Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
While most rappers prize money, women, and some convoluted version of "street cred" above all, Anti-Pop Consortium's Beans, Sayyid, and Priest immerse themselves entirely in the joys of language, spitting staggeringly complex monologues in a riot of free-association poetry. "I'm now worthy of the grace / My face graces Jupiter's lakes," they stutter on the excellent "Bubblz" as dislocated bongo drums gasp and stammer around them. The production is out there: "Ping-Pong" loops the snap of a bouncing Ping-Pong ball, while the digital static of "Mega" segues an opera singer's heavenly scales into the trumpet of jungle beasts. Arrythmia is occasionally a difficult prospect--you may want to scream out for a simplistic Puffy brag or a funky Neptunes hook to take a breather from this never-ending torrent of ideas. Still, it's a mind-bending success that seeks nothing less than to deconstruct and rebuild the discipline of hip-hop from the ground up. --Louis Pattison
From URB Magazine
Where so much hip-hop has fallen into a rut disguised as a groove - you know, the boom-bip, the saggy jig, the third-gen lyrical knockoff - Antipop Consortium's three MCs - Ball Beans, High Priest and M. Sayyid - throw on some waffle-tread tires and bust out the all-wheel drive, riding roughshod over all who would bury hip-hop alive. Arrhythmia, their second full-length, is marked by Earl Blaize's heady productions: deep, springy funk, born of ultrasound rayguns and stutter-punk percussion, not tired breaks and re-tread samples. Nothing is linear and nothing predictable. You've got your quavering opera singer. You've got your bucephalous bouncing ping-pong ball. You've got thick, oozing, mudslide bass and melted-circuit keyboards and Blaize's insect-beneath-the-skin paranoid soundscapes.
And don't forget their post-slam poetics, spun this way and that with crazy-straw flow. "We kill soap scum! " they cry, and they're right - their fast 'n' furious spray puts a newfound shine on a genre crusted over with complacency. Sonic fuckery alternates with bona fide songs like "Ghost Lawn," which sounds like Joy Division vs. the Tom Tom Club at the Nuyorican Poets Café. It'd be positively catchy, if it weren't so darn slippery.
This is some paradigm-shifting, sanction-lifting, player-grifting, top-shelf shit. The only misstep is "EKG," an instrumental glide through glistening tones and doe-eyed bass melodies: At only 12 bars and 30 seconds long, it proves APC to be not only brilliant producers but shameless sonic teases, doling out just enough to get you hooked - and keep you coming back for more.

An outsiders view.........2007-05-29
By 'outsider' I mean a person who isn't a typically a hip hop listener. My interests being more in things like electronica, industrial and indie I found this disc to be very enjoyable.
I'll admit that the at times abstract lyrics caught my attention, and being a fan of expermental and avant garde material in general I was happy to hear the inventive wordplay.
However what I really like about this disc is the sounds and beats of the record. Occasionally I hear a piece of music that makes my head feel like spinning, and this was one of them(and I mean that in the best way). This isn't normal sounding hip hop, but i'm guessing most people reading this already have that idea. All the blips and beeps, and crazy beats keep you on your toes.
I'm very sad that this group has broken up, finally a hip hop group I would of really have liked to have seen.
An apex for experimental hip-hop.......2005-11-07
2002 was a great year for lots of adventurous sounds in hip-hop, and this is one of few cds from that year that I still can't seem to hear enough of. Unlike many of the "experimental hip hop" acts, APC didn't seem to give up on the key things that I like about rap music - the clever rhymes delivered by people who know how to rap, and the sense of flow within a song. These tracks are at the same time fun, stimulating and minimal. The production is mostly synthesizer-based, which is unusual at a time when many other acts are taking the sample-heavy route. Here it's a refreshing change. You can tell lots of time was taken to make the little moments happen, whether it's a quick blast of digital distortion on the vocals, or sound effect or electronic squiggle to fit in perfectly with the lyrics at a particular point. I often use this cd to get people into 20th century electronic music (Xenakis, etc) & avant-garde to open their ears to hip-hop. It's a shame that APC split up right after bringing the quality of their work to this high point.
TRASH!!!!!!!!!!!.......2005-11-03
Beats?
Terrible.
Rhymes?
Ultra Horrible.
Album?
Useless
Don't buy this. I sold it back. Just from the internet exposure, and what I heard, I thought it to be groundbreaking; no it was earshattering IN THE WORST WAY!!!!!!!! Every song sucks. It's useless.
Peace!!!!!!!!!!
P.S. Amazon would not let me rate it 0 stars.
Experimentation from the roots of hip-hop.......2005-09-26
The Anti-Pop Consortium returns to the scene with their first full-length release for Warp Records - "Arrhythmia". This is my first exposure to the three emcees/producers (Ball Beans, High Priest and M. Sayyid) that make up this grade A brand of experimental hip-hop. I would like to point out that this is nothing like the experimentation of the Anticon collective. It works much better in the sense that they hold stronger to their hip-hop roots. The music rarely feels intimidating, and they don't try to outsmart their underground/mainstream counterparts (even though they do at times). It's a brilliant fusion between hip-hop and electronica. And although some of the beats are complex, much of the mix is quite minimal. There are rarely more than three elements being mixed at once, which makes it much easier to concentrate on the relentlessly seeping lyrical flows. The balance feels flawless, since the beats and loops brought forth sound very inventive, well-crafted, and on point.
The notable highlights would include the well-cut simplicity of "Ping Pong", "Dead in Motion", "Ghostlawns", the tweaked out notes on "We Kill Soap Scum", and the intoxicating reverb and sick battle rhymes of my personal favorite track "Z St.".
Although the Antipop Consortium will throw hip-hop heads a curve ball, it is nothing that a true fan of hip-hop wouldn't enjoy. It gorgeously represents an inventive minimal approach of familiar elements, which showcases their impressive and unique rhyme styles brilliantly. Definitely a keeper.

I Walked alone.......2000-10-18
I just wanted you all to know you have thumbs up here,Great CD.Keep up the good work.
Exceptional CD.......2000-04-19
This CD delivers. If you don't know this band: mix equal parts Sons of Champlin, Tower of Power, Otis Redding, Sly & the Family Stone, and their own "special sauce". Great writing, great playing, great sound. You won't be disappointed!

Anti Pop Consortium Strikes back!.......2002-04-22
After the revolutionary Tragic Epilog released in 2000 and the discreet japanese-only second album, Anti Pop's third full-length is exactly what fans were expecting from. Just as innovative, cutting edge and - still - true hip hop. Beans confirms that he's one of the best MC on earth, Priest being probably the most original. M. Sayyid completes perfectly the trio with its sarcastic rhymes. As the cover of their first records say : Our past is your future. I totally agree with that.
