i remember when i first heard "Patriotism" i was in Williamstown Mass and i snagged Soundbombing 2 from the local record store. the reason i remember so well is because i had never heard anything like patriotism. never had i been spoken to so clearly. El-P never ceased to amaze me since. PEOPLE DONT REALIZE HOW RARE AN ACTUAL artist REALLY IS. TAKE A GOOD FUCKING LOOK AT ONE OF THE GREATES RAPPER/PRODUCERS OF ALL-TIME. IF YOU DONT THINK SO, YOU NEED TO CATCH UP AND CHECK AGAIN. - c=b2
The only problem is that only genius can recognize another genius and we’re all idiots, I’m just glad that he finally made it to the top because nobody deserves it more than this man right here, my favorite artist ever
it's queen + bowie which if you understand that connection is godly in it's own right let alone el-p's verbal ferocity and relevance to our currant political climate
i understand where he is coming from and im british.despite the concept of this track its one of the best examples of live raps.i caught el p and aesop rock and rob sonic in london a few years ago.they were the best and small personal shows ive ever witnessed and seen ive ppl from eminem to gunshot.i saw jay z with nas as a suprise guest(amazing)but it didnt come close to el-p on his iswyd tour.pure spine tingling,adrenalin rushing hip hop.i love our culture,and i love 376 ppl who love this.
Yeah. I'm 15 (hard to believe, but it's true). I showed this to my friends, and only one of them understood it. Everyone else talked about something else while we were focused on the song.
To clear up a couple questions. The original song is on the Rawkus compilation, Soundbombing II. This is a remix. The only released recording of this song is this video, which was released on the Fandam Plus DVD.
I don't think that's accurate as FanDam Plus was released (if i recall correctly) in 2003 and this performance is from 2004. Are you thinking of a different Def Jux DVD?
Why the shit have I not heard this song before....crazy shit...if you haven't heard el-p's new shit, cop it, one of the best albums of the year for real.
it doesn't blow my mind. most of the teenagers now a days couldn't even conclude what this song was about if it wasn't titled patriotism and had that who's american sample in it, let alone understand satire.
Where did you get this video from? I was there that night. It was like my 3rd or 4th after moving to New York right before starting college. Really fantastic night. I remember the audio was on the DefJux website for a week before it got taken down. Got an MP3?
I don't know what I would like more: Either old school Dead Kennedys doing a version of this, or old school Co Flo doing a cover of DK's Soup is Good Food. Both would be fucking ridiculous.
man.. i hate when people misinterpret this song. i've seen comments on this video saying "I bet El-P voted for McCain"... in the song he's speaking from the perspective of America, not his own..
These guys backs must have ached from carrying true hip hop late 90s early 2000s. especially while there was so much commercial crap around making phonies a fortune.
hey les...patriotism was the standout joint on soundbombing 2 for me too. the whole album was nice but this song hit me over the head. one of the most political songs ever. the old rawkus label basically fucked their artists over while promising to be different from the majors. just your basic industry rule #4080 situation.
EL-P ferocious. Got a lion in him to this day.
1.45...aesop's smile at el-p is a smile of someone who recognizes a mc putting work in...
I need a studio version of this. The original is good but this song is so much better with this beat.
RIGHT?!?!?!?! I BEEN SAYIN' THIS FOR AT LEAST 5 YEARS NOW....
It just needs to happen now!!
Naw this beat's not gonna work with El-p's flow on the studio version.
@@Skat9 he didn't say remix the original vocals, he said studio recording of this version.
What even is this beat? It's amazing.

And look at him now. Finally getting his shine.
The only problem is that only genius can recognize another genius and we’re all idiots, I’m just glad that he finally made it to the top because nobody deserves it more than this man right here, my favorite artist ever
El-p and aesop rock are the shit
El-P rapping ferociously over a sample of an NIN remixed David Bowie song. Damn. I still want an El-P/NIN collab album.
it's queen + bowie which if you understand that connection is godly in it's own right let alone el-p's verbal ferocity and relevance to our currant political climate
there are collab songs between el and trent reznor already too
i thought that this sample is from the bowie track im afraid of americans, feat. trent reznor?
it is
Still one of my favorite songs of all time, this version is why I love hip hop so much.
0:37 fucking chills when that beat drops, El-P absolutely ripped the fucking shit out of this song.
R.I.P CAMU TAO
For those of you still wondering what they are sampling here... it's "I'm Afraid of Americans" by David Bowie feat. Trent Reznor. You're welcome.
i understand where he is coming from and im british.despite the concept of this track its one of the best examples of live raps.i caught el p and aesop rock and rob sonic in london a few years ago.they were the best and small personal shows ive ever witnessed and seen ive ppl from eminem to gunshot.i saw jay z with nas as a suprise guest(amazing)but it didnt come close to el-p on his iswyd tour.pure spine tingling,adrenalin rushing hip hop.i love our culture,and i love 376 ppl who love this.
This footage is 20 years ago this weekend. Absolutely amazing to see. As someone there that night, thank you for keeping this up.
This is the epitome of what hip hop is and should be!
queen + bowie + co flow = masterpiece
Still get chills watching this, El-P was fucking HUNGRY. His first two albums are peak hip hop
as soon as the beat drop i hit 5 stars and favorited!
100%
Comes strong
lol, I love how it ends with Chuck D yelling, "Yeeeeah!".
Awesome stuff.
Can't beat el-p's beats.
i love this version
this needs to be preserved forever
Amazing song to have discovered in today’s America ...
You catch Trumps speech where people are chanting ‘fight’?
Just discovered this live edition, better than original SICK!
Sound Bombing 2 is probably one of the best rap albums ever.
I play this shit every Sept. 11th... election year. Let's go! RIP CAMU.
