Nuchoking: Do You Even Hip-Hop

JustJoe. 03.15.21	i got nothing for you except maybe vakill
Avagantamos 03.15.21	sputnik be sleeping on spaceghostpurrp hard
Nuchoking 03.15.21	Not checked out Vakill as far as I'm aware, will look to check out. Spaceghostpurrp is alright, listened to Nasa Gang but not much beyond that.
ConcubinaryCode 03.15.21	List is pretty great. Make a part 2
Relinquished 03.15.21	you’d like dälek
Keyblade 03.15.21	czech children of the corn
Nuchoking 03.15.21	Part 2? Not right now, but cheers... Glad you like. Haven't listened to dälek in years and certainly haven't nearly enough time checking out... you got any suggestions on where to get started?
Nuchoking 03.15.21	Typically only 1 song on Spotify for Children of Corn, will have to get on YouTube and see what's up.
deathofasalesman 03.15.21	absence ^ i started with dalek's "from filthy tongues" and it was too weird for me. took me longer to get into them bc of that
Nuchoking 03.15.21	Don't mind weird but I have a line with hip-hop, cheers for the rec, will check when I get the time.
Jash 03.15.21	Lojii - Lo&Behold L’Orange and Jeremiah Jae - The Night Took Us In Like Family Quakers - Quakers Ka - Descendants of Cain NOTOraps - Death My Irony Surpasses All Others
Avagantamos 03.15.21	"Spaceghostpurrp is alright, listened to Nasa Gang but not much beyond that." not much of SGP's good stuff is on spotify. they only have like 1/2 of blvcklvnd rvdix 66.6
Nuchoking 03.15.21	Pretty much love anything L'Orange lends a hand on... I like the album mentioned. Only other I've checked is Ka, which falls a bit flat on me for some reason. Look forward to hearing the others, thanks appreciated.
Nuchoking 03.15.21	What's peek spaceghostpurrp to check out if the Spotify selection isn't all that?
Keyblade 03.15.21	"Typically only 1 song on Spotify for Children of Corn, will have to get on YouTube and see what's up" omg, the collector's edition used to be on there in full. goddammit that sucks
Avagantamos 03.15.21	imo the best SGP releases are: Larry Bird Season (especially the extended version) Blvcklvnd Rvdix 66.6 B.M.W. Blackland Radio 66.6 Pt. 2 -Ep. 1 Dark Angel Project Guccii Mane Miami Carol City Legend Florida Finna Kill da Whole World Overkill 2 The Winter's Mine
combustion07 03.15.21	Check Stik Figa out
Nuchoking 03.15.21	Nice one, I'll start at the top and see where I get to.
Nuchoking 03.15.21	"Check Stik Figa out" Will do
ReiniEden 03.15.21	Best rappers I've ever heard are Eyedea Kristoff Krane Joe Horton of No Bird Sing Sadistik Cage (some of his stuff) Aesop Rock Danny Brown that's about it
Yep321 03.16.21	Check Tha Grimm Teachaz
RadioSuicide 03.16.21	props for 100, 98, 79, and 31. I saw wu-tang front row at a reunion show they did for riot fest 2014. method man sprayed champagne all over me and my friends. it was cool.
Nuchoking 03.16.21	"Best rappers I've ever heard are...." cheers pretty familiar with all mentioned but thanks, couple suggested are on the list and Eyedea was certainly close. "Check Tha Grimm Teachaz" Will do, down on the list. Sounds like good memories RS
Nuchoking 03.16.21	I see... because I don't rate some artists as highly as yourself the whole list becomes irrelevant, I'm more than aware of all those mentioned I just don't rate them as highly as you evidently do. I'm not questioning the impact on these people on the culture, I simply choose not to put them in the list... which I would of said if you'd have asked.
Jash 03.16.21	lol at a lack of Immortal Technique making this list “irrelevant” Forgot to mention because of Armand Hammer you should check Elucid’s solo stuff if you haven’t already. That new Armand Hammer X The Alchemist record is going to go so hard
widowslaugh123 03.16.21	Immortal technique is pretty cringe from the little bit I heard Sick list bro Some classics but also a few curveballs. Good shit
Nuchoking 03.16.21	I'll be sure to check out ELUCID's solo stuff, I've sleeping on that big fan of Billy Woods and obviously love the work they do together on Armand Hammer. I also second that could anything go wrong with that collaboration, too good. "Some classics but also a few curveballs. Good shit" Thanks for that, appreciated.
