thank you!!! i was super surprised there was no mention of Company Flow, or any of his solo work, endless collabs, DefJux. dont get me wrong, i love RTJ, but CoFlow is hip hop history. It boggles my mind how overlooked they are! Much love for you bro!
Saw Danny brown in the thumbnail, thought you were gonna talk about his track "Grown Up." I loved this song in middle School and the music video is great too but I had forgot about it. I recently rediscovered it and now I'm stuck on it all over again.
i clicked bc of the thumbnail and now im said to find out it’s not Grown Up bc that shit slapped and i dont smoke weed no more but now i want to while listening to that song
I'm 23. Only recently watched the movie...which is actually a really great movie to me. Though I didn't know about it until I saw someone play the video game on YT...about 1.5 decades after the game actually released. 🤦🏾♀️ I've been missing out fr.
@@austindavid1862 It's not super common for someone your age to be familiar with Warriors. I'm 30, and I feel like most people my age barely know the movie exists and definitely haven't seen it.
Listen to The Avalanches' "Frankie Sinatra;" all the Danny Brown you could ask for. Why/how I know this? Living in Australia, The Avalanches came out with 2016 album "Wildflower." Check out Triple J (Aussie radio) online.
The “who sons who” or “who suns who” and Sun Tzu is a reference to Raekwon’s Incarcerated Scarfaces. “We can battle for cash and see who suns who” or “We can battle for cash and see who’s Sun Tzu” It had been a debate for years until Raekwon said it was in fact “who sons/suns who”. I personally feel the Sun Tzu (the man who wrote The Art of War) one would have been the better line but it is what it is.
@Jaybird Are you asking me, or quizzing me? I think the two different spellings says everything as to the possible meanings of the lyric. Who’s going to outshine and burn the other or who going to dominate and make the other his lesser.
@@thenavigator2559 Different references I guess. I know about all of the people in this music video and the three you listed are some of my favourite artists of this generation, but I just recently found out about JPEGMAFIA. So with the internet, I think it's pretty random what music you get exposed to
@@thenavigator2559 not everyone knows someone even if they are popular. I got into MF DOOM before listening to Tyler and found out Three six mafia only after discovering Tommy Wright iii. but I get you though, and I will listen to all these artists now
“El-P of soon to be Run the Jewels Fame” Don’t be dissing’ El-P like that. He was already a bonafide legend by this point, and well known among the real ones.
El-P seriously has one of the most slept on bodies of work, its like Cancer4Cure was his first album or something....but his back catalog runs so deep.
@@ivbeenshot9times1 but he was basically The Godfather of NY underground, at least what crossed over. Def Jux was the game before most of us knew underground existed.
Guilty. But boy did I research his shit afterwards. Ok thats a bit of a lie, I knew Vision of Art almost by heart, but had no idea who was behind the mic.
"I'm a the the Pizza Hut, I'm at the Taco Bell / The combination made my eyes bleed" is one of the laugh-out-loud-funniest lines I ever heard in a rap song. ;D
I remember when this first dropped. It's one of those classic group tracks where you're essentially getting a statement on 'who are the best people in hip hop so far.' It's a real shame Das Racist went away - one of my favourite artists of the decade.
I had to pay almost 100$ to get the 12" single from the German distributors I love this shit so much! Super limited blue marbled vinyl tho totally worth it
Mind-Blowing video Alfo! I didn't start getting into hiphop until 2012 or so and this track never came up. Your breakdown was super helpful so I could appreciate the song so much more
Didn't even talk about the two cleverest lines in El's verse: Saying "Inverted 31s and other unlucky omens, thats why I chug 7&7 till I'm fuckin' homless" instead of straight up saying 13 and 14. And just before that, probably the hardest piece of wordplay in the whole song "El'l vent on you harder than fukushima breezes".
Yeah, I may have just missed it, but as far as I know he just said it's his first time being exposed to him (While realizing it's him, at least, like you said he's been around)
Will never forget. I have a friend that raps by the name of Cities Aviv who put me on to this song back in 2011 and put me on all of these rappers individually. I still find myself listening to the song every few months. Definitely one of the dopest songs I’ve ever heard.
