don't know enough about them to form a valid opinion or contribute anything relevant to this debate, this however is quite dope.
I thought that too until seeing Davinci from Sol.illaquist of Sound. I can't get on YouTube or google.video from here or I'd supply a link. Do a search for him and prepare to be amazed.
heres my take on it
i gave this stuff a chance, my friends' cousin was one of the dudes who made beats for them (i dont remember which dude it is) but he gave me one or two of his beat-tapes back when i was 12, and it really kinda put me to the point where i HAD to start making beats. a lot of the stuff was really boring and monotonous and not my style, but the stuff that was good, was great, and exactly the kind of sound i would have looked for. i listened to the first tape over and over because i really liked it , and he said the dude used a dr. sample, which was what i had, so i could totally relate and sometimes wondered how he was able to layer more than 4 sounds (he used a 4-track.)
anyway, once i started hearing the vocal stuff, which mostly used the stuff i DIDNT like off the beat tapes, if anything, i lost interest. i mean, its some of the boringest shit ive ever heard. seriously. if i met these dudes i doubt id have a problem, and im all for "the advancement of hip-hop" but jesus, dont advance it by making it monotonous and boring, make it MORE exciting, because thats what hip-hop is about, from my standpoint. its exciting music.

YOu're kidding right? Davinci is the homeboy, but he's all theatrics. Jel plays drum patterns that melt your face, Davinci melts his mpc with his face. Dude is simply triggering a single phrase repeatedly. THat is, unless he has changed his format since I last saw him.
I'll presume you're using 'ridiculous' in the pejorative sense. Not at all. MY friend's band did all the instrumentation. Tough drums. The rapping is pretty much in line with what you'd expect--although Sole says its toned down, it hits me the same as his previous stuff--but the music is, to quote myself, "ridiculous."
On a seperate note, even if you don't like what these dudes are saying as emcees, you have to understand that this crew has some of the sickest cadence out there.
What did people think of Anticon releasing that Darc Mind album?
Darc Mind LP - what Jaymack said. Hasn't aged well at all.
wack.... all he does is hit the repeat button... then hit the buttons with his feet and shit. JEL hits every sample live... no sequencing... hes Frickin' amazing. I've seen davinci like 4 times when i used to live in Orlando. He really pissed me off back then. I respect his music... and even his mpc styles... He just is no match for jel... they are in 2 totally different classes. Look at the video in page 7 of this thread.
yeah i agree davinci aint too impressive, dude puts on a crazy show hyping himself up, but just is more cool and cerebral with his effort and kills it 100 times harder...
anywho heres some of the new sole with the skyrider band
selling live water still is my favorite sole album, tokyo and plutonium kill.....

Jel was impresive...I've never checked for Anticon seemed like some weirdo nerd shit....
This must be what your talking bout:
In a little jacket:
, I can see you making a case for Dose maybe (although I disagree), but e.g. pedestrian is probably the most unmusical rapper I've ever heard and the last time I heard, Sole was yelling and ranting - not what I consider "cadence." You'd have a better case defending their lyrics, however pretentious they may be. And don't think I'm unfamiliar with their stuff or a "hater," I own several Anticon releases, even some rare CD-R stuff (though I haven't actually bought more than a couple things).

Not trying to be abrasive, but, do you rap? THese guys are incredibly innovative when it comes to cadence. What always gripped me was the fact that I invariably have a tough time keeping up with them. Check Pedestrian's cadence on Generation of Deadbeats, and Attack of the Postmodern Pat Boones. Check Sole's cadence on Center City, and Run Rabbit (for starters). If you don't think that these are prime examples of cadence then I will gladly continue this discussion.
IT's all love, no hat.
Are you joking? Granted, I only listened to that first one posted..but Jesus. That is exactly what I pictured all of that sounding like. No offense..but...

I don't have a donload protocol, nor do i have mp3s of any of the stuff I used to have on wax, but if you get the chance check out the Them track John Brown's Vaporizer. I'd say that's one of the more accesible things, and the beat is sick.
