ANTI AGENT ASSOCIATION & ANONYMOUS PRESS RELEASE
January 14, 2012

Underground Hip-Hop Fans/Supporters and Emcees,

Since the official press release on the 10th of January 2012 we have seen different people speculating who the  Anti Agent Association and Anonymous activist are. Rumors have been going around that the emcee 'Sick Since' is guilty of spreading false information, under the name 'Oobe' and creating the Anti Agent Association so he could act like he would solve everything, for marketing purposes. We like to discredit this rumor on every front and explain Sick Since his role in this operation.

In april 2011, Sick Since indeed created the Anti Agent Association in order to get the Hip-Hop elite on one page. In order to work together as one front so the quality of the music and the content of the lyrics would increase. He also wanted to do this to create an open debate between the emcees who where in the Anti  Agent Association. About so called truth seeking and of course a political debate that could might bring Hip-Hop on one line. It's last objective was to get rid of the so called 'Dis-Info' agents, which is now our primary objective.

Around late September/Early October Sick Since got in touch with several activists from Anonymous. Who then took over his plan and group, bring it back to life and make it public for the people. Sick Since left the Anti Agent Association as a member and broke all ties with us. All he is now is a supporter just like our other 107 ones at the moment.

We have also shut down our recruitment program due to some difficulties within our core group of members. Apparently a new members executed a DDoS attack on a couple of our most important members, causing the loss of valuable information that we are currently restoring. Therefor the safety of our members and our cause is priority number one. We do not want to risk this with new members that apparently cannot be trusted.

Also, people seem to have forgotten the statement we have made in our first blog article. That we also want to function as a building force within Hip-Hop. We want to promote, help and support underground independent artists who make true Hip-Hop possible in this day and age. We are not out to destroy or cause confusion. We are just concerned fans, supporters and emcees, like you. Who got sick of this and decided to stand up and say something. All this false information and beef of the last couple of years should end now. If you are with us, show your support!

Thank you for everybody who is still supporting us and who brought us over a 100 supporters (108 as of now to be exact).

What has happened to Hip-Hop?

What has happened people? In the last 12 years, from 2000 until now. We have seen the quality of Hip-Hop go down with the years. What once started as just another form of music in the 1970's had really taken shape in the 1980's and the 1990's. It was more than just music, it was a culture, a lifestyle. Something you could look upon and actually get a sense of pride. But look at the scene of people who call themselves true to the Hip-Hop music and movement. What has happened to their idealism and to their willpower to make a change. Why are we all just hammering on each other. We all want to be better than another. Sales is what seems to matter to most emcees. The more you sale, the cooler you are, also in the underground. The underground can be considered as rotten as well, of course excluding a few emcees.

Hip-Hop was once this in the late 80's, early 90's:

KRS-One - Sound of da Police

Jedi Mind Tricks - I Who Have Nothing

Big L - Put it On

Big Pun - Capital Punishment

Lords of the Underground - Chief Rocka

But what has it become? Every reader of this agrees with us that the mainstream Hip-Hop is not what is was. The mainstream is not relevant to any one of us capable of independent thinking. Hip-Hop has been hijacked by the corporations, for the corporations. It's only goal is to brainwash it's listeners who then, buy the album of the corporate puppet on Itunes. They want to kill your soul and creativity so you will become a money hungry slave. It is a cycle, you listen to an artist who constantly points out his succes and his capitalist behavior and they expect you to start looking up to him or her. So that you start to transform your lifestyle into the one being propagated in the music and video. You start to spend and consume as a lifestyle and feed the machine. Who in their turn make music and movies again that refer to your new lifestyle of consuming.

