Hiphop and Rap

TaoTapeTao · Post by **TaoTapeTao** » Sun Mar 17, 2013 5:54 pm

I'm sure there's a topic buried somewhere in this thread but I'm lazy... so post any hip hop acts, (instrumental or not it don't matter) or rappers that you like or want to recommend.

I'll start by saying that 'Darc Mind' off Anticon are DOPE.

I need to re-listen to that Ghostpoet album.

Also, as I was listening to some Madvillain recently, I'm gonna reiterate how good some of that is.

And on a similar note... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WW-9TcDTKa8 DAT REGULAR SHOW SAMPLE

This song is stunning, the lyrics are the best I've heard in hip-hop. Such a shame he is no longer with us anymore, so talented.

This guy has some proper insights. Highly recommend this to everybody.

I used to be a massive hip-hop fan, but most of it leaves me a bit cold now.

I loved the Wu Tang Clan albums and most of the (early) solo albums from the members (Method Man's Tical and GZA's Liquid Swords especially).

I have been digging out some old Gravediggaz recently.

Dr Octagon's Dr Octagonycologist is essential. Bonkers, psychedelic hip hop.

I've been wanting to check out RJD2. I know I love his tune used in Mad Men.

I'm not really a big rap fan - I like what a lot of other people like. De La Soul, WuTang.

Oh yeah, I really like this old school track!

not in the circles I visit, but I think that Black Up is the best hip hop/rap record of the past 5/10 years, at least since Madvillainy.

also been repping this lately, Wu ain't dead!
