Delete your account.
Go listen to MBDTF and call me in the morning
>>63632317
I think you are confused. He want's patrician hip hop, not entry-level shit.
>>63632211
Shit anon you've heard to some of the worst hip-hop this board praises.
Do yourself a favor and listen to
Gang Starr
Eric & B - Paid In Full
Redman - Dare Iz a Darkside
InI - Center of Attention
The Roots - Things Fall Apart
Boogie Down Productions - By All Means Necessary
>>63632330
You can't be interested in hip hop and not listen to MBDTF son
>>63632356
It's not even that great of an album lol.
>>63632211
Black Moon - Enta Da Stage
A Tribe Called Quest - The Low End Theory
Dalek - From Filthy Tongue of Gods and Griots
Kool Keith - First Come, First Served
Edan - Beauty and the Beat
Ka - The Night's Gambit

You should check out MF DOOM
biggie, nas, kanye, nwa, common
c'mon man get all that shit out of the way before you come here
since ye like wu tang id suggest trying some of their solo albums. liquid swords by gza, ironman by ghostface, built 4 cuban linx by raekwon...
>>63634518
>common
is he really that essential? Only person on that list I haven't properly listened to
All J Dilla....everything in his catalog
>>63634662
these are all really good op
Why does no one ever rec Tupac? His discog is short and his music is genre changing
>>63632356
kek
>>63633552
this but actually listen to pic related, doom is shit
>>63634775
>listening to wu tang affiliates
please stop
>>63634731
Because he doesn't give you cred unlike El-P and his backpacking crap
>>63634731
Well I hold the opinion that 2pac's very forgettable, I mean his albums don't sound bad or even dated, but he just doesn't come off as anything very special (and this is coming from someone who likes his music). It's definitely something you listen to eventually but I don't think it's core or an good introduction to rap in general.
>>63633093
>>63634757
hes right
>>63634731
his discog while alive was short but not very consistent imo, i find listening to full albums of pac to be a huge slog
>MBDTF
>hip hop
Check out KSI - Keep Up
>>63634898
this unironically t b h
Listen to Sole.
At this point he sounds like a cross between Noam Chomsky and Lil B.
His older sound is more dense and avant-garde.
Deep Puddle Dynamics, my man
>>63634860
His singles are beyond essential though.
>>63635078
where to start with Sole?
>>63635125
That's actually a difficult question.
I'd recommend starting with Bottle Of Humans and Selling Live Water.
He has all his albums on bandcamp.
>>63634719
I don't get why everyone goes ape shit over Donuts when he has a ton of better stuff. Is it because he was on his death bed when he produced it? I'm not shitting on Donuts, I just never got the hype over it.
>>63632330
MBDTF is objectively the best album of the decade so far, I'm sorry about your shit taste anon.
36 chambers - wu tang clan
Mmm... Food? - mf doom
Liquid swords - GZA
1999 - joey badass
Violent by design - jedi mind tricks
Things fall apart- the roots
Enter da stage - black moon
Reasonable doubt - jay z
>>63634797
Fuck this
>>63635173
It's just a solid album with a lot of replay value.
Add the backstory and the iconic cover and you get a critically accliamed album.

Can anyone rec some progressive hip hop like Subtle or Busdriver?
>>63634656
Be and Resurrection are classics and are great because they both sound totally different (mainly due to Kanye's influence on the former).
>>63632211
Here's some entry level London hip hop/grime since you probably know fuck all about it. All these tracks are fire

i like hip-hop but dislike all of those albums so i can't help you OP
>>63635417
only white people who feel corny liking eminem dislike eminem's older stuff
>>63640827
Sole's "avant-garde" albums like Exhile, Desert Eagle, Sole & The Skyrider Band, and the Mansbestfriend albums all have dense rap over industrial/acoustic instrumentation.
