gucci mane - writing on the wall
young dro - best thang smokin

8ball & mjg - comin out hard, on the outside looking in, in our lifetime vol 1
three 6 mafia - mystic stylez, most known unknown, any 90s solo album you can find

also like, everything brick squad but that's like a whole other really long post
i don't generally like purist/conservative/revivalist junk but freddie gibbs - midwestboxframecadillacmuzik & big krit - krit wuz here are two notable exceptions to that

ima be charitable and *links you to songs everybody in the world should have memorized at age 15 as if they aren't embedded in every rap listeners subconscious, out of a reactionary fear of contemporary black culture*

this goes for all rap honestly, screw had an encyclopedic knowledge of the music and if you listen to enough of his stuff you're going to get a full grounded in every strand of southern rap / bay area mob shit / east coast 808 jams / l.a. thug rap. rip screw

i like that freestyle
blinkandwheeze posted:on the real tho even if you don't fuck with how it sounds out of conservative aesthetic sensibilities, it's doing a real disservice to the culture to malign contemporary rap because of this, the strength of hip-hop is that it's a constantly mutating cultural logic that will always house the perspectives that are marginalized by everything else and i think because of this we have the responsibility to understand it on it's own terms ...
