I apologize if this is slightly off-topic, but this would make an excellent hip hop beat...

i'm gonna make a request for recommendations since i honestly have been ignoring hip hop since about 2009-2010 or so and it seems like a few of you have kept on top of it.

i don't care if it's mainstream or underground or whatever my only qualifier is that it has to sound good and also nothing too fruity like drake. not to sound like a homophobe or whatever but i don't like soft rap music like that it just feels like a contradiction to me.

so yea.. what i like the most is 90's east coast grimey rap music like bcc, mobb deep, wu tang, etc. i also like g-funk just not quite as much and i also like outkast (first 3 albums) as well just not quite as much. same for 90's atcq/de la soul/the roots/digable planets/pharcyde/[insert 'conscious' (see: pussy) rap group here]. i also like more modern southern trap**** like carter 2 era/mixtape wayne and whatnot but i know you guys hate that ****. it's nothing mind blowing as far as creativity goes but it's decent music to me which is all that matters at the end of the day. i can tolerate some underground **** just not if it's too awkward or whatever. this is decent to me:

but this is not:

(sorry goofle)

so yea... what you guys got for me?

I don't know how much underground you know, and most of the music I listen to is from before you stopped listening to hiphop. I think most of what I like you won't but I'll toss out a few names to test the waters.

Maybe, Oktober Zero?

Krizz Kaliko

RA Scion/Common Market
Crayz Walz
Ikon the Mic King

I've made threads or discussed most of the above on this forum already.

Recs for noisy hip hop along the lines of Dalek or Moodie Black? I'm open to the glitchier side of things too.

Yes I already know about clipping. Not the biggest fan tbh.
