Nice recs.

I tried mbdtf, however I didn't like that much. I just really don't care for him. Thanks anyway

It really depends on what genres you like, those can influence your taste in hip-hop quite a bit.
But for obvious starters: of
>MF DOOM's projects, including collabs
>Mos Def
>Lupe Fiasco
>EL-P
>cLOUDDEAD
Instrumental hip-hop also tends to be a good entry point for most new hip-hop listeners, so check out DJ Jazzy Jeff, Madlib, Knxwledge and Clams Casino.
Yeah you gotta listen to Kanye's first two albums, very very different from mbdtf, also, Illadelph Halflife by the Roots
You crazy for not liking Illmatic but you probably will eventually if you keep listening to hip hop, it set a bar for poetic rapping that has still not been beat to this day and every hip hop artist you'll listen to probably thinks it's 10/10
>>63349316
>It really depends on what genres you like, those can influence your taste in hip-hop quite a bit.
Very true
What do you like OP?
>>63348695
I'm a hiphop pleb. I like Nujabes, Diggable Planets, ATCQ, DOOM/Madvillain, and Deltron 3030
I don't like Kanye nor Kendrick.
What do?
Straight outta compton is a very essential record. Other than that idk, donuts.
>>63349340
I agree with you about it being 10/10, Liquid swords is better tho
>>63349365
you're that guy from yesterday aren't you
>>63349365
Listen to this and thank me
>>63349365
Listen to Quasimoto.
Freddy Gibbs and Madlib - Pinata
>>63348695
The only people who bother to post in these trash threads are the morons who already listen to hip hop. Hip hop is the laziest and most accessible genre of popular music on the planet; I've met middle schoolers have the same taste as hip hop fans who have been listening to the genre for forty years.
tl;dr (I know hip hop fans have short attention spans) stop making the same fucking thread over and over and go back to r/hiphopheads

Will do. Any more recs?
>>63349409
Already have senpai. Like it. Any others?
>>63349349
>>63349316
Not sure if my tastes will help. But my favorite genres are jazz, folk and post-rock. I guess I'll start with the instrumentals, since what mostly bores me in rap music, is the rapping (yeah, i know), it will take me some time to proper enjoy it. Maybe should I read the lyrics along?
>>63349497
>Already have senpai. Like it. Any others?
>>63349288
my man
>>63349511
Of course that helps! There's a whole jazz hop genre, my nig. Give this a gander and tell me what you think
>>63349365
Have you listened to Viktor Vaughn and King Geedorah, DOOM's aliases?
Future and Young Thug. DS2 and Barter 6 were some of the best albums of 2015.
>>63349569
>jazz hop
seems dope, thanks
>>63349570
Yeah. I've pretty much listened to all I can of DOOM.
>>63349570
I would second this rec if you haven't heard them. Take me to your leader is my favorite DOOM affiliated project
...speaking of underrated DOOM projects
>>63349621
I mean I loved both of those projects and they both became essential listens in that modern style, but do you really think they were the best albums, well barter was a mixtape, of 2015? How much did you listen to last year?
>>63349622
Yup
>>63349497
>any more recs?
Check this out
The majority of these literally arent essential at all
Also Enter The Wu-Tang
>>63348695
if you liked the instrumentation on To Pimp A Butterfly try out Flying Lotus, Until The Quiet Comes, and You're Dead!

