point is, fans of music that slavishly flatters yr intelligence, that post was self deprecatingly saying "lol look how hung up i am on this trivial thing", and then you all were all "lol cant u see how hung up u are on this trivial thing boom roasted hi5*

still not really seeing why you think "lol Def Jux forever get therapy" is anything but me being ridiculous in response to someone else's ridiculousness. talk about a faulty joke detector...

If you like the artsier end of backpacker rap, with spoken word stuff and off-kilter samples and all, you might enjoy The Infesticons:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lF8pDmgCoRQ
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RxZVRkIMrIY
A few years later the same folks released another album as The Majesticons, this time the idea was to parody rap trends of the era. The parody might be a bit dated 10 years later, but the album still sounds remarkably good. Doing populist rap in the name of satire actually meant there are some really fun and catchy tunes on the album, much moreso than on the decidedly backpacker Infesticons record:

His beats are sort of impressive in a kind of bludgeoning funkless way but, speaking as someone with a lot of love for bad rapping, El-P is one of the worst MCs I've ever heard.

I have Labor Days on my computer but I don't know how much I like it coz I basically only listen to my music on shuffle mode without knowing what half of it is. There's a lot of good rap - sometimes I track it down, usually turns out to be Def Jux or Five Deez or something
(where is your and what now, ILX, lol)
apparently Aesop Rock has a massive vocabulary, which is cool I guess

i got an email from RTJ this morning and 1) got my tix for the show, see you there assholes and 2) the new song is great and i listened to it 2x in a row
also i listened to clipping and it was alright, but not really electrifying to me for some reason

i dunno, it's on spotify if that's your thingprobably youtube tooif you mean LP, i have no idea but the new ones are for sale i loled a lot at the bonu$ packages, starting here
'I'm On The Fucking List, Asshole' Package: $7500Run The Jewels will put you on the all access guest list plus 1 for any Run The Jewels show anywhere and up to 10 shows. You (and not your plus 1) will be welcome in our back stage before, during and after shows as well as be allowed to hang for soundcheck and load in if you find that sort of thing interesting, have full access to our backstage rider which includes a deli meant tray, various cheeses, a bottle of Henessey, grey goose and various energy bars. We will share our weed with you and let you yell at our tour manager. We will pretend to like you and will introduce you to our friends as our “friend”. Run The Jewels requires a half an hour before stage time to not have to deal with you and your fucking yammering in order to do our pre show stretches, vocal warm ups and crying.

there's also a package where you get to buy the album remixed out of cat sounds for 40k; that one comes with a disclaimer saying they have the right to just take your cash and not do it.