Jash 03.16.21	“ Um, IT's Revolutionary Vol 1 and 2 were immense within the culture” Immense in what sense? The fact he was able to self release off profits from his battle rapping is neat and all, but his style suits battles way more than it does full length albums imo, and to say that he was more influential than a lot of people on the list above is wild
Nuchoking 03.16.21	"Um, IT's Revolutionary Vol 1 and 2 were immense within the culture" If you say so, as I said I'm not really getting into the cultural impact anyway. It's a personal taste thing and I simply don't like his stuff particularly. Your right I'm not massively familiar with Lux,if it's the same person I'm thinking of. Only thing I think I've heard is a track called Boom Box... who knows, please direct me to a release if I've been sleeping on them but yeah can't say much more.
Emim 03.16.21	Needs some more Big Pun
Emim 03.16.21	But you got Hieroglyphics so I can't be too mad
Jash 03.16.21	Buying a label that hasn’t produced anything seemingly essential minus maybe one or two of his albums (depending who you ask) doesn’t seem immensely important to the culture to me, but hey at least he kept the paycheques coming to some artists so big ups for that
Nuchoking 03.16.21	"Needs some more Big Pun" Fair shout... glad I appeased with Hieroglyphics mention though.
Relinquished 03.16.21	almost every artist lol
Drifter 03.17.21	incredible list
Nuchoking 03.17.21	Glad you approve Drifter
Drifter 03.17.21	I love the inclusion of Bow Down. That's such a crazy good album
Storm In A Teacup 03.17.21	I even am hiphop
someone 03.17.21	sometimes i hop, sometimes i even hip-hop
combustion07 03.18.21	LET'S ARGUE ABOUT IMMORTAL TECHNIQUE RIGHT.FUCKING.NOW.
ian b 03.18.21	good list but missing hella underground stuff
Drifter 03.18.21	This is probably the best mix of styles, eras, and popularity I’ve ever seen on here ngl
Nuchoking 03.18.21	'I love the inclusion of Bow Down. That's such a crazy good album' Cant argue with that, think I listened to this prior to anything else Ice Cube had been involved in up to that time, always loved it from the off. 'lots of good stuff in here tho mr nuchoking props for including VV and not just putting madvillainy in' I near put MM.. FOOD in there as well, but thought I was pushing it 'good list but missing hella underground stuff' What saying, what recs you got? "This is probably the best mix of styles, eras, and popularity I’ve ever seen on here ngl" Nice!
Nuchoking 03.18.21	First Featured List... Banging! Looking forward to spending some time working through those suggested. "sometimes i hop, sometimes i even hip-hop" I guess it depends which day it is right?
farmerobama 03.18.21	Props for the four owls, heavily underrated
Nuchoking 03.18.21	'Props for the four owls, heavily underrated' For sure, I fell off a little bit with UK Hip-Hop after my initially introduction, which would of been around the time I was in college (Task Force, Skinnyman, Roots Manuva etc) so actually missed Nature's Greatest Mystery at the time of release. But yeah a couple years later came across High Focus Records and it introduced me to it amongst many others.
chemicalmarriage 03.18.21	Every rapper I've ever heard of you're welcome
Nuchoking 03.18.21	"Every rapper I've ever heard of you're welcome" Strange way to sign off that admission, I'm presuming your talking about yourself? If there is anything in particular you like, I'm happy to suggest some others for you.
chemicalmarriage 03.18.21	It was in reference to you. Cherry pick off any one of these and enjoy! https://rateyourmusic.com/charts/esoteric/album/all-time/g:abstract-hip-hop/exc:live,archival/ https://rateyourmusic.com/charts/top/album/all-time/g:hip-hop/exc:live,archival/ https://rateyourmusic.com/charts/esoteric/album/all-time/g:hip-hop/exc:live,archival/
LinksAwakening 03.20.21	You should check out Funcrusher Plus by Company Flow, and Nocturnal by Heltah Skeltah. Lots of good ones here for sure though.
