Lotta good stuff in this thread. Thanks for the contributions all. Just discovered MURS, his clean style is what I look for in rap. Enunciation, diverse rhymes, and also good backing tracks. I originally got my rap start with Warren G Regulate and Beastie Boys License to Ill. From there I branched out into Biggie and Tupac. All of which are great, and each has a different style. But I listened to them by the whole album, which really contributed to how I appreciate them. The production values of an album as more then just a list of tracks is something that I feel really contributes to why I like rap. Obviously there is The Chronic, which should absolutely be listened to in it's entirety. But here are a few more (full albums only). These are all extremely popular and you've almost certainly heard at least 2 songs from each of these without realizing it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a02YJhCeTQk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJf5NLDYEq8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7YXsfuBlrc

There are several good hip hop/rap dedicated stations on Sirius if you have that 42-45 I believe. 3 will also play what people are listening to but that's a mix of other pop as well Otherwise yeah Jurassic five is classical at this point. Run the Jewels Deltron 3030 All goony favorites it seems on some level or at some point in the past Big Beef City fucked around with this message at 10:45 on Jan 12, 2022 |

harperdc posted:not a bad place to start though it is backpack as gently caress Hey so *stands up, does a lil wave* Hi I'm a big nerd and I just like music but I don't know all the culturals of it too good, I think I have a decent idea of what "backpack rap" is, but I'm not too sure. Like, my understanding is backpack is poo poo where you would listen to it by yourself but like, you're not gonna party to it or anything? And there's some kind of derogatory sense I'm picking up about it like it's also dorky/corny in some respect I dunno

For me, getting into hip hop was about finding tracks where I liked the beat and samples, and appreciating flow, lyricism, and cool rhyme schemes came later as I listened to more stuff. I also sort of wandered into enjoying trap via EDM. I think the first artist I bought tracks from was Chamillionaire, and I went through a phase where I really liked 90's boom-bap type tracks because I could understand how the rhyme scheme related to the beat.

signalnoise posted:Hey so It's got a more specific meaning, but my understanding is that it's generally pretty far from mainstream and often focused on social and cultural issues. I think more often it's throw around to refer to "intellectual" rap that white dudes like and go People who listen mostly to backpack rap will often say that it's "true hip hop" or something like that.

Yeah, I agree with this. An employee of mine a couple years back called it "big word rap."

Don’t get me wrong, a huge chunk of what I listen to is backpack rap and I do really enjoy a lot of stuff that could be classified that way but 1.) I’m not implying it’s necessarily the best, or even a good way to get into rap and 2.) it’s neither better than nor worse than other subgenres of hip hop. I guess the term has taken on a pejorative meaning, which I don’t intend.

Yeah, I think there's some truth to that. definitely don't want to imply that any type or sub-genre is better just by existing, there's plenty of bad backpack rap out there. signalnoise posted:here's some rap that's just fun to listen to imo OP god why didn't I think to suggest a lot more Bay Area rap right away
