Alternative hip hop - Post-2000 alternative hip hop
After the turn of the millennium, as the United States (still by far the world capital of hip hop) found itself confronted by the War on Terror, lyrics grew increasingly anti-mainstream, with some advocating radical actions on the behalf of various anarchist and socialist ideas. The cover for the album Party Music (2001) by the openly marxist band, The Coup proved controversial after the September 11, 2001 attacks due to its depiction of the duo holding a stick of dynamite and a detonator, ready to blow up the World Trade Center (though the band itself had been well known in alternative hip hop circles since the early 1990s); other groups like Dead Prez (Let's Get Free, 2000), Mr. Lif with his EP ("Emergency Rations"), and Emcee Lynx (The Black Dog EP, 2003, and The UnAmerican LP, 2004) similarly raised controversy with militant and confrontational lyrics.
In 2001 and 2002, several popular albums were released. These included:
- AWOL One & Daddy Kev - Souldoubt
- Blackalicious - Blazing Arrow
- Busdriver - Temporary Forever
- Common - Electric Circus.
- The Coup - Steal This Double Album
- Daddy Kev - Lost Angels EP
- Hi-Tek - Hi-Teknology
- Jurassic 5 - Power in Numbers
- The Roots - Phrenology
- Talib Kweli - Quality
- Aesop Rock - Labor Days
Though most of these bands could be considered "political hip hop" for their lyrical focus, the early 2000s also saw futuristic or apocalyptic rappers like Cannibal Ox, El-P, Del Tha Funkee Homosapien and Aesop Rock.
In the new millennium a new "sub-genre" arose from the West Coast, masterminded by underground rap mogul/producer Daddy Kev (famed for his work with the Freestyle Fellowship). With artists like Busdriver, AWOL One, The Shape Shifters, cLOUDDEAD, and Themselves, the music became known as avant-hop, prog-hop or indie-hop. These MCs and DJs blend their rhymes and beats with an electronica, post-rock or indie crossover. Additionally, Trip Hop artists such as the Bay Area's Zion I continue to collaborate with their forebears to keep hip hop conscious.
