Is there literally ANY photo of DOOM without his mask? And I mean recently, not KMD era.

Any fave albums/tracks? Dunno where to start

>aesop rock
first one I thought of but I'm not a big fan otherwise

skelethon is one of my fav albums
none shall pass
new one is dope
labor days is classic, idk

Labor days and TIK, my boy.

LD is 10/10 and TIK is way more accessible imo. Skelethon is relatively accessible too.

Seconding Aes, also a big fan of Open Mike Eagle and El-P's non-RtJ stuff

El-P's solo albums are dope, RTJ is hit/miss

Start with None Shall Pass and Labor days

If you like NSP check out everything he released from Fast Cars onward

If you like LD check out Appleseed, Daylight EP, and Float

If you liked all of that take a chance on Music for Earthworms

If and only if you believe he can do no wrong after listening to all of those, prove yourself wrong with Bazooka Tooth

Exactly

q's albums gonna be lit

haha bazooka tooth is probably my least fav as well

Anyone got any recommendations for albums with really cool beats / production? Stuff like El-P's solo work, MF Doom or cLOUDDEAD. Also have a chart.

buck 65 has some really interesting production, checkout Talkin' Honky Blues

Gonna get crucified for this opinion, but Kool A.D. is my absolute favorite lyricist. And I've listened to 80-90% of the hip-hop posted here.

If he focused his craft more and was less jokey, he'd be a GOAT contender.

It's got some good stuff on it but overall it feels like a weird misstep in the catalog

I guess it makes sense since it was his first full length after his breakdown

No hate from me, he's dope.

The horoscopes he writes for paper mag are pretty hilarious too

Also Jonwayne is killing it right now, he just came back to making music after a 2-year hiatus and dropped 3 singles one after another, 2 of which were fucking incredible and 1 that was still pretty good. Incredibly unique lyricist, can't name another rapper that sounds remotely like him,

This chart is fucked lol.
Tyler the Creator two deviations under Madvillain? Get the fuck outta here

GZA

wolf should definitely go under conceptual

Float: Float, Big Bang, Skip Town
Labor Days: Daylight, Battery, No Regrets, 9-5ers Anthem
Bazooka Tooth: Babies with Guns
None Shall Pass: the whole thing
Skelethon: Leisureforce, Gopher Guts
The Impossible Kid: the whole thing
Fast Cars: Holy Smokes
Lice: Katz, So Strange Here
Are You Gonna Eat That: Church Pants, Grubstake, Meter Feeder
Bestiary:the whole thing

after that go pretend that you enjoy earthworms and appleseed like everyone else

whether created this disaster is embarrassingly out of touch across multiple eras, so not much different to the people who try to make these hip hop generals happen really

Hey fuck you Appleseed is legitimately good

Diabolic
Ill Bill
Immortal Technique
GZA

In that order

What does Sup Forums think of this?

Tablo

Who else /atribecalledquest/ here?

>favorite album
>favorite song
for me it's midnight marauders and we can get down

Jak Progresso

i didn't even know he rapped

...

Kinda relevant question, who was it that said 'if it was only about lyrics, killer mike would have a grammy'? Or some shit like that...

Good voice, bad flow

he's a big guy

Listen to this shit youtube.com/shared?ci=PjIVALYN-ac

Oh, Hood politics Kendrick Lamar

I gotta say though his stuff with Killer Mike on Run the Jewels
