| | Alternative hip hop - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Positive lyrics are often a hallmark of alternative hip hop, which detract from the materialistic and sexually fueled lyrics of mainstream hip hop. | | | Alternative hip hop or Underground rap is a style of hip hop music distinguished by artists who either chose or are simply not able to break into the commercial hip hop scene. | | | The album was particularly successful with non-hip hop fans, listeners who were turned off by the macho posturing of many other groups, and who wanted a safer alternative. |

| | Las Vegas Weekly: Noise |
| | Alternative hip-hop began in the late-'80s as an answer to the rap music of bands like Public Enemy and N.W.A. More musically and lyrically diverse, groups such as De La Soul, A Tribe Called Quest and Pharcyde incorporated jazz, pop, reggae and other influences into rap's already stale mix of funk and soul. | | | Alternative hip-hop also broadened rap's listening demographic, attracting fans of the then-growing world of alternative rock, a trend that continues to this day. | | | Performing with live musicians instead of relying on a DJ or playback machine is a growing trend within alternative hip-hop. |

| | Fuck Hip Hop. MetaFilter |
| | Hip hop is a broad church - don't write it off because it lacks melody, is a "black thing", or "just isn't music", as all of these things are blatantly untrue. | | | Hip hop was created through a deep love and appreciation of music, in all its forms. | | | As a total music geek (who knows jack all about hip hop), I gotta say that the talent these people have for crafting songs entirely out of records is astounding, easily requiring more "understanding" of music than what normally passes for music these days. |

| | Goldie grew up listening to a variety of musical styles; however hip hop was the music that he was most drawn to. | | | In early 2002, DARK THEORY members TARON BENSON and VOODO FE' MATHELIER developed an alternative hip hop project called PHOENIX AND THE SHADOW that uses the aggressive drum patterns of Drum&Bass and the Caribbean undertones of Reggae to create what they describe as the "TRIPPY STAR" sound. |

| | Aiming for an alternative hip-hop - The Boston Globe |
| | Berklee College of Music, in an effort to influence the direction of rap, is joining Essence magazine's Take Back the Music campaign, meant in part to encourage young artists who offer alternatives to the violent and sex-laden lyrics found in some popular hip-hop music. | | | Bill Banfield, a Berklee College of Music professor, is seeking to better balance the messages of hip-hop. | | | The school says the movement fits with its goal of bolstering the hip-hop curriculum, which already includes classes on using turntables and, starting this semester, will feature a class that, in part, teaches students to think critically about the social impact of black music. |
