Some may be slightly later than 2000, but for me these all fit in with that period when underground hip hop existed. Big cosign on East Flatbush Project, Operation Doomsday, Bush Babees, Big L (The Enemy!!!), Radiohead, 21 years, blackstar beats and Natural Elements...
This was a great album. Likewise the Siah & Yeshua/All Natural albums upthread. Anyone remember the book that came with the OG pressings of that? There was a great short story about the death of Tupac in there. I saw All Natural in London not long after it came out and asked Capital D if he'd thought about making it into a movie, and he said they were looking at turning it into a play. Any Chi-Town types know if that ever happened?

I'm actually listening to that Ill Brothers joint that Flex was generous enough to shoot my direction as we speak.
1st Grassroots 12"
1st Pitch Black 12"
Very good call on both "Magic Chef" and "Verbal Attack" (prob. my all time fav late 90's indie jawn)
That beat is a motherfucker though.
Perhaps you simply cannot identify with the lifestyle depicted in it.
What about Royal Flush, "Worldwide"--I think that's technically indie.
the beyond real experience
Da Grassroots feat. G-Knight - 'Drama'. Classic record, and imho, one of the best records to come out of Toronto.
Huge co-sign on Lord Sear. I still pull that record out on the reg.
Please be serious. This is what I am talking about.
I doubt even noted Kool Keith apologist BATMON will stand up for this Keith knockoff.
i liked that lp a lot. but i haven't listened to it in about eight years sooo...
Weren't you a fledgling IDM producer eight years ago, though?
... it has been tooken there.
Yes. In Noz's defense, I think his IDM celebrity came at a confusing point in his life when he was--how do you say?--about twelve years old.
UR trippin'.
"I'll sign my name in the book at your funeral" = genius.
I wouldn't call it IDM.
I love that album.
Man, I agree. I put this on now and wonder why the hell I bought it in the first place.
