of course, most people dont see it, because it usually involves the removal of an anticon related thread or the lack of an anticon mention when appropriate.

or, like in this case, a mention of anticon when perhaps it's not appropriate.

Nobody wants to be a "backpacker" anymore.
Nobody wants to admit they ever bought a record in the Nerd Rap genre.
Nobody wants to admit to and embrace their former emo.
Nobody wants to have predominantly white fans anymore.

2009 = The year of denial and heads-in-the-sand.

Remember, fellas: Once a nerd - ALWAYS A NERD.

2009?

Its been like this for years.
And actually, most of the rappers of that era/genre are returning to, or kept moving towards (Eyedea comes to mind) more "emo" rap....

Employee, you obviously missed the memo re: The Great Ackbarian Reversion of 2009. We completed the cycle a month or so ago.

Sell your Escalade and buy a skinny fixed-gear bike posthaste.

That it is white as fuck. Painfully so even.

I've been known to not really like sole...but fuck it, Anticon does their thing for the type of music that they do. It's not my taste. I never really saw sage as an anticon hater though? I just thought Sage kept doing what he always did and anticon stepped further into what they were doing. Sage was always the odd guy out on anticon in my opinion.

But if the past is any indecation, if Sage see's what odd nosdam wrote, It won't go unanswered.

I am an unashamed Anticon fan. I wear clothes that fit properly.

They're putting out a Serengeti record so they're fine in my book.

So does this mean the Sage Francis vs Crood beef has been settled and Sage has joined him in the anti-backpack movement? I want confirmation from Crood himself.

anticon usually had some cool beats but the "rhyming" was almost without exception painful to listen to.

anticon's producers are very talented. As far as the rappers go, i liked a few dose and sole songs...other than that, meh.

I've been know to enjoy the occasional anticon album, I don't know if I consider them to be "rap" when I listen to them though. That might be the stumbling block for many.

i'd have to agree, this is truly a historical singularity, possibly ominous like passing of a comet. seems like a good time to play the lottery and fuck that chick you think might have dirt in her dirt dirt

An office room in the LA County FBI field office.

FBI Agent: Tweak, it's critical to this operation that you cut off all connections to your former Piru associates.

Tweak: What about Bompton though? Will I be able to go back to Bompton - ya know, to see my old playground. Maybe ride the see-saw. Go down the slide.

FBI Agent: That's out of the question, Tweak. Bompton no longer exists, as far as your concerned.

Tweak: Aiight, but what if a playa wanna cruise down to fruit town?

FBI Agent: I think there's a Food Town in Barstow. They've got a Whole Foods on I-15...there's a...

Tweak: ...nah, nigga. FRUIT TOWN. I might wanna go take a trip down to FRUIT TOWN, ya feel me?

FBI Agent: Look, Tweak, I'm not really interested in your lifestyle or your sexual orientation. What you do in your spare time is none of my business. My business is to make sure you keep a low profile. You're invaluable to our operation, Tweak. Without you we have no shot of infiltrating the Piru gang.

Tweak: No doubt.

FBI Agent: One last thing and this is important. The place where you'll be relocating is a very quiet suburban neighborhood. You need to try to blend in as best you can. I can't have you drivin' a lowrider through the development blasting Dr. Dre at 120 dB. So you need to be very discreet when you're out about town. You can't draw any attention to yourself.

Tweak: So I can't bump some Messy Marv on my way to the post office?

FBI Agent: I don't think that's a good idea, Tweak.

Tweak: No Yukmouth?

FBI Agent: No. For christ sakes, Tweak. This isn't a game. We cannot afford to jeopardize you're safety and the success of this operation.

Tweak: Okay. What about...Deep Puddle Dynamics?

FBI Agent: Huh?

Tweak: DPD, son.

FBI Agent: (stunned) You listen to Deep Puddle Dynamics? That overrated nerd rap supergroup?

Tweak: Yeah, nigga.

FBI Agent: (still stunned) Wow. I can't believe you...um...wow...um...anyway, Deep Puddle Dynamics is okay. Actually, that might be a good cover. No one would expect a former 'Ru to be listening to that kind of candy-ass pretentious bullshit. So Deep Puddle Dynamics is fine.

Tweak: Word, son.
