The Rap & Hip-Hop Recommendation Thread

pourmeanother · 02-28-2011, 08:06 PM

I haven't found something new (to me) that has stuck. Tried Lil Wayne and Wiz Khalifa- opinion hasn't changed there. Was recommended Macklemore because I like Seattle hip-hop- nothing. Tried some stuff that MBers were all over, like Das Racist and OFWGKTA- nope. Went back through some Blu material- uninspired.

I feel sort of like I've passed the apex of my listening... in that I opened myself up to so much music, listened to it and weeded out the bad, and now I've refined my taste to the point of closing myself off and thinking pretty much everything else is shiat.

Change my mind with some random recommendations?

I know he's not all random and new but have you listened to Gutter Rainbow at all? I had that album on repeat when I first heard it. It's Talib Kweli's latest material

i second this. Excellent production almost saves kweli's straight out-of-a-textbook delivery.
