I dont want to remain an ignorant fuck anymore
Kendrick Lamar - GKMC
Kendrick Lamar - TPAB
Kendrick Lamar - S80
Kendrick Lamar - UU

>who's that
arguably the most significant hip-hop artist of the 21st century
you only really need to listen to GKMC and TPAB though
>>63132872
half meme and half truth, since GKMC and S80 are great releases. The other two aren't as good but they're still "important".
>>63132853
This
Op, be smart and listen to this anon.
>>63132844
NAS ILLMATIC
the greatest rap all-time. fuck kendrick
Chamillionaire - Ultimate Victory
MISTA THUG ISOLATION
RTJ 1 (maybe 2 if you want)
Cocaine Pinata
>>63132967
That's not TPAB
>>>/r/music
>>63132978
>TPAB

put a rope around your neck and try not to die you worthless pile of garbage
>>63132853
Those albums a suck dick. You're a faggot.
>>63133015
fuck off poseur. hope you have fun being contrarian and listening to shit music to look cool to other 16 year olds.
>>63132977
OP wants to learn about hip-hop, not 13-22 year old internet white kid meme shit.
>>63133032
>hip-hop
>13-22 year old internet white kid meme shit
what's the difference
this board is fucking terrible
>>63133041
There's a pretty large difference between say, Gang Starr and EPMD, and Lil Ugly Mane and Run The Jewels.
>>63133029
>Illmatic
>contrarian
kek
here's your (you)
>>63132844
Since you don't like/know much about hip hop listen to madvillain-madvillainy
Awesome album that you don't even need to be big on rap
Mos Def - The Ecstatic
Young Thug - Barter 6
Freddie Gibbs - Piñata (Baby Face Killa is good too)
Kendrick Lamar - Good Kid MAAD City
Future - Monster
That's five. Casual hip hop fan and that's just what I'd say, think they're important.
ignore every person in this thread and dive into the deep end with this chart
pic related plus Straight Outta Compton
>>63133066
>Casual hip hop fan
believe me, it shows
>>63133073
ignore this. here's the superior TWIII album. anything else comes after.
>>63133093
Ten Wanted Men is by far and away the best TWIII related project, if you're not counting his Cribs video
>>63133093
>>63133102
any one of them is better than being introduced to rap via way of kendrick and run the jewels
Also listen to this, and J Dilla's Donuts. Two best beat records imo
>>63133113
this is very true
this one isnt intellectual, but is full of legitimately fun tracks and great bars. Underrated classic imo
this desu

I can't stand 50 most of the time. The lyrics just sound fucking stupid.
>"you shouldn't throw stones of you live in a glass house"
>"and if you got a glass jaw, you should watch your mouth"
>"cos I'll break your face"
>>63135110

>Illmatic - Nas
>Acid Rap - Chance the Rapper
>By the Throat - Eyedea and Abilities
