First full trap album that I liked

>LIVE BY DA GUN, IMMA DIE BY DA GUN
>FLOCKA

>>49434638
Labor Days is a 10/10

Maybe not underrated but defo slept on.

>>49434620
easily a 10/10

>>49434595
I think Flockaveli definitely gets all the credit it deserves

>>49434595
It gets boring after 2 songs.
Beats literally sound the same

>>49434683
What the fuck are you on
That album is essential

>>49434595
Are you fucking kidding, every white person flocks to this album as their token favorite "ignant rap" album

>>49434765
Yah but I'm not talking about what's underrated by casuals.

>>49434595

nah, that's rated just about right.

flockaveli underrated kek

>>49434942

Amazing album. I actually have a promo DVD of the video for the title track lying around someplace. I don't think I've seen him mentioned before on /mu/. Good call.

>>49434595

Great album!

Amazing instrumental album, L'Orange is for sure underrated!

SPARK!!

Do you like syrup splash? I like them both a ton but I find myself listening to syrup splash more. I hope sillhouette of a sunkken city comes out.

Also, he should not reveal his identity for a while. Capn murphy and droog revealed too quick

Why this album isnt discussed more is beyond me.

The future of hiphop

>>49434595

>>49435646

Sorry I'm leaning with Madvillainy here. If I had the power I'd make everyone listen to it at least once. Madlibs is one of my favorite producers.

Anything by Cormega

>>49434595

>>49435936
Because this site is full of fantandrones

>>49436001
Madlib is the man. I've been listeneing to a whole lotta lord quas lately

One of my favorite rappers with a great producer, check it out if you haven't!
I'm glad to see people posting stuff with Madlib and DOOM as well!

ITT: Overrated pitchfork meme garbage.

>>49436048
nah the album really sucked

>>49434620
Fredo went to shit

>>49436001
I love Madvillainy, it's just one of the most circlejerked hip hop albums on this board. Not as much as Kanye or Death Grips, mind you, but still.

>>49435121
>Captial STEEZ
What's a good album to start with? I've never heard this guy but I'm mildly interested after hearing Efrim talk about him at a show.

Why do people like trap music? It's everything that's bad about hip hop.

>>49436243
sure it is, if you have shit taste and only listen to one style of hip hop without branching out.

>>49436186
Why do you think that? Do you like other Shabazz palaces releases?

>>49436186
fantandrone spotted

>>49436221
He has one mixtape. Amerikkkan Korruption. I remember it being pretty solid, but I hardly ever go back to it.

Lese Majesty is shit, just 14 skits in 18 tracks album

>>49436286
I like plenty of hip hop styles.

Trap is by far the worst.

>>49436286
I'm not that guy but I have not really branched out into trap rap either. Would Flockaveli be a good place to start?

>>49436358
>muh lyrics

>>49436393
Whom are you quoting?

The beats and lyrics are trash. There's nothing good about trap you fucking pitchfork drone.

>>49436391
Just youtube some Flockaveli video and you'll get what this whole genre is about.

>>49436393

Any style of rap that completely ignores vocals is essentially just bleeps. Rap needs some kind of vocals.

>>49434595
how is that underrated ? people love that album

>>49436421

Is trap not based around albums like the rest of the genre, outside of top40 rap?

and no, eminem has never made anything good. not even SSLP shit that people go on and on about for whatever reason, it's not even good horrorcore

>>49436429

>>49436243
dude , are you seriously one of the people that say shit like "lil wayne and drake are destroying real rap" do u even know that there are emcees who rhyme over trap beats that have amazing flow and lyrics

>>49435750
loved it, i think he should never reveal it. dude hasent been active on the net in a while, hope he's not dead

>>49436446
There are trap albums but they're not really cohesive or anything, just a collection of "bangers."

>>49436516
What the fuck are you on about faggot? I never mentioned Eminem and I don't even like him, but you sure showed me by attacking his albums. :^)

Maybe I can use le rapgenius to understand these complex lyrics.

>>49436791
you must think you're pretty epic right now.

but anyways, Kool Keith is underrated and is also the best rapper

>>49435051
p4k underrated flockaveli

>>49436350
What are you talkinng about? There are no skits. just because there are some shorter songs, doesn't make them not songs. Stay pleb

>>49436718

Not him but Gucci is a pretty good lyricist and his flow can be amazing. I'd throw in T.I. there too when talking about the big, known, trap rappers.

Kevin Gates has some ace lyrics too and Lil Herb seems like he has all the potential (and he's good at the moment too). Stalito/Don Trip might be worth a punt too.

