u mad?

I agree, though he's a really good sketch comedian.

[HiResDes]

So many people I'm surprised listen to hip-hop yet never venture into Gaf-Hop, repent.

 

[double jump]

haters going to hate

but if it wasn't for this and kanye I probably would have never got into hip hop.

.

 

[HiResDes]

Sometimes haters hate for a good reason.

 

[sixteen-bit]

isn't there supposed to be another Black Star album coming out?

 

[Aguirre]

also will recommend this at any chance i get. its free too!

It's a scary site.

I'll pop in now and then but it moves too quickly for me to keep up.

OP this is is the album I was mentioning last night, couldn't post because I was on my phone. If you want awesome instrumentals and friendly, non-abrasive lyrics, this is the album for you.

Still gives me that goosebumpy feeling.

 

[robotzombie]

If you like mashups, jaydiohead is pretty amazing

 

[kerotan_eater]

I know I mentioned these guys before but ... I can't help it.

Far East Movement Feat Riff Raff - The Illest

What do you think?

 

[Village]

Best instrumental hip hop album EVER.

On that note

MF DOOM and anyone who as ever associated with him ever.

That may include but not limited too

J Dilla ^
Madlib
Talib kweli
Danger Mouse
Cee Lo
Ghost Face Killah
Well You already like kanye

And many others.

 

[Kentpaul]

Kid cudi - Man on the moon

Kendrick - Good kid MAAD CITY

 

[toastyToast]

It has Organized Konfusion though.

Stress is good but their first album is somewhere in my top 10. Ridiculous for the time it came out

 

[Rastafarian42]

Easier on the ears. Better singles too, imo. Same reason I would introduce section.80 before gkmc. Just my opinion, tho.

I dunno I think Aquemini and ATLiens are much easier listens for first time OutKast listeners.

 

[EloquentM]

Hoe cakes

I lurk GAF-Hop and your quarterly threads. Thanks for doing those. I got to catch up on April/May/June releases before I start posting in there.

 

[Gambit61]

This guy knows his shit.

I'd like to add everything J Dilla did and I recently discovered Oddisee, really digging that.

OMG, another fan of Oddisee. You should check out Traveling Man, Odd Seasons and Odd Renditions

Will do!

 

[Jay Sosa]

I don't care and don't pay much attention to the lyrics

Looking at your choices you'll most probably like Lupe Fiasco's Food & Liquor.

yep, good pick.

Oh and I would recommend anything by Ross. Not only does he rap like a god he also does look great doing it:

 

[Moral Panic]

And Starks is reborn as the GHOST FACE KILAAAAHHHHHHHH

 

[liftedly]

Eric B & Rakim - Paid In Full (most accessible old school record in my opinion)
Paris - The Devil Made Me Do It (sounds just like Rakim, but with a strong black nationalist/5 percenter message)
Jedi Mind Tricks - Violent by Design (one of my all time favorites, excellent production)
Cunninlynguists - Will Rap for Food
Slick Rick - The Art of Storytelling (it's Slick Rick)
Mr. Lif - I Phantom (great concept album)

 

[~Devil Trigger~]

Classic Classic CLASSIC

 

[That1BlackGuy]

The LOX- We Are the Streets
Ice Cube- AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted or Kill at Will
Twista- Runnin' off at the Mouth
E40- In a Major Way

50 Cent- Guess Who's Back
Slaughterhouse- On the House
UGK- Ridin' Dirty
Lloyd Banks- Cold Corner 2
Young Jeezy- The Recession
Trae Tha Truth- Restless
DMX- It's Dark and Hell is Hot
Public Enemy- Fear of a Black Planet
Prodigy of Mobb Deep- HNIC Pt. 1
Z-Ro- You can pick any of his albums but I guess King of the Ghetto, Versus or Crack
