rec me some entry level hip hop for people who don't like hip hop
pic kinda related, i think it's alright
thats not how making a thread works
Dude don't even bother.
I was basically in your position but /mu/ basically takes it for granted that you'd enjoy listening to radio pop.
I did the hard work myself, trawling through rym hip hop and subgenre pages, listening to albums in full, they're all forgettable.
Try j dilla or dj shadow but don't expect much.
Deltron 3030.
Paul's Boutique.
Black on Both Sides.
Mos Def & Talib Kweli Are Black Star.
Stankonia.

When you ask for "entry level hip hop" you're just going to be recommended generic shit from the 80's and 90's

AKA the only two good decades of rap.

Yeah, I only listen to REAL hip-hop. ATCQ, Tupac...the list goes on....
>>75005788
Stay mad, trapshitter. You'll like good music one day, too.
>>75005088
Coming here was your first mistake
xxxtentacion - 17
dark vibes, but legit
and it's a shortand easy listen
>>75006444
This album is legitimately trash.
>>75006444
So bad its good
>>75005379
this. rap is a meme. I tried several classics and they're all forgettable bullshit. ATCQ was one of the few I come back after a while

Come on, I know it's cool to hate, but a track like Jocelyn Flores is wonderful to chill on. What happened to being open for music? Why does everyone want to force an opinion on the waves, instead of accepting it surfing along?

Two songs that got me into hip hop are:

and https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=gqky4dSGJnE
I recommend them
>>75005088
College Dropout, Late Registration, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, 36 Chambers
>>75005788
genres are plainly better at their inception
>>75005088
madvillainy - madvillain
late registration - kanye west
pinata - freddie gibbs & madlib
eternal sunshine - jay electronica (the fifteen minute EP)
3 feet high and rising - de la soul
modal soul - nujabes
donuts - j dilla
>hip hop for people who don't like hip hop
my dad actually likes tribe and he hates rap, his favorite artists are zappa and gershwin. the other rap albums he likes are:
to pimp a butterfly - kendrick lamar
yeezus - kanye
special herbs (it's a huge collection) - mf doom
oh and also don't believe a single thing you read on this board about rap. or pitchfork. hip hop is unique in that it is one of the few genres where popularity generally correlates with quality
>>75005088
I hate cliche hiphop lyrics, if you agree you might like these.

Sure but only if you actively reject certain popular hip hop artists as actually being hip hop.
I do think it's worth pointing out though, it's pretty strange honestly.
>>75005088
nice dubs
the mixtape that really broke me in, and got me exploring was Chance's Acid Rap
>>75006705
I meant that albums with enduring 'classic' status are actually pretty gud, instead of 'hot' flash in the pan rappers, sorry for the confusion
