In a couple of now-deleted tweets, El-P also had some good things to say about the movie:
also: I saw the new fan 4 like 5 months ago and it’s fucking good. funny watching people be freaked out about it knowing this.
put it to you this way: the new fan 4 makes the last fan 4 look like the fan 4 your little sister imagined when she was 4.
UPDATE: El-P has returned to Twitter with a bit more information about his composition. It’s not a hip-hop beat but instead is inspired by minimalist composer Philip Glass, “but twisted, of course.” And he’s hoping to premiere it on Run The Jewels’ Beats 1 radio show WRTJ if he can get permission.
trying to get the powers that be to let me play the fan 4 piece on #WRTJ.

my fan 4 piece is definitely not a hip hop beat. more like an homage to one of my biggest influences Philip glass. but twisted, of course.
