In hip-hop, what’s considered “alternative” is often dependent on geography and era. Back in the early ‘90s, as the rap airwaves were taken over by smooth ladies' men in stylish suits (with the glossy production to match), East Coast crews like De La Soul and Digable Planets were distinguished by both the lack of gold jewelry around their necks and a sonically dense sound that incorporated breezy horns and reverberating basslines plucked straight from the instrument itself. Meanwhile, on the West Coast, groups like The Pharcyde and Souls of Mischief provided a cerebral counterpoint to party-pumping gangsta rap, by rhyming about emotional complexities and social anxieties over jazz and funk samples. But alternative rap is also a forum for artists to experiment with persona: Del Tha Funkee Homosapien adopted the sci-fi alter ego Deltron 3030, while Madvillain’s MF DOOM became one of rap’s most revered MCs by posing as a comic-book anti-hero.
