Hey /b/ I've recently started to enjoy rap. But I seem to have a hard time finding really good rappers. I tend to like rappers that talk about real issue. Any suggestions would be nice. Also general God tier rap thread.

Do yourself a favor and don't just listen to rap for "real issues." Rappers like Tech n9ne and Hopsin really just come off as pseudo intellectuals who try and cram as large as a vocabulary as possible along with a superiority complex.
What >>672708533 said is a good list of rappers who are mainstream but do a real good job of talking a lot of real issues without being overly complex just for the sake of it.
>>672708295
Slim Jesus
Dude... Listen to "TWIZTID". they are fucking dope. Twiztid- a lil fucked up.
>>672708295
Immortal Technique, nobody raps as much about real stuff than him. He raps about the elite
>>672708295
>>672709119
Also follow up, check out Atmosphere if you want real lyrics and real skill without pretentiousness.
>>672709119
Well I don't think Hopsin is all that bad tbh
Logic.
For alternative rap listen to Tyler, The Creator and the whole Odd Future gang. They're different and have live instruments. Hospin is good, listen to Wu-Tang Clan and Public Enemy

also wu-tang , flatbush zombies , underachievers , mick jenkins , kirk knight , mf doom , ab-soul , last emperor , skepta , jme , mos def, mobb deep , big pun , a tribe called quest
>>672709359
>>672709119
Literally this. People like hopsin try so hard to come off as intelligent that it's just offputting. I'm always a little disappointed when people fall for his bullshit.
>>672709692
/thread
Although for single rappers I'd have to say J-Dilla, Nas or Ghost Face Killah would have to take my number one spot.
>>672708295
stitches
hip-hop isn't always about tackling the "relevant topics" or talking about the "real shit." it's an art form where emotions are expressed, feelings are told. You wouldn't expect your favourite rock artist to tackle the real shit all the time. Music is about expressing emotion and making shit that sounds good. If you want political/spiritual commentary, go read a book.
>>672708295
Honestly I'd recommend Capital Steez.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5--KkSpyy7o
>>672708295
listen too looptroop rockers. really nice beat, mostly political and social issues. their older songs at least. ( 1996-2005 ).
2008-2011 are good too but they change their style a bit.
Zombie for prez
>>672708295
Flatbush Zombies

>>672710314
https://open.spotify.com/user/tomatoes2014-us/playlist/3L5p7G0LkBaJF5hn9Oxr2j
It's a combination of MF Doom, Wu Tang, Nas, J. Cole, Drake, Big Daddy Kane etc.
I'd suggest to you a lot of the artists in that playlist including mobb deep, common, talib kweli, J Dilla, Gang Starr.

Off the top of my head.
>>672710823
Real? What makes him any more real than Drake, Lil Wayne, Future or any other of the mainstream rappers that he makes fun of? Do you measure skill on the amount of lyrics packed into one song? If that's how then you can crown Hopsin your winner but if you value production, unique lyrical content and overall appeal then he is left in the dust.
Canibus. Especially his Fait Accompli album. (Heavily recommended)

b8 as in the basis of "rap" is that they're failed artists who can't actually make real music.

>>672708295
Tyler the creator-only bastard and Goblin album (goblin is best and preferred)
+free song on is his OF(odd future) channel called FUCK IT
Earl sweatshirt- quite depressing
>>672711247
How exactly could a person be a fake wigger? Like for Halloween?
You should check out Kendrick Lamar
>>672712834
Fuck you
>>672712350
I put JMT and AOTP aswell, celph and apathy are good but not near Paz's levels to warrent a solo mention you faggot.
>>672712680
I'm not him but I literally cringe when I hear my friends or other go on about how tec9 or hopsin is GOAT

>>672708295
Atmosphere

Brother Ali
Aesop Rock

if you enjoy nice lyrics and a nice beat.
>>672711671
As much as I hate Odd Future, I have to say they've done hiphop a hell of a service by bringing artists like Vince Staples into public view. They've also brought us people like Kilo Kish and Earl
You can shit on Earl but he's totally outgrown OF's childish posse shit.
Hopsin, J Cole, Nas, Swollen Members, Action Bronson
The only rap group you'll ever need is Atmosphere. Mother fucker's around here don't know what's up.
>>672713432
You are correct but this only applies to the mainstream (generally). There are some gems in hip hop still but you have to look hard for them as they underground.

Check out:
Immortal Technique
Ill Bill
Diabolic
R.A. The Rugged Man
Army of the Pharaohs
Jedi Mind Tricks (These last 2 are amazing groups that spawned incredible solo artists)
For some amazing UK stuff check Rhyme Asylum
been getting into my old school stuff recently as well, check A Tribe Called Quest and De la Soul, the rhymes aren't as sophisticated as stuff today but the beats are pretty sick and they tend to be more chilled and have positive vibes.
Stop listening to Satans music. You LowLife

>>672715882
Stop sucking cuck, faggot

Capital Steez
Eminem's more serious songs are very good.

He's right you know
>>672708295
And also PHryme album is good to check out
MC Vagina
That's all you need.
Stop listening to hip hop if it's for "real issues". That's not what real hip hop is founded upon. It is rooted in an anti-PC culture that was all about keeping it real and having fun. Sadly, It has devolved into something completely different. My advice to you is to go back and listen to the classics.
some of the more hardcore and kinda political rappers are Vinnie paz, Necro, Ill Bill, Immortal Technique, Jedi Mind Tricks, Army Of The Pharaohs, and a few of tupacs songs
This is the whitest thread in existence.
Pharoahe Monch, btw. Listen to him

got a list here's the order of my list that it's in.
It goes Reggie, Jay-Z, Tupac and Biggie, Andre from OutKast, Jada, Kurupt, Nas and then me
Royce Da 5'9" and Joe Budden.
Royce is 1/4 of "Slaughterhouse" (Royce, Budden, Crooked I and Joell Ortiz) and 1/2 of "Bad Meets Evil" with Eminem, so his material isn't hard to find.
and try the Mood Muzik 4 album for Joe Budden. Or his Padded Room album
Anybody like Muck Sticky? Retarded but funny
>>672709318
>Immortal Technique
Ya, he may be spitting close to the truth, but he's still as misogynistic and self-important as any other rapper (unnecessarily rude).
>>672708295
Lil Yachty
>>672708295
Eminem, Kendrick lamar, Nas, Notorious B.I.G., Kanye West, Joey Bada$$, Childish Gambino, J. Cole, Mobb Deep, Mos Def, Rakim, Krs-One, Big L, Mac Miller is decent i guess. Just some personal favorites.
