El-P Artist Snapshot:

El-P (a.k.a. El-Producto) was one half of the groundbreaking 1990s underground hip-hop act Company Flow. Following the break-up of CoFlo, El-P turned his efforts toward his solo career and running the esteemed label Def Jux. In addition to releasing critically lauded records by himself and other underground heroes such as Aesop Rock, Cannibal Ox, and Mr. Lif, Producto also brought his unique production sense--marked by hectic, dense soundscapes--to bear on many of those artists. El-P has devoted himself to maintaining the true spirit of hip-hop in the face of a total mainstream takeover.

Review

Rolling Stone (6/20/02, p.83) - 3.5 stars out of 5 - "...A heavy, turbulent affair....He comes out swinging wildly, but DAMAGE has plenty of knockout force..."
Spin (1/03, p.72) - Ranked #27 on Spin's list of 2002's "Albums of the Year"
Spin (7/02, p.111) - 9 out of 10 - "...DAMAGE picks up where CO FLOW left off, slamming jagged boom baps into computer-crash squeals like the score for a 'Blade Runner' sequel....[El-P's] paid-by-the-word rhyme style requires some real attention, but you'll be glad you dug in..."
Entertainment Weekly (5/24/02, p.94) - "...Amplifies the dystopian side of his former group, Company Flow, with dense, short-circuited beatscapes and raps that are rabid, literate, oblique, paranoid, political, sentimental, and as relentless as prime Public Enemy..." - Rating: A
Uncut (1/03, p.94) - Ranked #3 in Uncut's "100 Best Albums of the Year" - "The most uncompromising hip hop record to emerge in 2002..."
CMJ (5/13/02, p.19) - "...An unapologetic amalgam of the IDM-inspired, disjointed musicality of his production work...and the old school, boomin' bass, sampled and scratched B-Boy vibe..."
Vibe (June 2002, p.152) - 3.5 out of 5 - "...FANTASTIC DAMAGE is a dense, cryptic blast of verbal spray and dirt-caked beats....stunning slabs of cacophonous beauty and gothic proportions..."
NME (Magazine) (5/25/02, p.30) - 8 out of 10 - "...A cyborg rap meisterwork..."

Title Note

Formerly a member of the seminal New York progressive/underground hip-hop crew Company Flow, El-P has made a name for himself in a crowded market with a churning musical and lyrical style that's reminiscent of an updated Sly Stone in his THERE'S A RIOT GOIN' ON period, complete with swampy, shape-shifting beats and spontaneous-sounding lyrics. The overall effect is mesmerizing. Here the last 20 years of hip-hop seem to have been put into a blender and filtered, deconstructed, and reconstructed to produce a unique and enthralling whole.

On FANTASTIC DAMAGE, El-P oversees a kind of post-industrial R&B landscape, full of fleeting, terrifying imagery, electronic effects that disappear almost as soon as they're heard, and trance-like zombie rhythms that invade the subconscious. If it's not quite your big brother's hip-hop dance party, it's definitely a world that's simultaneously scarifying and fascinating, daring you to delve deeper inside it.
