Antipop Consortium emerged in the early 2000s as one of the underground hip-hop scene's to the highest degree inventive groups, bridging the gap 'tween New York hip-hop and glitchy IDM. Group members Priest, Beans, and M. Sayyid linked forces in 1997, along with producer E. Blaize, world Health Organization would suit the group's most renowned fellow member. After some subway system singles that didn't contact far beyond New York's boroughs, the Ark 75 label released Tragic Epilogue, the group's debut full-length, in 2000. Though the album wasn't quite an as hardiness as Antipop Consortium's serial releases, it all the same garnered solid herald, placing the grouping among similarly jittery New York subway system hip-hop artists such as Company Flow.
In fact, Tragic Epilogue's spat even crossed the Atlantic. Warp Records -- the fabled IDM label based in England best-known for cathartic artists such as Aphex Twin, Boards of Canada, and Autechre -- distinct to sign the group, quite an a remarkable move for both parties: Warp was known for IDM, non hip-hop, and Antipop Consortium was potentially distancing itself from the finical underground hip-hop scene. Regardless of the risks involved, Warp released Antipop Consortium's The Ends Against the Middle EP in late 2001, followed shortly afterward in 2002 by a full-length drive, Arrhythmia. Both releases corporate an obvious IDM influence, specially from a production viewpoint. Producer E. Blaize moved away from neat hip-hop breakbeats, sledding instead with glitchy beats and angulate rhythms. As a answer, Antipop Consortium crossed over from the stateside resistance hip-hop scene to the more international IDM scene, which was seemly increasingly interested in belt during the early 2000s. After wrap up DJ Shadow's North American hitch in late July 2002, Antipop Consortium disbanded. It was expected that High Priest, Beans, and M. Sayyid would outlet solo material by the end of the year.

Scott Storch -- Broke and a Joke
As if owing $46,000 in child support isn't bad enough, Storch is over $500,000 in the hole because of unpaid property taxes on his $10.5 million Miami home. To make matters worse, Storch's other baby mama says he owes $5,000 in school tuition to his 16-year-old son (Storch is 34) -- and claims they were just evicted from their Florida home.
A Miami judge has issued a pick-up order for Storch, which authorizes cops to put him in the pokey until he can be taken to court.

Britney Spears - Spears Mum Prays For Better Family Fortunes
BRITNEY SPEARS' mother has turned to God in a desperate bid to turn the troubled first family of pop around.
Struggling Lynne Spears has a lot on her mind - her eldest daughter has twice been hospitalised for mental illness this year (07) and teenage Jamie Lynn is pregnant.
But the matriarch is philosophical about the family's problems, revealing she's hoping regular prayers will turn their fortunes around.
In an exclusive new interview with the upcoming issue of Life + Style magazine, Lynne Spears says, "All I can do is turn to God for answers and just leave it in his hands."
Spears admits she was "a bit disappointed" when her youngest daughter fell pregnant, but now she's resolved to the idea of becoming a grandmother again - and she thinks 17-year-old Jamie Lynn will make a great mum.
She explains, "She really has a way with children - she's a natural nurturer. I just wish she had waited a bit."
And, as for Britney, who was recently diagnosed bipolar amid her custody battle with ex-husband Kevin Federline, Lynne insists the eldest daughter would greatly benefit from spending more time with her young sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James.
She adds, "I pray for Britney every day to be a better mother. She's gone through a lot of trauma, but she seems to be coming out of it - and it's showing in her relationship with the boys. They're really bonding."
