Can Ox Not Broken Up

Montana Diary · 04-20-2007, 12:38 PM

This past March when he was asked if a new Cannibal Ox record was coming out anytime soon Def Jux head El-P was quick to express his disappointment, stating “I really doubt it. The fact of the matter is that everyone has been crossing their fingers, including Def Jux, hoping that Cannibal Ox would get their shit together as a group, even to the point where I resigned them. I really hoped and prayed that they would get their shit together, thought they were at a certain juncture in time. At this point I can’t pretend anymore or cover for those guys. They haven’t been together for a long time, but they tried to get it back together again, but it’s proving to be an impossible task."

A new album has been rumored almost since the day the Cold Vein hit stores in 2001 however since that El-P interview at the end of march, rumors have been spreading like a wildfire that group had finally disbanded for good. Vast Aire silenced all with a quick myspace blog revealing some interesting information about partner Vordul Mega, “Many people want to know what’s been up with the follow up to our classic LP ‘Cold Vein’ the truth is Vordul Mega (aka Shamar) has been suffering with clinical depression for years and this has hurt the progress of Cannibal Ox projects. Yes we are still friends and yes we do still record music. Some of our new music will be on my solo rec. Dueces Wild coming soon!! I hope this clears up any thoughts on us.”

Thank god, I was hoping they didnt break up, I remember el-p said he was going to start work on the new Ox record right after he got his shit out. As for Vorduls depression, I bet it all came down on him after old boy broke his jaw lol. poor guy cant catch a break (except to his face

)
