anticon was fukking worst, man. i mean, i was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more of a backpacker/"real hip-hop!" dude during that time and even then i wanted to slap sole and dose one and them in the goddamn face.
honestly most of the music from that sub-genre was pretty shytty...and of the stuff that was actually good...most of that hasn't aged well. cold vein is still the shyt though.
my favorite artist from that indie/nerd-rap/whatever movement is el-p...and strangely enough, i didn't even really like el-p (especially as a rapper) back then. company flow? fantastic damage?
wasn't feeling it. even in my prime "underground!" days i was like 
but his solo albums, his production (like on cage's hell's winter, which is fukking dope btw), all the way to his current shyt with him and killer mike. he's survived, evolved and improved. i mean, the two run the jewels albums are up in my favorite hip-hop/rap albums in the past like 5 years.
so like him or not, el-p actually still has some relevance. and now that i'm thinking about it...fukk i sound like such a stan...but who else from his class/era can say that?

Lol how'd I miss this thread.
Slug and dose one were dope though. Rest of them cats were hot garbage.
I have the anticon CD somewhere. It may be worth something to these nerds.

Of course it was. Only thing cornier was their pseudo "real hip hop" self conscious fanbase.

Black people don't have neanderthal DNA. Science has proved that was your people.
We're full on human.
I still don't understand what even started this underground craze during those times? what made so many people get into this shyt randomly?
im assuming it had a lot to do with Eminem???...that wack ass beef with cage which got people searching shyt like napster or whatever to figure out who that was...and then when you would search all those old Eminem battles youd then find a bunch of scribble jam artists by default....

The ring tone era, "does your chain hang low" bullsheet. That's what got me listening to the underground at least. It's not just white backpacker shyt that's considered underground neither. Masta Ace, Deltron, and Royce (at that time) were underground. Of the white rappers in this movement, I only listened to Slug and Brother Ali. I only really liked the God Loves Ugly album. Brother Ali on the other hand has been dope for many albums.
The underground >>>>>> mainstream, for that time period. No one is bumping Laffy taffy or that crap now. We don't even have to talk about aging badly. shyt was garbage the moment it was conceived in the studio.

the "ringtone" era you speak of was like '04-'06ish
the underground craze was like '99/'00-'03ish if I had to take a guess
