I used to look down on Hip Hop but after years of resisting the Hip Hop bug, I've decided to embrace it. I might as well get used to it. I have a prog/folk/Latin rock music background and I can't seem to get into hip hop, as hard as I try. Can someone suggest me some good hip hip/rap acts that can appeal to my sensibilities?

No point, OP. That's like saying you want to get into McDonalds after years of healthy eating.
Easton Murphy
You have a gift OP, accept it.
Elijah Taylor
What have you already listened to but not liked? (the "hard as I try" bit makes it sound like that's been the case with you so far)
Josiah Jenkins
What have you tried and not liked?
Adrian Martinez
Just enjoy the music you like, you silly twat.
That said, I'd say check out The College Dropout - listen to 'All Falls Down'. The album is hardly prog, but it is great.
William Thompson
you need to develop a chip on your shoulder to enjoy rap or metal
if you grew up in a broken home with a single parent its alot easier

Jack Miller
Kanye, Jay Z, lamar. Basically all the big names
But I did grow up in a broken home.
Grayson Fisher
How silly do you like your music?
Should it be easy digestible or complex?
Should it be upbeat, melancholic, or aggressive?
Ethan Flores
all of the above and none of the above
Isaiah Stewart
Complex and melancholic. Sometimes aggressive when Im not in my bipolar depression phase but still a tad bit complex.
Alexander Myers

wouldn't call myself a hip-head, but i tried to think of a few off the top off my head that might stand a chance of appealing and tried to spread it out across eras a little bit
Wyatt Wilson
I meant upbeat, not aggressive
Oliver Gonzalez
Have you listened to the classics? Illmatic, 36 Chambers, Doggystyle, and Born to Die are what got me into rap.
Hudson Cruz
I made the most varied selection possible from what is on my hip hop playlist so you should enjoy at least one of these.

OP you have to go through all phases before you can enjoy good hip hop, start off with old school, then go through a tyler the creator phase or eminiem or some shit and eventually youll end up somewhere and youll realise that the hip hopyou used to listen to is shit
Justin Brooks
Hmm, have you considered continuing to listen to prog?
Jose Davis