This one of the top 3 joints on soundbombing 2- CLASSIC!
wish i couldve seen this shit live. monumental.
thnx for uploading the dopest mc/producer of hip hop ever
(XX) weathermen!!! Def jux legends #RIPcamutao
so far ahead of our time,please share this message..........love from NEWWHIRLODOUR
There was no need for El to go this hard :O
I thought this was the soundbombing version! still dope
In the dark times we live in now... this is a hell of an anthem.
They jump at rap shows.They run into each other at rock shows:it's all energy & fun.
Some people need pyrotechnics during a performance,though. :)
damn, el is killin it live.. would have loved to see that. nice mix, too.
Yeah. I'm 15 (hard to believe, but it's true). I showed this to my friends, and only one of them understood it. Everyone else talked about something else while we were focused on the song.
you're so unique
Same!
10 years later…. Update?
Showed that you and that one other have a superior IQ
Mainstrram is called mainstream for a reason
I'm america.
I'm about to change,.
It is against my will,. however reality catches up with us all,. . the free ride is about to end. wake up america.
Damn this still hits harrrrddd
That David Bowie sample is so good
2:24 Only just realised they skipped a bar and Aesop continued it, well recovered from all involved
This is incredible. My mind = blown.
To clear up a couple questions. The original song is on the Rawkus compilation, Soundbombing II. This is a remix. The only released recording of this song is this video, which was released on the Fandam Plus DVD.
I don't think that's accurate as FanDam Plus was released (if i recall correctly) in 2003 and this performance is from 2004. Are you thinking of a different Def Jux DVD?
Dope ass version and presentation.
Thank you, thank you very much. You have excellent taste.
This song is incredible, as is the performance.
From what i understand, its chuck d, hes a big fan of el-p
i think its blueprint.
thats chuck d at the end though. too many legends on one stage.
ya it used to be up on the def jux site..i found it on soulseek a cpl years ago..im sure its around somewhere..ill see if i can dig it up
Better than the studio version
or now, if you haven't heard it. still some classic joints.
Why the shit have I not heard this song before....crazy shit...if you haven't heard el-p's new shit, cop it, one of the best albums of the year for real.
it doesn't blow my mind. most of the teenagers now a days couldn't even conclude what this song was about if it wasn't titled patriotism and had that who's american sample in it, let alone understand satire.
incredible what song boy sick sample
Soundbombing vol II. Dopest sounbombing put out
sick....
Where did you get this video from? I was there that night. It was like my 3rd or 4th after moving to New York right before starting college. Really fantastic night. I remember the audio was on the DefJux website for a week before it got taken down.
Got an MP3?
Great footage! Sick Audio!
that's chuck D at the end. just listen to the trademark 'YEAH'
Can confirm, I was there
WE'RE MORE FAMOUS!!
Thanks for uploading, junktoo
rawkus presents soundbombing II. well worth picking up.
Legends
"The hottest shit on Soundbombing..."
I don't know what I would like more: Either old school Dead Kennedys doing a version of this, or old school Co Flo doing a cover of DK's Soup is Good Food. Both would be fucking ridiculous.
@KBenjaminStone YOU SIR ARE A LEGEND
WOW!!!!
yeah, if anyone has this mp3, send it to us! i need this! its so sick
it was on soundbombing 2 I believe, but the beat used was different, I enjoy this one way more
It's Obama,that's why I'm voting for him!
it's actually trent reznor/nin and bowie.
awesome mix.
“God is an American”
i see now. i was kinda curious as to why they didnt have more tracks out together. differing subjects.....
Why don’t they have any company flow stuff on Apple Music? I know I had it when I used to have Spotify
amazing
man.. i hate when people misinterpret this song. i've seen comments on this video saying "I bet El-P voted for McCain"... in the song he's speaking from the perspective of America, not his own..
These guys backs must have ached from carrying true hip hop late 90s early 2000s. especially while there was so much commercial crap around making phonies a fortune.
vaya sampleo mas guapo!
Sheeeeeesh this is nasty
i liked this beat also
That is Chuck D, he was hosting
KBENJAMINSTONE IS A LEGEND.
i'd like to hear a studio version of this song with this beat...
Too bad this version don't even exist.. or does it?
Rip and enjoy offline ... it’s pretty clean for live UA-cam clip !
I revisit this vid in hopes for a studio version
it fits perfectly to Md's production.
thats a remarkable remix..
Fuck yes! Hell of a capture!
Epic
indeed, how does it go, liks? thristen howl, pharoah, and el p.
@InstruMentalHospital I'm looking for it everywhere too...
anywhere you get or download this version of the song?
agreed!
hey les...patriotism was the standout joint on soundbombing 2 for me too. the whole album was nice but this song hit me over the head. one of the most political songs ever.
the old rawkus label basically fucked their artists over while promising to be different from the majors. just your basic industry rule #4080 situation.
jesus fucking christ
HOW THE FUCK DID THEY MAKE THIS BETTER?
ungodly
This shit is SICK.
holy shit.
where can i get this instrumental? songs sooooooooooo sick
Ya'll want the background track? iwz_OiJLeWk Working on layering the original Patriotism vocal over the top...
@Muse47Luna23 Yeah, but the point is that in this video, Aesop Rock is there. So he is performing it, and featuring Aesop Rock...
EPIC- WANA SEE TOTAL HEART DO A SONG PEEP EL, U WILL SEE!
i want this track. not a live version, a studio version would be ace.. where can i get it?!?!
to hell with Rawkus. El has their backstabbing documented.
this a great remix! never heard this version. very fitting mix. the original rawks too.
this shit is dope
Kids these days hey. I saw one on my lawn the other day. Subsequently yelled at it.