>>49436618

>albums just a collection of "bangers"

Sorry i tried to be open minded but this is essentially like defending Teenage Dream by saying, "Katy Perry wanted to make an album with no cohesion just to to house the radio singles". I am listening to Flockaveli right now and lyrics aside, the album is boring.

>>49436533

Rap with vocals = rap album

Rap without vocals= computer produced instrumental album

>>49436836
Recommend a good Gucci album in terms of a cohesive, interesting and lyrical brilliance. I'm talking about good delivery, flow and rhyming throughout the song not just cheesy clever one liners.

>>49437006

I mean to say in terms of album cohesion, interesting production/beats and lyrical brilliance.

>>49436954
Waka'a vocal stylization is one of the highlights of the album, but I'm not sure what any of this has to do with lyrics.

criminally underrated

>>49437006
Georgia's most wanted

>>49437006
>everything has to have "lyrical brilliance" to be good rap

the most backpack of backpacker opinions. i'm curious as to what rappers you actually like though

>>49436911
Nah, I'm not defending it. I'm the guy who hates trap. You're right, it's boring and uninspired.

>>49437119
thats not even a backpacker, thats just an edgy teenager whose concerned with being into "real rap"

>>49437119
He likes mfdoom and mad lib probably Aesop rock too

:^)

>>49437159
>lyrics are the whole reason I discredit trap rap

>>49437006

I mostly listen to his mixtapes, which tend to be a mixture of styles which would fall short of cohesive I imagine. There are some fantastic lyrics on the first Free Bricks tape, though if you plan to check any of the tracks out I urge you to try and find a noDJ version.

In terms of his actual albums Georgia's Most Wanted would probably be the best shout in that regards.

>>49437119

>I have no way to defend my ignorant rapper let me use "le buzzwords" to get out of this.

I will gladly list some of my favorite rappers:
>Kanye
>Death Grips
>Aesop Rock
>MF Doom
>Wu Tang, especially GZA
>Naz
>Kendrick
>Lupe
>Big K.R.I.T
>older Jay Z
>Biggie
>Shabazz Palaces
>clipping.

What about you anon?

>>49437149
You aren't wrong but that doesn't mean I can't enjoy other artist because obviously I do.

>>49437159
you're memetexting two different people. but go ahead and keep having shit opinions, retard. and you still haven't said any of these "lyrically brilliant" rappers you like

>implying that Illmatic wasn't one of the best albums in the history of rap.

I admit that he hasn't really made anything better but some of his stuff is borderline enjoyable.

>>49434595
Lol.

>>49437231
that's pretty much the exact list i was imagining you'd say. not to say it's all bad, but it's the most typical shit coming from someone with stupid opinions on what constitutes good rap

>>49437037
I actually want to get into K'naan all i know is that he made waving flag, would this be the album to start with ?

>>49437298

Lemme try again:

>Naz
>Not Nas

>>49437298
>good lyrics
>shit music

>>49437227
I know reading comprehension is difficult, but when someone claimed that Gucci Mane was a brilliant lyricist, other people started to ask for examples of said "brilliance." If no one wants to actually prove their point and just regurgitate the same MUH LYRICS meme that's fine, but this was in direct response to someone who was trying to prove that the lyrics are good.
>>49437240
What are you talking about m8? I asked the other person to provide brilliant lyrics and he didn't, instead I got people saying "only lyrics are important :^)"

This is like someone saying this guy is a great guitarist, and when asking for proof of this they respond "guitars are important :^)"

>>49437280
yes I know who fucking Pusha T is, Clipse is trap. go ahead and tell me Clipse is bad

>>49437341

So are you purposely ignoring the two album (well both the same album) recommendations in response to the request for examples?

Le brilliant lyrics. Truly the pinnacle of hip hop.

>>49437440
Sorry I'm not a p4kdrone.

>>49437329

>shit music

Ok so it may not have the "le bangers" like your precious trap music but to say it is shit music is more ignorant than any Chief Keef or Flocka lyric. The production is simplistic but Nas flows very well with the beat and that is what makes it enjoyable. I'm sorry the bass isn't exploding but that was not the point of the album, imo.

>>49437307

> it's the most typical shit coming from someone with stupid opinions on what constitutes good rap

I love how it is easy for you to criticize what I like but you fail to provide a list of the shit you enjoy. Just admit that regardless of what Fantano thinks trap is a shit genre and just because someone doesn't like it doesn't mean they only enjoy "conscious" rap.

