Real talk: looking back, most of that def jux/anticon/rhymesayers indie nerd rap was fukking garbage

[smokeurobinson]

Real talk...I got into Hip Hop messageboards in the year 2000 and I remember those names in the OP being pushed heavy online, had me thinking theuy were some sort of underground gold. But it was just hype by whoteboys who were into that crap.

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 shiny suit era...the inclusion of r&b hooks on damn near everything...Eminem being the sole white representation in hiphop prob got on a couple of those white rapper's nerves too lol

i really cant believe that i liked some of that shyt...some was dope though and still is.

From 2000-2003 an epic onslaught of nerdy pretentious elitist white rappers came out of the woodwork and managed to take hip-hop into some of it's worst years ever...

I'm talking about
Sage Francis
Dose One
Anticon
Deep Puddle Dynamics
clouddead
Aesop Rock
MC Paul Barman
Hot Karl

And many others.

I tried listening to their stuff again a couple of weeks ago and just could not do it....

I agree

Wiki sez that Hot Karl wrote for WWE in 2006 and his cousin is Lexi Belle

Labor Days is the only thing I can stand from Aesop Rock and that album aged terribly.

Yeah. That was around the time I started posting on Ughh.com

Honestly, I never got into that whole movement...Sage, El-P, Sole, Aesop...etc. They created their own lane, but apart from a few songs, that shyt just seemed too abstract and on that "you don't understand how deep and cool we are". Everybody was raving about dope beats, to me that shyt was not banging. At all.

Only cats that have grown on me were Copywrite and Cage (before the emo shyt), the rest is just boring to me.

Both Copywrite and Cage fell off serious.
