'And once again, in one verse, we have proven, we can rip all these signed, big-budget motherfuckers,' said El-P. That line, from 'Bad Touch Example,' are the first words on Company Flow's debut album Funcrusher Plus. And with them El-P declared war on the status quo of a genre that didn't even have a status quo 10 years earlier. But by 1997 (or even 1995, when the track was recorded), corporate hip-hop was very much a thing, and major labels were looking for groups with potential hits and an MTV-friendly image, not ones whose intricate wordplay required repeated listening. Think 1997's Bad Boy Tour, with Puff and Ma$e in those silver suits.
Founded in Brooklyn in 1992 by rapper El-P and DJ Mr. Len, Company Flow was made complete by the addition of second rapper, Big Juss, shortly thereafter. An expansion on 1996's Funcrusher EP, Funcrusher Plus was the first album released on Rawkus Records. It was a sprawling 19 tracks over 73 minutes of odd samples, angular beats, lyrical gymnastics (on the first track, 'Bad Touch Example,' El-P almost injures himself getting out 'Triple felon MC minus the melanin/When I bomb it's the type of shit to make Baby Jessica jump in the well again'), and what probably works out to hundreds of pop culture references. Lyrically, it was the equivalent of the sampling on the Beastie Boys' Paul's Boutique—pure sensory overload. It's a graduate thesis of an album, one that influenced countless groups that came after. But that's not why it's on here—it's on here because it was fucking dope. --Russ Bengtston
