Rap/hip-hop recommendations

[Diabeetus]

Put in your favorite rappers/rap sub-genre, get some recommendations, and offer some recommendations to other people.

Some rappers I like Kanye West, Run The Jewels, and Tyler The Creator. Woop.

 

[PT 404]

Let's start here...

On the Run the Jewels tip, some OG Company Flow

But, this is a gem that has not met many ears.

 

[Draza]

Motana of 300 is my current like right now:

 

[Rand /pol/]

Moonman

 

[CrunkLord420]

ScHoolboy Q, A$AP Rocky, A$AP Ferg, Joyner Lucas, Pusha T, Danny Brown.

If you like Tyler you'll probably like A$AP Rocky at the very least since they collab all the time.

 

[Flying_with_the_Penguins]

Viper the Rapper. I'll let his genius speak for itself:

 

[oldTireWater]

Beastie Boys or get fucked.

 

[Woke Blue Muttlema]

The three are good material.

Not all women in rap need to be whores.

This kid is going to save the genre.

Spoiler: The KING

 

[Tramadol]

The three are good material.

Assburger is a pretty cool guy

 

[Andre The Roboto]

If you want some edgy SoundCloud rap, listen to some Bones

 

[protomartyr]

I'm fairly entry-level, tend to enjoy more catchy hip-hop with boom-bap production rather than trap stuff. There aren't many albums I like as a whole other than My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy and Daytona.

JPEGMAFIA's last album is great too. Kind of inconsistent but a lot of really fucking great tracks.

 

[DudeWithTheFood]

I love Danny Brown right now. This song and the album it's on, Atrocity Exhibition, are highly recommended.

 

[July_4_1997]

 

[D. Sweatshirt]

KMD, Proof, early Slum Village. All excellent and ripe for the picking if you haven't heard them yet.

 

[J A N D E K]

I’m mostly about the old school.

Eric B & Rakim, Public Enemy, Run DMC, Whodini, Audio Two, Beastie Boys, Digable Planets, Dilated Peoples

I like a little bit from some more recent artists.

Loyle Carner, Antwon, Nacho Picasso.

EDIT: I’m into Turntablism too. That is what Hip Hop is missing these days... SCRATCHING.

 

[Done]

If you like fire verses over boom-bap production, you should definitely check out Czarface (Inspectah Deck + Esoteric):

Diabolic's Liar & A Thief album is also very underrated imo, nice production, strong emceeing and most importantly in my opinion, fucking hungry rappers on the mic:

I also second CrunkLord's suggestions of Joyner Lucas, that dude is amazing, I could listen to him eviscerating the Bank Account instrumental all day!

Also, if you've never listened to Pusha T or his original group, the Clipse, then you absolutely should, and yes, that includes the mixtapes.

 

[419]

- Lil Ugly Mane, SpaceGhostPurrp, Denzel Curry (all Raider Klan associates), also others like Wiki in terms of production and lyrics
- trap scene has acts like Playboi Carti, Lil Uzi Vert, A$AP Rocky
- cloud/edgy rap (Yung Lean, Bones, $uicideboy$' latest album, et al) is pretty good too, even harder fringe stuff like Sybyr and most other antiworld/weirdclvn members

there's also the UK rap scene with acts like Boy Better Know (Skepta, JME and others) in terms of grime/drill, Foreign Beggars and a few artists signed under High Focus Records like Ocean Wisdom.

 

[drtoboggan]

Rap is garbage.

Loyle Carner is a great shout, recommend him to everyone.
