Fractured Hip Hop
What is this? It's just my name for the kind of hip hop music I'd like to hear, stuff with kind of an experimental or off-kilter bent. I listen to some that I'd describe this way, but wish I knew of more. So here's a place for me, and hopefully, other people to post about weird hip hop they love.
First up... http://www.syffal.com/sites/default/...-interview.jpg Billy Woods See that tiny, inscrutable photo of him above? That's the kind of thing you find when you look up this guy and it's a pretty good summation of his music: distant, mysterious, abstract. A lot of people here already are familiar with him but I thought he was worth starting this thing with. Some samples: |
Will be keeping an eye on this thread. Can't do a Billy Woods mention without a shoutout to Armand Hammer, who I like better tbh. Woods joins Elucid and makes some great ****.

maybe youll like this:
probably more similar to death grips (tho I think theyre much more interesting) but still. they had one of my favorite hip hop albums of 2014, Nausea. could see some on mb digging them at the very least. |
Also...
https://cis-static-content.s3.amazon...s/k_the_I.jpeg K-the-I??? One of my favorite musical discoveries of the past decade or so. His approach to music is like a whirling vortex of sounds and ideas. It's hard to even imagine what the process is that goes into making music that sounds like this. I love it. Some samples: |
^Nausea is a great record, I was just listening to that today actually.
EDIT: K-the-I??? rules as well for obvious reasons. |
Ever listen to Ratking? I really like the song "Protein" it's got some choppy (in a good way) beats, but there was no video

I co-sign everything posted so far. I'll post some early examples on the more hardcore side of glitchy off-kilter Hip Hop.
The Beatnigs: Perhaps THE FIRST Industrial Hip Hop album ever. Techno Animal: This group were one of the first exponents of this type of production, and they do it as well as anyone. Consolidated: Okay maybe this isn't too hardcore, but it was released in 1989, which is pretty swell. 2nd Gen: Surprised nobody mentioned Dälek already, but I suppose they are a given at this point. The Bug: Instrumental, but the same type of vibe as other industrial Hip Hop artists. Ice: Basically Techno Animal members, and EL-P. Could it go wrong? I'll post more later. |
Two great german rappers. Not sure how it sounds if you don't know German though, the best part are the lyrics.
2h company, a russian group. Same as above. No idea how it sounds, if you can't understand it. Babel Fishh Deep Puddle Dynamics |
