I was accidentally reading ST this morning when I realized that none of the nerds over there know shit about hip-hop. It's all I listen to, whether training, driving, relaxing...even both times I've had sex. Mostly 90s NYC stuff (Wu-Tang, Nas, Mobb Deep, Lauryn Hill, Biggie) and lately a lot of Kendrick. What are some of your favorites?

Lately I've been listening to
- Pusha T's Daytona- Some good, some not so good.
- Ill Bill x Dj Muggs - Kill Devil Hills, fantastic album from 2010.
- Black Thoughts EP, best rapper alive currently. Can't wait for a full length.
- Czarface & MF Doom from earlier this year. Some great, some not great.
- The new Denzel Curry was a "not good" in my opinion compared to Imperial
Now we have a metal thread and a rap thread... yes.
My interest is very specific, very limited, but very high quality.

Good call on Black Thought @Granpa Chook. For those unfamiliar, enjoy.

I was too pissed when Disco killed the Funk scene to move into hip hop, I'm sure I'm missing lots.

Was also into Kid and Play, Rob Base, Run DMC.
@Matt great video. Along those skillful lines, some of my favorite albums of the last few years was Ka - Honor Killed the Samurai, and Aesop Rock - Impossible Kid.
Also if you find yourself on the internet too much, you probably could benefit from listening to this guy

My favorite doctor (Dre) is notably missing from the above mentions. I came home from elementary school rapping NWA once (because that's what the bus driver played) and that's probably the closest I ever came to being on the receiving end of corporal punishment.
Early Busta was a great intersection of pop-rap (in a positive way) and unique delivery/humor/aggressiveness. He just went into the pop spectrum way too much in the late 90s which lost me completely. Kind of like Redman (Muddy Waters is a fantastic album actually).
@bbculp @AaronWebstey Good that you directed him to those two. Any rap education needs to start there. 36 Chambers especially will set off a whole flow chart of amazing albums. Get ready Webstey these will get you through the Canadian winter
36 chambers > 1st round solo (Cuban Linx, Tical, Liquid Swords, ODB) > Wu-Tang Forever > Ghostface Albums (Ironman, Supreme Clientele, Fishscale, Apollo Kids) just keep going and going
I've seen Gza perform Liquid Swords 4 times. It's a great show, as long as you're OK with him getting on stage 1-3 hours late.
@AaronWebstey I'm jealous you get to experience all this for the first time. It's like my wife who's watching Sopranos for the first time right now. I wish I could go back and enjoy what it was like.
