Check out anything on Mush or Big Dada. Big Dada's last comp 'Black Whole Styles' is a great intro into the more unusual hiphop. Some of their other releases like Ty's latest album are more straight chilled grooves with more blathering about ego's thrown overtop (it's still a top piece in my mind considering every MC must get pay dues to themselves).
While on Mush; Aesop Rock's last album 'Float' stole my mind as strangest hiphop album of the year. The other stuff on Mush ranges from straight poetics to spoken word drama's, with all sorts of strange noises in midst. As someone else already mentioned find anything by Saul Williams, he is the man and will be for a long time coming. todd ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jonny McIntosh" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "*** ASKEW" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, February 07, 2001 7:45 AM Subject: Re: [313] experimental hip hop? > > Exact definitions aside, check out the following hip hop > > artists/releases: > > I'd have to add the Anti Pop Consortium LP (name of which I can't remember) > but it IS as good as they say.
