77jovian, I have been using YouTube to sift thru the many new releases. For instance, Rick Ross has a very nice song called "Sorry". So what I will do is pull up the full album and listen thru and see if I want to buy that album. Same with Kanye West. He has some great music which you can hear on YouTube. His "Late Registration" album is very cool. Listen thru it and see what grabs you. "Touch the sky" and "Heard em say" are on this record.
Hip Hop & Rap recommendations for Taters
There is a rather heated thread that is fairly universally bashing rap & hip hop here in the music section of the Audiogon forums. This is a thread to search for the best that the genre has. Please recommend artists, albums, and songs that you feel are the best that hip hop & rap have to offer. What tracks would you recommend to someone who enjoys music, but is quite far outside of the usual listening audience for hip hop and rap?
Here is the thread that inspired this post:

So, to start it off, I'll offer up a few of my favorites. I'll surely come up with a few more, but for now, this is where I would start. I hope you enjoy this challenge!

Boy oh boy Taters, you just don't get it. I tried. For some reason, you seem to prefer pointing out that other's preferences are poor rather than have any positive or meaningful discussion about music. But, to each his own. I found a t-shirt that you may like though! Click This Link |
