El-P's verse is great. He first talks about his words, creatively describing how powerful and different they are.
When I send a sickness (ease down)/ dark soldiers
“fallin in with flying debris/and bad programs of landmines
that remind me of the sexiest of slow jams”
And “now this material might walk with a twitch and live for the twisted shit
/images of boy scouts getting pistol whipped”
He knocks television and its effects on culture “he realest television is the one that talks out loud to you/when the plug is corroded out”(Refereing to people obviously)
And also
“vision purged, we live in thirty second blurbs/(referring to a television commercial)
and if consumers stopped existing we'd forget how to use words/
just fuckin' eat each other til the next space age occurs” (People wouldn’t know how to act without television or commercial enterprises brainwashing them.
And possibly making an Orwellian reference with “and they say productivity is up this month but I've lost my passion/ sick of waiting in line for my weekly chocolate ration”
He also touches on how he’s not wealthy because he doesn’t put on a show the people want, the glamor that changes a a person or artist, so now he’s spreading his word he so desperately wants out “door to door” or inefficiently.
Lines like “this addiction is more random/
I walk door to door Mormon style spitting my sick tantrums/
because I wasn't born handsome”
Just a great verse. El-p purely expressing himself like he always does.
