Been waiting on this one! I discovered Anticon via "Dear ElPee" after thinking 'who would have the balls to go after Company Flow??' as a teenager. Still remember them dropping Linda Tripp live on Stretch and Bob's show, I had that tape for years. Fun times.
I totally forgot they played that up on Stretch and Bob (may have been CM Famalam by this time tho). I do remember that now. Crazy.
Sole said in a interview that its was because Fat Beats rejected his albums (it wasn't that Company Flow Lane). He said he was immature and took it personally which he probably shouldn't have so he recorded the diss. He still regrets it apparently
I heard they making a new PopEye with Will Smith 😂😂
it's funny they both ended up working with DJ Krush and are on the Stepping Stones Self Remix album.
i was bumpin Sole and Co Flow around 1999 heard Sole Dear Elpee really felt the beat def was a diss track to El P then i heard Linda Tripp and Daaaaamn!! El P totally obliterated Soles diss track. i still love Sole tho he made a mistake with that El Ps diss but still had a lot of quality music def bumped Anticon songs Savior and Divine Disappointment Eyedea Slug hard ass lyricists
Thank you for doing this. I experienced this at the time, in the moment. Not enough history on this period in hip-hop. BTW, I think “Dear Elpee” was a great track, too. Love that beat. Also, pretty certain (would have to be home and check my collection) that Vordul appeared with other Atoms members on a track on Sole’s ‘Music Without A Face’ EP. 99% certain of that.
BTW, got home. Cofirmed Vordul and others are on that EP from 1998.
Cracking episode. Looking forward to Fondle Em Fossils!
Genius says this is the lyric that Sole interpreted as dissing him: "Diss me on the internet like picket line-crossin' Teamsters
Scabs that's really down with hip hop only if convenient
Kill 'em!" Anyone know why he thought that was dissing him?
At the time, Hip-Hop Site did a great breakdown of the beef. It involved a website banner that Sole had on his site.
I just added two links on the main thread, the first one has Sole explaining his perspective on this. Hope that helps you out.
There was an additional line "is it live you fucking suckers???" that Sole perceived as a diss to his then crew called "Live Poets" ... its a stretch I know lol
I was definitely around during this time. I miss the old Ozone times. The time of chopping it up on the regular with the legends and hip-hop heads, and getting the super exclusive joints. The best diss track ever recorded.
🔥🔥🔥
Thanks for this episode. I actually felt the conviction and the pain from that "Linda Tripp" dis. It was lethal.
Real history, from a veteran, right here. Great episode.
Re: the motivation for the Sole dis-just speculating based on my unreliable memory, but didn’t Sole accuse El of using his influence to torpedo Sole w/ distributors? I feel like he alluded to this in the song somewhere, but your Fat Beats / Other Music comparison would suggest that this may have been simply more to do with audiences that for various reasons did not overlap rather than any shady / delusional conspiracy.
Nasa, you’re too humble - you’ve always been more than “the guy who hits record”
PS love Fuze subtly shooing away the cat :D
