Glad 6ix9ine is back in the game. Content for days and his music lowkey slaps.

  • Eminem
  • Bone Thugs-N-Harmony

Same here - all the way up to the mid 2000's rap I listened to in high school.

Oh INDEED. Mmm Food & Vaudeville Villain (done under his Viktor Vaughn alter ego) are amazing as well.

A few buddies of mine are doing an Album review on google sheets were we listen to an album and rate it 1-10 and write up a quick summary. It's been a blast so far and I'm currently in an underground rap wormhole.

 

I'm a rap/hip-hop aficiando.

My list of rappers from different eras is too long to list, so I'll do in pieces and bits of all my hip-hop hits:

Jay-Z Biggie Nas Rakim LL Cool J Redman 2pac DMX T.I. Ludacris Kendrick Lamar Drake J. Cole Wale Future Tyler The Creator Missy Snoop Lil Wayne Kanye

Groups: A Tribe Called Quest Gang Starr Wu-Tang Mobb Deep Pete Rock & Cl Smooth Outkast Beastie Boys Digable Planets Migos

I'll stop there since the more I think about, the snapshot list will always feel incomplete...

if you’re in finance and don’t listen to rap I question you’re ability to survive in the field

 

The genre has evolved so much but it is still the genre I fall back on. Lately it's been a lot of tasteful electronic (e.g. Nicholas Jaar, Disclosure, Jamie XX, Tourist, Daft Punk) and the weekly Soulection drop.

The most innovative shit in hip hop is coming out of SadBoys / GTB/ Drain Gang. It's a producers game these days and some of the beats that WhiteArmor, Gud and Yung Sherman lay down are way too fucking nice.

 

Alot of casuals in this thread... anyway...

Newer (2010s):

Lil Baby, Gunna (mostly on features), Young Thug, Roddy Rich, Flatbush Zombies, Mick Jenkins, TDE (Kdot, Schoolboy, Soulo, Jay Rock, Reason, Isaiah Rashad), Dreamville (JID, Lute, Bas, Cozz, Earthgang), J Cole, ASAP Ferg (moreso than Rocky), Future, St. JHN, PacDiv, Nipsey Hussle, Meek Mill, Travis Scott, IDK, Jidenna, Goldlink, Childish Gambino, Run The Jewels, Drake, Grip, Earl Sweatshirt, YG, Buddy, YBN Cordae, Freddie Gibbs, Vince Staples, Big KRIT, and others

Older - too many to name but ones that I don't see in this thread are:

Little Brother, UGK, Xzibit, Compton's Most Wanted, Common, Souls of Mischief, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Naughty by Nature, 8 Ball & MJG, Gang Starr, Freeway, Beanie Siegel, The Roots, Pharoahe Monch, Slick Rick, Rakim, Big Daddy Kane, LL Cool J, Public Enemy, The Lox, Jedi Mind Tricks, Missy Elliot, The Clipse, Meth & Red, The Fugees, Twista, Currensy, Rick Ross, Ludacris, Scarface

Honestly there are way too many artists to name so I'll leave it there.

Gotta ask you given the list, what're you R&B recs? I myself love Musiq Soulchild, Usher, Robin Thicke, Raheem Devaughn, The Weeknd (trilogy all day), some Bryson Tiller, and some Erykah Badu

Erykah Badu is a gift from heaven. Period. Beyond her... DeAngelo, Usher, Alicia Keys, the Foreign Exchange....

Newer: SZA, Mereba, the Weekend, Ari Lennox

I like R&B but prefer Rock for sure.

Gucci Mane’s last few albums are hard (i.e Evil Genius and Delusions of Grandeur)

Federal Fed by Moneybagg yo and Future slaps

Surprised no one has mentioned shoreline mafia yet

 

Juvenile-Chopper City Album? May have still be the 504 boys back then Mystikal- Tarantula Master P-Make em say Unnn Mannie Fresh- Chubby Boy, the fucking best Ying Yang Twins- Sweat Old Jay Z-Hard Knock Life Volume 2 Diddy back when we was Puff Daddy- Money Ain't a thing 3 6, all of world domination part 2, especially tear the club up Outkast-Gasoline Dreams , Bombs of Baghdad Eminems first 2 albums Dre- Chronic 2000 Project Pat- Chicken Head Wu-Tang- man fuck Martin Sherkill I want to hear that album.... Old Dirty Bastard- Shimmy

 

Been really feeling some of Young Thug's stuff lately. RiRi, Harambe, Webbie, Family don't matter, tomorrow till infinity, feel it, high, and (good times) is a hell of a playlist (didn't put the songs in any particular order). Also am I the only one who actually liked Chance's new album lol?

Array
 

-Kanye West (Yeezus aka GOAT album, but listens to all of his albums) -Travis Scott, mostly projets when he was not so hyped (Days before rodeo aka best mixtape ever heard, and Rodeo best trap album) -Kid cudi (DP&DS, MotM(1&2) - ASAP rocky (LLAsap, Testing which is underrated) - Kendrick - J Cole (2014 fh is a goat album) - Lil Uzi vert - XXX - Lil Peep - Metro Boomin etc - Nas

 

Great list, huge fan of all of em except don't really listen to X and Lil Peep :(. Would add Thugger and maybe Carti but he's been quite disappointing. Def recommend DbR and Rodeo to all those who started listening to Travis post birds in the trap.

I like Lil Uzi, A Boogie, Lil Baby, Lil Wayne, Young Thug, and sometimes Lil Peep. They're who I listen to the most often. Lately been listening to J.I. and TheKidLaroi, they seem pretty good.

Playboi Carti, Juice WRLD, Iann Dior, Lil Tracy, St. Jhn, Lil Tecca, and Lil Mosey are all great too.

As far as lyrical rappers, Kendrick is the goat. I think J Cole is kind of corny sometimes.

 

Biiiiig Kid Cudi, Kanye, Future, and Migos guy. I like the A$AP Mob, especially A$AP Ferg and A$AP Rocky; I like Mustard, A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie, Tyga, Ty Dollar $ign, Meek, and T.I. too.

Dax, Travis Scott, and Chance the Rapper aren't bad, either.

 

Old school rap is my favorite. Nas, Mos Def, Jay Z (not very old school but on the border), Tupac, The Notorious BIG.. several others who are just amazing.

For newer ones I think J Cole is very underrated.

DRAKE IS THE KING! He inspires me to make money, be great and crush it. Work hard, and you can also be the top in your field like he is. Best lyricist that inspires.

 

No mention of Fabolous?! Cmonnn...

To name a few:

Anything by G-Unit together as a group, 50 Cent, Fabolous, Lloyd Banks, Jadakiss, Mobb Deep, Biggie, Pac, The Game, Young Jeezy, T.I., Kendrick, Lil Wayne/Drake/Birdman/Nicki (anything w/ Young Money together), Eminem, Dr. Dre, Rick Ross, Nipsey Hussle, Curren$y, older Kanye, Nas, Jay-Z, Mase, Diddy, older Meek (like Dreamchasers albums), older Wiz Khalifa (Kush & OJ, Prince of the City/POTC2, etc.), Ludacris, Big Sean, Mac Miller, J. Cole, Timbaland, Jim Jones/Juelz Santana (and Dipset as a group), The Lox, Wale, older French Montana, Chinx, older Tyga...for me, the 10-15 years or so after the turn of the century was when the most memorable music was made in this genre (songs that when they shuffle on immediately take you back to a certain part of your life / make you remember specific moments/parties/people/routines from your past). I find myself listening to music from the past 5 years probably less than 10% of the time (Dave East is the main exception, then maybe some random Lil Baby/Gunna/Future/Young Thug etc.).

For R&B vibes/features historically...Chris Brown, Trey Songz, Jeremih, Usher, Lloyd, Ryan Leslie, Mary J. Blige, Governor, Musiq Soulchild.

 

Question is way too hard to answer but some that I think have to be on any list are:

  • Common: I Used To Love H.E.R
  • NWA: Fuck The Police
  • Scarface: Never Seen A Man Cry
  • Outkast: Rosa Parks
  • Snoop Dogg: Gin & Juice
  • Dr. Dre & Snoop Dogg: Nuthin But a G Thang
  • UGK: International Player's Anthem
  • Jay Z & UGK: Big Pimpin'
  • Mos Def & Talib Kweli: Respiration
  • A Tribe Called Quest: Award Tour
  • Nas: New York State Of Mind
  • Slick Rick: Children's Story
  • Rakim: Don't Sweat The Technique
  • Public Enemy: Black Steel In The Hour Of Chaos
  • Kendrick Lamar: The Blacker The Berry
  • Geto Boys: Mind Playin' Tricks On Me
  • Kanye West: Jesus Walks
  • Tupac: Lord Knows
  • Tupac: Brenda's Got A Baby
  • Biggie Smalls: I Got A Story To Tell
  • Eminem: Stan
  • Ice Cube: Today Was A Good Day
  • LL Cool J: I'm Bad
  • Sugar Hill Gang: Rapper's Delight (the first rap hit - 1979)

Honestly this could go on forever. But as you can see from what I listed, the golden age of rap was likely 1990-2000 - the sheer amount of classic content dwarves any time period following it.
