The Anticon Appreciation Thread (alternative, hip-hop, rap, genre, album)

[simplephysics]

The founding members of Anticon have been releasing genre-shattering infused hip hop since 1997 and have made a huge impact on what we consider as 'alternative' hip hop, as well as having a firm voice in the industry as a whole, and I think they deserve some love. The main ‘collective' consists of Doseone, JEL, Sole, Why?, Odd Nosdam, Alias and Pedestrian but they often collaborate with each other, forming acts such as Subtle, cLOUDDEAD, Hymie's Basement and a **** load of other collaborations. The amount of music and diversity put out by the Anticon group is nothing short of amazing. If you can't get into 'rap' this might be a good place to start, or a good place to realize it's not all black and white.

So basically, if you don't appreciate these artists we can't be friends.
