Antipop Consortium (hip-hop, rap, album, cover, solo)

Are an incredible hip-hop outfit who showcase not only fluid raps,
brilliant rhymes and impeccable delivery, but also production that
defines any sort of categorization--elements of musique concrete,
turntablism, trademark hip-hop, glitch, and subdued elements of
noise and drone. Their last album before they disbanded in 2005
was a collaboration with Matthew Shipp, an avant-garde pianist
in the vein of Cecil Taylor, so their music could just as easily go
in the "experimental" thread. My personal favorite is Arrhythmia
(which is in the shoutbox) which sounds like a mix of Aesop,
RJD2 and Black Dice.

Any band that you post about is always worth digestion.

there are some odd cuts from APC that are just win.. Ghostlawns and Dead in Motion for example.

Arrythmia is a gem, although I don't find myself drawn to listen to it so often. My favourite song is We Kill Soapscum, the beat is hypnotic.
You also have to love the scat vocals at the end of Silver Heat.

Three amazingly dope emcees who are far too often rapping over beats that don't deserve their attention... Beans has probably had the best solo album, but M. Sayyid and High Priest are by far my favorites. M. Sayyid killed it on the Mumia 911 project.

Damn fine rap act. Shopping Carts Crashing is the only album I've got but it's fecking sweet.