>>49437490
I've never been to pitchfork once. but it's apparent you just spout shit and have never actually listened to them

>>49437490
>pointing out that Gucci has bad lyrics

Nigga, I don't thin you understand that not all hip-hop is about who can rhyme the fastest and with the most syllables

Trap and shit like that is fun as fuck, you don't want to be hearing fucking Aesop Rock in a club

Flockaveli sets out to be ignorant, loud and fun, and it accomplishes that

There's a time and place for all kinds of hip-hop, you should open up more and not be so closed minded; championing 'muh real hip-hop'.

>>49437580
>kanye west drone
>ive never been to pitchfork once

hahahaha

>>49437560
I don't only enjoy trap either, I'd be willing to bet our lists of favorite artists overlap quite a bit. just mine is much longer than yours since i'm not stupid enough to rule out entire subgenres and styles of rap

>>49437605
Holy fuck you people are stupid. Why the fuck are you trying to prove me wrong by citing Gucci Mane then getting pissed off when I point out it's shit? Are you faggots trying to pass off this trash as being lyrically brilliant or are you shitposting MUH LYRIC meme fags? Make up your mind.

>Trap and shit like that is fun as fuck
Fun is a buzzword for awful.

>>49437614
>I don't enjoy an entire subgenre of rap
>But I'm not stupid enough to rule out an entire subgenre of rap

>>49437490

No one called Gucci the pinnacle of Hip-Hop. People have pointed out in this thread that he can be lyrical and utilises a number of flows. One track cherry picked from that album isn't indicative of the entire piece. Not to mention when flow is taken into regard it's better to get a feel for the tracks/album as opposed to just looking up the lyrics. Listen to the title track from the album, wrapped up with all the talk of trapping and the usual subject matter there are stabs of introspection, word play and peaks behind the usual bravado and stuff. It tends to work when juxtaposed with the more cliched elements.

"Le"? Wow. I assumed reddit would hate Gucci since he didn't record Dark Side of the Moon.

>>49437490
>Le

get the fuck out

you absolute backpacking reddit ass faggot

>>49437689
where did i even remotely imply i don't enjoy any subgenres? with that level of reading comprehension i can only assume you only enjoy rap with "lyrical brilliance" because big words impress you

>>49437492
The music on illmatic sounded like every other album coming out at that time, literally no redeeming qualities.

>>49437614

>i like more rap
>I am superior patrician because I have a higher tolerance for bad music.

Fine you might actually have a longer list of favorites but all that it says is that you can't differentiate good music from bad music.

I would still like to see that list if you are not too embarassed.

Most people I talk to haven't even heard of this

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12Y-iVzo3H4

>that 2nd verse

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9mMfavxyFUI

>the flow on that hilarious racist rant at the end

>>49437782
ive heard of this album before, i havent given it a fair shot because everyone i talk to puts them in the same category as groups like binary star and people under the stairs, who are both extremely boring

>>49437308
No. Troubadour's probably the best to start with, because it's the most "classic" album and a decent middle ground between his "real rap" and "pop" styles. Or Dusty Foot Philosopher because it set up what people expected him to be, and was really really fucking good

Country God or the Girl was shat on by every critic for being "pop", but it had some amazingly sick rhymes, and some of the best pop-rap production and hooks outside of Kanye West's golden years. (As well as actually bringing back a lot of the African influences he dropped on Troubadour)

>>49437605

>Flockaveli sets out to be ignorant, loud and fun, and it accomplishes that

Great it is fine that it succeeded its low expectations but lil John, Big Sean and Wiz also succeed at making "le ignorant fun music" are you also going defend these talentless hacks? I have no problem with loud music, I like Swans is good for example, but club shit has no artistic merit as it is meant to be background music to dancing and drinking. That is like calling elevator music the greatest subgenre of pop because it was made for this situation.

>>49437748

Do you enjoy Immortal Technique and political rap like that?
What about memerap like Yung Lean, lil B and Kitty Pryde?

>>49437492
Illmatic is shit you fucking pleb

Doe or Die>Illmatic

idk if its really underrated but people dont talk about it that much on here

>>49437753

>no redeeming qualities

Is this really what you are going to argue?

All you are doing is disregarding lyrics which is just as bad as disregarding production and beats for the sake of lyrics

>>49437866
Immortal Technique is a good rapper, but his music itself is pretty boring and. and Lil B has a good mixtape. other two are bad all around

There's something really depressing about the idea of a skinny white kid sitting in his computer chair blasting WFF and screaming along like a retard. This music is literally made for going to clubs and dancing with retarded girls, not to sit at home and listen to on earphones.

