Hip-Hop Thread Genre • Page 704

J5 is still one of my favourite rap albums from my youth. Remember hearing Concrete Schoolyard for the first time at a house party when I was 17/18 and not wanting to listen to anything but them and Ugly Duckling.

 

Ok, I see your point. Instead of making threads, I’ll post more in here.

anyway, idk if Yves Tumor is necessarily hip hop, but he’s a POC. His new album is in my top 5 so far. So good.

 

Not really hip hop, but his recent tracks definitely have a hip hop feel to them. I'd love to hear someone spit on the first track off his new album.

His thread for his last album a year or so back was a prime example of people not paying attention to album threads. I think the first 20 posts were just me and @username just going back and forth haha

 

Backpack as fuck

 

Damn right

 

Listening to J5 now. Man, Chali 2na has one of the best voices in hip hop. Deep, smooth and almost musical. So good.

 

And me. Mine were the last two posts and from a couple weeks apart from each other :(

 

Sim has like one flow lol

 

not much i can say that others have said better, but its defiantly always made me sad how little people engage with hip-hop on this site.

 

so ive been slowly going through Outkasts discog in chronilogical order by picking up them up on vinyls every couple months and I just hit Aquemini. Id like to apologize to the universe for only hearing this album for first time in 2020.

 

I just thinks it sucks that a band like Blink 182 could make an album that's literally terrible lol that already happened and people on this site would rather talk about how bad it is or find the tiny pieces on that album that they like, than talk about a hip hop album.

 

one of the best, most innovative rap albums of all time. Kendrick's TPAB simply would not exist without it.

 

I mean, genuinely, do you want a bunch of those dorks in here attempting to talk about Polo G or something?

 

Blink 182 is just one example, there plenty of decent users on this site that don't listen to hip hop

 

on the subject of listening to classics for the first time, i'm checking out De La Soul's 3 Feet High and Rising for the first time. absolute flames. excited to dig deeper into their other old stuff. it sucks it took me this long since none of it's on streaming.

 

I feel weird saying this considering its music so widely popular already/everyone already knows this, but hearing those horns on SpottieOttieDopaliscious for the first time was truly transcendent. That melody/entire song invokes so many emotions through melody alone.

 

Gonna hit up the new Gunna and Polo G today. Was never in love with either of them before, maybe this will change my opinion. On Gunna now, some nice melodies on it.

 

Re-listening to Kush and Orange Juice for the first time in nearly a decade. It turned 10 in April. I've always thought it was Wiz's best project

 

Kush & OJ is so damn good.

 

I mean, wouldn’t an attempt be progress?

 

Burn After Rolling was the only Wiz release I fucked with. Never big on him

 

Are there? I guess I just don't interact with them.

The people I fuck with on this site mostly frequent this thread. If you have good relationships with people who you know aren't into the genre, make an attempt to get them into it by utilizing your personal connection with them. I know for a fact there were a ton of people on AP who got into the genre because the people they associated with in other threads were into it.

 

I've listened to so much classic hip hop in the past year or two. Outside of a couple of albums, I never knew where to start. Plus I was still downloading music and my laptop was crap and I only really downloaded recent stuff. But once I finally bit the bullet and got Spotify, I haven't looked back. I've been kicking myself for the past year for not listening to more ATCQ. Or The Pharacyde. Or Jeru The Damaja. Or Digable Planets. Hell, even old EPMD, Boogie Down Productions and Gangstarr. I always loved their late 90s stuff, but outside of a few tracks, I was ignorant to a lot of it. Like I said... KICKING MYSELF.

I always thought I loved hip hop, but the combination of getting Spotify, watching Hip Hop Evolution and having a lot of free time at work made me realise just how little I knew. Made me appreciate it SO much more.

 

Yeah, I've never thought he was a particularly gifted artist or anything but he was big when I was in college and I do associate his early work with happier times. It's nice to revisit.

 

Anyone check out the new Styles P album that came out a couple of weeks ago? This song is so hard.
