Henchman of Santa posted:I'll have to actually get around to listening to Cage since he's always grouped with this kind of hip-hop and I tend to enjoy it. billy woods has been putting out some of my rap of the past couple of years. If you like Sadistik and Eyedea and somehow haven't listened to Skelethon by Aesop Rock or Cancer for Cure by El-P, you should. Skeleton, Cancer for Cure, and Kill the Architect are all pretty dark albums they wrote after their close friend died of lung cancer. Danny Brown's stuff can be dark too but I'm not sure if you'd like it as much.

HorseRenoir posted:This is the sound of Chance the Rapper disappearing completely up his own rear end in a top hat lmfao Since you may have just clicked on that garbage, I feel better about linking this. Rob Sonic, aka that guy who did that album with Aesop Rock where they rapped about food a lot, has an album coming out in August. I dig this track. https://soundcloud.com/candyvan/not-for-nothing-feat-breeze-brewin-of-the-juggaknots He and Aesop also have another album coming later this year I think.

Kvlt! posted:Just curious, I dont even know if this exists. Do you guys know any fusions of folk/acoustic music and rap? I love horrocore but have been trying to expand into other genres of rap, and I was wondering if it ever fused with folk music (which I also love) or bluegrass. Just testing the waters, it might not. Thanks guys! Aesop Rock did a thing with Kimya Dawson if you want a weird rapper and a weird folk artist working together. It sounds about as close as you're going to get to what you asked for. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x90x3cLjapc e: There are a decent of amount of rappers, particularly backpack-y ones, who have acoustic guitar in their beats every now and then, though.

Aesop and Rob Sonic rap and make all the beats but there's some other dude called DJ Big Wiz who does the cuts/scratches and toured with them last time around. I listened to the first half of that before I left this morning and it seemed really good.

Is Ryan Lewis's production actually that good? I think the Thrift Shop beat gets annoying really fast and I don't remember anything about the production of any of the other songs of his I've heard. Also, where should I start with Homeboy Sandman?

alansmithee posted:Open Mike Eagle's probably as popular as Aesop or Atmosphere are currently. Also even though he's been around for awhile, they all got started and were HUGE during the big independent boon of the early 2000s (and of course El-P been around since the mid 90's). RTJ is more popular by far than all of them, but they're also a bit more festival friendly and fit the current music zeitgeist better. I don't think I'd agree with that. Atmosphere still plays shows at huge casino venues like every year or so around here even if their new music isn't getting as much buzz as it used to. And I think Aesop Rock had a lot more buzz when Skelethon came out than Open Mike Eagle did when Dark Comedy came out, and I think more people will start talking about him when he comes out with another solo album. He just hasn't released a solo album in like three years and people don't care as much about the stuff he does with Rob Sonic and Kimya Dawson. Did the instrumental hip hop thread disappear? One of the dudes from Blue Sky Black Death put out his own instrumental album and it's really good if you're into those sorts of airy instrumentals. https://ultraglacial.bandcamp.com/album/sirens https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUJRPIRuJE8 e: For a statistic slightly more relevant than Facebook likes, Aesop Rock's song Cat Food which came out in January has 260k plays on Spotify, which is more than double any of Open Mike Eagle's highest played songs.

Aesop Rock almost fits the bill imo. I think Labor Days and Daylight are better than Bazooka Tooth but other than that I think every one of his albums has been better than the last. I guess a lot of people like Labor Days the best, though.

I like Kendrick's album, maybe more than GKMC. But I didn't like GKMC as much as most people did. There also aren't any songs on it that are as good individually as m.A.A.d. city or ADHD imo. I like the feel of the album as a whole although the skits are kind of bad and the Tupac thing is so loving cringeworthy. I can't believe people on reddit are eating that part up. Kendrick has previously mentioned how Tupac told him in a dream that he had to carry on his legacy or some poo poo though.

thathonkey posted:fwiw i think el-p and big krit are both ok at rapping (always tolerable, never necessary nor would be missed on a track). on rtj1 i felt like el-p really stepped it up but then on rtj2 mike is still spitting some great poo poo when el-p comes in like "you can all run backwards naked through a field of dicks!" Yeah, I didn't like much of El-P's rapping on RTJ2 at all and it's one of the reasons I very much prefer RTJ1 over it.

Insanely Sikh posted:I like Nacho Picasso but he's a bit of a punchline rapper, think he chooses good beats but I always think he could do better with them. I feel like that Witchtape EP he came out with a couple months ago had a lot more substance than his other stuff. It might actually be my favorite release so far this year. I like this new album but I think it's my least favorite of his releases this year.

Has anyone here seen Nacho Picasso live? I've heard some mixed things about his performances. I guess it probably depends on how high he is and on which drugs. Dude doesn't seem the most stable from his twitter. He's coming here in about a month with some dude named Prof from Rhymesayers I've never heard of.

Speaking of Cage from a couple pages ago, he came out with a new song as Sam Hill and it is quite something https://soundcloud.com/samhill666/the-peucharist I guess Sam Hill is where he actively tries to be as offensive as possible instead of just being really nihilistic.

I know I'm way late but where should I start with Young Thug? Particularly with what's on Spotify or easy to get rather than scattered tracks. I've listened to Barter 6 and a couple other random songs.

Besson posted:This is how to get into thug. Lock in on one song until it all clicks. I've been doing this with Hercules so far. There was some other song linked on here a while back that I liked too but I can't find it again. I think it was produced by London on da Track and had kind of an emotional feeling to it? But that probably doesn't narrow it down much. Thanks for all the suggestions. I'll probably download both Slime Seasons, Rich Gang Tha Tour Part 1, and check out some of the other stuff. Can I also get some recommendations for general lighthearted and/or uplifting albums? I'm going on vacation this week and want a bunch of new stuff to listen to on planes and layovers and stuff and I've been kind of down lately and listen to too much sad music.

alansmithee posted:Yeah Skelethon was the first time he handled all his own production. He did a couple things on Bazooka Tooth and None Shall Pass, but most of that was other dudes. And you're dead on about that Kimye Dawson album, pure junk. I agree the album with Kimya Dawson was pretty bad because of the production and Kimya Dawson but Aesop had some insane verses on it, e.g. Bats, Boomerang, TV on 10.
