Oh man Death Grips would be a riot :rofl:

Also +1 for Danny Brown, think he’s established enough to get an entry now and his last album was fantastic

Oh, again not strictly hip hop, but Why? (And associated acts like cLOUDDEAD etc) could be interesting

None would go higher than Beasties but NWA, Snoop Doggy Dogg, Dr Dre and Eminem would be all interesting.

Would you include Dr Dre in the NWA one too? Oh - sorry separate. Just saw.

Think Dre is mainstream enough for his own thread as opposed to the others who might struggle to get to 50 votes.

You like what you like, of course. But It bums me out that people abandoned a genre that has more to offer than one branch of its tree. Street rap isn’t for everyone but there’s so many other avenues you could go down. And the term mumble rap should be banned from the internet :slightly_smiling_face:.

Thanks for clarifying - I did think the majority of what I said was positive, I guess you must read the negatives a lot elsewhere.

I have gone down several avenues, albeit not very far- and come to the general conclusion that the rap genre left me behind in the main. Same with dance music and some types of indie - I’d have been very happy if dance remained all synthesizer stabs and 150bpm drums or indie remained long-haired blokes in shorts and XL shirts, but it wasn’t going to happen.

As for β€œmumble rap”, I don’t think I’ve heard that as a term before, but I’ve heard plenty, admittedly mainstream, rappers talking into their boots.