>calls a ton of critically acclaimed and widely accepted albums not essential
>posts fucking Drake
>literally
Pls be bait
>>63350152
not him but are you implying Take Care isn't an essential? You're probably like the faggot OP who thinks any of the Kanye albums aren't essentials
>>63350307
Lol, I just said I didn't like Kanye's. wtf bro
>>63348695
>>63350307
Yes, I am saying that. Take Care tried to expand on Drake's "original"(lol) style of singing in hip hop, and came out a messily thrown together record that relied on flat singing and fabricated pathos.
And holy shit man where is your bar for essential at? Every single Ye album? Ever? You probably thought Yeezus was original hahaha. Ye's essential albums are college dropout and late reg. I'd also accept 808's because it actually was a very original release however obnoxious it was
>>63350459
>>63349919
Shit senpai didn't see your post, but essential they are
>>63350459
Nice one retard. I really hate when people don't read threads
>>63350466
How big is your backpack? I'm about to go hiking soon and i'd like a nice one
pre-illmatic hip-hop with funky flow on jazz/soul sampled beats
>>63349309
>36 chambers is obvious
>pauls boutique isn't
both are on literally every top 10 ever
>>63349399
are you talking about my thread about how i dislike modern hip-hop? :o
>>63349437
how are you too dumb to understand hip-hop
>>63350496
I'm not simply a backpack rap fan tho, and btw fuck that term and you for using it, but I listen to a ton of popular or otherwise "mainstream" hip hop like young thug, juicy j, jeezy, lil herb, chance, I could go all day. I just find Drake to not be a very good artist, and someone who has found a lane that has only been run over a million times a long time ago so nobody remembers it and they think he's original. This happens in music all the time. Do you have a retort for my argument or do you always resort to unfounded character attacks when faced with reasoning?
>>63350592
People who aren't educated in hip hop are FAR more likely to recognize 36 chambers
>>63350466
Nah I think Ye's essentials are the ones you listed
I thought Take Care was a solid album, with a nice blend of rapping and singing, but I see as a top album for Drake because the only other albums I'm a fan of are If You're Reading This Its Too Late and So Far Gone
If you don't think take Take Care is an essential than id give a vote for So Far Gone
>>63350645
Ah well it seems we agree. I guess I misinterpreted your post or something
I mean if I had to pick a Drake album to be essential, it would be Take Care. That being said I don't think any of his albums are even close to essential
>>63350726
I'm torn really, I somewhat agree that he might not have an essential, but at the same time he's so huge, one of those rappers that has mainstream appeal (dont get me wrong rap is mainstream but this guy takes it to another level) and for that reason I believe he needs an album on the "essential list", so people getting into hip hop can see what the big deal (or not so big deal is), i meant thats what essential list are for right, people new to the genre?
I don't, my reasoning might be stupid but thats how I feel
>>63349270
Gold
>>63350152
If you don't think Take Care is an essential album then you genuinely don't know anything about Hip Hop's progression in the last decade. You should just not comment
>>63350466
the question isnt whether the album is good, its whether it did anything to push Hip Hop or music as an art form. You're opinion literally doesnt matter in this case, yet here you are, spouting your bullshit
>>63349187
BIGGGUUUUP!!!!!
I'll change the question a little bit...
What are some good hip-hop albums regardless of lyrics? English isn't my first language and I can't understand anything the rappers are saying, but I fucking love some of the more experimental production on even mainstream hip-hop albums like To Pimp a Butterfly and The Life of Pablo.
I also like Death Grip's The Money Store.
>>63351712
>good hip-hop albums regardless of lyrics
>enlighs isn't my first language
>I fucking love some of the more experimental production or even mainstream hip hop
Correct
>I can't understand anything.
>Life of Pablo
Mostly wrong. I can understand about 80% of rapping, but the fact they always sing too fast and keep mentioning cultural references and slang bars, I can't totally get it/relate to. Most of the time, I don't even read the lyrics along, I just don't care too much.
I don't like Kanye.
But yea, pretty much this. I enjoy the sound within the music, and a good production.
>>63351886
>enjoy good production
>doesn't enjoy kanye
well tickle my fucking pickle dude
>>63351960
his rapping is always too lazy and lame to the point of annoying me
Based on this, what else would i enjoy?

dude some 2016 pusha project that's half filler isn't essential hip hop, much less for people that aren't into it
>>63349187
this is great anon thank you, always wanted to check out some of the stuff Del was involved in but never did
>>63349437
literally ignore the thread or filter it out if u dont like it, stop derailing the fl good recs
>>63358079
essential doesn't mean classic, this is a good way to gauge what hip-hop is right now.
>>63350152
nobody said it was good, but from a historical perspective it influenced the direction of mainstream hip hop
