Music for the Advancement of Hip Hop is a compilation album released by American hip hop record label Anticon in 1999. The album collects tracks by members of the label's core crew.

## Critical reception

Dan Gizzi of AllMusic gave the album 4.5 stars out of 5, saying, "if you want to hear some abstract hip hop from a variety of different artists this may be the album for you." Jon Caramanica of Spin called it "the Anticon collective's breakthrough release". Ian S. Port of SF Weekly said: "It featured left-field DJ textures, boom-bap beats, insanely acrobatic rapping, and stilted, stumbling rhythms."

In 2015, Fact placed it at number 100 on the "100 Best Indie Hip-Hop Records of All Time" list.
