How come no-one is talking about antipop consortium's new album? It is one of the bravest gestures in todays hip-hop (some would call it incredibly pretentious of course and disgraceful to hip-hop too) and it's on WARP and it's production is FANTASTIC and the rhymes are out there to the max. Come on, you cunts.. |

if we make reservations we can have arrhythmia in a half an hour |

|
eh? I've had it for a whole week now and can't leave it alone. |
||||||||
|

HELL YEAH!!! ITS ONE OF THIS YEARS BEST RECORDS SO FAR DEFINITLY!!!!! |

I can't afford anything at the moment. I might get it when I get paid. I don't tend to buy hip hop anymore, though I know this is different. Is Mike Ladd part of the band? |

Arch, I was kinda thinking of you when starting this thread. I knew you'd love it, one of the best hip-hop records to come out lately and with a nod to that knobtwiddling/ IDM/ glitch community but still holding its own ground. And the lyrics... Actually, I can't make out half of what's going on but that makes me go back to it even more. And the production!!! Did you notice how the bass makes you lose orientation, it shakes your brain in its bone craddle... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no, he's not. But they are kinda part of the same scene... Well, jonesy, this is not your classical hip-hop, it's very out there, actually |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thanx for the recomendation...i'll go and d/l it now! |
||||||||

'classical hip hop' thats a genre crossover id like to hear! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, do it and have fun. mind you, it challenges listening habits very much and you might wonder what the fuck is this crap and what are they on about, but it should grow on you quickly (in my case it only took one serious listen) |

Did anyone get the Saul Williams' album? I was well disappointed. I heard Twice the First Time and it blew me away. Nothing on the album compares though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no, i didn't mean it as in classical music meets hip-hop, but you are just poking fun surely... As a matter of fact, one of the tracks off Arrhythmia, "Mega" makes an incredible bland of glitchy hip-hop and some female opera singing but not in that cheesy way of certain mainstream hip-hop artists: it is so idiosyncratic that it works for me every time I hear it. |

i was meaning to check it out ever since it was realised but people constantly kept putting me off with comments similar to yours |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok, i'm listening to the first two tracks now, congestion/bubbles...it's really good! i love experimental anything! and especially i like this because i used to be into 90's gangsta rap...but now...(well..you guys know me well enough), so obviously i like it. but i need to be more indifrent to give it justice. were you wanting to review this? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
er... maybe... I used to be a music journalist once but was really dissatisfyed with my writing style so I quit. Give me some time to think it over. My writing is basically a pretentious crap and I'm not sure about my english either. And wait until you reach Ping Pong and Dead in Motion |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, ping pong is a little cheasy in my ears...but very original... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hmm, I like ping pong precisely because it plays around some cheesy sounds and still creates a profound narative (uhm, there you have a classic example of my preposterous writing style) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oy, what you should do is just write me a sample, and i'll tell you about the writing style. Just be yourself, and i'm looking for permenant staff members, which means i must stress the personal voice even more. |

|
will think about it and won't make any promises. Is that cool? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, that's perfectly fine. i'm very FAR with completing the site. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
excellent. Have you downloaded dead in motion and Mega yet? |
||||||||
|
|

please support good music if you like it. Other dope "real" hip hop Sage Francis Aceyalone Aesop Rock J-Live |

i'm with archrival on this, also check out: the already mentioned Cannibal Ox, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, People Under the Stairs, DJ Vadim... |

i've had the whole cd... i was expecting something a little more gansta...or poppy...i don't think i like it to much...it just has lame written all over it, and the ideas seem like it was written by teens. the production isn't that bad, but you have to consider that they don't really have much going on to it, and that their lyrics are their strong point, and most of the times when they get expiremental with the chopping up of sounds...the song structure seems to be pretty much intro/verse/chorus/bridge/chorus (just a rought estimate of my first listen). i feel that bullbes will be the single off of this cd. and since they placed it as the second track...that's a dead giveaway most a lot of times. One of the worst tracks is ping pong, and mega. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
wow, you vicious, cruel thing... But anyway I told you that it really challenges listening habits. I actually like the production, it's total weirdness and cheesiness combined with familiar structures... But I never dug gangsta anyway... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nanotech: yeah sometimes Anti-Pop feels like that, I thought so too...BUT THEY ARE ILLL!!! Now im relly feeling them, I got all their releases except Tragic Epilouge |
||||||||
|

|
|
how does it compare to say prefuse73? only heard the frontpage warp stuff, and that was just vocals without music |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
FINALLY! someone mentions their new album. ive been listening to it for the last 2 weeks and just cant stop. and ping is one of the nicest tracks on there, imo. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I dled a track of Aesop Rock's. It's fucking ace! Really nice. |
