Loaf Eye: Avtntcourt

Over the course of the last two years I really have become a big hip-hop head. Just searching for whatever tickles my insides until they burst out laughing. A few months ago my friend hipped me to lightning fast rapper Busdriver (more commonly known to his mom as Regan John Farquhar). His album Temporary Forever seemed to be in the same fire of Deltron 3030 and Aesop Rock, my two favorites for a long time. His lyrics and his flow will poly rhythm your brain until it screams for another listen. They are calling music like Busdriver is what is commonly refered to has Avantcore. There are two types of music that are categorized and both make sense in their own context. There is avantcore that is a mixture of avant garde metal with hardcore. The avantcore I am talking about his is avant garde hardcore hiphop. Other people in this genre would be Busdriver (who has worked with electronic sample god Daedelus with the next rapper), Radioinactive, Haiku D'Etat (Aceyalone, Myka 9 & Abstract Rude, who all have their own great solo projects), Nocando, 13 & God (Doseone and German indie band The Notwist), Themselves, Doseone (who is also in 13 & God and Themselves), and Why? (more indie but similar fire). All these people care about their beats and their words. They will not be compromised by what people say. They are making the exact music they want to make. The name of genre could possibly be traced back to the Busdriver track "Avantcore" off of his album "Fear Of A Black Tangent", track 5.
