Alternately known as the moment when Dirty Glove Bastard readers are informed of the existence of El-P. Though the worlds seem an odd match, Phillip K Dick is the best name that an Atlanta rapper never chose. Can you imagine how big he would play in the strip clubs?
Five years ago, El-P and Killer Mike had the same type of fan, but rarely did their worlds collide. Now they’re doing an album together called RAP (Rebellious African Peoples Music) funded by Adult Swim money, with guest spots from Bun B, Trouble, and T.I. on the same song. “Big Beast” broke the Internet today and reminded amnesiacs that El-P has been one of the best producers breathing for a decade and a half. Okay, then. (Speaking of which, Pill may have been a good addition too).
Mike boasts that he is the reader of the books and the leader of the crooks. This is the best bibliophile-friendly boast since Bun B told “illiterate sons of bitches” to read books and step up their vocab. I recommend flash cards. This song goes harder than trying to memorize the spelling of sesquipedalian. Yes, I have heard the entire record. It’s real and it’s spectacular.
