The Rap & Hip-Hop Recommendation Thread

[Cuthbert]

^ Need to cop that. Oddisee is quality.

[Cuthbert]

Can anybody recommend me something similar to The Chronic/Doggystyle?

I have so far got:

Warren G - G Funk Era
NWA - Niggaz4Life
Soundtrack to Deep Cover
The Dogg Pound - Dogg Food

Few other bits and pieces but yeah looking for that 90's G Funk sound.

[Goofle]

MC Eiht - We Come Strapped (sorta)
People Under the Stairs - Fun DMC (also sorta)

Not one of my strongest areas to be honest.

Anything from the West Coast in the early 90s should have a similar vibe that you are looking for. Are you looking for something in particular like the gangster lyrics, that west coast/dre style production, etc?

The Pharcyde


Ice Cube


Coolio


Scarface (you may know this beat if you like Jean Grae)


DJ Quik


A Tribe Called Quest

[Cuthbert]

Thanks a lot bros. Goof, will get those albums cheers mate.

Cheers bro. This is exactly what I'm looking for. I went through Ice Cube's discog but for me the beats were not very interesting. I am a fan of The Pharcyde but their sound is more mellow to my ears. Same with ATCQ. I am a fan of those too but it's not the sound I'm looking for.

Some examples, my favourite tracks from the Warren G album are 'Do You See' and 'Super Soul Sis'.

Too $hort


Da Brat (kinda sorta)


Funk Doobiest (maybe)


Brotha Lynch Hung


Master P (kinda)

ever listen to nate dogg's solo album? g funk heaven tbh.





then there's always the obvious... 2pac from around "me against the world" to "don killuminati." "all eyes on me" is probably the closest to what you're looking for, but all 3 are worth a listen if you are into that kind of sound.




i would even go so far as to recommend master p's "ice cream man," if you are the type that can stomach ignorant street rap like me.

^Cant believe I forgot to mention Nate Dogg.. he's probably closer to any what Christian is looking for than anyone else I can think of.
