Notes
When discussing the Bay Area hip hop collective Anticon, it's easy to find
yourself buried underneath a mess of race issues. The guys in the Anticon
collective are white, and they had the nerve to call a compilation of
theirs Music For The Advancement Of Hip Hop. The blessing and curse of a
title like that it will cause some people to take you really, really
seriously, and if those people are also mostly white, well...
For that reason, there a lot of people that love Anticon and think they've
revolutionized hip hop; there are at least as many who think their music is
art-school trash, not 'real' hip-hop. The irony of all this is that on
record, Anticon are generally less prone to self-aggrandizement than most
MCs. Whatever the case, though, lots of people who talk about Anticon don't
exactly do so with an open mind.
Does their Music Advance Hip Hop? Sure, I guess, but thousands of artists
have helped hip hop evolve. For a collective that makes hip hop that a
relatively large number of people hear, "Music For The Advancement Of Hip
Hop" isn't even a terribly bold claim, unless that collective is artsy and
white. Is Anticon revolutionary? Are its members the best thing ever to
happen to hip hop? No way on both counts, but Anticon is deserving of
praise, even if it's not the over-the-top adulation it often gets from the
converted.
Anticon's chief contributions to the Advancement Of Hip Hop are threefold:
the nasal qualities of their voices, their approach to rhythm and the
self-examining and surreal contents of their rhymes. If MCing typically
resembles real-life speech, Anticon MCing typically resembles an alarm
clock - it's mechanistic beeping in which forcefulness and consistency
trample inflection. This approach often frees MCs like Doseone to sing
their lines in pitch. It's still rapping because they don't sing
melodically, really; they spit out a million syllables in the same pitch
above one chord, then change pitches when the chord changes and spit a
million syllables again. It can be very catchy, even though it's
(presumably) far removed from the way they talk.
About those million syllables: the way they're arranged in space has very
little to do with most hip hop. The usual Anticon approach to rhythm does
have a precedent in (weirdly enough) Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, but it also has
a lot more in common with drum and bass than with most of today's hip hop.
Anticon MCs like Alias and Passage often go quadruple-time nuts in
irregular patterns over slow, steady beats, much like the snare drum sounds
in drum-n-bass do.
Anticon's lyrical approach has been described as "shrink rap," and they're
often every bit as self-reflective as that name implies. But theirs isn't
the repetitive, clueless self-reflection of high school poetry. Rather,
Anticon MCs deal in dreamlike and semi-intelligible ruminations on aging,
sex, nostalgia and their relationships to their surroundings. They're not
above jokes, but they usually don't attack others, focusing instead on
surreal situations and weird puns.
These qualities are all present in abundance on the Anticon Label Sampler,
a budget-priced collection of tracks by all the Anticon members, as well as
friends like Controller 7, Sage Francis and Hrvatski. The album gets
weirder and bolder as it goes along, reaching its peak with Why?'s "Darla,"
which sounds like the best indie-pop song the Elephant 6 collective never
made, and Sole's excellent political rant "Dumb This Down."
Anticon's Odd Nosdam mixed the 33 (!) tracks here to sound continuous. His
decision to include so many tracks was overambitious, and he's forced to
chop some into tantalizing snippets. His mixing isn't anything special, so
Anticon would have been better off including fewer tracks and presenting
them in completed form. Other than that, the Label Sampler is a fine
introduction to Anticon.
