What did El-P say about "The Full Retard"?
Genius Answer

I always had that Camu Tao line in my head. ‘So you can pump this shit… like they do in the future.’ That shit is just brilliant. Instead of making a song about ‘the future’ I just ended up making a joint about how I saw reality. It was also on some ‘I’m back, motherfuckers’ shit. I just wanted people to know I’m coming out swinging.

El-P via The Skinny.
