Alright so I need someone to recommend me someone similar to Kendrick Lamar Or Tyler The Creator, I only listen to them and that’s it. I was asked for top 3 favorite rap artists and I literally did not know who to put at third, I said someone who I barely listen to (Denzel Curry). I was asked to name 5 songs from him and yeah I embarrassed myself 🤦‍♂️ so I was wondering if anyone here can recommend me a rapper similar to Kendrick or Tyler so I can actually have a top 3 or whatever and actually have a wider taste.

Sometimes they play the song and rap over it or do some adlibs. Who actually raps the lyrics with the instrumental playing?

Mine was during the Yeezus rollout, Kanye's uannounced premiere of Black Skinhead through projectors on major buildings around the world.

Rap saved me is my favorite, the beat and the flow goes hard af

doesn't matter how many members just the impact they did to the game

Me personally I sort of make my voice a little bit higher pitch when rapping as it helps me rap more natural and stutter less over my words

I'm addicted to 90s rap songs with piano beats and i want more .I like Survival of the Fittest by Mobb Deep C.R.E.A.M by Wu-Tang Clan Ambitionz Az a Ridah by Pac Could you reccomend me some songs with similar flow ? (sorry for shit eanglish)

Would like to know as it is one of my favorite songs off of gkmc and I can’t tell if it is Dre under affects or another person. I don’t k is please help!

I'd say Freddie Gibbs and Danny Brown

I was watching vids of juice freestyling and I got so emotional but who’s best

First, I'm genuinely not trying to drag any rapper / rap genre with the label "gimmick", I just can't quite figure out the precise word to use here.

Are there any rappers that have more a "gimmick" and live outside what anyone would consider the traditional bandwidth of rap that you, nonetheless, consider to have sneaky good skill?

When I say "gimmick," I'm thinking like perhaps nerdcore rappers like MC Chris, or the dudes who do the "epic rap battles from history" YouTube stuff. Hell, maybe an artist who is explicitly NOT a rapper who did a track or two.

I'm not saying any such rappers would be placed into the echelon of rap elite, but I suspect some rappers in this space have more skill than might be expected at first.

Would love to hear any names / examples people have here.

i was singing go go power rangers and someone thought it was CARNIVAL 😭

Mine is that Tyler The Creator is better than Kendrick Lamar

I remember being a young teen and hearing Fabulous say: I keep two nines on me like Warren Sapp from the bucks and it blew My mind.

saw the post asking for the best beat of the 2020s so I wanted to see what you guys thought about the 2010s since we have a full decade to look at. my choice is DUCKWORTH.

9th wonder was smoking crack when he made that shit that is probably my favorite beat of all time, all the switches go so hard

Not 2 or 3 or honourable mentions. Your comment should be 1 track. 1 beat. Please name the producer, track, artist and album if you can. Peace!

Nas - track = Speechless, Album = Magic

Why is this. I don't have anybody to talk to about the rap game I need to hear yalls opinions

He does consistently double syllable rhymes or more. He has a 10 under his belt and multiple amazing albums. He's Slim Shady on steroids, and does horror core better then em. He is easily top 20 and maybe top 15.

Idk how many folks have heard of him. Hes a monster on the mic though. Hes a real street dude and if he took his craft seriously could have probably blew up. He was signed to Maybach label at one point. He deserves his flowers though. He can literally hang with anybody on the mic

I ask this question based on the fact he doesn't have much music, yet at the same time he has 2 diamond records, and a number 1 single. He seemed to ruin his career by signing with Kanye, but his sound had the ability to stick, take for example his 2 diamond records and his sound is very similar to that of Future. He was very popular, then just disappeared, I'm curious to see what others think?

A lot of rap fans don’t eat like that. I remember bro dropped an album every day for a year it something. Some artist straight up starve their fans but this dude was feeding his fans like big mama 😂

Jada can not be included in your answer.

The only reason they still getting streams now is because of their loyal fanbases. A lot of people discovered them after their deaths. The downfall of emo rap would mean that they would less popularity kinda like how uzi vert became less relevant. And last point is Juice Wrld and XXX were not even that good. Repetitive lyrics and literally just for "depressed" 12 year olds. Juice being a good freestyler doesn't mean hes a good rapper, the best album being a posthumous has to same something.

New here so sorry if this is repeated or not allowed on here.

I finally got around to listening to Dark Times (I know I'm late) and am amazed. Everything fits together so well and the replayability factor is S tier as usual for a Vince album.

It got me thinking big picture now that he has quite a few albums under his belt.

Dark Times

As i was finishing Dark Times and thinking about my history of listening to Vince, I was kind of surprised how many albums he actually has. I have liked all of his albums at release. I don't think I've listened to a Vince album and was like, "wow this is one of the GOAT albums and completely revolutionary for the genre" however, every single album has been at worst good and at best great. He doesn't miss.

Thoughts on Vince Staples from a discography perspective? Curious what your thoughts are. Especially if you joined late when he brought down the hype and was more personal with the production and message.

Kanye West had multiple smash hit songs on his 2001 demo tape titled “The Prerequisite” but back then nobody wanted to give the young rapper a chance.

The demo tape included versions of songs such as:

All Falls Down (Which was titled “Dreams Come True” on The Prerequisite)

Hey Mama (Which had the same name on The Prerequisite)

Graduation (Which was titled Home (Windy) on The Prerequisite)

Family Business (Which had the same name on The Prerequisite)

Jesus Walks (Which had the same name on The Prerequisite)

In 2001, almost nobody knew who Kanye West was and the few people who did know him only knew him as a producer instead of a rapper.

Just 3 years later, he was a platinum selling artist and was signed to one of the biggest record labels in the world.

To any aspiring musicians/rappers, the story of Kanye West’s come up shows that with persistence, consistency, and the unwavering desire to grow, you can accomplish your goals.

YOU GOT THIS. KEEP MOVING FORWARD.
