Reccommend me some music

[cd338]

Music I like:
Aceyalone (favorite)
CVE (NgaFsh/Riddlore in specific)
Myka 9
Ellay Khule
MF Grimm (NOT MF Doom though)
Kool Keith and all his personas
Del the Funky Homosapien
Pigeon John
some Busdriver
some Abstract Rude
some Rakim

thats basically stuff I like. I don't care about production as much as I do lyrics, and I really like it if there's a story. Not just your regular run-of-the-mill stuff. I bought Buckwild's CD of remixes and although they were really good, I never got too much into it. Same with Omid's Beneath the Surface CD.

I don't want stuff where you can hardly understand the person.

Any years are fine. Try to keep it out of the 80s though.

Thanks!

Any more?

Can we assume you've already got most of the '92-2000 era classics? If not there are probably at least a few albums you've missed out on.

What about Curtis Mayfield's first 3 albums(Curts, Roots, Superfly)? Not hip hop but arguably a huge influence on hip hop (especially Superfly) and will blow away most hip hop fans who've not heard them.

They sound interesting. I'll check out that album some more. Thanks!

I got most of the discographies from the artists I listed. Besides that, assume I know NOTHING.

I've heard some stuff from Mayfield and while he is a great artist, he's not quite what I'm looking for. Thanks for the recommendation, though.

Have you checked out the rest of the Hiero crew since you like Del? What about Freestyle Fellowship since you like Acey?

I could give a list of about 30-40 90s era classics for starters but I figured you probably had a lot of stuff already.

[cvac]

Here is my list of classics/bangers:

Pretty typical list, but whatever.

Cannibal Ox: cold vein (one of my top 5 hip hop albums of all time)
Nas: illmatic (nothing like the later commercial stuff he did, another in the top 5)
Freestyle Fellowship: inner city griots
Goodie Mob: soul food
A Tribe Called Quest: first 3 albums (people's instinctive; low end theory; midnight marauders)
De La Soul: first 3 albums (3 feet high; de la soul is dead; buhloone mindstate)
Abstract Tribe Unique: south central thynk tank
Redman: first 2 albums (whut thee album, dare is a darkside)
Artifacts: between rock and a hard place
Pete Rock and CL Smooth: mecca and the soul brother (fave); main ingredient
Talib Kweli: reflection eternal
Black Star: self-titled
Dalek: from filthy tongues; absence; abandoned language; gutter tactics (hard noisy beats, great lyrics, dark. never talked about on message boards for some reason, sounds like nothing else period)
J-Live: the best part (got this recently, blown away)
Jurassic 5: self-titled
Roots: first 3 albums (organix; do you want more; illadelph halflife)
Lootpack: soundpieces
O.C.: word...life
Jay-Z: reasonable doubt (way different than the later popular stuff he did)
Gang Starr: step into the arena; daily operation (fave); hard to earn; moment of truth

Lords of the Underground: here come the lords
Das Efx: dead serious
Digable Planets: reachin' (very underrated group, top notch production and unique lyrical style)
KRS-ONE: return of the boom bap
Pharcyde: first 2 albums (bizarre ride; labcabincalifornia)
Common: resurrection (another in the top 10 of all time, if not top 5)
Wu Tang Clan: 36 chambers (living under a rock if you don't have this)
GZA: liquid swords
Raekwon: only built for cuban linx (very storylike. totally over my head when it came out)
Outkast: atliens
Showbiz and AG: runaway slave
Souls of Mischief: 93 til infinity
Casual: fear itself
Hieroglyphics: 3rd eye vision
Company Flow: funcrusher plus
Organized Konfusion: stress
Main Source: breaking atoms
The Coup: genocide and juice
Xzibit: at the speed of life (great overall, nothing like the later stuff)
Hobo Junction: the cleaners
Mystik Journeymen: 4001; worldwide underground


Public Enemy: it takes a nation; fear of a black planet (80s but can't understand how you dig hip hop but don't like these-holds up better than anything else from the 80s IMO)

Yeah I have about 60% of this. But I'll definitely check out the other 40%!
But yes I do have all the Freestyle Fellowship/Hiero/Haiku D'etat albums.
Thank you!

how can we possibly recommend you anymore music...seems like you got your shit straight:D j/k

i guess if you like project blowed stuff you should check out thirsty fish, acid reign and dumbfoundead, superbarriobrothers, that kenny segal album and Dr.oop's blacklove radiators.

and also based on that list...i would highly recommend you check out people under the stairs, panacea, pseudo slang, one.be.lo, moka only....shit i don't know, some galapagos4 stuff like qwel, mestizo, robust, outerlimitz.

explore a little;)

[ljthockey]

Heres some good story/concept songs by Elzhi. If you haven't gotten into him, Europass and Preface are both ridiculously dope.

I would also recommend all of WesSezSos' list. All very good and not quite discovered on a bigger scale. I would also recommend Y Society, Damu the Fudgemunk (producer), Oddisee, Bisc 1, Johnson and Jonson, Asheru and Blu Black, Ken Starr, Cyne.

Keep diggin':D

buff 1
This one.

[diggingdeep]

buff 1 <--- This one.

yeah, that knonam, buff 1, big jess, unknown prophets is some slept on midwest flavor! most heads not from those areas just jump on atmosphere, brother ali maybe, which is cool, but there is so much more thats out there too.

i need to put buff 1 albums back in rotation. i played him alot while riding this past winter season. the homies digged the buff 1 and knonam as well. all of that big jess/unknown prophets shit is just as tight, just on a more personal vibe level for me, i dont think i bumped it alot while in the ride with friends - i dont know why thou, i like his high rule album. i am going to put that big jess album on right now...:dance: and go get:p outside homies.

"I am 30, dress like i am 17, drink like i am 21, think like i am 70...."big jess:bow: (note to self - you must get super hi to think like youre 70) now going outside.
