It's just that back then, backpackers were the ones really dominating the forums and ANYTHING that was outside of the norm was championed as being so much smarter and better.

Same with Anticon.

Same wtih most of Def Jux. ESPECIALLY Cannibal Ox. I TRIED to like that shit. Cats STAYED raving up and down about how great the album was, but, I just couldn't get with the industrial beats.

Wonder where all those fans are today...

Kinda like how, back in the 90s how EVERYONE was a Bulls fan, and not because they like Jordan. THEY'D ALWAYS BEEN Bulls fans...

Can't find but a few nowadays.
