Nas

I have a list of personal favorites too if you're interested.

(2/3)

...

>Game
>Future
>Deathgrips
>Lil B

I can't say I agree with those

Also Drake isn't a rapper?
I thought he was r&b singer

yeah, I've listened to most (but album per artist mostly, except tribe), but never heard of Pete and CL

will check it out

He raps quite frequently on his albums.
How much Drake have you heard?

jedi mind tricks - violent by design

if you like aggressive, lyrical, well-produced hip-hop it's a godsend

thanks dude, gonna be really helpful

Fucking this.

Fantastic taste, sir.

>implying those genres are mutually exclusive
Imagine being this much of a pleb

Either rap OR sing, I can't stand these rappers who try to sing but can't, but since it sounds so similar to rap they get away with shitty singing. Rap singing is the worse

So...Andre 3000, Cee Lo Green, Chance the Rapper, Childish Gambino, Ol Dirty Bastard and Lauryn Hill all suck now?

I mean they sing AND rap so clearly...

one of the most underrated albums of the 90's

Wu Tang Clan: Enter the Wu-Tang 36 Chambers

>Mafioso/Crime Noir

Lil Wayne: The Carter 3

>Alternative
Deep Puddle Dynamics: The taste of Rain-Why Kneel?
Clouddead: Self Titled

>Melodic
Drake: Take Care
Childish Gambino: Because the Internet
Kanye West: 808's and Heartbreak
Kid Cudi: Man on the Moon

>Kino
Kanye West: Late Registration (I put this over MBDTF because the latter's unconventional hip hop sounds is what sets it apart rather than its traditional hip hop sounds)
Kendrick Lamar: To Pimp a Butterfly
Shabazz Palaces: Black Up
Jay-Z: The Blueprint

>Instrumental
DJ Shadow: Endtroducing
Nujabes: Modal Soul

This will give you a solid foundation. The only thing I left out was West Coast, because I don't have the best background on it.

Oh I forgot a must listen for the melodic section is Lauryn Hill's Miseducation of Lauryn Hill. I'd even say listen to that before any of the others.

Stop listening to rap
