Illmatic is a very very good 90s New York rap album that doesn't really represent what rap sounds like outside of New York in the 90s.
listen to it, enjoy it if you like it, don't hold it up as a template for rap you listen to after.
Jose Butler
Fuck off with your cultural appropriation, whitely
Easton Clark
Listen to The Predator by Ice Cube
Isaac Gutierrez
I dont listen to k pop
Jaxon Thomas
No, it's shit.
Chase Reyes
Listen to superior black electronic genres like Techno, House or Breaks
Nathan Mitchell
Ready to Die is also a good place to start. Nice beats, nice flow, decent lyricism.
Ryder Gray
NY state of mind will leave you empty. It is simply the greatest rap song of all time
Parker Hernandez
Biggie is so boring. OP listen to section. 80
Matthew Watson
Nobody gets into hip hop these days by listening to the classics. Listen to well received modern albums and then work backwards based on the themes you like from modern stuff (gangsta vs conscious vs abstract etc.)
Robert Lewis
Pic should be official entree point for hip hop
Benjamin Turner

Benjamin Morales
It probably depends where you are coming from (musicaly I mean). I find deltron 3030 very accessible while being very good
Dylan Murphy

Joseph Wood

Ryder Hall

Gabriel Gomez

Cooper Jackson
start with the 80s and go from there
by all means necessary/takes a nation of millions are good starting points
Nathaniel Lopez
Posting 80s starting points now

late registration
modal soul
madvillany

exmilitary
good kid, m.A.A.d city
black up
a toothpaste suburb
this should be a pretty good start. its roughtly sorted by year but i left out a bunch of artists and subgenres i dont like but this is still pretty varied so you will probably find something you like and can then go look for similar
Joshua Foster
hmm, idk why but i feel you'd like some new york shit. try joey badass - 1999 and B4.DA.$$ are his best projects. then work backwards to the classic 90s stuff, nas biggie etc
Tyler Gonzalez
You don't start with Kool Keith there. You want to start or with pic related, then go to Sex Style, then that album.
Ian Parker
illmatic is probably the greatest rap record of all time but it wont really mean anything to you if you dont already understand hip hop or the context of the albums release
Thomas Diaz
Pic related did it for me.
Right mix of being poppy enough to be easy to listen to, but also good lyrics and depth that made me want to pay attention to and appreciate them.
Luke Nelson
Exmilitary might be a little challenging
Lincoln Turner
Pic Related and Tommy Wright III are easy listens

Liam Lee
fuck just that song, listen to the whole album
Joshua Carter
definitely mix some old and new stuff if you actually want to enjoy the music and not just listen to it as a curiosity thing. id say start with good kid mad city and 36 chambers but thats highly subjective, i just like those best personally.
Owen Campbell
'95 was the best year of rap hands down G.O.A.T.
Leo Carter
Try the new shit:
Lil yachty, Lil boat, Lil steamboat, Lil frigate, Lil man'owar and their gang moniker fleet mob
