Slept on Albums...

[WesSezSo]

Over the years I bought what I could afford and what was familiar to me...for example...I've always liked Anticon and Def Jux (though not limited to)...so when I had the money, and if I wasn't sure about other releases that were recommended to me I would always find some kind of security in sticking with things I knew. Doesn't make me close minded but...I have to say there are so many things that I didn't pick up because I didn't do research on them, listen to snippets or take advice...but two albums I have just discovered that I am now crazy about...

How did you get into Anticon in the first place?

Before I even clicked on this link my first thought was to post the Outerlimitz album. That shit is hardcore...dope album. I recommend everyone pick it up. (The Sach album is dope too.. I bought it when it first dropped, listened to it a little. Then came back to it and was bumping it for months straight... I had the cd in my car stereo and someone broke the window and stole my stereo.. then my ipod died. oh well. good album though!)

I just picked up the new Hellsent yesterday and haven't gotten a full listen yet... But, Silence is an evil genius on beats.

new hellsents not bad...the beats are definitely on point. also on galapogos that limited edition Qwel and Mike Gao was pretty good...and from everything Ive heard on Qwel and Meaty Ogre's Freezerburner...I know its one I'm gonna pick up.

also on albums I slept on...

I don't know how well known it is with the rest of you but I'm really diggin' this one.

How did you get into Anticon in the first place?

In 1999 I finished highschool...my ass was working way out in the country at a ritzy old fashioned yacht club...for 3 months that summer I was out of the loop, in hip hop and movies, two things I love the most...all the way till that Fall when I moved back home...I had a lot of money saved and ordered just about everything I missed, I must've placed orders on sites like once a week all the way till Christmas...of all the tapes cd's and vinyls I was ordering...Anticon stuff started rolling in and there was some stuff that stuck with me and really hit with me immediately, I've been a fanticon ever since...at the time my tastes were more geared towards instrumental hip hop, turntablism, and west coast underground...but there were a lot of other great groups and artists back then 99-2001 that suddenly started to change the face of hip hop (underground atleast)...and for me those were some of the better years. The creation of Def Jux was big...Living Legends were finally getting big enough to replace all those back catalog tapes and put em on cd ( that may seem minor to some folks but I was stoked)...I liked the direction that the underground was headed...things started changing. I know a lot of people who hate Anticon and love Def Jux just because of that old Sole and El-P beef...but anyway saying those were labels that I always stuck with was just an example...i have a huge collection:D But I've also lost a lot of irreplaceable stuff too:( I hate talking about things that I used to have...oh well, It'll get replaced some day I guess...for now...the hunt continues.
