The group disbanded in 2000 after Bigg Jus had left in 1999. As a duo, El-P and Mr. Len released another instrumental album called Little Johnny From the Hospitul, after which each of the elements pursued their solo projects, El-P expanding the roster of his label Definitive Jux and Mr. Len giving life to Dummy Smacks Records.
Bigg Jus started up the label Sub Verse Music which temporarily became a distributing point of conscious, independent hip hop. Currently Jus is living in Atlanta, having released several solo and collabo records.
In 2007, the two Co Flow lyricists temporarily re-joined on stage at the CMJ Music Festival in New York. The 10 year anniversary re-issue of Funcrusher Plus, to appear on Def Jux (and for which Co Flow were supposed to be recording new material) has been delayed.
Silence
Company Flow Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Company Flow manifests itself in many different ways
We rhyme like this is the last fucking days
Of course we've got El P DJ Mr. Len
And the one and only
Just style is infinite so pass me the rock
Got the same burner as the kid down the block
Yo he'll stick you with a felony just to fill a quota
I've got more styles than pagers by Motorola
Legendary seven y'all claiming fuzz had inflicted it
When played and AD hit in
They came way back was killing it
Who's the wildest be -boy with the paid style that's ill
Encased in a glass dome I pull mikes like filaments
I'm tungsten, light within that causes something
Lick off a legal shot hit the edge and turn busting
The trendy setter shot Joey now his cousins bludgeon
They ask for it, permanent vacation with no passport
Top ranked televisor of boxing as a sport
I keep my gun cocked for all you hard rocks
And grab my crotch at one time when they roll through my block
Bigg Jus from the see ya, and we rule non-stop!
Bigg bigg Jus, they start fuming when I set it
Breaking down with the flow
Bigg bigg Jus, they start fuming when I set it
After the verse
I got the fat cat Krylon paint, radioactive
Busting out sockets leaving Earth in this bastard
Rock the overdose, fiend back the graphics
Lost off through a vortex, you came out on plastic
Punch numbers buy me a thought last year candy gram
Busting VSOL, on some shit, I'm the man
Housing heads one of 2000 in reefer's dead
The underground's uncertain
Scrub skills keep resurfacing
Grip the cryogenic body soaked in mystery
Known for making emcees change belief from Tai Chi to ESP
When I drop skills sick like buy my gee
These heads hate me vibing to shit that bump like Teddys
Still refuse excess I be phasing energy
Push Kevlar sub woofers, deposits, enemies
Face the finest war the final conflict for heroin
The growth stunter run the shit down like Heather Hunter
All five are up in that man control to uproot the ruthless demigod
Notorious sets in half
And they can't be attacked by entering the dragon's path
And you won't last in the rugged badlands of the math
All due respect to the DJ breakdance and graf
I could go on about days going dashed
But I won't, indeed yes I will
I buckshot more drunk toxins than golden seal
The lyrics of Company Flowβs βSilenceβ can be interpreted as a showcase of the groupβs rap skills and lyrical prowess. The first few lines introduce the members of the group, including El P and DJ Mr. Len, before moving into a series of verses that highlight their abilities as rappers. The line βJust style is infinite so pass me the rock / Got the same burner as the kid down the blockβ suggests that they possess a limitless range of styles and techniques when it comes to rapping.
Following this, the tone shifts towards a more aggressive and confrontational one, with lines such as βI keep my gun cocked for all you hard rocks / And grab my crotch at one time when they roll through my blockβ indicating a readiness for confrontation with those who would challenge them. References to Krylon paint and graffiti culture also suggest a willingness to break rules and push boundaries.
In the final verse, the lyrics take a more abstract turn, with lines such as βGrip the cryogenic body soaked in mystery / Known for making emcees change belief from Tai Chi to ESPβ playing with ideas of mystery and the unknown. The repeated mention of drugs like heroin and toxins also suggests a dark and dangerous world that the group is navigating.
Overall, βSilenceβ is a fierce and complex song that showcases Company Flowβs talents as rappers and their willingness to push boundaries and confront societal norms.

Legendary seven y'all claiming fuzz had inflicted it
People are attributing my success to luck

When our music is played, it's a hit
They came way back was killing it
Our old music was amazing
Who's the wildest be-boy with the paid style that's ill
I am the best rapper with a unique style
Encased in a glass dome I pull mikes like filaments
I'm protected yet still shine
I'm tungsten, light within that causes something
I'm a strong yet impactful force
Lick off a legal shot hit the edge and turn busting
My powerful rap brings the heat

I got the fat cat Krylon paint, radioactive
I have high-quality graffiti spray paint
Busting out sockets leaving Earth in this bastard
I'm causing a stir with my graffiti
Rock the overdose, fiend back the graphics
I'm proud of my graffiti art
Lost off through a vortex, you came out on plastic
My graffiti transports you to another world
Punch numbers buy me a thought last year candy gram
I'm spending money on drugs
Busting VSOL, on some shit, I'm the man
I'm using a popular drug and feel invincible
Housing heads one of 2000 in reefer's dead
Many people are losing their lives to drugs
The underground's uncertain
The rap scene is unpredictable
Scrub skills keep resurfacing
Rap techniques are making a comeback
Grip the cryogenic body soaked in mystery
I'm holding onto something unknown and valuable
Known for making emcees change belief from Tai Chi to ESP
My rap is mind-altering
When I drop skills sick like buy my gee
When I rap powerfully
These heads hate me vibing to shit that bump like Teddys
Some people dislike my music taste
Still refuse excess I be phasing energy
I'm conserving energy and staying focused
Push Kevlar sub woofers, deposits, enemies
I'm blasting loud music and making enemies
Face the finest war the final conflict for heroin
The war on drugs is intensifying
The growth stunter run the shit down like Heather Hunter
I am causing destruction and chaos
All five are up in that man control to uproot the ruthless demigod
We're a powerful group focused on taking down corrupt leaders
Notorious sets in half
Famous groups are breaking up
And they can't be attacked by entering the dragon's path
They're untouchable
And you won't last in the rugged badlands of the math
You won't survive in our harsh world
All due respect to the DJ breakdance and graf
We have respect for DJs, breakdancers, and graffiti artists
I could go on about days going dashed
I could talk all day
But I won't, indeed yes I will
Actually, I will
I buckshot more drunk toxins than golden seal
I drink too much and it's harmful
