>no hip-hop thread
who's your favorite lyricist? i used to really like the way earl flowed, then i got really into biggie. it wasn't until i started listening to pic related that i was like holy FUCK this shit is smooth.
Is there literally ANY photo of DOOM without his mask? And I mean recently, not KMD era.
aesop rock

>>66199114
>aesop rock
Any fave albums/tracks? Dunno where to start
>>66199114
>aesop rock
first one I thought of but I'm not a big fan otherwise
>>66199134
skelethon is one of my fav albums
none shall pass
new one is dope
labor days is classic, idk
>>66199114
Labor days and TIK, my boy.
LD is 10/10 and TIK is way more accessible imo. Skelethon is relatively accessible too.
Seconding Aes, also a big fan of Open Mike Eagle and El-P's non-RtJ stuff
>>66199538
El-P's solo albums are dope, RTJ is hit/miss
>>66199134
Start with None Shall Pass and Labor days
If you like NSP check out everything he released from Fast Cars onward
If you like LD check out Appleseed, Daylight EP, and Float
If you liked all of that take a chance on Music for Earthworms
If and only if you believe he can do no wrong after listening to all of those, prove yourself wrong with Bazooka Tooth
>>66199602
Exactly
q's albums gonna be lit
>>66199646
>>66199168
haha bazooka tooth is probably my least fav as well
Anyone got any recommendations for albums with really cool beats / production? Stuff like El-P's solo work, MF Doom or cLOUDDEAD. Also have a chart.
>>66199846
buck 65 has some really interesting production, checkout Talkin' Honky Blues
Gonna get crucified for this opinion, but Kool A.D. is my absolute favorite lyricist. And I've listened to 80-90% of the hip-hop posted here.
>the next-level free-association
>the multi-syllabics
>touches on serious subject matters without ever sounding preachy or heavy-handed in the slightest
>god-tier flow
If he focused his craft more and was less jokey, he'd be a GOAT contender.
>>66199827
It's got some good stuff on it but overall it feels like a weird misstep in the catalog
I guess it makes sense since it was his first full length after his breakdown
>>66199978
No hate from me, he's dope.
The horoscopes he writes for paper mag are pretty hilarious too
>>66199978
Also Jonwayne is killing it right now, he just came back to making music after a 2-year hiatus and dropped 3 singles one after another, 2 of which were fucking incredible and 1 that was still pretty good. Incredibly unique lyricist, can't name another rapper that sounds remotely like him,
>>66199846
This chart is fucked lol.
Tyler the Creator two deviations under Madvillain? Get the fuck outta here
>>66199034
GZA
>>66200102
wolf should definitely go under conceptual
>>66199134
Float: Float, Big Bang, Skip Town
Labor Days: Daylight, Battery, No Regrets, 9-5ers Anthem
Bazooka Tooth: Babies with Guns
None Shall Pass: the whole thing
Skelethon: Leisureforce, Gopher Guts
The Impossible Kid: the whole thing
Fast Cars: Holy Smokes
Lice: Katz, So Strange Here
Are You Gonna Eat That: Church Pants, Grubstake, Meter Feeder
Bestiary:the whole thing
after that go pretend that you enjoy earthworms and appleseed like everyone else
>>66199846
whether created this disaster is embarrassingly out of touch across multiple eras, so not much different to the people who try to make these hip hop generals happen really>>66199978
>>66200384
Hey fuck you Appleseed is legitimately good
>>66199034
Diabolic
Ill Bill
Immortal Technique
GZA
In that order
What does /mu/ think of this?
Tablo
Who else /atribecalledquest/ here?
>favorite album
>favorite song
for me it's midnight marauders and we can get down
Jak Progresso
>>66200074
i didn't even know he rapped
Kinda relevant question, who was it that said 'if it was only about lyrics, killer mike would have a grammy'? Or some shit like that...
>>66201289
Good voice, bad flow
>>66202195
he's a big guy
>>66202189
Listen to this shit https://www.youtube.com/shared?ci=PjIVALYN-ac
>>66202333
Oh, Hood politics Kendrick Lamar
>>66199602
I gotta say though his stuff with Killer Mike on Run the Jewels
