You looking for stuff that's a bit older or a bit more recent?

I can give a bunch of reccs when I'm on break at work


Good question - tbh I dont really mind although I certainly prefer your older generation of rap to the newer. Chuck your recommendations through regardless it'll be appreciated :)

One thing I like about the rappers I've included, their lyrics are quite nerdy and include a lot of pop culture/video game references etc. but thats not essential

Thanks for the recommendation - I knew his song "I don't fuck with you" but hadnt heard his others. I like Nothing is Stopping You, I Don't Fuck With You & Champions so far - but Bounce Back and Aries not a huge fan of.

I've noted him down and will listen to more, thanks again for your recommendation!

I didn't like Shoota, but enjoying Magnolia & wokeuplikethis.

Thanks for the recommendation, not quite the style I was looking for tbh but he's a good rapper nonetheless! Have noted him down for later!

I knew Aesop & Lupe - they're very similar to other artists that I'm after as well.

Listening to JID - Off Deez which is good. Also like NEVER.

Really liking the vibe of Denzel Curry too.

FYI to all - I'm playing top songs on spotify and kind of skipping through the song to get an idea of the style/lyric style so if I say I'm not a lover of one of your favourite songs... chances are its not my expert opinion :P

The 2 songs you named are pretty meh imo. Thank goodness a lot of his songs are of the caliber of Nothing is Stopping you or higher. In fact, this us the next song on that album:

Oddisee seems up your alley.

P sure he was on the same label as open Mike eagle at one point.

This is prob his most known song.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E2Snh2NZHhk" data-time="


Every album he put out where he raps is good. He was a producer first so he's got more instrumental albums than rap but you might like those too.

Aesop rock collaborated with Tobacco from black moth super rainbow for a pretty trippy synth driven hip hop album.

And Shad is probably my favorite Canadian rapper

2nd this.

Also Immortal Technique (theyve done collabs with him too).

Someone mentioned Wu Tang but a lot of the individual members have released great albums on their own as well.

2 examples

Raekwon- Only Built 4 Cuban Linx (94)
RZA- Birth of a Prince (03)

anyway:

MF DOOM - check out Mm.. Food and Madvillainy, then branch out from there imo

Noname - she doesn't have that much stuff, but she's one of my favourites

Earl Sweatshirt - go in order of release imo - Earl, Doris, I don't like shit, Some rap songs. his early stuff is super raw and it's all great

Tribe Called Quest - my favourite is Low End Theory but you honestly can't go wrong with them. People's Instinctive Travels, Midnight Marauders, and We Got it from Here are awesome

Guru's Jazzmatazz series is another solid one

I also highly recommend early Kanye - Through the Wire, College Dropout, Late Registration (my personal fav of his and probably in my top 5 hip hop albums ever), and Graduation

I'm a big fan of the Doppelgangaz, they rap about a lot of weird nerdy shit and their production has this really cool, dusty lo-fi quality to it. Lone Sharks, Peace Kehd, Hark, Dopp Hopp, and AAAAGGGHH are all solid albums plus they have a bunch of instrumental albums too

Avantdale Bowling Club is the only "Real Rap" I find myself coming back to constantly. Guy just raps about everything and is so honest and vulnerable about it.

If you want some hard gangster shit, Freddie Gibbs is the guy on top of it right now.
