“Flyentology” featuring Trent Reznor from Nine Inch Nails. From the album I’ll Sleep When You’re Dead. © 2007 Definitive Jux
Wow! This is possibly the most accessible cut from El-P I have ever heard. Accessible is not always good and his previous efforts are certainly a cut above the typical muck of hip hop underground, however this song and perfectly complimentary video show that we are still only glimpsing the edge of this prolific artists capabilities. El Producto pulls in a rockstar legend in Trent Reznor to help push this over the top. If it’s been awhile since you’ve visited the Nine Inch Nails catalogue or if you haven’t heard there new stuff, seek it out immediately. They are still cutting edge and it’s great to here him alongside one of hip hop’s finest. The song is about trying to rise above mediocrity, maintaining individualism, while avoiding being left behind for refusing to adapt or conform. As with most complex efforts by El-P, this is no small subject matter. In the end, survival rules all.
