RIP

 

[-42-]

Been listening to a lot of Death Grips lately.



Call me a hipster and I will eat you.

I had no idea that ss.org was full of straight up OG's like myself.



But seriously. I love the diversity here. Hip hop is just as musical as any other genre when its done right.

i can only think of this

Danny Brown!!

 

[Polythoral]

I seem to be the only one here who loves shit like Kanye, Big Sean, Wale, Cudi, Drake, and Pusha T in hurr.

Also XV, Kendrick, Schoolboy Q, Ab Soul, Omar Linx, Astronautalis, POS, Childish Gambino.

Speaking of which, everyone NEEDS TO HEAR THE AWESOME THAT IS ASTRONAUTALIS.



Its like Modest Mouse + hip hop, lolol.

I've been getting back into rap/hip hop lately, and reminding myself why Swollen Members is so awesome

 

[Shrikkanth]

i can only think of this

The Samurai Champloo soundtrack is beautiful. Didn't realise chill instrumental hip hop even existed before I heard it haha. If there's anything else like it I'd love to hear it.

Stuff like this:

and:

SO good.

Nujabes was an absolute beast. R.I.P

 

[Daemoniac]

 

[Alpenglow]

I love instrumental type Hip hop, it's amazing. Artists like Uyama Hiroto, Kondor, and of course Nujabes. RIP.

As far as hip hop with vocals, I love underground, chill and intelligent rap like Pase Rock and Shing02. A perfect example is Art of Verse, love this dude, he's so unknown too.

God damn, Kilo's voice is so sexy. Great song

 

[Dan_Vacant]

What ever come on on my Childish Gambino station on pandora.

 

[broj15]

The importance of this album to the genre is undeniable

 

[JeffFromMtl]

Any interest in French hip hop? Hocus Pocus is some seriously intelligent, fun, musical stuff. The videos are always great too.






How about some instrumental hip hop?

It doesn't get better than Dday One.







Or perhaps RJD2 is the king of beat.










The Blakroc album seems to be criminally underrated/unknown as well. The Black Keys, Mos Def, ODB, RZA, Ludacris and more.

 

[Dwellingers]

I welcome this thread. I have been getting into 90ties Hiphop lateley - some really cool stuff with a lot of nerve from that time.

 

[Slayer89]

I pretty much love Swollen Members, Immortal Technique, Jedi Mind Tricks, and anything Strange Music.

 

[WildBroskiAppears]

Oh man, only two pages but i'm amazed this hasn't been brought up...





There will never be another like Bone Thugs
