There is not a single one.

I take issue with the very foundations of the music so it's like "prove to him that this turd is edible unlike other turds".

If nothing else, he'll have to admit this is technically impressive. Well, unless he's one of those basic types.

Great album but its a bit misogynistic..some songs are unsettling.

Probably.

I told him to listen to Hamilton. And he talked how sick of Lin Manuel Miranda being in everything..

Probably just racist.

Depends on what exactly he dislikes.

DJ Quik makes great music, but people might be bothered by the lyrics. I could see one of my older relatives liking this song since it'san instrumental:

Summer Breeze might be a good one:

I never understood Kendrick being easy access to rap. Dude is complex and has a lot of stuff none rap fans wouldn't get the undertones of and just think it's ignorant, reinforcing their preconceived notions.

But it does seem like there are people who like Kendrick and don't like most rap so it's very possible Im just not seeing the accessibility because Im too deep in.

It would help knowing what music your uncle listens too. Because Metal fans are more kniwn to like Gangster Rap and Rock fans usually like less aggressive shit. My sister that likes rock loves The Roots - How I Got Over

Tribe Called Quest
"Low End Theory" and "Midnight Marauders" as mentioned, but also "People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm"

you want to look for rappers whose tracks sample music that's similar to what he listens to

Whats really weird is he keeps up with technology and movies..

When blu ray came out he adopted it quick. He has LED fixtures and smart controlled house..

But yeah hes stuck in the 60s on some things. I got him into Game of Thrones and Lord of The Rings at the least.

rap fans in general are some of the most close minded music fans to begin with, their musical opinion carries very little weight.

I think freestyles are a better way to get someone into rap so they can more easily see the clever word play. Take one of the great ones from The Five Fingers Of Death or find a good one where theyre doing words from a hat

Ill link some in a few when Im back at the PC

rap is the most obnoxious shit in the world. i cannot stomach rap the way i used to as a teenager.

the framed piece of paper hanging on my wall that says "bachelor of arts in music" strongly disagrees with you

Try to get to The Roots - How I Got Over. It's only 40 minutes long. Classic (excluding the bonus track)

If I am trying to convince someone that rap is good, then I would just think of and suggest guys like

Ice Cube.
Dr. Dre.
Eazy-E
N.W.A.
South Park Mexican.
Old school Eminem.
A few songs from Snoop Dog.

etc.

Yes, very. Both albums are better than any of their solo efforts.


This. It has a pretty wide appeal too. I could see non rap fans liking The Score. Im not much of a rap fan myself but I love that album.
