||||||||
|

clouddead fuckin rules, they only have 1 album anyways, they have some vinyl only stuff but other than that only 1 cd and I think theres a peel session floating around too. clouddead IS NOT on anticon, its on mush records but all 3 people on it(odd nosdam, why? and dose one are apart of anticon) |

even i recognize the difference between anticon and cLOUDDEAD... anticon really is "annoying wannabe pretentious whiteboy shh" as theo put it, but cLOUDDEAD's pretty awesome if you just don't think of it as hip-hop. most of it really isn't, except in name. i mean... i've heard radiohead songs that are more hip-hop than a lot of the cLOUDDEAD i've heard (and side projects). |

i'd say that almost all the music on cLOUDDEAD has somewhat of a hip-hop element to it... you can clearly hear the hip-hop background, but i agree, this is not what i label hip-hop. it's just cLOUDDEAD. for anyone who's often dissapointed by live "hip-hop", please don't miss a chance to see cD or themselves. some truly incredible stuff. among the most powerful live performances i've ever seen. the whole crew is great, live electronics, but specifically doseone really has the performer-audience resonance thing down. music's roots in shamanism comes through quite clearly at their shows. cD live is even quite danceable, if you could believe. much different tone than the studio biz. |

i think your comment is sort of pretentious. it's just music that you don't like. |

I've actually never listened to them .. I just noted their connection with a redhead fatboy that looks like he writes code for a living from MAINE (listen, I know it's an artform, and is therefore "universal" - however one wants to justify it.. but come on.. let's put some limits on this.. if you're from maine, it's best to move before becoming a rapper [on another parenthetic tangential note .. a kid that lived down the hall from me last year had an old demo of his that began w/ him saying "this is some brooklyn shit" BROOKLYN he said.. fatass redhead computer geek from MAINE claiming brooklyn.. tsk tsk tsk]) anyway... where was I.. oh right.. clouddead.. I haven't listened to them yet.. and I'm just turned off by the whole soft, forced-sense-of-conflict and experimentalism of anticon-esque hip-hop.. it's liek these kids are trying to be more expressive w/ rap, which is good.. and as a way of doing this distance the production and lyrical content as far as possible from the fabolouses and the nellys of the industry.. but at the same time the 'hardness' and bravado that comes w/ the territory of having the 'rapper' label hasn't been shed in their minds yet.. it's like they feel they still have to inflect a certain way and carry a certain attitude w/ their rapping.. which sortof defeats the initial purpose of their mission as artists.. I don't know.. it just seems all very fake, self-conscious and laughable to me.. |

cLOUDDEAD are excellent. whoever above that was slating anticon, (theo?), is completely missing the point and allowing prejudice to blank out a world of music that is both very, very clever and extremely musical. |

they are signed to Big Dada a sublabel of Ninja Tne |

i'd have to agree with regarding most of anticon, i listen to very little fromt the label, but there is some genuine good music that isn't pretentious coming from some of those artists. and i think cD is not so heavy with the bullshit you get from certain releases by sole and friends. |
||||||||

in other words the 'anticon' element that people dislike shouldn't be presumed to be the rule for all artists affiliated with the label. |

I think I understand why people find anticon pretentious....in fact I agree with them in a way....on the other hand, those white kids are trying to do something different, which is always interesting, even if their music is not that good....about cLOUDEAD, I dont really like what they do, but once again it was an interesting attempt...most journalists didnt know how to label the record when it came out, which is often a good sign too.. |

I love the clouddead album. it's pretty weird, but they seem too concerned with making music to come off as pretentious. other anticon-related releases might be a different story, however. |
