Thanks El

I've been listening to the new El-P album I"ll Sleep When You're Dead all morning. It took a listen or two to finally get into it (I am at work) but it is damn good. I've listened to and followed El-P's career since he was in Company Flow and must say that at first I was hesitant because I really love the old stuff. He has great tracks with Trent Reznor, Mars Volta and Cat Power's Chan Marshall that really take beats and hip hop to that next level. I like that he had the guts to stick it to Rawkus Records on his own blog with a lot of umm.. ahem.. eloquent words. Thanks El for taking mediocrity out of hip hop.
