Op is a fag or a troll or both for even wanting to listen to any kind of rap. Try some actual good music ie Floyd, credence, zep, skynrd.

idiot
Kanye put out some good albums, especially his debut, and kendrick along with the likes of joey badass are some of the best in the game atm
also eminem put out one of the best horrorcore albums of all time
go listen to liquid swords
Most people find him corny, but I do really like listening to Watsky's stuff. Probably my favourite rapper.
Best one is probs Childish Gambino though, I'd say you should try them out.
>>574779157
that gambino album was shit
he cant write lyrics for shit
>>574776134

>>574779254
Fuck Childish Gambino
MF Doom. Eyedea and Abilities, Slug, Sage Francis
>>574779254
Which one?
Culdesac was pretty amazing in my opinion, Camp was kinda lame, true, but his new stuff is so wacked up I'm still picking up on new things on the 14th listen.
>>574779687
the big one with his face on the cover
i just think hes weak as shit anyway
listen to mf doom 'mmm... food' OP
Hopsin
>>574779783
Your loss.
But then again Gambino is more of a niche thing, using violins and stuff in rap isn't everyone's style I guess.
>>574780174
Fuck off donald
>>574780174
not my fucking loss
and using classical instruments in rap has been done loads of times
he is just shit, his flow, lyrics and delivery are just fucking weak and all he does is appeal to meme addicts
>>574778384
I do know it, tho I'm not into it. Talking about something I don't like will lead us nowhere I gues. I more into progressive, and deep.
>>574774347
>>574774347
I respect your right to have a different taste in music than me, but that argument is the stupidest fucking shenanigans nonsense I've heard in my life and I'be been on /b/ since 2006.
