Jesus, i went to see an Anticon showcase last night in Glasgow. It was like some twisted hip-hop pantomime rather than a show. First off was Doseone's band thing called "Themselves" who were quite shit to be honest...but the sound in the venue cut out halfway through their set. Unfazed by this, Doseone began just talking over the crowd without a mic, doing hilarious freestyles and a comedy routine!!! It was crazy!! Then a guy called Sole came on once they had (kind of) sorted out the sound. He had to rap to instrumentals of a cd player.. He totally rocked the house big time!! Very thought provoking rapper. And then........................the climax of the evening came with Sage Francis. This guy totally rocked shit unbelievably. Never have i seen a rapper play a show like this....he was using loads of samples and instrumentals from famous cock rock and hip hop tunes and turning them into his own twisted versions.....this boy has talent and i suggest you look out for it... anyways, sorry bout the long winded report, but last night changed my life forever... one more thing, if you live in Germany or Holland....they're touring there the next few days....PLEASE. I BEG YOU TO CHECK THIS OUT!!! IT WAS FANTASTIC!!!! |

I don't think much of Anticon, they seem to be nerd rappers mostly, trying too hard. |

Trying to hard to be clever intelligent rappers, trying to be inventive when it seems a little forced usually. I'm not an expert but thats what it seemed like to me. No need for the double question mark to be honest I find that offensive. |

it probably seems a little forced in that ine has to think about what they are saying for a long time before they can come up with an inkling as to what they mean... but to my knowledge most can just improvise and just drop it all right there... and it's hard to be forceful when it's all floating out of you really... people should just regard it as post-modern poetry and not worry so much about trying to place the square-peg in the the round rap paradigm... i am a huge fan of quite a bit of anticon myself... Sole, Doseone, Sage Francis... you can't go wrong with any of those guys... i'm not such a huge fan of alias... or eyedea... but there is a lot of talent in that stable... |
