Fifty-word review
7.2 out of 10
Cancer for Cure’s corrosive, frayed music sounds like it’s filtered through rusty tin and mixed on grimy tape. Guest artists overshadow El-P’s rough, wordy rhymes, because he’s merely a competent MC. Be careful, though—the distorted beats are good enough to let you overlook (and even grow to like) his lyrics.
