Anticon-Your Thoughts

Used to love this lot but have been feeling lately that either I've changed or they have. Love Why? But there hasn't been any new music from them since '09. Really liked that Themselves mix tape from the same year, but the official album that followed was a letdown. Last years 13 & God record was meh. Now there's a new Doseone solo record and I'm not feeling it at all.

Seriously, five years ago I thought this collective was making some of the most interesting music on the planet, but now it already feels a bit stale. Anyone wanna rep for some newish Anticon stuff?

I've had a strong urge to listen to that Clouddead comp lately...

been loving Subtle today, so started digging around for my other Anticon related stuff.

think a lot of the Anticon stuff i have has not aged too badly at all, eg Non Prophets, Buck 65, Themselves remix album, Subtle all still sound good to me.

but, how is it i had no idea re Alias, that news totally passed me by.

yeah that was sad

I'm acquaintances with some people who were involved in this label, but not enough to get into details, but I've heard asides about how Anticon was 'ruined' but don't know what they're referring to. Was there an ownership change that fucked something up? Are they even still active?

the website seems to imply that nothing has happened since the death of Alias.
even at the time i did wonder re the whole thing re Lex taking over so much of the Anticon crew.
but i would like to think that the Lex vs Anticon thing was done for the benefit of all.
