Stylus Magazine

It has been said (very perceptively, I might add) that hip hop was the first underground music genre that fully embraced capitalism as the music gained popularity. Now hip hop has become a cottage industry of sorts. ...more

All Music Guide

Of all the boundary-pushing underground hip-hop acts who emerged in the late '90s,Company Flowwas easily among the hardest and least compromising, spinning highly technical rhymes over buzzing, lo-fi beats with virtually no concessions to melody or ...more

The A.V. Club

The career of Company Flow mastermind El-P serves as a sharp counterpoint to the rise and fall of Rawkus Records, the label that released the group's full-length debut, Funcrusher Plus. That album earned the group a fervent cult following while helping...read the complete review at The A.V. Club
