The ANTICON posse's rhyme-testing, extremely abstract title cut, originally heard on the giga-single, gets more than just a remix; it gets a wrecking ball. As soon as you think you get it, they've moved on to the next thing. By the time it's all over, you realize that you're going to have to play it back. "More From June," the lost DEEP PUDDLE DYNAMICS song, is on the flip, with Anticon MCs DOSE ONE, SOLE, and ALIAS along with SLUG and EYDEA of Rhymesayers, over the music of TORTOISE's JOHN HERNDON. CD includes the bonus track "Pitty Party People." "Miles removed from the oft-acclaimed hip-hop underground..., a distinctly different hip-hop underground has been brewing, its spiritual center based around … Anticon, a label / crew who titled their very first compilation Music For The Advancement Of Hip-Hop [reissued on CD by Massmen. "We Ain't Fessin' (Double Quotes)" was first heard on] The Anticon Giga Single, a showcase of their off-the-wall production and lyrical stylings with showstopping turns from head-scratcher sound-assemblers...."  -gravitygirl.shafted.com.au 'With more than a dozen MCs, producers and a DJ or two (Doseone, jel, Sixtoo, Buck 65, Mayonnaise, Why?, alias, Sage Francis)..., Anticon ...boasts that more than a dozen ...contributing artists [many of whom] will have full-lengths out [in] 2002. Ranging from the mellow, soul-searching posse manifesto "We Ain't Fessin" to Buck 65's Dr. Octagon-ish "Pen Thief" and Controller 7's excellent instrumental workout..., Anticon's strength is its range, with a thread of intelligence, humility and imagination running at all times. "What we're doing now is relevant to the average human being, who doesn't go around serving MCs or smacking woman," says Sole.  -Brian Coleman, dirtyloop.com   "I don't buy that "it's too weird" shit anymore; there is nothing weird about what we're doing, it's all been done before in other forms of music. So what if we rap? I don't have the patience to write a book. You, and the whole of Anticon, seem to get grouped as just a bunch of kids using big words for the sake of it....Do you think that as an audience we've gotten complacent and unwilling to embrace anything other than a "battle rap"? Yeah, and I hate that shit. That's what the "We Ain't Fessin'" single is about - it's all rap-versey and straightforward. They wish that we're not talking about anything and it's just a bunch of big words. Sucker MC's out today can still look good talking nonsense if that's the case. When you have to rhyme every other word to make a song work you're eventually sacrificing content. I think hip hop is the best medium for expressing emotion, but so few people "mean it" that it doesn't go there."  -sole interviewed in rebirthmag.com
