Your first and last step is listening to MF DOOM. Nothing's greater.

don't
This, there are a few greats like , liquid swords, illmatic and some more experimental underground things.
The genre itself is stale and riddled with cliche after cliche with pretty much every modern rap album having shallow empty headed themes (inb4 hurr hurr TPAB is conscious and deep cause whitey hurt blacks).

this is the only one worth a listen desu
Non-meme answer: refer to this chart. Choose one of the six starting albums, go from there.
Tbh I'd say either GKMC or Midnight Marauders are the best starting point. Maybe Illmatic.
Otherwise, just tell me what kinda genres you like and I'll give you some recs.

You should start with the classics, or if you really don't get it or something, start with the more accesible, like Kanye for example.
I've never understood why a random Madlib tape is the intro album for instrumental hip-hop and not Donuts
>Kendshit Gaymar as starting point

Start with something fun but not as intellectual as an illmatic.
The Pharcyde A bizzare...
That's a really fun hip hop album
Then definitely listen to MF DOOM whole discog
>instrumental
>not starting with endtroducing
FUCK OFF
this chart is alright, but a ton of essential albums is missing there
This .jpg is kinda shit m8
Illmatic
Doggystyle or ready to die, nas illmatic is boring
Slim Shady LP > Illmatic/36 Chambers > Ready To Die >The Infamous > Liquid Swords > Aquemini > Deltron 3030 > Black On Both Sides > 2001 > Madvillainy
You should be able to appreciate hip hop, once you have listened to these albums.
Bounce dat ass bitch
You start at the beginning, like you would anything else.
> whitey hurt blacks
He does though so get over it you pale neanderthal cave beast
i personally started with Midnight Marauders, Illmatic, Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers), and The Infamous. those pretty much paved the way for me to figure out what else i wanted to hear. there are a lot of greats, and what draws you in will be different. for some people it's Madvillainy, for others it could be Kendrick (i don't see how but i'm trying to be fair). just listen through some of what's been suggested in the thread and branch out on your own
