Can anyone recommend me some left-field hip-hop artists that are actually bringing something new to the table?
95% of rap music is derivative and I want to see what the genre can actually offer.

Shabazz Palaces
this is the answer hipsters give when they don't want to try but give an artist they think you haven't heard of
shabazz palaces is derivative as fuck
so are you in favor or not in favor of death grips?

this
black up sounds like live.love.asap without all this "dude druds" shit
LITERALLY no one else if it wasnt for production
you literally sound like everyone else
stick to soundcloud threads
Black Up came out 4 months before live.love.asap
busdriver?
this is like slightly different than Drake
Purple Swag came out on his debut mixtape month before Black Up, and Live.Love.ASAP is basically a giant extention of this song.
Then we can both agree they are not derivative of each other?
kill yourself
Busdriver.
Danny Brown, but only Atrocity Exhibition (his other albums are fucking shit).
Saul Williams.
Atrocity Exhibition is fucking trash dude. It's basic as fuck and only a pleb would even consider it slightly experimental or forward thinking. He basically raps the same over about the same topics on slightly different beats.
You're spot on with Busdriver and Saul Williams though. Props.
>his other albums are fucking shit
careful with that opinion u might put someones eye out
Sorry -- it's not a trash album but if you consider it in the context of this thread, it is trash. Even the title is lazy as fuck.
i never said it though, i just said that they sound similar
Eyedea is gone now but this album is a fucking masterpiece. Instrumentals are very industrial and unconvential, lyrics and vocal delivery are just incredible.
Definitely worth listening to.
>experimental
Fuck off
I agree with this post on so many levels.
Besides Death Grips the only things I can think of is M.I.A., Ka and maybe Swet Shop Boys. Idk, I like their instrumentals a lot.
NLDW is their best album.
I thought the title was in reference to the novel of the same name
