  • @jameshart5792
    @jameshart5792 7 років тому +84

    I love that el-p explained that his opinion on the horns wasn't meant to be taken personally. He said he has no emotion when it comes to discussing the nitty gritty, that's pure truth right there, swallow your pride and focus on what is true.
    I say this because it seems like you cant have a discussion these days without people taking it personally. It's irrational, stop being so proud and just entertain my opinion, you don't have to agree, but don't take it as an attack.
    El-P is a special guy. I feel like I relate to him and the way he reasons. Except I can't sing for shit.

      I totally get what El's saying about the horns, but I can't imagine that song without them now

    • @PedalBox
      @PedalBox 4 роки тому +1

      Couldn't agree more, I appreciate when anyone gives feedback on something, being able to objectively assess anything is a hugely important skill.
      Sometimes I'll explain why I did something, and it sounds argumentative. IT's not intended that way, but if your view is based on a wrong interpretation then it might change with clarity.
      If I can't understand something I disagree with to see why someone might think that, then I don't understand it enough to have a firm opinion myself. (-Ade)

      LouieV6 I love that album, too! I was in London in 96 and they had an article in Time Out with him on the cover and of course I bought it. That was my introduction to his genius. People will put down the art of mixing, but it takes a certain ear to be able to combine similar sounds into something cohesive. It's not easy to do. I remember long ago watching him mix something from the Muppets and it was pure gold.

    Honestly I wish I'd never seen this. They seem like rookies who discovered a gem by accident. Also, it's not just the song but the video--juxtaposition of hood rap battle by white old World leaders--that makes it. In my head the whole song had to have come together by an equally remarkable backstory.. not something so banal as "So I started with the first line as 'picture this'" as if it was gonna be just another lame track in their forgettable little career.
