I could wax poetic about the importance of Company Flow’s Funcrusher EP, but the fact that its recent Definitive Jux reissue more than stands the test of time says more than I could ever hope to. Len would go on to some indie success, namely with their respective labels Definitive Jux and Dummy Smacks, it isn’t an overstatement to say that no single member of the group has been able to match the heights Company Flow so easily reached. Of course, Company Flow were one of the groups that fell by the wayside, forgotten by the masses. The group eventually landed on Rawkus, a label that would ultimately prove itself to possibly be the biggest disappointment in hip-hop history, housing a stable of insanely talented groups that it did little more than neglect. Take Company Flow following the underground success of their single “8 Steps to Perfection” and the ensuing Funcrusher EP, they had major labels falling over themselves to sign them. There are so many variables in what makes a group a success versus a failure that it’s sort of amazing anyone with talent ever makes it through.
