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.
Can anyone recommend me some left-field hip-hop artists that are actually bringing something new to the table?
John Turner
Eli Butler
Shabazz Palaces
Luis Ross
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
Ryan Hill
Gavin Long
Dylan Jackson
so are you in favor or not in favor of death grips?
Easton Wright
B L A C K I E
Gavin Russell
this
black up sounds like live.love.asap without all this "dude druds" shit
David Sanchez
LITERALLY no one else if it wasnt for production
Luis Butler
you literally sound like everyone else
stick to soundcloud threads
Grayson Evans
Black Up came out 4 months before live.love.asap
Ethan Bennett
busdriver?
Charles Martinez
this is like slightly different than Drake
Bentley Young
Purple Swag came out on his debut mixtape month before Black Up, and Live.Love.ASAP is basically a giant extention of this song.
Christopher Cook
Then we can both agree they are not derivative of each other?
David Murphy
kill yourself
Jace Russell
Busdriver.
Danny Brown, but only Atrocity Exhibition (his other albums are fucking shit).
Saul Williams.
Nathaniel Lopez
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.
Luke Moore
>his other albums are fucking shit
careful with that opinion u might put someones eye out
Daniel Ross
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.
Dylan Roberts
i never said it though, i just said that they sound similar
James Powell
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.
Aaron Rogers
Blake Evans
Jacob Miller
>experimental
William Reed
John Thompson
Fuck off
Samuel Myers
Nolan Gray
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.
Ryan Scott
NLDW is their best album.
Ayden Jackson
I thought the title was in reference to the novel of the same name
Xavier Watson
Trayce Chapman