>>49437753

I'm one of the guys arguing in favour of Gucci here but that's ridiculous. Even if you think the production is bland (mostly it's down to being dated) it was one of the earliest/largest albums to break free of the one producer mold at the time. That alone more than cements its reputation, especially when considering how production tends to be handled nowadays.

>>49437870
Not even a little underrated.

Kid Cudi was such a waste of potential.

He hasn't even smoked weed in years because he was 'tired of being associated with stoner culture.' Wow really Kid Cudi? Wonder how you got yourself into that situation.

>>49437941

>don't like these artists but I don't want to prove his point so I will only say nice things about them.

Fine only because I just finished Flockaveli I will say some nice things about WFF so that you stop implying that lyrics are the only thing I care about in rap.
He flows really well with his beats like this guy said:
>>49437035
He also is really good at making catchy hooks

Besides that the album was a complete waste of time and I would be very mad if I was listening to this outside of a really rachet party or club.

Immortal Technique is very technically and lyrically gifted I think his Spanish songs are some of my favorites, but only because I can actually understand all of the lyrics. His beats are incredibly repetitive and boring though I agree. I refuse to say anything positive about any of those memerappers though.

>>49438163
Ain't really memphis rap, more southern style like outkast

>>49438278
>don't like these artists but I don't want to prove his point so I will only say nice things about them

why are you creating conflict when i did absolutely nothing to imply that. Immortal Technique has some music I genuinely enjoy. you dismiss the others as memerap because it's the /mu/ thing to do. and I didn't say anything positive about yung lean or kitty, because they're entirely about the image, rather than the music. Lil B isn't completely amazing, but if i were to only listen to masterpieces i'd have like only 20 albums to choose from

u guys know hip hop exists before 2010 right?

>>49438278
Not the guy you're replying to, but Immortal Technique loses a lot of points for me because he tends to rap about a lot of loony conspiracy stuff. Socially conscious hip hop is good, but unfortunately most rappers are completely out of their element when they start talking about politics on a more global/national scale.

>>49435750
>>49435438

I find myself listening to #SWOUP Serengeti more

>>49438456

> unfortunately most rappers are completely out of their element when they start talking about politics on a more global/national scale.

Yea I agree IT is not exactly an expert on political theory and his music often reads like tinfoil hatcore and Communist propaganda but it is still interesting to hear what he has to say. I just with he would get a good producer to make combine his message with decent beats.

It's a mixtape, but whatever

You guys were right Gucci Mane- The Appeal: Georgia's Most Wanted is an enjoyable and objectively good ignorant rap album. I am the same guy that wasted an hour of his life listening to Flockaveli, shit album, but I have to admit that Gucci has some pretty good tracks.

>>49439358
thats not even his best. listen to mr. zone 6, trap back or the state vs radric davis. The state vs radric davis is his most mainstream album with less of a trap sound.

>>49435292

Nope never again but I will check out the other two thanks anon

>>49439481

>>49434595
Actually a fucking great album, trapped so hard, every damn song
.>>49436047
I like that little weapon song but that's all I've heard

Not underatted, but only if he didn't like fade away, such a great artist but he stooped away from the scene for reasons I fail to understand.

>>49439790
It would be a good album if the "wooooo kiiiiiiiiiiiid" mark was taken off every song, otherwise the songs are good.

>>49439790

I haven't but the ignorant NEETs on HNHH seem to hate it so I'll check it out

>>49439390
The State vs. Radric Davis is pretty good as well I'm currently listening to it and to this point it is better than Georgia's Most Wanted.

everyone no's dat only le redditors no wut le means xDdd nice le meme!

>>49435936
because it was released like two months ago? Give it time you fucking pleb, plus its a shit album

>>49437868

Problem with Doe or Die is that even though AZ has a nice flow he didn't really create something timeless or even memorable on that album. I mean, still a solid 8 for me, but could have been so much better if AZ truly showed his skills as a rapper.

Oh well, too late now

>>49438456

Yeah, Killer Mike and Lupe do the same shit. I really only listen to their music because, I mean, it is interesting, even if nonsensical. Like, take Morrissey. He may be crazy, but he's still somewhat interesting to listen to.

>>49437308
>>49437820
you guys should listen to Dusty Foot Philosopher on the Road, it's a live album. I can't listen to his studio stuff after listening to it, he is so much better live. You can really feel the struggle and the emotions in his voice when he floats away
