Some thing new

[DonD]

So i mainly listen to hip hop, im a huge eminem fan an i really like the 50, dre, jay z, Kendrick and a lot if other rappers but other than Kendrick new album i havent really discovered any thing new.

So i wanted some suggestions on some new guys i could check out (Based on the above names)

[MrSirShpee]

hm....

I honestly am not sure what I'd recommend to branch out. Obviously more west coast stuff is in order (Doggystyle by Snoop Dogg, for example). Maybe some older New York stuff since you like 50 and Jay?

In that case I'd recommend the following.

Nas - Illmatic

Wu-Tang Clan - Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)

Jay Z - Reasonable Doubt (if you haven't heard this one)

The Notorious BIG - Ready to Die

[DonD]

tbh i am going to get the jay z one

[MrSirShpee]

classic album. hope you like it

[andrew02020]

Agree to disagree.

[andrew02020]

If you like Eminem a lot you might like MF DOOM and Earl Sweatshirt.

[DonD]

hm never heard of mf doom i will check him out

[MrSirShpee]

lmao @andrew02020 had to come in with Hov slander

I was gonna recommend DOOM and Earl considering their technical skill (and DOOM is my GOAT) but they're extremely different from anyone you mentioned. The similarity they have to Em is mainly their intricate lyricism and rhyme schemes but in terms of delivery and production they're very different.

For DOOM I'd probably start with The Mouse and the Mask by DangerDOOM (DOOM x Danger Mouse). I'd say that's his most accessible project. Madvillainy by Madvillain (DOOM x Madlib) is generally considered his best album and it's where I started but it's a bit strange at times.

For DOOM I started with mm.. Food. If you can get past the skits I think it's his most accessible tbh. There's a reason Rapp Snitch Knishes is the song everyone thinks of when they think DOOM.

[MrSirShpee]

honestly MM... FOOD is his weirdest album to me. ify tho

[andrew02020]

It's weird because of the concept and the skits. The music itself is pretty accessible by DOOMs standards

[MrSirShpee]

I see what you mean, but the concept and skits are part of the album. I think if you can get past those you're good, yeah.

[jackhk]

my first doom was Madvillainy so personally i'd recommend that first. something about it, the short songs are easy to listen to and the concept of the villain aspect of DOOM is really prevalent

[andrew02020]

Also imo the skits for Mouse and the Mask are a lot weirder. Its got like an aqua team hunger force theme which is a lot weirder than some doctor doom samples

[MrSirShpee]

yeah the production and rapping overall is pretty accessible though. easily my least favorite DOOM skits tho I agree