@@realhillkell😂 definitely did. I went to school with him from middle school all the way until college. Definitely a cool guy. We used to hang tough in college for a while until he left Memphis for New York. Definitely a cool era for music
@@ChrisEvansII I wasn't doubting you I was just thinking how awesome it was he was a friend of yours and you said it so casually that's like saying you use to be friends with Dj premier but for experimental rap fans I guess when you posted this comment he hadn't blown up in the underground scene yet but that's just awesome y'all be talking still?
This video introduced me to this song. And I wanna say thank you for that, because this song is absolutely genius. From the instrumental to the flow of the lyrics to El-P's wordplay, everything about this song just hits so well. Holy shit, I can't believe it's taken me so long to listen to this song.
I only heard about this song when I watched Myke C-Town interviewing El-P and said his verse was one of his favourites. Great song, shoutout to Myke C-Town!
I like IMMEDIATELY knew the video and the intro but I don’t recall a single lyric from the song, but it’s in my brain. It happened. I remember but I don’t. Wtf.
You really sold this song well, like I expected to hear one of the biggest hidden gems of all time and when I went to go listen to it I immediately regretted it, I hope to never hear this ever again.
Dude Thanks!!!! Honeslty Thanks for introducing me to this Song. Now to hear it over and over until i memorize it, and get sick of it for a couple of months. Then rehear it fall in love with it and repeat process.
I got this song recommended to me maybe like 8 months ago and I was shocked I had never heard it before! Thanks for getting the word out about this great track
It's a shame Despot doesn't release anyhting. He is a highly skilled rapper. His parts on Thougher Colder Killer off El-P's Cancer for Cure are absolute fire.
Bro thank you for making this video 🥺 I thought i was crazy. Like with nothing but Cypher energy and no real formula they made one of the hardest bangers I've ever heard lol
See, I found out about El-P when I was 13, too. However, that was ten years before this video. Dude has been relevant forever. I don't k ow how he does that. PS man, listen to more despot already.
First time I heard Danny Brown and fell in love with his rapping was 1train. It was also a big collab song on A$AP Rocky's debut album. So fucking good.
Dude, THANK YOU for fucking making this! Somehow, as soon as I saw Danny Brown's picture on the front with the title I knew exactly what you were talking about. HUZZAH!!!
Broo... trust me when I tell yhis video is spot on! I completely forgot about this song yet this is how I discovered Danny Brown! Dope artist! I didnt even realise EL-P was from run the jewels at the time and completely missed the 1-16 numbers reference! Big tune!
Nobody forgot, most didnt know. This song only introduced me to Mr Exquire, I had listened to El-P for about 10 years prior to this. Despot was signed to El-P's Def Jux(please look them up), but he himself has yet to release an album proper. "Tend to mop up these muttering zombie talker pieces. El'l vent on you harder than fukushima breezes"
I stopped when he got to talking about El-P and went and found it and watched it first before finishing the rest of this vid. It was worth it. 100% dope. The kind hip hop I live for really. 😄
When I saw Danny Brown in the thumb I knew it was this song. Such an underrated banger at every angle and mad consistent. Despot and El-P goin dumb, Kool-AD being cool as per usual, Heemz being a bastard. So many catchy, dynamic lines. Great lookin out on this one.
I saw an interview where he talked about the track and said he was about three numbers in before he realised what he'd done and then worked to finish the count.
This video put me onto this sing a couple years ago now and I must agree its one of the greatest hip hop songs of all time. The el-p verse has finally put me onto run the jewels and because I've been bumpin this song a lot recently I though I'd come back here and drop a comment.
early appearance of el-p? he's been around longer than probably all of the dudes on it. Btw I listen to this track pretty often still. Despot should've dropped an album by now though
This is great! One of my favorite tracks I will also offer up "Werner Herzog" by Busdriver featuring Open Mike Eagle and Nocando as a forgotten underground hip hop song we all seem to forget about
It’s interesting how El-P is finally getting, what he deserved for a long time, with Run The Jewels. He has made so, so much music since the mid 90’s. Here’s a little something most don’t know, the name El-P isn’t a reference to long play records, it’s from a brand of blunts you probably can’t find today called El Producto de Peru. Cheaper than Phillies or White Owls. That’s why he has called himself a dung beetle in various raps, because dung beetles just roll shit all day.