Avagantamos 03.20.21	Funcrusher Plus for sure. it's old El-P, which is the best El-P
Nuchoking 03.22.21	Thanks for the recs; Vakill; Hadn’t realised at the time but already listened to The Darkest Cloud & Worst Fears Confirmed – The Later being my preferred album, wouldn’t say its my favourite stuff but easy enough to bop along to. JustJoe Spaceghostpurp; As much as I vibe with this and enjoyed it, I personally struggle to consider this ‘top’ level Hip-Hop. Started with Larry Bird Season as recommended and there isn’t much going on lyrically for me, so as much as there is certainly a place for this and I really did enjoy it, I couldn’t consider it on the same level as others. Avagantamos Children of the Corn; The Last Chapter - I think the best thing to have come out of this was Big L, interesting to hear this none the less though, as I wasn’t aware of the group and who featured in it. Keyblade Dalek; Absence, is fire although and something I be sure to return back to, I need to be in the right frame of mind to listen to this but will continue to explore his back catalogue. Relinquished Lojii; - I must have heard that Nipsey sample in about 3 or 4 different tracks now (patience – lo&behold). Loving this dude, this is just going straight in the rotation… reminds me a bit of MAXO. Quakers; Completely forgot about that S/T album, absolutely cracking hadn’t realised they II – The Next Wave so going to get on that. NOTOraps; Yeah like this, not sure but feel like I’ve heard a track before possibly Eleanor Suite, it sound familiar. Jash Stik Fia; Could tell straight away he was apart of Mellow Music it’s pretty nice… But Cold Central -Standard Time (prod L’Orange) that tracks fire. Combustion07 Tha Grimm Teachaz; Yep, just Yep!!!! Yep321
Nuchoking 03.22.21	"You should check out Funcrusher Plus by Company Flow, and Nocturnal by Heltah Skeltah. Lots of good ones here for sure though." With out getting into the El-P debate that Avagantamos raises Funcrusher is a big omission on my part, albums killer. Just checking out Heltah Skeltah, don't know what's up with not checking this out before, as I recognise that art work... might of been subconscious due to the name being similar to Helta Skelta, which is some stuff I have zero interest in.
widowslaugh123 03.22.21	Check Babbletron-Mechanical Royalty Needs way more love for how good is
GodLovesUgly 05.25.21	Incredible list, so much range!
Drifter 05.25.21	wowow this is an amazing list I forgot about it
Pikazilla 05.25.21	good list no chief queef, soulja bitch, or lil poop to be found on here
Lasssie 05.25.21	I do hip hop often when im out runnin Very nice list man
Nuchoking 06.07.21	Just thought I'd swing by, not expecting any more comments on this but alas. GodLovesUgly; cheers, no slug though... hope your not disappointed Drifter; thanks for swinging back by Pika; High praise from yourself... see you commenting all the time, wasn't sure you were into Hip Hop, so glad you like. Lasseg; Makes sense, either that or something angry I take into the gym with me.
Grungil 08.10.21	He just copied 100 classics and paste em on random order.
Ryus 08.10.21	"good list no chief queef, soulja bitch, or lil poop to be found on here" monumental L
Ryus 08.10.21	kinda bored of stuff like this but i used to like slum village, quas, pete rock, and jeru a lot. dont rly listen to this kind of hip hop anymore though
Storm In A Teacup 08.10.21	Yeah a lot of modern day stuff or the Houston Screxas era are more my jam
parksungjoon 08.10.21	lil poop lol
Storm In A Teacup 08.10.21	Lil Peep did write a song called Lil Poop 💩 tho
parksungjoon 08.10.21	ryus i ever send u this? https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLzwsdun_bPP9a0Cun8Yp3z8bRgNdJAHR6
botb 08.10.21	Sput is wildly sleeping on griselda records too
botb 08.10.21	“ Best rappers I've ever heard are Eyedea Kristoff Krane Joe Horton of No Bird Sing Sadistik Cage (some of his stuff) Aesop Rock Danny Brown that's about it” Tell us you’re white from the suburbs without using those words
Storm In A Teacup 08.10.21	@botb Hollow head lead dumpers are scary tho
Ryus 08.10.21	@park i dont think so but damn that opener has some great prod. sounds super ahead of its time for 1997. def gonna check out the entire album when i have time thx
parksungjoon 08.10.21	listen to this one too apparently the label thought it was too crazy and didnt release it https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1E84A92549C6E0EF that guy w/ jungle brothers
Ryus 08.10.21	will do
Ryus 08.10.21	@nuchoking check chief keef
Nuchoking 08.13.21	'He just copied 100 classics and paste em on random order.' You got me, that's exactly what I did, its always refreshing to hear people speak like they know you. Also list isn't random, its alphabetical. 'kinda bored of stuff like this but i used to like slum village, quas, pete rock, and jeru a lot. dont rly listen to this kind of hip hop anymore though' Thats cool @Ryus, don't get me wrong I've come full circle, all I was consuming was newer hiphop a few years back, and I've got a lot time for all sorts but when we talk about albums as a whole I'm still delving back into these. 'Tell us you’re white from the suburbs without using those words' 'Sput is wildly sleeping on griselda records too' @ botb Seems on point! but not sleeping on them, do struggle to keep up with those releases sometimes though '@nuchoking check chief keef' @Ryus I have and I'm good thanks, think my introduction to him was in 'welcome to chiraq' some crappy noisey documentary back in 2014, but not really my thing thanks dude.
