Hey Sup Forums. I grew up thinking most rap was just shit, but hey I guess Black Eyed Peas is okay sometimes, and Rapper's Delight is legit.
Turns out I like Frank Ocean, A Tribe Called Quest, Nujabes, Stromae, etc., I decide to look up wtf is this, turns out terrible West Coast Hip Hop was just super popular because niggers, but Alternative/East Coast stuff is pretty cool ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
So what shit do I need to listen to? Thanks Sup Forums
hi, please do not self-promote your terrible omega-tier vaporwave in my threads ever again
thank you, reported

if you're ever stuck for something to listen to, just youtube a couple of the albums and check out a song or two. that way you can find who works for you and who doesnt.

Bones, Yung Lean, Aesop Rock, OFWGKTA, Death Grips.
Every white guy getting into Hip Hop immediately discards the West, but you're a fucking fool if you do.
Madlib/Quasimoto, Blu, Kendrick Lamar, DJ Quik, Deltron 3030, The Pharcyde and Freestyle Fellowship could all go toe to toe with the best of the East Coast easily.
Caleb Miller
You'd probably like Joey Bada$$. Terrible name, great rapper.
I'd have expected people to have more of a problem with Quik desu
I don't sign off on the Kendrick hate at all. GKMC and TPAB are easily the best Hip Hop albums of the 10's. By a fucking mile.
Bentley Walker
not even this guy but >doesnt like 93 'til infinity shit taste
Michael Hernandez
I hate you OP but I'll rec anyway Check out Little Brother, Kool Keith, Prince Paul, Outkast, De La Soul, The Roots, Fugees, Michael Franti and Spearhead, Hieroglyphics, and Digable Planets.
Having said that it is all nigger shit and if you don't learn to understand that you'll never truly understand or enjoy hip hop. Fuck you
Hudson Evans
I can't fuck with anyone who wants to talk about hip hop and doesn't like Kendrick. I understand subjectivity and opinions and whatever but just shut the fuck up
Jordan Anderson
Agreed. The guy is way above par, even if he is overrated.
This too. Kool Keith especially.
Justin Lee
this
and this
and this. OP you gotta learn to appreciate where hip hop comes from, who makes it and why. I hate you too
Anthony Reed
Rap music is pretty stupid
Ian Jackson
Actually OP if you really want to educate yourself and move beyond the alt-rap label which is inherently limited you should try Ready to Die.
I very much understand an aversion to gangster rap because it seems and often is basically retarded, but Ready to Die is transcendent while remaining extremely authentic. It's got the confidence and bravado gangster rap is known for alongside the self-loathing and world weariness that are inherent in the 'nigger' experience.
