Stuck On Repeat: El-P’s “Truth” Movement
When promo copies of El-P’s I’ll Sleep When You’re Dead were sent out earlier this year, music writers found that their name was uttered repeatedly during each track; as a result, listening to the album was a noisy and confusing (though weirdly ego-boosting) experience.

Ah, Matt Snyder, how brave you were.
EL-P’s music never did it for me. His rhymes tend to be too anylitical (read:boring) and not have enough vibe. Unfortunately that’s the whole reason why Underground Alt. Hip-Hop(or whatever) isn’t experiencing as much success as the Indie rockers.