CaliggyJack 08.13.21	Great list Spin The Warmup by Jaz-O I won't shut up about this alb
Nuchoking 08.13.21	@park That Jungle Brothers - Crazy Wisdom lost album is nice, shame this never saw a proper release.
Nuchoking 08.13.21	'No Immortal Technique? No Loaded Lux? seems legit.' I'm not losing my mind, I swear we've been here before, yet the evidence seems to have been deleted from the thread.
GodLovesUgly 10.05.21	Such a diverse and beautiful collection of Hip-Hop's best.
Veldin 10.05.21	Where's the Sole, Alias, Themselves, cLOUDDEAD, Deep Puddle Dynamics, WHY?, etc. Needs more Anticon love
Veldin 10.05.21	However, excellent list. Cheers!
Nuchoking 10.05.21	'Where's the Sole, Alias, Themselves, cLOUDDEAD, Deep Puddle Dynamics, WHY?, etc. Needs more Anticon love' This is literally what I was listening to back in mid 2000's; Subtle, Sage Francis, 13 God and all the others mentioned, I can't remember if it was Eyedea's music that put me on to Anticon but I hear you just not something I listen to so much these days. But certainly still have appreciation for. 'Such a diverse and beautiful collection of Hip-Hop's best.' Too kind, thanks.
WeepingBanana 10.05.21	anticon fucking sucks where’s UGK and Three 6 Mafia?
dedex 10.05.21	aye cool list ever jammed some more obscure Fondle 'Em records? shit like Cenobites or Siah and Yeshua DepoED? also can't recommend Divine Styler - Spiral Walls Containing Autumns of Light enough
Nuchoking 10.05.21	'Anticon fucking sucks where’s UGK and Three 6 Mafia?' Each to their own. Super Tight and Ridin' Dirty come very close for me, so toss up between the two but had to stop somewhere and they didn't make it for me... not the biggest Three 6 Mafia fan but then again not checked them out in some time so maybe I'll revisit.
Nuchoking 10.05.21	Dedex... thanks. I've listened to Cenobites for sure but not for some time. Siah and Yeshua DepoED I'm not familiar with, I'll check them out and see whats up. I also know of Divine Styler but couldn't say anything more than that, if you recommend the album mentioned I'll start there. Not really been listening to much hiphop of late, so nice to have some recs.
dedex 10.05.21	yeet nice nice nice
WeepingBanana 10.05.21	You’re right I’m sorry. It’s just hard to imagine Ridin Dirty not being top 10 let alone top 100
Nuchoking 10.05.21	No, no need to apologise I mean you haven't come in saying its all trash because I haven't put them in, and I totally understand why in particular UGK not being in is questionable.
dedex 10.05.21	gotta love polite exchanges like this m/
WeepingBanana 10.05.21	How many MCs must get dissed?
tellah 10.05.21	awesome list, ive only heard about a third of these but they were all dope so gonna be referencing this for quite awhile
Drifter 10.05.21	I'm sure you've heard it but if I were to make a top hip hop list, Paris' Sleeping With The Enemy would be suuper high up on it. I mean, a lot more bay area hip hop would but that one in particular lol
Nuchoking 10.05.21	I like a civil discourse, I think a rarity to be found sometimes. Hey Drifter, nice to see you back...I do like that album dude amongst some other Paris albums, and bay area hiphop is under represented I do appreciate it but not as much as you.
