My Ronald Reagans crush Carters

I guess it is time to put this in the canon: Company Flow “Patriotism” 1999

“A proletariat crushing state of the union between serpentine words and mass confusion of media controlled blurb advertising disillusionment”

Superman that ho

UPSET THE SETUP!

the minister informed the esteemed viceroy peace justice that this was a hot track way back when universal was still hating on it.

too my defense – el’s prose is so dense that its not really accessible to the average bamma, and whats the point of writing high brow hip hop thats supposed to be for the masses if they can’t understand it without a few years at a good college. no really, the infinite jest reference?

but also.

i was in fact fronting on Co Flow for the better part of 5 years. i had funcrusher before rawkus on a tape dub i got from some kid on alt.ap, i was anti all the rawkus indy kids on the blow up from like 98-99 and just wasnt fucking with the bandwagoneers trying to tell me how el p and sage francis were the future of hip hop

when I went back to study it years later, i was impressed about how accurately the pre-millenium tension of funcrusher panned out – time warner, media control, 9/11, its all in there. for that i give em props.
as for el-p’s post co-flow out
i’m not really checking for it. let me know if i’m missing something.
