Yeah, but I feel like Alopecia and Elephant Eyelash should go hand in hand. Oh, dreadnaught, I think I'll make you my friend right now with this:

Take-Away Show: Why? - "Eskimo Snow" | Crackle

New Why? album coming soon.

Oh, the things I would do to be in that parking lot. That was charming.

I'm extremely looking forward to a new album, thanks for the heads up.

I think it's like, a bunch of songs that weren't put on Alopecia, and some other things, or something like that. I'll see if I can find the news story thing about it again, man.

I actually downloaded Oaklandazulasylum before you posted, and it's interesting but not as hip hop as I was hoping for. I'll go for Elephant Eyelash next and see what I think.

I'd say Alopecia has more elements of hip hop than EE does, if that's what you're looking for. Again, both are great so it probably doesn't matter which one you go with.

Why? is not really just a hip hop group, it's a big mesh of genres. But yes, as said, Alopecia has more hip hop elements than Elephant Eyelash. Songs like Good Friday, The Fall of Mr. Fifths, Brook & Waxing, and By Torpedo or Crohn's.

So, I got sidetracked looking through the Anticon roster and ended up with A New White by Subtle, which is a side-project by Doseone I think.

Anyway, I'm on a first listen and I can already tell it's excellent. The production is just stellar, with a stronger hip hop focus than Why? but in a completely original way.

Deep Puddle Dynamics are excellent but I can't find my cCloudead album Any up's will be appreciated why? are excellent too. I need to get hold of Alopecia as I only have Elephant Eye Lash.

That album I posted earlier in this thread is more "hip-hop" than most of what you'll see from Anticon. Mostly because folks like Aesop Rock and Brother Ali spittin on it.
