Going back a bit but his first album is his "best" imo. The reason I'm using quotes is it's different from the vast majority of his output after that. After that he started going a lot harder into typical west coast gangsta stuff. Also the production went more towards that sound vs. the more boom bap stuff that the bomb squad gave him on his first album.

So basically if you prefer angry, politcal street raps you'll love his first album best. If you prefer the mid 90's/early '00's west coast gangsta sound, you'll probably wanna check everything up to War & Peace and the Westside Connection stuff.

Cool, thanks. I like the G-funk sound so I'll check out a few more albums to see what I like.

nah he's not hyperfocused on white ppl like yeezy, it's just broad fishing

his whole fanbase is white people. he went from funny community dude who railed against people not taking him serious as a rapper because he wasn't a street dude, to making a show that he explicitly said was for white people.

that said he's a pretty good writer when he wants to be, which just makes it stranger that he's such a bad rapper. his production isn't even horrible.

Yeah then you'll wanna check pretty much all of his output. All of his early stuff is arguably "classic", but you get a lot less of the political anger with his later work.

Not sure if you're familiar with some of the newer stuff that's kinda g-funk revival but if you like that sound G Perico is that dude.

Also that Lupe video made me put in The Cool and man, you can already hear the super-poppy overly dramatic hooks leaking into his stuff. This album hasn't aged well imo. Food and Liquor is still the jam though.

edit-Go Baby's a kinda ridiculous track though. still could cut probably half the stuff and not really lose anything but there's some good stuff on here for sure.

Been trying to explore rap music a bit, since it's this big genre that I don't know anything about. Here's a few songs/dudes/groups I like, looking for a bit of direction beyond clicking around spotify aimlessly.
