Hip-Hop Thread [ARCHIVED] Genre • Page 939

I only put it that way to distinguish between that and the more melodic stuff I have no problem with “monotone” rap, trap or otherwise

 

You know monotone trap is a Spotify genre

 

I definitely think those sounds oversaturated with mediocre artists in the last few years. In general, though, this didn't seem like a big year for mainstream rap. I think a lot of underground and lesser known rapper projects stood out more because of that.

 

1. Backxwash- I LIE HERE BURIED WITH MY RINGS AND MY DRESSES
2. Little Simz - Sometimes I Might Be Introvert
3. R.A.P. Ferreira - The Light Emitting Diamond Cutter Scriptures
4. Mach-Hommy - Pray For Haiti
5. Juice WRLD - Fighting Demons
6. Lil Ugly Mane - volcanic bird enemy and the voiced concern
7. Benny the Butcher - Pyrex Picasso
8. Armand Hammer & The Alchemist - Haram
9. Polo G - Hall of Fame
10. Rod Wave - Soulfly

 

I don't know how I left Backxwash off my list, but I went back and edited my post just now to include it (if it hasn't been calculated yet)

I like a pretty wide variety of everything from old to new to backpack to mumble rap, etc... I just didn't think there was that much hip hop to come out this year that really struck a chord with me. There was stuff I enjoyed, but like I said before, even the albums I put in my top 10, I don't feel any deep attachment to.

 

Oh really?

 

Oh snap

 

I would like to ponder that orb

 

I need to listen to so many albums from these lists. I might post one later of the stuff I have listened to

 

this rules so hard

 

let Freddie drop his album and jump to number one on my list

 

I will probably forever remember now that I graduated college the same semester as Megan Thee Stallion lmao

 

I have to applaud her discipline. If I were making that kind of money I would have dropped the fuck out lol

I feel like I’m having a fever dream

 

Lmfao “why would we DM you”

 

dang this McKinley Dixon album is fucking fantastic. took me way too long to listen to this

 

The new Droog is cool

 

Good shit:

Logic's song '1-800-273-8255' saved lives from suicide, study finds - CNN

 

new Grand Theft Auto expansion has 6 new Dr. Dre songs in-game, but apparently no plans for them to hit streaming services

Gospel ft. Eminem
Diamond Mind ft. Nipsey Hustle & Ty Dolla $ign
ETA ft. Snoop Dogg & Anderson .Paak
The Scenic Route ft. Rick Ross & Anderson .Paak
Falling Up
Black Privilege

 

Game also seems to have these new songs, maybe more? it's hard to find definitive info:

Nez and ScHoolboy Q’s - Let’s Get It
Freddie Gibbs with Pusha T and Kevin Cossom - Miami Vice
Freddie Gibbs with Juicy J - Pick the Phone Up
Mike Dean & Offset - So Fancy

 

Dre is also in the game lol

 

Looking for recommendations based on Alfredo because I just listen to it all the time. Love Freddie's voice, love The Alchemist's production. Is there anything else out there with a similar dynamic, harder flows over more relaxed, classical or jazz-influenced beats? Unrelated, I also listen to the Griselda stuff a lot, so I guess anything in that vein would be great too. Just looking for some new shit to get hooked on.
