really surprised not more here know black moon, NY heads i knew were bumping him along with illmatic in the day
jokes aside if any/most of this is true, we could make you an amazing playlist here man
like i can't always get into dalek but the rest of that...damn, you could just lock yourself up for the weekend and have an awesome time for real
ps wait i haven't listened to much boot camp (its in the kams queue folder) or any DITC, recommend me somehting from the latter
controversial statement is controversial, i love the album more than most here though

The shit that Joey Bada$$ wants to be. This is why no one can respect a ye stan; it's clear that 98% of you haven't listened to some of the best catalogues in rap.

My Top 10 since Jan 2010......
Covert Coup - Spitta
Well Done - Action Bronson
Teflon Don - Rick Ross
GKMC - Kendrick
R.A.P Music - Killer Mike
4evaNaDay - Big Krit
Pinata - Gibbs
Stay Trippy - Juicy J
Kush and OJ - Wiz Khalifa
Tangible Dream - Oddisee
best EP's
Cigarette Boats - Spitta
Untitled EP - Hodgy Beats
Pusha T's Wrath of Kaine and MNIMN both just slipped under the top 10.
You know making this list its just occurring to me how much quality stuff these newer rappers have been putting out since 2010. its crazy but pr-2010 I really thought rap was dying but right now its healthier than it was damn near through the whole 2000's. I could probably make a list of 30 or more quality projects that I've heard since 2010 where I would be strapped to come up with 30 quality projects from 2000 to 2010 based on my taste in rap.

I actually own the first 2 albums and a fist in thought. Kinda shameful tbh, I like them but they're very much late 00s backpack fuckery.

That was originally on there as well, but it's much more of a "gotta be in the right mood" album than Oneirology is for me. That dreamy vibe on the latter is too good.
AZ actually has my favourite song ever, The Format. But I fear the album will taint my thoughts on the single.
But yeah outside of the original list Esch mentioned, I don't really hear anything else regarded as a bonafide classic, more like highly regarded regional albums (like say D.O.C.). I usually don't get in the mood to listen to anything before the 90s, I have to physically force myself to listen to stuff so it's not fun, even if I end up enjoying it. Checked my list and it's actually down to 20! WOOHOO.
There is one I haven't listened to yet that is a classic that I'll throw you guys anyways because what the fuck we need to get to OT11:

don't try to go HRD on me and just start making up artists and sprinkling them in now
............ we talk about both dalek and black moon pretty frequently in this topic.

their mid 2000's work has aged better but you can say that about a lot of good stuff made in the 2000's. that 90's sound while dope, doesn't hold up as well.
But in the 90's songs like "I got cha open"Remix and "Sound Bwoy Bureill" were dope in NYC. Those were the bobby Shmurda songs of the 90's
Wait, Aquemini is hated by gaf hop?
Indeed. It annoys me when folks constantly get on the shoebox to big up the 90s like it was the mecca when around mid 2000s rappers were trying to go on another level. I bought a shit ton of music around that time than I do nowadays because of quality>>>etc.
Yeah it's kind of rough, I sort of understand the appeal though. Sort of. Just turns into noise by the end for me though.
Nah I think OutKast lovers are still the majority here. One or two people said they didn't like 'em and it became a war lol
I'm indifferent, really. They have classic records under their belt, that much undeniable. And they have a timeless quality to them.
Damn, this is dope. I was always interested to hear the pioneers of the industrial scene, so I wouldn't mind if y'all shared anything else like this.

Vocal portion can't bing it up w/o mentioning how ATLiens is better
Pretty much this. I enjoy each album for what it is. In Aquemini's case, timeless production.
my experience with industrial is heavy metal influenced, Godflesh and all that but Dalek has a pretty dope discography if you're not afraid of some grit and noise.
you should listen in this order;
Abandoned Language
From Filthy Tongues of Gods and Griots
Negro Necro Nekros
Absence
it's like Death Grips, but not shit. It's the type of conspiracy theory shit lyrically dudes like Ab-Soul wish they could write tbh.
for me one of the most disappointing things about the decade so far is that C$ hasn't linked up w/ Fraud or Alchemist again for sequel projects.
at the time i really took for granted that we'd get more from those 2 combos.
edit: well i guess you could count The Stage but i was hoping for a straight C$/Fraud project.

A full length Cigarette Boats would end hip-hop. There would be no need for any other albums after that.

that black moon bored the fuck out of me but this is cool as hell.
the ep was 100% great. i think it might be harry fraud's greatest achievement

well it was the production quality of the 2000's that went up. Lyricism actually took a big hit in the 2000's. Between crunk, autotune. reaggaton, and krumping (not to mention the whole laffy taffy snap your finger phase) there was no real newer rap movements on the verge of being mainstream that was based on lyrics.
The biggest change since 2010 is your seeing better lyricist who can exist on the verge of mainstream who are now rapping on the better quality/type of beats that exist. 2010 and beyond has been based on Lyricism being on par with dope beats.
The reason I pick on rapper who are on the verge of being mainstream is in my opinion those are the guys who are the real tastemakers in rap. Established acts try to bite them to stay relevant while newer acts model themselves off of them in the hopes of getting paid well to rap. In a few years a few of these young guys will likely go full mainstream and be more a celebrity than a rapper such as wiz and drake.
you got bored with the I Got Cha Opin remix? One of the best remixes of all time?
You might be the first muslim soulja girl i've ever met.

I hope they do link up but you can see where running his label seems to be taking away from his own projects.
touche'. I remember folks going crazy for beats rather than raps. I swear almost everybody that could beat on a table wanted to be a "dope producer" rather than a rapper. You had Just Blaze, Heat Makerz, Timberland, Neptunes, etc killing the game. No lie I wish production would be a little better because the top tier rappers nowadays be rapping over the worst of beats :/.
