Im gonna ask this and then run for cover as it may offend some Can Ox fans. Do you think the Cold Vein and El-P's production in general have somewhat of a trance music feel? Not so much the beats but the floaty sort of backdrops that he uses. Post Mortem off I Phantom is a classic example, i know trance music pretty well from my chemically fuelled London days and i definitely get that feel from El-P's production.
Right, ive said it. If you need me i'll be living the rest of my life in deepest Mongolia.

Not really, but now you mention it, that's a really good way of describing the Iron Galaxy beat. It is kind of trancey, and I suppose the same could be said for B-Boys Alpha, it's got the similar kind of ambient background thing going on. Not sure about the rest of it though, stuff like Ox Out of The Cage, Atom and Ridiculoid sound more like a selection of cyborg birds and farmyard mammals being killed rhythmically with ray guns.
I like Straight Off The D.I.C. cos its what I imagine Havoc's production would sound like around now if he hadn't become, well, a halfway crook.

Booyah captainI can't stand that part of the DVD, that bald guy really pisses me off and Vinnie Paz is so ugly it makes my eyes want to jump out of my head and go drown themselves in sulphuric acid.
I like the ''I Who Have Nothing'' video better, when he was still more of a Skinnie Paz ✅
Yeah kinda amazing he was actually somewhat skinny at one time. Now he looks like a white Fat Albert.

😱 Cannibal Ox Reborn!
From Pitchfork Media:
Back atcha: Following two chilly years in suspended animation, the hallowed hip-hop duo known as Cannibal Ox have reemerged at last, and they're fixin' to start something. Pitchfork has just learned that the wizards of Ox are planning a follow-up to 2001's celebrated The Cold Vein, which will drop next year on Def Jux. Jux guru and producer extraordinaire El-P will commandeer the boards for the currently untitled release, as he did on Vein. Guest producers are slated to include the RZA and Pete Rock. Hot.Cannibal Ox's Vast Aire and Vordul Mega/Megilah have each spent the last two years immersed in solo efforts: Aire's Look Mom...No Hands hit us in April of 2004, followed by Mega's The Revolution of Yung Havoks last November. This past April, Vast Aire partnered with producer Mighty Mi for The Best Damn Rap Show. Aire and Mega also contributed to the Wu-indie smorgasbord, Think Differently Music: Wu-Tang Meets The Indie Culture, which blew up shops two weeks ago.
According to a press release, Cannibal Ox have signed on for a "multi-album worldwide deal," which will hopefully translate to a steady onslaught of spooked-out beats and off-kilter rhymes in the years to come.
As for live appearances, the revitalized Ox has one show scheduled so far, on November 12 at Emo's in Austin, Texas. But an eight-date tour of grim metropolises near you is in the works for December.
The biggest news for me is guest producer RZA! This is already the most anticipated album in my book for next year. This better not dissapoint!

my top 5:
1.Nas
2.Pun
3.Biggie
4.big L
5.Jay
my opinion on those mc's:
Nas: legend. had 1 classic, and a few good albums.
Pun: Great. Had 1 great album (r.i.p)
BIG: I'm not really a fan. Ghostface and Raekwon have said many times he's a fake, but i dunno. (r.i.p)
Big L: 1 classic. 1 great album. He's a great punchline mc. But not the best punchline mc in my opinion. (r.i.p)
Jay: 1 classic (reasonable doubt), the rest wack.
