I assume with Wu Tang you know GZA, RZA, Ghostface Killah, etc solo material?

Aesop Rock might scratch your itch but im guessing hes a miss.

going old school, but what about like A Tribe called Quest? Lyrics are good but beats tend to be basic.

I've been liking a local guy's music for a while, who goes by "Chuuwee"

this is the song that got everyone's attention years ago - Post- Mortem

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=uMjFe24Ms_Q

his latest album, "Hear no Equal", is also really good, IMO

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ipE4G1GPN8I

oh yea, I'm boxington, btw; thanks for the tag.

NF.

honestly one of the best of all time imo. His styles dark and gritty but focuses on mental health and wellness and stress and shit. As far as I know hes never cussed in any song but you wouldnt guess that.

start with the search, when I grow up, leave me alone, why, or Therapy imo.

really recommend him though. Topic has a ton of great artists in it already but I still gotta advocate for NF.

if you looking for political/funny go for Run the Jewels. Start with dont get captured or close your eyes and count to f***

@Zeeak4444

I tried NF out a bit and thought he was pretty good. I really didn't like The Search song, and almost gave up there, but then I got to "Nate" and "My Stress" and that was more to my style

I'm going to listen to a few songs from everyone in here. I have the artists saved so I can easily look them up.

BTW, thanks for being one of the only ones to actually give me songs to check out, I wish more people could be logical enough to think of that when someone is asking for music to listen to, lol

ya my bad, I wasnt sure which style youd like most. My stress and Nate are both really really good too, if you like those youll probably like real, no excuses, maybe outcast and mansion. But theres a lot of hits from the dude.

glad you found a few you liked at least!

Thanks again

I liked most of what I heard. I think I listened to whatever their top 2-3 most popular songs were. I'll get a better understand now that I'm off of work and can, well, be more attentive.

I'd actually say the opposite. I find their beats are excellent but a lot of their lyrics are kinda stupid

in a similar vein to TCQ, I recommend Guru's "Jazzmatazz"

Guru was part of Gang Starr, which is also worth checking out

for more contemporary rappers, my favourites are Noname and Earl Sweatshirt

About to go through the second set of suggestions. So far I like Chuuwee's stuff the best, I think. But he's the only one I listened to a whole album from, which I think is much better than listening to the most played song, which often times are not their best stuff.

Okay, for real now. I didn't have much time to listen to music yesterday

I'll go 90's/early 2000's since from your list I'm guessing you'll have an easier time vibing with the instrumentals and lyrical imagery these guys will bring to the table:

Heltah Skeltah - Nocturnal
Smif N Wessun - Dah Shinin'
Poor Righteous Teachers - Holy Intellect
Atmosphere - Overcast! [Extended/remastered vers.]
Tha Alkaholiks - Coast II Coast
Xzibit - At The Speed Of Life
Organized Konfusion - Organized Konfusion
Organized Konfusion - Stress: The Extinction Agenda
Masta Ace - Sittin' On Chrome
Rawkus Records - Soundbombin' Volume II
O.C. - Word...Life
Non-Phixion - The Green CD
Arrested Development - 3 Years, 5 Months & 2 Days In The Life
Freestyle Fellowship - To Whom It May Concern...
Pharcyde - Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde
Mic Geronimo - The Natural
Deltron 3030 - Deltron 3030
Brother Ali - Shadows On The Sun
UGK - Ridin' Dirty
Geto Boys - Uncut Dope
Eazy-E - It's On (Dr. Dre) 187um Killa
D.I.T.C. - D.I.T.C.

That's some fairly cut and dry stuff.
