Masochist Does The Hip-hop Thing Again...
In my neck of the woods, it's not a hard thing anymore to get people into rhip-hop. Usually it takes just one or two songs that they recognize (maybe rsomething they heard in a movie or video game) in order to open the genre rup to them. Here are some good general starting points. |
| 1 |  | A Tribe Called Quest
The Low End Theory
If they think hip-hop can't be artistic. |
| 2 |  | Common
Be
If they're looking for something positive/uplifting. |
| 3 |  | DangerDoom
The Mouse and the Mask
If they want a hip-hop album that talks about something they (probably) know and
can relate to ('cause not everyone is from the streets of Compton). |
| 4 |  | Eminem
The Marshall Mathers LP
If they're white. No, really. |
| 5 |  | Jay-Z
The Blueprint
If they want something with songs they might recognize. |
| 6 |  | Kanye West
My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy
If they think there's no good hip-hop on the radio. |
| 7 |  | Lupe Fiasco
Food & Liquor
If they want hip-hop that goes against what they think hip-hop is nowadays. |
| 8 |  | Nas
Illmatic
Because it's a motherfucking classic. |
| 9 |  | Outkast
Stankonia
Because if they can't get into anything on this album, there's probably no hope for
them at all with hip-hop. |
| 10 |  | The Roots
How I Got Over
If they think that only the rapper matters in hip-hop, or that it takes no skill to create
hip-hop music. |
