[Closed] Hip Hop you Don't Stop

Granville Sessions
Edward Scissortounge

Dirty Dike if you want it rude and achingly UK.

How about a shout for the UK:

Caxton Press
Manage
Verb T
Skuff
Fliptrix
Four Owls
Jam Baxter
Jehst
Task Force
Low Key
Dr Syntax and Tom Curuana

It is all quite incestuous and a lot of the solo artists listed appear in some of the collaborations. Some incredible albums released by all of the above.

Ninja tune is good, every now and again Kitsune have some decent hip/hop rap stuff.

I think these guys are German, and it's a bit jazzy/flowy but still soooooo cool

flow.... 😆

Masters of the Universe by Binary Star. 'tis awesome.

Mac Miller

That Lupe Fiasco - it's a mystery to me how stuff like that gets any success... it's not [i]bad[/i], just. so. incredibly... [i]ordinary[/i]!

This thread is a goldmine so far! I will add a couple to the list that I don't think have been mentioned so far, not brand new by any respect:

Skinnyman - Council Estate of Mind
Mark B & Blade - The Unknown
Buck 65(Ahem) - Talking Honky Blues and Square specifically for this thread
Saian Super Crew and MC Solaar if you can put up with not understanding the lyrics
Bike for Three - More Heart Than Brains
Childish Gambino - Camp
Dels -GOB

discovered [b]Masta Ace - Disposable Arts[/b] a few weeks back. Can't believe I missed that first time round....up there on the best album lists for sure

MF Doom & Run the Jewels - both keep me listening.

Another kid from a norther town thinking he was growing up in the 6th borough of Brooklyn here.

Lots of really good stuff has been mentioned already but hope this fills some gaps...

Antipop Consortium
Beastie Boys - not sure how they've not come up so far!
Blown Celeb (side project of Dizzy from UD)
Common
Danger Mouse
De La Soul
Fatlip
Gangstarr - in fact anything produced by Premier
Giant Panda - great old school
Grand Puba - if you like a bit of Japanese
Hieroglyphics
J Dilla
J-Live

Madlib - anything on Stones Throw
Mos Def (earlier stuff especially, black on both sides etc)
Percee P

Rasco
RJD2 - producers but well worth a listen
Rob Swift

Some ladeez: Azealia Banks

I listened to that 212 song non-stop for months.....amazing tune. Wasn't really that fussed on her other stuff though. For anyone who hasn't heard it.....it's well worth a listen. Bear in mind....it is very rude 😳

She has an album coming out "Broke With Expensive Taste" - it's not all brilliant, but the good stuff is really great.
Some of it is a bit r'n'b (I think she is trying for commercial success, unfortunately), but still ok by me.

Heard big things about this guy:

As an aside, probably not a thread to get into the rights/wrongs of the Ferguson situation... but here is Killer Mike - one half of aforementioned Run the Jewels - on stage last night & speaking about the current atmosphere of fear and anger.

Powerful language - and not even remotely safe for work.

The Nextmen 🙂

Spose?

Quite partial to a bit of the ol' Edan.

As a recommendation for something new I've only just realised this albums nearly 10 years old. I guess Hiphop doesn't date as fast as it used to - although not quoting the date in every track probably helps. Fresh for 88 you suckers.

Bit of quakers is nice too

Here are a few few albums as suggestions(the videos are tracks from the albums). None of them are straight up alt-hip hop but are some of my recent favourites.

Pillow Fight - Pillow Fight - 2013
Dan the automator (producer behind dr octagon) and emily wells . Its not hip hop but worth a lisen if your a DrOct/Deltron/Handsome fan.

No Malice - Hear Ye Him - 2013
former member of the Clipse and would probably have previously fallen under your class of gangsta rapper. he has now found christ and his albumms about self-improvement and repenting his past. These couldn’t be any less gangsta if it tried.

CAS - The number 13 - 2013
London MC playing with a mixture of different imageries in his lyrics. content mainly revolves around street level drug dealing and being a faceless undead deamon.

[i]Tyler the creator - Goblin - 2011[/i]

Goblin was a massive let down.
If you want a Tyler album, it's Bastard. free - [url= http://www.oddfuture.com/music/ ]Here[/url]
(Earl worth grabbing too)

This.

Cheers for all the suggestions, much appreciated. Holla.

Run the Jewels
El-P
Sage Francis
anything produced by J Dilla
Aesop Rock
Anti Pop Consortium
Beans
Dels
Sixtoo

Was listening to this on the way to work this morning and thought I would share, Shame the Devil is a very good album.

Also forgot to mention Delegates of Culture in my original post plus Carasel is worth a listen.

Ooh ooh another one from the latter part of 2014

Hail Mary Mallon - Bestiary

Me again!
Clipping. have just released another bonkers vid
