always start with a Orion remix;)

If you like Sadistik, you may be into his influences Eyedea (personally I LOVE his music), CunninLynguists (also really love them, check out Oneirology), Atmosphere, Sage Francis, Ceschi Ramos and his fella Kristoff Krane, who have a somewhat similar sound.

Always sunny sample?

Nice mellow track.

Ha, didn't catch that similarity. Apparently its from a 1965 song by Dee Dee Sharp.

Shabazz Palaces feat. Thaddillac's 'Shine a Light' sample of Dee Dee Sharp's 'I Really Love You' | WhoSampled

I think I have to check some of those out. Eyedea, Atmosphere and Kristoff Krane for sure.

You don't know Eyedea? Go get on First Born, excellent record.

If you are just getting into Atmosphere. Listen to God Loves Ugly, Seven's Travels and When Life Gives You Lemons Paint That Shit Gold.

God Loves Ugly is one I keep hearing about.



And of course I know Eyedea just off of being a big Sadistik fan.

Vaun1k -- King Of The Youth
 

Vaun1k is the new artist on the block. He intrigues us with his energetic flow and catchy hooks. DEFINITELY NEW AGE and an acquired taste but where today's music is, I definitely think he's a soon to be XXL freshman. It has also been rumored he may be signing to Rich Forever Music. Check out VAUN1K !!!

You mean like Yanni?

Sounds like a lot of work on my part.

^Does Daveed Diggs have any verses that dope with clipping or his solo stuff? Could never really get into either but this track has me interested.

What hip hop artists I should check out?
 

I really got into hip hop music maybe about a year ago, so I just want to know what albums/artists I should check out? There's so many good songs I'm missing out simply because I don't know they exist. I'm open to any suggestions :)

Outkast discography tbh.

depends on the style you prefer.

big krit

Del Tha Funkee Homosapien

Bushwick Bill

a collection of OccultHawk disstracks

You should listen only to the rappers that beat women. That puts XXXTentacion at the top of the list because he allegedly beat a pregnant woman and that makes him the king of hip hop right now.

Edit: List includes Dr. Dre, Joe Budden, Kodak Black, ICP, and Chris Brown. Eminem has the most music about beating women, but we can't support him because he's not a REAL woman beater.

Edit edit: Big Lurch ate a girls lung, that makes him a legend too.

True.

And don't trust Qwertyy, Who Told You To Thnk??!!??!?!?! is the Milo album you gotta check out.

And you have to check out Shabazz of course.

You like Outkast? Good stuff.

Do you have a favourite album?

no worries frown, i'll handle this with the objectively correct answer.

aquemini > atliens > stankonia > southernplayas

i dont really remember speakboxx so i'm not gonna say it's last but it's probably last

Na.

ATLiens > Aquemini > Southernplaya > Stankonia > SB/TLB > Idlewild

Big Boi's first album is after Stankonia.

But really all of their first five albums are 8/10 or above I think. Idlewild had one or two moments but is a 5/10 at best.

Andre's album is one of the only things that could make me get excited about Hip-Hop. Absolutely killed that Frank Ocean track.

Big Boi's second album is a 5/10. And I never want to hear that EP he did ever again.

Only heard his new one a couple times.

EDIT - 5 is too generous, more like 3.

i can't think of a rapper more technically sound than Andre. he can make a song that lyrically appeals to hip-hop heads everywhere and then give it a hook that'll put it on the Billboard top 100. unreal that he hasn't explored much of a solo career. maybe someday but i really doubt it at this point.

you should check out Eric Biddines if you aren't familiar with him. some of his stuff reminds me a lot of Andre 3k, especially flow wise and conceptually.

Andre is so versatile. Not a bad producer either, I liked a lot of the beats on TLB, and Millionaire is such a great track.

That first video won't play for me Q-Man, gonna get it now.

I've never heard of this Eric Biddines guy.
