I donגt think both have aged as well as we would have liked, but TFIS had the ill production that I still listen to like Rock Star, Drug Music, Black Helicopters and CIA.

Non-Phixion is the less potent of two HIV strains.

I disagree. Funcrusher Plus is easily one of the best albums of the 90s in any genre. In fact, that shit's been getting more run than I'll Sleep When You're Dead lately. I think El-P has gotten progressively worse with each release:

Funcrusher Plus>The Cold Vein>Fantastic Damage>I'll Sleep When You're Dead

Anyway, Funcrusher Plus has the best song El will probably ever craft ("Last Good Sleep"), some of his filthiest beats, and easily gets my vote over The Future Is Now.

Not big on any of the emcees in these groups but I like the beats on Funcrusher better than The Future is Now.

Do you want to step in cat shit or step in dog shit?

"Rock Stars" and "Black Helicopters" are listenable for their beats and because you can listen to them and pretend you're nigga Todd chillin' in da pantry wif gl0ckz on c0ck.

Pretending that you're Mindbender or Brougham listening to El P's monotonous rambling on "Funcrusher Plus" isn't quite the same.

Like them both a lot, but Funcrusher still feels like a bigger deal.

ROFLMAO

The Future Is Now is Illmatic for disgruntled, acne-scarred white kids named Angelo and Sully who used to listen to Korn and Limp Bizkit but now think Necro is "wicked sick, kid".

TFIN beats should have gone to Screwball or any number of worthy rappers.

Funcrusher Plus is dope. People who don't think so usually like Soljah Boy and that's all I got to say about that.

Goretex and Big Jus are the only things I still enjoy about either of these

Goretex more so NP wins

the future is now has alot of really great beats.

company flow had a few.

neither album had very good rappers.

I own The Future is Now. I have never heard Funcrusher Plus more than one casual listen.

I already know that Co Flow's album is better though, cause The Future is Now doesn't let up well over time at all.

reevolution · Post by **reevolution** » Fri Oct 26, 2007 5:06 pm

Future is Now because I love 3/4 of the beats on it.

Funcrusher is dope too but after about 6 tracks in it just gets repetitive and more boring.

Plus I'd rather listen to Jewish pseudo-thugs rap on beat, with rhythm and flow, than nasal space rappers talk all over the place about spaceships and yadda yadda yadda, without any sense of timing (which is the granddaddy of Mindbender's style).

Voted Funcrusher, and I don't even like it that much. The MCing on Future is Now is horrid.

just because you're too :retard:

to understand "even when I say nothing it's a beautiful use of negative space" doesn't mean El-P suckz. It means YOU DO
