Sep 22, 2019 So I haven't gotten into any new artists in what seems forever. At least a solid 7 years. Part of the reason is because what i've heard in the past years has been just terrible to my ears. Especially the rise of mumble rap. Here are a list of artists that I used to listen to and still listen to give you an idea. T.I. Snoop Dogg Lil Wayne DMX 2 Pac Ice Cube Jay Z Eminem Chamillionaire Kanye West Rick Ross Tech N9ne Yelawolf Outcast Three 6 Mafia Bone Thugs and Harmony Dr Dre .... Honestly the list could go on forever. I like a bit of everything. But as you can see, all of these artists have been around for a while and a lot of them don't produce their best material anymore. I'm looking for new artists to get into. It could be the name of an artist or even a particular album. As for what type of hiphop I like, i'm kind of an inbetweener. Not a huge fan of hardcore, underground/street rap like Rakim for example. I like artists who can make "catchy" music with substance but not too popish either. It's hard to describe but I think the list above best describes it. No Migos, 6ix9nine, Future etc.. I'm not into any of that s---, no offence to anyone who enjoys listening to these artist. Thanks!
Sep 22, 2019 I’m having the same problem he is and my list is Similar.. Add like Busta Rhymes, DMX, Lloyd banks, 50 cent, biggie, ludacris blah blah.. But yeah.. I would love for you guys to put me onto some new artists that are dope because I’ve basically become like an old man and I’m stuck in a time warp when it comes to music.
Sep 23, 2019 Denzel Curry Given the artists you’ve listed in OP i’d be pretty surprised if you’re not already a Denzel fan. But if you havent listened yet, well, heres your answer. Album to check out: ZUU 2 Chainz Deadass, probably the closest you’ll get to your list in OP. His last 2 albums have both been contenders for AOTY. Still just as funny as he was in the early 10s but with the maturity and gravitas his contemporaries could never really carry over into their second acts. Album to check out: Rap or Go to the League DaBaby Brash, hilarious, unique. Best music videos in the game. Check out his debut album from earliet this year called Baby on Baby. Album to check out: Baby on Baby Maxo Kream Hardcore s--- with a classic H-Town sound with a bit of that A$AP take on Texas. Insanely talented, flow smooth as butter, lots of gangsta s--- but has got increasingly personal and introspective on his last 2 albums. One of the best story-tellers in the game right now. Album to check out: Brandon Banks Mick Jenkins At first I thought about puttin SABA on here as my Chicago pick but Mick Jenkins is just straight up better in all aspects and dossnt sound as much a Kendrick clone as Saba does. The man is a poet. Album to check out: The Waters JPEGMAFIA Bit of a gamble, this dudes music is pretty d--- experimental. His latest album blew my mind though. Go in with an open mind. You never know. Album to check out: ALL MY HEROES ARE CORNBALLS Flatbush Zombies Right up your alley. Draw heavily from clasic 90s/00s but add their own weird twist. Ardived with an amazing mixtape but never really lived up to expectations since, even though they have put out some seriously dope music. Album to check out: BetterOffDead Curious to hear your thoughts on these @Tonshor. Lmk when you’ve checked em out. Or if you need more recommwndations.
Sep 23, 2019 Glad i'm not the only one stuck with the same ole music. I like all the artists you mentionned also. Wow thanks, dude ! Really appreciate all the suggestions and the description you added for each one. I know none of these guys aside from 2 Chainz which i'm not really a fan of.. But I only heard a couple songs. So this is going to be interesting. Going to check these out later tomorrow and give you an update once i've listened to some of them.
Sep 23, 2019 T.I. is definitely one of the guys from the list that I enjoy the most songs from. I rarely like entire albums from any artist. It's usually just a handful of songs from each album, but I loved the entirety of Paper Trail with the exception of 1 or 2 songs. He also did a mixtape called F*ck The City Up not that many years ago which was great as well. And of course, he has a ton of great older material.
Sep 23, 2019 Just heard a couple songs from Sav Stanfield's suggestions and i'm not sure i'm gonna enjoy some of that stuff. It's really hard to explain. There's something about a lot of the newer hiphop these days. It's not just the mumble rap, there's just something about a lot of the beats and songs in general. The over use of hi-hats maybe? A lot of the beats I hear from recent artists sound generic, filled with tin can sounds as they rap over them in a monotonous way.. Don't know if that makes any sense. But I will dive deeper and check out some of the albums tomorrow before judging. Thanks for your suggestion!
Sep 24, 2019 Give these a listen. https://mmg-nolan-the-ninja.bandcamp.com/ the last one has an old Triple Six Mafia sound, you may dig it.
Sep 24, 2019 I have the same problem. Most of these new rappers, if you can call them that, are trash. I like most s--- that came out between 1999-2005.
Sep 24, 2019 Ab soul Danny brown Open Mike eagle Sean leon Saba Run the jewels Cant go wrong with any of that
Sep 24, 2019 Try this: @Lil Squeed also suggested Freddie Gibbs, def try Piñata and midwestganstaboxframecadllicamuzik
