Hello. So, I haven't posted here before but I was hoping to get a few recommendations. I've had a lot of fun this past year rediscovering hip-hop. I used to listen to a lot when I was younger, but I fell out of the loop in recent times. I heard a few things on the radio, but I didn't really like it, so I decided to dig deeper. To my surprise, I found some interesting stuff that I actually liked a lot. I know I'm just an anime avatar, but maybe someone will recommend a few things based on what I liked:

Kendrick GKMC - Heard a single, didn't like it. Listened to the full album and was blown away. Incredible.
Killer Mike RAP music - So much hype, but also really good production.
RTJ 1&2 - great
Shabazz Palaces - weird, but good.
Danny Brown XXX - Also liked Old, but think XXX is slightly better for some reason.
Vince Staples Hell Can Wait
A$AP Ferg Trap Lord - Okay I really liked this. Dunno why though. I love how dark and atmospheric it is. I tried some other trap, but it didn't seem as good as this?
A few other TDE artists - Mostly liked their roster. Most impressed by Kendrick, the rest are simply good to me.
Riff Raff Neon Icon - Oh god pls don't hate me for this, It's stupid, but I thought it was fun, not very serious!

Stuff I didn't like too much:
Drake

neon icon is great. such distinguished and respectable taste overall that i'm surprised you don't like drake tbh.

I dunno. Maybe I just didn't care for what I heard. But I kinda like it when hip hop has that more aggressive and guttural sound. Drake just didn't do it for me, it feels kinda soft... But maybe I didn't give it a fair shot.

Posted? Punch ft. Kendrick Lamar - 25. Smooth as hell. Punch is kind of nice..

Ludacris ft. John Legend - In My Life. Kind of wack TBH. I haven't enjoyed anything from Luda in a long ass time.

Trick Trick, Dej Loaf, Guilty Simpson, Black Milk, Sino, Marv Won, Payroll, Hydro, Big Gov, Boldy James, Kid Vishis, Big Herk, Icewear Vezzo, Detroit Che, Calicoe and Diezel - Detroit vs. Everybody Official Remix. Some surprisingly good verses in there. Absolutely hate Dej Loaf on the hook for this though. Marv's verse sounding extra terrible like he spit it through a window.

Anyone besides me who listens to that gets a cookie.

Listen to the top two in each rapup, I mean you need to listen to at least ten records to even vote shit is wack.

I'd just want to pick HRD's brain one day. I cannot even fathom the sort of knowledge he has, the amount of information he can retain about music or how can even possibly listen to that many albums at once.

He is GAF-Hop's centre.

For real. I can be like "Ay, I wanna listen to some shit made by an eskimo, but that feels like mid-2009 electro trap" and he'd have like, 8 records at the ready.

Also, I'm feeling this Azad Right. (Had to google it, cause the link is broke) but this is perfect.

Awesome. Thank you HiResDes. I'm so excited to check these out now. I have a lot of things to look into. I don't really know if my tastes are good or not, but I'm glad you think so. I mainly listen to a lot of ambient music, so hip-hop is a welcome change of perspective, but I really like it when it's raw, you know?

That's Q's album? I think I heard it but I can't remember which one... I can't recall any song that stood out to me right now, but if you recommend it I will give it another shot. I usually need to listen to an album a few times before I really fall in love with it.

Ah okay.

Also:
Lil Ugly Mane - Mista Thug Isolation

That's a classic. I don't know how far back you would want recommendations, but I feel like you wouldn't enjoy some other things I like from the past few years.

Late to the party but that Doe-Active song on Ferg Forever sounds like something ODB would have made if he was still around. I can't stop listening to it, it's so fucking ridiculous.
