Not really comparable, the style showing its age, but Company Flow's "Vital Nerve" is classic. I loved El-P's production on Cannibal Ox's "The Cold Vein." "Pigeon" has a great sample of Jaco Pastorius' "Portrait of Tracy." He also did a jazz album, "High Water," with The Blue Series Continuum. "Get Your Hand Off My Shoulder, Pig" is unmistakably El-P and could easily have been retooled as a Run The Jewels beat but I'm glad it exists as it is. Wish he'd do another jazz album, honestly. Also The Weathermen. Camu, Aes Rock, El-P, Cage, Vast Aire... a lot of talent in that group.

They're too busy selling their songs to turbo tax. Sellouts.

I really like "Legend Has It" but I haven't really explored their other stuff. Can you suggest something in the same vein?
