El-P: My mom likes it. [laughter] It was different back then: We were in The Source, DJ Premier was rocking our shit on his mixtapes, KRS-One was rapping above our instrumentals. We kind of came out at the perfect time because people hadn’t yet created subgenres so we were thrown into the pantheon of rap music in general. There wasn’t a lot of people being like “Wow, they listen to this kind of rap.” But when I was a kid I just assumed everyone should like this shit because I felt like I was the ultimate hip-hop fan. Like: “Yo, this adheres to my very fucking strict standards of what a dope record should be.” I was 21 so I was pretty fucking high on myself.
