In case you’re not familiar with the man in question, El-P (El Producto) is the co-founder of Definitive Jux, an amazing underground hip-hop label featuring the likes of Aesop Rock, Mr. Lif, Cage, Cannibal Ox, Del the Funky Homosapien, and, of course, his own albums. He’s also a well-known producer, to put it mildly.
He’s started up a blog, and it’s fucking hilarious.
I’m not sure quite how to describe it, but let’s just say El-P has used his photoshop skills to create an evolving narrative in pictures chronicling his plans for a stage show featuring lions and unicorns. Then:
the good news is looks like we got that red bull dough after all. which is cool with me cause its good for you and fun to drink. the bad news is we lost the unicorn. apparently humans cant actually touch unicorns or they die. which ours did. we did however manage to get a last minute replacement and honestly i dont think anyones gonna notice the difference.
The “last minute replacement” is a donkey, which is amazing, but it just keeps getting better, as El-P loses his red bull sponsorship due to the content of his lyrics and is forced to take on “Lightning Bolt,” an energy drink created by Steven Segal, as his new sponsor.
As if this isn’t wonderful enough, there are also a number of quotes from El-P’s favorite writers, which he takes time to reflect on:
I want to stay as close to the edge as I can without going over. Out on the edge you see all kinds of things you can’t see from the center. -Kurt Vonnegut
i think about that when i realize all my most talented and creative friends are also completely out of their minds.
i also think about that when i wake up in some strange girls bed after a drug and alcohol binge. then i think to myself, ‘damn you, kurt vonnegut. look what you made me do again.’
I will be checking this shit every day, religiously. I can’t do it justice here. Just go:
