I dunno if you guys have heard of Devlin but he's done well commercially recently, he's re-releasing Tales From the Crypt and The Art of Rolling on iTunes soon. Both very strong releases and on youtube.


Devlin - Bad Day [2/19] - YouTube


Devlin - From The Bottom To The Top - YouTube

I didn't have no access to a big black stick then

anyone who likes 90s stuff should check the Nick Wiz Cellar Sounds compilations. there's 3 volumes and they're all great




Sparky 01-10-2014 01:13 AM



listen to 3:00 for good beat change

MP3Man 01-10-2014 04:17 PM

My recommendations
 
Old school hip hop that is out living todays rap by far. The Roots, Brand Nubian, A Tribe Called Quest, NWA, Rotten Razkals to name a few.

meh, I didn't like that beat change. I liked it more at 4:00 more so than the one at 3:00.

Don't see Rottin Razkals mentioned very often. They were kind of like Naughty By Nature's understudies. Found this rare remix of their hit 'Oh Yeah' by Crazy C on youtube a while back. beat reminds me of ATCQ Hot Sex, but better


Sparky 01-24-2014 07:16 PM

i really like this guy

Hes on stonesthrow as a kid. He's going to make grounds within the next decade.



Once he outgrows his pretentiousness(hopefully) at least in such a blatant way, and tones down his kina contrived wordyness, it doesnt come off as indicative of the beats all the time- i think he's going to be a defining force if anyone cares for a rapper who doesn't look cool

jonezen 02-04-2014 11:26 PM

I got what your looking for. Check out the new single "Feels So Good". LA Music Award winner hip hop artist of the year…search for Jonezen Feels So Good on YouTube

jonezen 02-04-2014 11:27 PM

Rappers from other countries
 
ANybody else down with guys like Classified and Hilltop Hoods? How bout Swollen Members….

EqualEyeMusic 02-06-2014 07:08 AM

Song that changed me
 
Not sure if you have heard it. Its a pretty obvious one. Blackalicious - "Make you feel that way". Just the song you need to hear

totosama 02-14-2014 12:54 PM

I am far from being a hip-hop expert, basically I enjoy listening to ATCQ and De La Soul. I want to check Brand Nubian and I wonder which album would be the best to start with?
Thank you.

Carpe Mortem 03-16-2014 05:11 PM

Hey yall, I'm pretty picky about my rap if there's not a nostalgia sort of thing attached to it (90s kid) and need more recs.

So far in life I dig Eminem, Tech N9ne, Hopsin, Tyler the Creator, Bone Thugs, and ICP.

I dig rap that has a really creepy sort of vibe, or at least raw as ****. None of that in the club bull****, and nothing with a super electronic beat in back. I need good music, that is primary. Good music, and I have a heavy preference for deeper voices.

Hope you can help!

there's new ep by 100s out that's pretty good. free download via e-mail/stream here

IAmJustAWeirdo 03-24-2014 06:41 PM

Chance the rapper has some good ones





someone probably mentioned tyler the creator already

blackcoffee 03-25-2014 11:46 PM

I'm actually liking more of Chance's stuff the more I listen to it. Something about his voice still pisses me off though.

I reaaaalllyyy don't listen to enough rap to be honest, & I don't even know tf I like yet really. The rap I've got in my library so far is some Wu Tang (but the only album I have is 36 Chambers), Childish Gambino, Atmosphere, Aesop Rock and some OFWGKTA. So I guess I err on the side of more indie rap. I like clever wordplay and pop culture references. And Drake's soft-ass, too, of course.

It'd be dope to hear some stuff from female rappers too, if anyone can recommend some.

I got this song lined up to play in plug soon from Snow Tha Product. She's on Strange Music label(Tech N9ne's if you didn't know)




I'm pretty sure you may know K Flay already but I like this song from her EP two years ago.


Nitty Scott


Also I agree with you on Chance's voice and the whole "nananana" thing.

Sparky 03-26-2014 01:31 PM

Lauren Hill is one of the best rappers. Not easy listening.



She has more to say in twenty seconds than many records/discographies

Finding New Hip Hop
 
Hey, I'm a big hip hop enthusiast and I've been having trouble finding good new music. Obviously hip-hop is a massive genre, but I wouldn't mind some suggestions. If you guys could list some artists/groups you think are worth checking out that would be fantastic. I enjoy hip-hop from any time period, so feel free to recommend old school stuff too.

Here is a list of artists/groups I listen to regularly, so you know what I've heard and incase you're also looking to expand your library. There are quite a few artists in my library missing from this list, but not ones I listen to often. Thanks!

Aceyalone, Alpha Singh, Atmosphere, Audio Two, Beastie Boys, Big Daddy Kane, Big L, Big Pun, Bigg Bump, Biz Markie, Black Sheep, Blackstar, Blu & Exile, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Bow Wow, Brand Nubian, Brother Ali, Captain Steez, Captain Murphy, Cassidy, Chance the Rapper, Chiddy Bang, Chief Kamachi, Childish Gambino, Coolio, Craig Mack, Crooklyn Dodgers 95, Cypress Hill, Czarface, D-Pryde, The D.O.C., D12, Damian Marley, Danny Brown, Das EFX, De La Soul, Dead Prez, Digable Planets, Doomtree, Drake, Dr. Dre, Eminem, Eric B. & Rakim, Eyedea & Abilities, The Fugees, Funky 4+1, Gang Starr, Grandmaster Flash, Grieves, Grits, GZA, Heiruspecs, Hoodie Allen, Ice Cube, Immortal Technique, Jay-Z, Joey Bada$$, Kid Cudi, Kid Ink, KMD, Kool G Rap, Kurtis Blow, Lauryn Hill, Living Legends, Lupe Fiasco, Mac Miller, Machine Gun Kelly, Macklemore, Madlib, Madvillain, Marley Marl, MF Doom, Mobb Deep, Mos Def, N.W.A., Nas, Notorious B.I.G., Odd Future, Outkast, P.O.S., Pete Rock, Pharcyde, Public Enemy, Pusha T, Raekwon, Rob Base, The Roots, Run the Jewels, Run-DMC, Salt-N-Pepa, Shad, Snoop Dogg, The Sugar Hill Gang, Surreal and the Sound Providers, Talib Kweli, Tech N9ne, A Tribe Called Quest, Twista, Tyga, Tyler the Creator, Waldo, Will Smith, Wu-Tang Clan, Young MC, 2Pac, 9th Wonder, 50 Cent

grooveandsoul2014 03-29-2014 01:25 PM

If you're looking for conscious hip-hop, I'd like to put forward my own group for consideration: MODAL.
Lyrically, it is always saying something, whether it be social critique or just generally uplifting.
Check it out if it's what you're feeling! It's on iTunes and bandcamp, and look up "MODAL at the Parish Underground" on Youtube.

Carpe Mortem 04-03-2014 12:34 AM

Just came across this, excellent middle eastern sort of vibe to it


Goofle 04-03-2014 06:49 AM

Pretty good.

Thats quite a list dude! Youve got alot covered already haha I can suggest Genelec and Memphis Reigns. Their album Scorpion Circles is one of my all time favorites.



Heres a link to the whole album Genelec & Memphis Reigns - Scorpion Circles (2002…: Genelec & Memphis Reigns - Scorpion Circles (2002) [full album] - YouTube

Also didnt see Jedi Mind Trix in there either. Or Jeru Tha Damaja


TWT Music 04-03-2014 10:38 PM

I recommend Knowmads if you like lyrical content and real talk in your music. All there songs are awesome but I particularly enjoy the following:
The boat can leave now
one
payback
The Pain

Its hard to find there music on yourtube but every album is on Spotify
