Kriss Kross
Faglemore
Flo Rida

For me it's Public Enemy, KRS One, Rakim, Big Daddy Kane, Nas

I think I heard like one song from each of them

I never even heard The Bridge is Over and Ether

Negged for obvious trolling

I have tried to at least check out most of the "important" stuff from the 80s/90s.... but it's not like I listen to certain artists often. Like, Beastie Boys & Run DMC for example, I checked out (I think) most of their albums and bump some songs every now & then, but can't say that I enjoy their music THAT much.

Of the people mentioned in this thread, I guess MF Doom is one artist who's music I never really checked out.

DMX

Ill pass on that young Swizz Beats production

check out his debut there's only one Swizz Beat on it, the rest is Dame Grease production and it's classic

I've heard songs from about every "revered" rapper but it's tons I haven't listened to a full album :

ATCQ
De la Soul
Bones Thugs post E1999
Only Common albums I listened to are LWFC and Be
Damn near all the South rappers (Outkast, whole No Limit crew, Cash Money, T.I, Jeezy etc...tried to but never really got into it). Scarface and Killer Milke I listened to tho. Discovered 3-6 late but love their sound, got a whole file I got to go through
Most G-Unit albums (stopped really checking for them after 50's 2 first albums and the G-Unit album)
Drake (hate his voice and whole persona, never heard one song that made me want to listen to more)
J. Cole (I listened to one of his early mixtapes or albums and was bored all the way through)
Also a lot of 80s rappers I only listened to best ofs

 

[Stuntone]

Kendrick Lamar

 

[Not The Ruler O9]

hypocritical culture vulture Scottish frauds lying about who they listen to

 

[Zero]

These are the people you're talking music with

 

[DreadBrown]

Nas

I have illmatic god son and streets disciple but he is so boring to me

I also change the track before his verse on patience

'Who wrote the bible? Who wrote the quran?'

Stfu nikka

De la soul. Nothing about them is intriguing even though the community loves them.

Kool g rap. I probably skimmed through his debut but don't bump it regularly. Crazy becuase he fathered a lot of rappers I fukked with. And next to rakim and krs, pushed hip hop to become super lyrical in the 80's.

Ya guys naming mf and scarface and ghostface are really missing out on dope music

 

[SAINT]

you're seriously missing out

Put me on. what should i start with?

 

[Kyle C. Barker]

Put me on. what should i start with?

For ghostafce definitely supreme clientelle

Dooms most accessible album is probably vaudeville villain with his true magnum opuses being operation doomsday and madvillian. But "vaudeville villain" is easily his best album for an intro to doom. I feel like kanye channelled his inner mf doom on his "we major" beat

Granted I'm biased because those two are in my personal top 5.

Tribe called Quest...well ive tried for many many years but they mostly kinda wack to me aside from a few songs.... like how could what they were putting out at the time compare to Ice Cube who was the undisputed king at the time they were hot
