That hip hop thread...

To this day i have no idea how this nigga ever had a career. Wackness personified.

He has a cool voice and his hit songs usually had OK beats and a catchy chorus by some decent singer.
Plenty of 90's and 2000's rappers made a career out of inserting their mediocre rap verses into otherwise well made tracks.

El-P's beats were something else, man. He's definitely my top 3 DJ with lots of great guest appearances. I don't mind Run The Jewels, but that style is not the same.

The whole era of Company Flow followed by numerous solid Def Jux releases is nostalgic to me. Aesop's old stuff is timeless, too.
