Biography
New York, United States
As a member of Company Flow, he honed his production skills alongside DJ Mr. Len and Bigg Jus. His unique style helped Company Flow gain critical, then popular success, culminating in 1997 with Funcrusher Plus. Eventual differences between the group & label Rawkus, lead to El-P & Len leaving the label in 2000.
El-P then decided to start his own record label, Definitive Jux. Of the many albums he has helped produce (most on Definitive Jux), the most influential and successful has been Cannibal Ox’s only full-length album, The Cold Vein (2001). In 2002 he released his debut album, Fantastic Damage, which received critical acclaim. His follow-up, I’ll Sleep When You’re Dead, hit stores in March of 2007. It featured a wide range of artists, including The Mars Volta, Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails, and Cat Power. El-P has also contributed productions and guest raps to albums by DJ Krush, Aesop Rock, Murs, Cage, Mr. Lif, Prefuse 73, Del The Funky Homosapien, Mike Ladd, The High And Mighty, Aceyalone, and Alec Empire on the first Handsome Boy Modeling School album.
Cannibal Ox member Vordul Mega can be heard on “Linda Tripp”, El-P’s rebuttal to Sole’s “Dear Elpee”. He was also selected to work on Rage Against the Machine frontman Zach De La Rocha’s solo album

@TheAbbott if the production isn't your thing cause it's too "out there" check out the first two Weareallgoingtoburninhellmegamixx. Less electronic, bit more classic. But honestly, I love all El-P

El-P's a genius and I can't wait to hear what he does in the future. People might take for granted that trippy hip hop is everywhere now, but back in the early 2000s El-P was the only one doing this kind of music. When "Fantastic Damage" came out, it was as jarring to hip hop as punk rock was to rock and roll back in the 70s.

"just because there’s darkness that I see and think about, it doesn’t mean I’ve given into it." El-P about C4C.

TheAbbott@ nah not really the albums are very different but it's still very "El-Pish"
-
TheAbbott
Yo, if I find I'll Sleep When You're Dead pretty quality music, but definitely not my thing, do I need to bother with some of his other releases?

@TehSpiral Yeah El-P has even been asked about the line in a interview :P
-
TehSpiral
@kenilla ah okay I listened to it again and that is indeed the line -- it sounded so much like "n*ggas" to me initially.
-
kenilla
@TehSpiral the line is "Made him dig his own grave at the point of a gun"
-
TehSpiral
I just noticed that El-P drops the n-word in "Tougher Colder Killer". It's not really upsetting to me seeing as how I'm not Black, but it gave me pause for a moment.
