I want to become le knowledgeable hip-hop patrician. Started with this melon list and some Biggie and Tupac (not memeing though). Where do I go from here? Just listen to the rest of the /mu/-core hip-hop? Anything besides strictly music I should look into, like some documentaries or some shit?

this, Big L shits on anything Jay Z has produced.
try to get a few good representations of different regions and time periods and go further from there
East coast-Wu tang, Jay z, Dipset, Def Jux, ATCQ Busta Rhymes, BIG, Public enemy, Slick Rick
Midwest
Eminem, Doughboyz cashout, Danny brown, j dilla (people love him for some reason), Bone thugs i suppose, Chief keef, Kanye west
Texas-UGK, Any Screwtape,Slim Thug, Paul wall, SUC solo material
Atlanta-Outkast, Goodie mob, Gucci Mane, Future
Florida-2live crew, rick ross, kodak black
Memphis-3 6 mafia, 8ball and mjg
New Orleans-Hot Boyz, No limit
Baton Rouge-Boosie, Webbie
LA- NWA, Snoop Dogg,Tupac
Bay area- E40, Too Short, Mac dre, Lil B
>>64812011
not really, jay z is one of the msot skilled and sublte rappers musically, plus lyrically he's a lot more interesting than big l's punclines and endless multisyllabic rhymes
Big L didn't get a chance to develop his craft as much as Jay Z has, obviously. If you compare them at the same stages of their careers, Big L had already surpassed Jay Z significantly.
