02.26.15 | I've heard nothing but good things about Kendrick's LP. and I tried some old school stuff like that, and none of it clicked :/. the whole ego measuring contest thing that a lot of rappers do is kinda a turn off. so, i guess just rec me stuff that keeps it real? uh with lyrics about life and stuff and not egos and money and hoes? |
MotoMusic
02.26.15 | Kendrick may sound a little ego-y on that album, but it's usually him recollecting about when he was younger and talking in that Kendrick's voice. Also check Kanye- My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. That and the Kendrick album are models of what modern hip hop should be. |
theNateman
02.26.15 | I'll definitely check those out. That kanye LP is the one with runaway on it right?

MotoMusic
02.26.15 | Indeed. And Power (which has samples from King Crimson's first album in it interestingly enough) |

02.26.15 | KRS-One, doesn't get much better than the Blastmaster. I owe LambsBread for that one I guess, probably wouldn't even be into hip-hop at all if I hadn't had to do that review. |

jagride
02.26.15 | get over your hang ups about not wanting to listen to rap that's ostensibly about money, girls guns etc because that's always been a part of the genre and informs a lot of the best shit. you said yourself that you wanted to delve into the genre

theNateman

YetAnotherBrick
02.27.15 | yeah i mean all El-P and Aesop Rock have ever done is create styles completely their own within the realm of hip-hop and write lyrics that actually have some fucking substance and make beats that don't sound like every other hip-hop beat
but i guess liking that kind of thing makes me retarded. huh. |
Hurricanslash
02.27.15 | Don't argue with them. It's not worth it. You'll just get angry. |
