Byron Crawford Rates El-P "Rap Album of the Half Year"
XXL.com columnist Byron Crawford raves that El-P's I'll Sleep When You're Dead is the best rap album he's heard this year, and "by a wide margin".
"There’s been three or four pretty good rap albums so far this year, but El-P’s I’ll Sleep When You’re Dead is the only one I’m still listening to on a regular basis months after the fact, as if it was… you know, a rock album."
A thumbs up from the controversial Crawford is like gold, so check out the whole blog at: http://www.xxlmag.com/online/?p=11292
