Mine:

Late Registration
MBDTF
College Dropout

Graduation
Watch the Throne (If you wanna count that as an album of his as well even though it's joint)
808's & Heartbreaks

O.o first time I heard thatobit cool haha.


Soooooooooooo... No York, I don't like it. Well it's okay but extremely inconsistent. My Subshine is about as good as it gets to me. Nigga smokes wayyyyy top freakin much....

 

[soap]

ya No York was definitely out there

It was kinda entertaining jus cuz it's so weird, but I don't know if I like it.

I liked Jazmine/jazz men

Kid Cudi got me into rap.

 

[Thino]

a Tribe Called Quest got me into rap , even if they don't really rap but that counts for me

 

[Suspect]

Kid Cudi got me into rap.

I like the beat/instrumentation

 

[Jane]

i think em got me into rap... well, he was the first rapper i really listened to, anyway.

my freshman year of high school i just didnt even really listen to music. when someone asked me what kind of music i listened to i didnt really know what to say haha. i would just stumble and blurt out some bands i thought were cool at the time.

sophomore year i was more into music, albeit more radio rock/post-hardcore stuff.

my junior year, i dont know what happened. but i noticed i was listening to more hiphop. and then i noticed i kept falling more and more in love with it. junior year i also got into a lot of death metal and hardcore stuff.

and ever since then, my love for just music in general as kept on growing and growing. i dont think it will ever stop. hiphop will always be my number one though.

 

[#HBC | Mac]

growing up in a primarily black area during the 90s got me into rap.

eminem made me actually really appreciate it at a deeper level though

 

[soap]

Hip Hop my main bytch, I got a few on the side - Black Thought

 

[Y.b.M.]

Haha thanks Soap...

 

[T3h Albino]

I uhh, never really liked rap very much.

I remember listening to a lot of Jay-Z and LL Cool J *I don't ****ing know it's what my dad always had playing*.

Then one day me and my dad were going on a long rode trip *like 6 or 7 hours*, and we stopped by the old record store. He picked up Kanye's newest album at the time "Late Registration". After listening to it I basically had an epiphany and fell in love with the genre.

Still my favorite album to this day, and my favorite musician =]

College Dropout = Late Registration > MBDTF > Graduation = 808 > Watch The Throne

That's how I see's it~

 

[MBlaze]

that explains alot

Lmaooo this guy.

 

[Crooked Crow]

Aesop Rock got me into rap seriously- his music helped me through some rough patches in my life too.

 

[rhan]

Em brought me to rap.
Old school Wayne brought me good main stream.
Cater II Wayne brought me to underground.
Hopsin kept me underground.


sup niiggaz.

[Sinji]

nas got me into rap
common got me into soul
when lauryn hill left the music i left soul
kanye and lupe got me back into soul
em teaches me about the want for something till this day
J.cole and Kendrick Lamar got me into believing into hip hop heroes.

 

[MBlaze]

Speaking of Kendrick Lamar, I'm gonna download Section.80 soon. I've heard a few verses of his and he's fire it seems, and I heard the Mixtape was fire as well.

Edit: Can't be serious.... US is dumb as fuck http://www.diversehiphop.com/blog/2011/09/lil-wayne-added-to-2012s-guinness-book-of-world-records/

 

[gunterrsmash01]

Pac got me started. Then I heard nas and mobb deep and got REALLY into it. I'm honestly more into the production/beats part of hip hop though.

But yeah I was probably in like 9th or 10th grade when I was really getting into like nas, mobb, Biggie, cormega, CNN, wu tang, dipset, LOX, fabolous, cassidy, Big L, Big Pun etc....then I just expanded my taste and got into ALL types of rap.

Now I'm always listening to different **** I really have no particular niche in rap. I could be listening to some classic Common or Lupe one minute, and the next minute the new waka and gucci lol. Raekwon or odd future one minute and wiz khalifa or 50 cent the next.. thats pretty much how i dooze it. I also do not listen any other genre

Also Alchemist is my favorite producer, I'll listen to anything he comes out with

Also... i just realized how big this year has been for Hiphop. Eminems reunion, carter IV (not saying its good), big seans debut (not saying its good), RED album, WTT, Cole World, Take Care, Section 80, and a bunch of other ****. Yelawolf and Big krits debut coming... Section 80, wiz's mainstream debut lol. and so much more...

Idk how much more there is than that, pretty much summed up anything notable for the year besides No York I suppose..

 

[ETWIST51294]

WHAT ABOUT GOBLIN

 

[gunterrsmash01]

Goblin definetly, I dont like the album because I always compare it to basturd, which is a better effort to me. But goblin was received pretty well. the new Mobb Deep should squeeze in before 2012. Evidence and blu both have albums comin.....Wu tang and d block collabed which is pretty epic in hip hop..hmm theres so many things happening I'll just save it for a post at the end of the year

 

[soap]

I like alot of different electronic genres too, and a bunch of alternative/indie rock bands.

but, mostly hip hop these days. I prefer the above genres live more.

Hip Hop is cool live too, but alot of rap artists aren't that good at putting on live shows, even tho they may sound good on record.

 

[Luigitoilet]

I don't really have a preferred genre. I listen to mostly experimental death metal or noise type music...and hip hop more than anything else, lol.

 

[MBlaze]

Hip hop first for me, R&B secondary, open to anything else but doesn't mean I'll be an avid listener of the genre.

 

[soap]

lmao at this Lil Jon feature

first Yelawolf track I've actually listened to. I kinda like him, I'm sure he has better tracks tho. Somebody post something.

 

[Matador]

I would, but I don't have much from him either.

Liked his verse on Worldwide Choppers tho.

 

[Boofy!]

what are your guys opinions on asian rappers?

 

[Suspect]

Only asian rapper i've heard is Jin unless you count L-Vokal (j-pop) as one. Jin was nice and is still ok with the words...he's turned all christan rapper now, cant make music for ****. I like L-Vokal.

yes yes download section80. i see in kdot what i used to see in kanye. someone who could make great music while keeping the lyricism 100000% on point. (kanye still makes great music but the lyricism is steadily declining)

and lol at wayne's two broken records.

I could be listening to some classic Common or Lupe one minute, and the next minute the new waka and gucci lol. Raekwon or odd future one minute and wiz khalifa or 50 cent the next.. thats pretty much how i dooze it.

sounds a lot like me haha. also, good to finally have someone in the thread from southern cali. we used to have a bay representative, plus homemadewaffles occasionally stops by, but never a steady socal member. welcome to the family :D

what are your guys opinions on asian rappers?

Uhh, I don't know that many. I like Shing02 a lot, but he's basically the only Asian rapper I know. And I only really know of him through producers like Nujabes and Marcus D.

[T3h Albino]

Section.80 The best project I've heard all year...

Asian rappers?
Marcus D, Shing0, Dumbfoundead, Jin, Tantrum, Traphik, D Pryde I guess...

Some of them are dope, other overrated like hell~
