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

[ePiffany]

at least no one posts about that garbage

but u got nikkas on here stanning g unit and fabolous and shyt in the year 2016

Don't understand why in this era people still don't realize how C thru all that shyt is

 

[UserNameless]

It really was....one of the reasons I stopped listening to Bobbito



Shyt like Thirston Howell was pathetic

Lo Lives were official on that NYC street shyt tho


His Lo collection

Copped thirstin's first "official" solo... Haven't listened to it in a decade at least.


But he did kinda carry the torch for that humorous, grimy shyt.

It was two different 'underground hip-hops' in the 2000s

one side was most of the corny motherfukkas listed in this thread most of whom were a damn joke and underground for a reason!

the other side was dope cats Akir, DOOM, immortal Tech, The STRONGHOLD, MF GRIMM, M.I.C. Hasan Salaam, Count bass D, Edan ect.

facts...off topic but Hasan Salaam makes porn videos

Yea i was in that phase.

I listened to an album i thought was always gon be classic to me. Violent by design by jedi mind tricks

shyt was so trash i almost cried at my stupidity.

Jus allah was my man too...

Idk i used to absolutely love this shyt but i just wasnt feeling ANY of it the otherday when i out it on.

that album is dope although Vinnie Paz is

This era didn't bother me. I heard good music.



Better than this Sodom and Gomorrah shyt I suffer through now

Omg! I will not accept the Jedi Mind Tricks slander...lol. Violent By Design still goes hard. But I can see why people dont like it.

Used to love it bro. Idk i was so suprised flipping thru it and it justbwasnt clicking with me no more.

I mean the joints i did like (smash mics and heavenly divine remix) are still pretty good but the other joints i just couldnt vibe wit anymore. I migjt need to give it another chance tho.. maybe i justbwasnt in the mood cuz if u woulda asked me about it a cpl months back i woulda said itbwas one of my top 30 hip hop albums.

I never flipped on an album like that before. I was shocked at my new feelins. Jus allah used to be one of those rappers i looked forward to the most

Damn I wish I woulda been up on this thread back when it first popped off a year ago. I was deep in the indie/underground hip-hop scene. I agree with the general premise of this thread. Alot of that nerd CAC shyt that dropped back then aged horribly. It was self-righteous, pretentious, off-beat bullshyt. It also was low-key with its holier than thou attitude like their brand of hip-hip was too advanced for the average, typical hip-hop consumer.

HOWEVER make no mistake about it, that era was NOT the worst for hip-hop. Its actually the second best era to me behind the Golden 90's era. That underground/indie period created so much dope and slept on hip-hop with artists like....
- All Natural + Family Tree
- Binary Star
- Vakil
- Molemen
- Mr. Complex
- J.U.I.C.E.
- Five Deez
- Lone Catalysts
- Scienz Of Life
- Mass Influence
- The Arsonists
- Jigmatas
- Black Attack
- Basement Khemists
- Old World Disorder
- 427
- Self-Scientific
- Micronauts
- Laster
- C-Rayz Walz
- Oktober
- Sub-Con
- Mike Zoot

I could go on and on and on and on literally.... but you get the idea. Alot this shyt age gracefully and some sounds dated but still bangs. If I get some serious free time I'm going to make a dedicated, on-going thread about the best music to come from this creative period of hip-hop.

I listened to everyone on this list and still do.

me too

This album knocks. Joe Beats ain't to be fukked with. Dude is legit.

Hope is definitely a personal classic album. I dont bump any Sage anymore and really havent heard dude in ages but Personal Journals and Hope are great to me.

Never heard of any of those dudes, besides Rocky.


Unless that's an Aesop Rock


Why you listening to all these white boys anyway?

Have you seen this thread yet?

In regards to Jedi Mind Tricks, Stoupe has always been the star of that group. Vinnie Spaz has always been garbage, though if you listen to him solely for comic relief it's pretty good entertainment.

 

[Nature's Fury]

shyt was a mixed bag...i fukked with a few El-P joints and still fukk with Aesop every now and then...his last album was pretty good...
