I dislike most modern hip-hop. I love tons of 80's & 90's hip-hop. The modern hip-hop I like tends to sound like it believies it's still the ninties. DOOM, RTJ, Czarface. Why does most new hip-hop suck? What should I listen to?
>>63320596
I'm a lot like you. Like it oldskool.
Check out Big K.R.I.T.
Listen to anything by Madlib.
>>63320596
Joey Badass - 1999
>>63320615
I will. Seems to have some odd features though, Wiz Khalifa and Curren$y.
>>63320637
Good one, really immature lyrics though. >>63320632
Yeah, what's to hear after Piñata and Madvillainy?
>>63320699
Beat Konducta Vol. 5 & 6 is the best instrumental hip hop album i've heard. Can't recommend it enough
New rap is just fun, and trendy and won't stand the test out time. I only like some songs because a lot of ot is shit. Fuck rae srummed
>>63320596
Don't be born in le wrong generation then.
FlyLo put out a pretty great mixtape.
>>63320596
J Dilla-Donuts

>>63320816
Oh yeah, not sure why I never figured I'd just listen to his instrumentals. Intersting that you think it's "the best". How'd you compare it to Donuts or Endtroducing?
>>63321481
Classic!
>>63321346
Not really what I'm looking for, but thanks for the suggestion.
>>63321558
Yeah man, I love basically everything you mentioned. Just feel as if I'm missing out, or might even be ignorant to modern hip-hop.
>>63320596
Have you tried listening to classic Memphis stuff like Tommy Wright, Tripple Six Mafia, etc?

>ignorant to modern hip-hop.
Modern hip-hop is mostly shit anyway, you're not missing out on much
>>63321646
Drake's IYRTITL is what started me loving modern day hip hop.
>>63321646
eh, theres a few things that fall through the gap of trash.
LIL UGLY MANE's MISTA THUG ISOLATION is wonderful. joey badass, earl sweatshirt, chance and the old cats like DOOM all coming out with new shit
>>63321646
also check out Live From The Dentist Office

Here's some More modern stuff I've been enjoying that you might like:
Billy Woods is great if you like MF DOOM You should enjoy his stuff, especially "History will Absolve Me"

Also These are good

Please tell me that you've listened to Good Kid Maad City, and MBDTF. Kendrick and older Kanye pretty much are still following the 90s sound.
>>63320596
Let me think of some shit to rec you.
Since you've shown interest in that collab with Gibbs and Madlib, definitely check out Common's shit, especially Be, and Lupe Fiasco's Food and Liquor, as well as Tetsuo and Youth (the latter for a more modern sound).
As >>63321346 said, FlyLo is good for some glitchy, jazz-y hip-hop with some futuristic sounds. Definitely check out Los Angeles or 1983 first if you haven't.
Digable Planets, Freestyle Fellowship and The Pharcyde are also some real good shit you might like in the vein of what >>63321558 said.
Digable is more laidback and RnB orientated, Freestyle is orientated towards a mix of De La Soul and other hardcore groups at the time (while still being much lighter-hearted) and Pharcyde is a weirder, funnier version of ATCQ.
Aesop Rock and EL-P are good too. I think you'd also like Soul Position and Blu for more recent 90's sounding stuff.
The Memphis rap scene is also good, check it out, I think there's a folder in the archive with a lot of discographies from notable artists/groups from the scene, especially Three 6 Mafia, Koopsta Knicca and Gangster Boo.
DJ Krush is a great Japanese instrumental hip-hop artist in the vein of Nujabes and DJ Shadow, with a trip-hop edge who has been releasing stuff since the mid-90s. Check Meiso out if you want a cohesive instrumental album that can stand without vocals. His "Rain" singles is also great but they have a cleaner, more futuristic style of production.
Like this anon suggested >>63321741, if you're interested in political/gritty conscious hip-hop, check out Billy Woods and Ka. Billy is more focused on a rough, gritty form of production with a strong (if somewhat choppy, inconsistent flow) voice, whereas Ka is very street-orientated and aware with a quiet, moody production, but lacks in energy.
For modern hip-hop with a spacey style, definitely check out the Ziggurat by the Constructus Corporation, Deltron 3030's S/T and Clams Casino's instrumentals.

cont.
And for some general recommendations, I guess you could listen to:
Prince Paul - A Prince Among Thieves (boom-bap, conscious conceptual album from the 90s)
Shahmen - All in the Circle (dark, trip-hoppy hip-hop with deep vocals)
Young Fathers - Tape 1 and 2 (grime influenced hip-hop from a Scottish group, catchy as fuuuuuck)
All of Mos Def and Talib Kweli.
Milo - so the flies don't come (I didn't really like this, but some of my friends did so you might too)
Kill the Vultures - S/T (free jazz inspired hip-hop, rapper has a good flow and loud delivery, but can be abrasive on first listen)
Earl Sweatshirt - Doris (already rec'd but you might enjoy it, seems to be the modern hip-hop album (that doesn't have a 90s production style) most old-school listeners enjoy).
Man Bites Dog - Noir (sample based, creepy instrumental hip-hop)
>>63320699
Listen to his projects as Quasimoto, they are pretty cool. If you really like him, his Medicine Show is one of the best things in existence.

Don't have time to give detailed answer to everyone here, thread is full of great suggestions though! And this comment specifically is amazing, and has made me super exited about listen to more music. Had a chance to put on DJ Krush, and I can't believe I haven't heard of him before. Huge thanks for the thorough response!
