WATCH IT: El-P "Stay Down" (Timothy Saccenti, dir.)

Here's the delicate line of hip-hop: The core audience lives for verses full of dexterous, sharp worldplay, but the masses just want to hear the hook. El-P faces them head-on, playing for a female audience that can't wait to force him and his drumming squirrel (yes) off-stage so Nick Diamond aka TV On The Radio's Jaleel Bunton as an old-fashioned shiny suit pop star can steal the spotlight. Things get violent (poor squirrel), but nowhere near as gnarly as when Peter Rosenberg said he didn't believe in Starships.  --> watch "Stay Down"
