Music artists from the past who are revered that you just never got into

[Po pimp]

I’m talking about from genres you actually listen to, so if you never listen to country, don’t bring up Johnny Cash or some shyt. I have a friend who doesn’t care for MJ or Prince

Edit: updated thread title because yall keep naming artists who debuted this millennium (some even in the past decade)

Edit 2: Thread inspired by this

 

[cyndaquil]

Talib Kweli

 

[RubioTheCruel]

Kendrick, not my speed.

 

[Cloutius Maximus]

Pusha T solo music just doesn't grab me even though it's well produced and dude can spit. Just never feels like something I NEED to hear.

Yeah I'd also put Mac Miller in this category, sorry. If I need depressed druggy raps I fukk wit Earl

travis scott
mac miller
mf doom
ice-t

 

[Doobie Doo]

Kendrick, Wale, Lupe,

Everytime they drop something people just ask me what I think of it just assuming I liked them and listen.

Fab and Drizzy.

 

[Po pimp]

Damn, yall only listen to rap? I guess I was expecting more legendary artists from the past and not current rappers from the 2000s and after. Also, a lot of the rappers yall named aren’t even legends.

One for me is Nina Simone

 

[WaveMolecules]

Kendrick’s voice sounds like nails on a chalkboard

 

[MicIsGod]

Tyler the creator

 

[Seoul Gleou]

Chris Brown

i just dont get the big deal

None come to mind.

I can listen to pretty much anything.

If I don't like the vocalist I can enjoy the accompanying instruments/beats.

If I had to name a artist I would say Bob Marley. His music is just OK to me.

I think I liked Peter Tosh a bit more.

 

[Adeptus Astartes]

Chris Brown
Anita Baker

 

[Luke Cage]

I hated Sade when i was a kid. My mom loved her and would play her all the time. But her music felt slow like for old people when i was a child.

Like her songs now though as an adult.
