Acid Rap by Chance the Rapper: feel good masterpiece that came outta nothing. Too bad he fell off steeply after it.

I want to have faith he will bounce back from Coloring Book. 10 Day and Acid Rap are two of the best mixtapes ever imo, I hope becoming mainstream doesn't ruin him.

Yeah, I feel like the struggle was the engine of his creativity, hopefully I’m wrong. Sunday Candy was delightful tho, the rest of that album however...

An important thing to realize is that no one will sacrifice their money for art unless they're on serious drugs...

Which Chance is (or at least was), so hopefully that won't be an issue.

It took me about 2 to 3 years to see the brilliance of Kendrick Lamar's music (It felt novel, but not brilliant) beyond his lyrics (which are amazing).
But when I listen to acid rap or other rappers... idk... it feels like what prog rock did (got a bit complex) and while I can appreciate that from afar, it
Maybe peeps got some recs for me for someone who liked popular rap of the late 80s, 90s, and 2000s, but is having a hard time getting into rap artists of the 2010s? I typically like exciting, lyrically clever (and not a long stretch clever or hipster ironic clever) and powerful rap music. I got turned off by Kendrick at first because he kept saying his dick was big... I don't give shit. Then I realized at least one of those times he was talking about racism, so that kinda opened it up for me.
I mean the simple solution is listen to like 30 rap albums to find the 4 I like, but idk... maybe another day. |
There are still plenty rap records by newer artists that are looking back to the classic sound and still being creative and fresh. Couple I'd suggest:
In Celebration Of Us by Skyzoo
Packs by Your Old Droog |
Thanks mate!
I mean I'm not against new fresh ideas, I'm just not loving them or maybe just haven't given them much of a chance. I mean I listened to Kendrick maybe 20 times before it clicked for me.
And to be clear I like rap, I'm just more of a "popular" rap fan I suppose?
A weak effort, but a start.
Hip-Hop/Rap/R&B by sethmadsen
Spinning Packs by Your Old Droog right now, and digging it. Thanks again!
As someone ignorant of rap developments and how we got to stuff like Acid Rap, etc.... maybe someone can explain the gap/growth/understanding? I mean I could just go read about it on Wikipedia, but discussion and stuff.
Also Your Old Droog's Grandma's Hips is killer... haahaha. I mean funny, but also really good.

Just listen to rock music if you don't get it. The exact same prog element you don't like is in the 2010s hip-hop so you likely won't get that either. Also, the Jack White album got me thinking some modern music is made by soulless computers, so If you don't like what's mainstream just stay in your old-time safety zone. |
Makes sense, but that's not the problem I'm facing.

people seem to have tackled most of the big names already so I'll drop some lesser known gems here in a bit. 2010's has low key been fantastic for kinda left-field "art rap" shit

Basically anything by Roc Marci, Ka, billy woods, Gibbs, YG, Mike Eagle, Maxo Kream, DJ Quik, Kendrick, plus some other bits by Kevin Gates, Thugga, Future, Earl Sweatshirt, Jonwayne, Chance, Noname, Junglepussy. Gonna go bat for one particularly underrated LP, though:
Incarcerated by Lil Boosie
