I was kinda hoping for stuff that wasn’t on the list
;)Tyr, if you have any more suggestions I’d like to hear those too!
I’m sure you’ve heard of:
MF DOOM (or Madvillain or Danger Doom or King Geedorah) (Try out MM…FOOD)
Loot Pack
Madlib
Quasimoto
Wildchild
(Pretty much anyone off of the Stones Throw label)
I also enjoy (but listen to less):
TuPac (He’s a damn classic!)
Big Pun (hit or miss, check out Still Not A Player)
Kanye West (hit or miss, but Graduation is quite a good album. He’s gone to kinda a conceptual/artsy place that’s not for everyone [even me], but I suggest 808s and Heartbreak because it’s very different from Graduation)
Busdriver (Imaginary Places)
Grayskul (Prom Quiz or Scarecrow)
Jedi Mind Tricks (not for everybody at all, can be brutal but try out Saviorself)
Army of the Pharaohs (same as the above, lots of group raps so like an ultraviolent, conspiracy theory-believing Jurassic 5, check out Seven)
Outkast (their early stuff is really interesting, try out Elevators)
Tyler, the Creator (Not for everyone, haha)
Ludacris (hit or miss, try out Stand Up because I enjoy raps that kinda parody the game)
DMX (mostly for the hilarity of his angry raps like X Gon Give It To Ya)
G-Eazy (hit or miss modern white-guy raps, check out I Mean It)
For Nerdcore, I’m really picky about it because a lot of it is just junk that’s really tryhard. Most of these guys can be hit or miss, too.
