Would you mind telling me a little in depth about what genres you mainly listen to and what it is about the lyrics you find super cool

While you type it out here's some songs for you to listen to, if you like any better than others point it out so I can pave the way of rapping for you

Hi Schlomo. You faggots are going down.

You gotta go on a journey from the early days of rap through all it's transitions until now.

Please listen to Piñata by freddie gibbs right now

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJyG7CDYW4I

Please start with the whole kanye west discography, I wish I could go back to the first time I listened to his albums

98% of the time just alt rock/shoegaze/etc. traditional band setups with loud guitars

the lyrics are boastful and self aggrandizing

>Even saw the lights of the Goodyear Blimp
>And it read "Ice Cube's a Pimp"

like you'd never hear things like that what i listen to. it's mostly....introverted themes, i guess

on fire is really good

People love to shit on Azealia Banks but she's pretty based; I wish she would not sing as much though. That track you posted is pretty all right.

When you say boastful and self aggrandizing do you lean more towards boasting in terms of rapping skills/flow or commercial success?

I'd suggest just checking out albums by rappers with songs you like. Rap/hip-hop is a rabbit hole in that particular regard, just by checking out albums by other rappers featured on songs or what songs/albums other producers have worked on you will have no trouble finding some jams or even albums that'll find a place in your heart. Unfortunately /mu/ is pretty stale when it comes to this genre and you will just see whoever has the most press or who famtano says is the new cool kid to listen to get brought up constantly, kind of like this >>74031610

good luck in your ventures

Do you like sci fi?
If so check out Deltron 3030 if you haven't already, shit was way ahead of it's time.

Illmatic - Nas will unironically change your life and is the foundation for all lyric-centric rap that followed it. Not to mention the beats are timeless too
