LA RECENSIONE

Some have big chains.
Some have "puttanone".
Some even have mink coats.
Some have connections with Networks.
Some have their shows on Networks.
Some have connections with Pop Stars.
Some have connections with Nu Metal stars.
Some have connections with video directors.
Some have submission to the demands of the target.
Some need fame.
Some always have the blunt in hand.
Some have time to make movies.

He doesn't have these things. But he has style and imagination. The others do not.

The others drown in deep water, he swims in it. He sees the big umbrellas from afar: Xzibit builds sandcastles. With the next Snoop Dogg album: bucket and spade included. Eminem: Branded boxers. Outkast: Twin deck chairs. Krunk-Crew: Cocktail umbrellas. Wu-Tang: A faux leather kimono.

My name is El-P: a producer of rap tunes.
And not only that.
