Vein complete with instrumentals. Demolished the value of my originals.
But seriously, Fan Damage is so good, so very very very good. It's a much rawer El-P who raps about rather being mouthfucked by nazis and the like.. so it's not as meme friendly as his RTJ persona would have you believe.. but honestly, top to bottom, I don't think there's a non-amazing track on the record.
Personal highlights:
Lazerfaces Warning
Stepfather Factory
TOJ
Deep Space 9MM
Dead Disnee
I really like Fantastic Damage and I’ll Sleep When You’re Dead, but I just can’t get into Cancer 4 Cure! The production sounds so dated to me and I can’t really put my finger on it, but there’s some kind of ugly artificial/forced feel sound to the album I don’t like.....Yeah @Clint Howard I gotta agree, I hadn't really listened to any of his solo stuff, and I don't really follow RTJ but after listening through C4C, ISWYD and Fantastic Damage I REALLY like Fantastic Damage, don't care too much for the other two...
EDIT- But I see that this one is a 3 LP, so that's a pretty big strike against VMP doing it. Have they ever done any 3 LPs?

I stumbled upon the names Aesop Rock and Cannibal Ox while browsing records on an early 00's auction site called Skylab ( or something like that). I was mostly buying dumb hardcore records and also a lot of what is now called skramz for some fucking reason. Anyway, I searched Aesop Rock and Cannibal Ox on a site called AudioGalaxy ( I think) and downloaded a few songs from each as well as someone named El-P whose name I had seen in search results for the other two. Iron Galaxy, Accidents Don't Happen, Constellation Funk, and Basic Cable all blew my mind. I took a deep dive into backpack mode

For those that may remember the early mp3 days, my friend, who is now a musician signed to a major label is the person who ripped Music For Earthworms and put it up on the innernets
Really? I did not know that. Okay cool, I have hope then.UGK “Underground Kingz” was 3lp