I saw this done live in NYC on El P and Killer Mike's first tour before they started RTJ. Danny Brown was the only one not there. One of the best shows I've ever seen.
i’ve been binging your videos recently and i just came across this one. i just want to say THANK YOU. i have loved this song and video since it came out and nobody ever knows it when i show it to them. i knew you were different bro 🤝
I completly agree with most of what you've said here. Depsot does a couple verses in a song called "clipped on" by blood orange that was borderline great

Didn't even talk about the two cleverest lines in El's verse:
Saying "Inverted 31s and other unlucky omens, thats why I chug 7&7 till I'm fuckin' homless" instead of straight up saying 13 and 14.
And just before that, probably the hardest piece of wordplay in the whole song "El'l vent on you harder than fukushima breezes".
Fukushima breezes line was dope. Number stuff I think most won't connect to.
31 is inverted
7 + 7 = 14
I still like how he finished with 15 minutes of fame and another 16 to prove to the world I f*ckin OWN it
I love the explanation that that intro is parodying a reference by referencing a parody of the reference source.

@@1121b when dead end hip hop interviewed el p he asked him about his verse on there
"Warriors" is the best directed movie I've ever watched that isn't about a damn thing
kinda like this song
I liked Oh Hail No a little better which was El-P, Danny Brown and Despot. God I wish Despot gave us a full release already 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Despot wasn't on Oh Hail No, Despot was on Tough Colder Killer with Killer Mike and El-P. Oh Hail No had Mr Mothafuckin Exquire.
@@GEORGETHOMAS2001 thats what I meant to say. Esquire. Then I doubled down and talked about a Despot album 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Oh and Danny Brown was on Tougher Colder too.......
Its been a long time since ive listened to C4C okay. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Enygma Enigmatic What? No he wasn’t. Danny Brown is only on Oh Hail No.
okay, now I know what song Myke C-Town was asking LP about in a DEHH interview, thank you man!
This video put me onto this sing a couple years ago now and I must agree its one of the greatest hip hop songs of all time. The el-p verse has finally put me onto run the jewels and because I've been bumpin this song a lot recently I though I'd come back here and drop a comment.
early appearance of el-p? he's been around longer than probably all of the dudes on it. Btw I listen to this track pretty often still. Despot should've dropped an album by now though
This is great! One of my favorite tracks
I will also offer up "Werner Herzog" by Busdriver featuring Open Mike Eagle and Nocando as a forgotten underground hip hop song we all seem to forget about
busdriver is consistently and overtly underappreciated everywhere
It’s interesting how El-P is finally getting, what he deserved for a long time, with Run The Jewels. He has made so, so much music since the mid 90’s. Here’s a little something most don’t know, the name El-P isn’t a reference to long play records, it’s from a brand of blunts you probably can’t find today called El Producto de Peru. Cheaper than Phillies or White Owls. That’s why he has called himself a dung beetle in various raps, because dung beetles just roll shit all day.
He is a rapper so his name means both things. It's wordplay
@@maryreinitz1622 Exactly
I saw this done live in NYC on El P and Killer Mike's first tour before they started RTJ. Danny Brown was the only one not there. One of the best shows I've ever seen.
i’ve been binging your videos recently and i just came across this one. i just want to say THANK YOU. i have loved this song and video since it came out and nobody ever knows it when i show it to them. i knew you were different bro 🤝
You can't look up Despots solo discography, because he doesn't have a solo discography
As soon as I seen El-P, I had nothing but confidence in it
El-P will always be El-P from Company Flow for me. Love RTJ but that one CF album got heavy play for years.
One of my favorite tracks and videos of all time since I saw it when it first came out.
I completly agree with most of what you've said here. Depsot does a couple verses in a song called "clipped on" by blood orange that was borderline great
"The next verse is by El-P,"
"Absolutely ridiculous, top notch lyrics."
Yeah, that checks out. 😆 👉🤛🏿