This is what happened to Hip-Hop, compare this to the videos above!:

Lil Wayne - Lollipop ft. Static

Drake - Headlines

Kreayshawn - Gucci Gucci

Gucci Mane - Everybody Looking

But do not get it mixed up, there is still good hiphop out there, being made every single day. The last hope for Hiphop out there was the underground. The Underground artists really propagate themselves in their music that they do not care about money, status or sales. But all about their message.
Yet, in the last few years we've seen underground hiphop go down the drain. It is a very small community that relies on it's support from the Internet, from independent minds worldwide. And the artists in this small community have accomplished to always, ALWAYS have internal beefs.
We understand that Beef is a part of Hip-Hop, but it seems to be the only part of underground Hip-Hop today, most of it happening on the internet. By people who talk a lot lets call it crap. Somehow human greed and the lust for material and status has taken over the underground. No names will be mentioned but the supporters of the Anti Agent Association do know who we are talking about. (If not, check our Facebook page)

It is a prison type of mentality that is dividing true underground hiphop into two different camps The kind of hiphop that is there to unite and to spread knowledge about a wide variety of subjects. And there is the type of hiphop that once started as a form of resistance against the industry but has become one big cercle jerk of egoist minds and souls and has experienced the same declination as mainstream hip-hop has.

We must come to realize that trying to get and maintain a monopoly position for yourself in the underground is the most hypocritical thing an emcee or an group of people can do. And especially if they do not get this position by music. But by beef. Lets put the beef aside, unite and fight as a group against the problems in the world and in the music.  United as One, Divided By Zero!

AAA & Anonymous January 10th 2012 Press Release

ANTI AGENT ASSOCIATION & ANONYMOUS PRESS RELEASE
January 10, 2012.

UNDERGROUND HIP-HOP FANS/SUPPORTERS AND EMCEES,
The current state of our music community is to be ashamed of. Once we were the top of the bill when it came to hip-hop. Once we represented hip-hop for what it really was, it was more than just music, it was a movement, a lifestyle and even a form of education.

But today it seems to us, the concerned fans and supporters that hip-hop and the art of rap is a form of egotripping and dividing the people in different camps. This is caused by the ignorant and self centered behavior of emcees and the fans. Hip-Hop should unite, not devide. We must not forget that we form a culture of resistance together. A resistance against the ruling class who have been trying to keep us silent for years. A resistance against the big corporations who try to manipulate our beloved music into something profitable for people who are already too rich. A resistance against racism, greed, imperialism and violence.

We as a legion of Hip-Hop heads should put our internal beefs aside. Who ever is behind the false press releases, creating beefs and tensions should stop or be stopped if necessary. Because we are forgetting that there is a bigger picture to be focussed on. Don't forget the struggle of the poor and needy, the struggle of the kid who was born in the wrong place and has no hope for the future. We must not forget the roots of our culture and the power we possess as a whole. As a legion we have strenght in numbers, not strenght in ego's.

The Anti Agent Association should have never seen the light of day but unfortunately in our eyes this is the only way to our message out. We also like to thank the activists of Anonymous for their support and help. And we will continuie to operate under their banner. We also want to take this oppertunity to remind everyone who will read this that we are in no way or shape a hostile movement. We are the people and we operate for the people.

We want to thank everybody who has shown their support to our cause and remember that your supporrt is essential to realize a positive change within our community.

Who we are, what we do and what we want to achieve.

Originally written on 11th of December 2011.

Who are we?

The Anti Agent Association, better known as "The AAA" has been brought to life on the 25th of April 2011, with the initial goal to (re-)unite the Hip Hop elite in the so-called Underground to achieve artistic excellence and exposure on a larger scale. It was within a week that the AAA was almost 80 members strong, among the members were some prominent names in the underground Hip Hop music.

The first thing on the agenda was to fight the Disinfo-Agents who were behind the fake press releases that got released over the years about these Hip Hop artists. Some of these fake press releases have even caused a beef between Canibus and DJ Premier. 

Unfortunately within the group of 80 members that we all thought we could trust were traitors. There were actual Agents in this group of members and people who supported these agents to promote false information. This has caused the AAA to stop for a while. It needed an internal cleaning. Now we are left with a small but very dedicated collective of individuals who will do everything to stop these agents from hurting any more artists with false promotion.

What do we do?

We find out who these agents really are. Not who they claim to be on the internet. In our team we got people skilled in different crafts that are very useful for cyber warfare. Including people who have participated in events with Anonymous.

Once we gathered our intel, we confront the agent with it, once this agent does not listen or decides ignores us. We will publish our intel and spread it to as many public websites as possible. From that point, the consequences for this agent is out of our hands. It's the public who decides what to do with it.

What we want to achieve

Our first point on the agenda still is to stop these agents from hurting the underground hip hop community with their false information. Once we have accomplished this we will be a building force within the world wide Hip Hop community.
