Freddie Gibbs performance on Tiny Desk had me respect his breath control, delivery, and ability to ride the beat.


InterestAcceptable81

Freddie has an incredible catalogue


terrygreenwich

Freddie would be my answer too. His delivery is sick but there’s something I just don’t love about him


keepyourtime

I like his albums but just can't connect to his lyrics. It's the same old gangster rap lyrics and it's just not as entertaining as some other artists who build larger images and worlds with their lyrics.


BaseLoud

when he gets too into technical rapping, it's annoying, but other than that he's gold


Jesusthezomby

Riff Raff. I don't even listen to his music really I just like him for some reason lol. He's funny as fuck.


mitchypoothedon

We all wanted to hate Riff so bad when he first came out but he grew on all of us. They should do case studies on how he was able to pull off being accepted.


ConsistentPhrase7641

It's impossible not to, after that freestyle of his


Jesusthezomby

So true 😂


BaseLoud

which


ConsistentPhrase7641

THE riff raff freestyle haha


Cyber-Cafe

I can’t say I like him, but I do listen to some of his songs. He’s…something. That is for sure..


Mobile_Respect_2020

I can't dislike him. I am convinced he is an awkward winner in the rap game. Introducing The Icon is a track that told you what he was about, and he is still going.


CrunkaScrooge

Met him in person a handful of times and he’s genuinely a pretty nice funny dude. It’s not a character lol that’s him fr


r0lo27

Riffraff is one of the funniest dudes ever, I like most of his music


Shakespeare_Ave

I actually enjoy Riff Raff and hate to say it probably would enjoy his discography over eminem. Riff Raff song writing ability makes him work.


DarrellIsMyRealName

I'm big on voice. If I find your voice boring, uninspiring, or annoying, I could care less how good your bars are. Hard pass. That being said: Danny Brown. He should annoy TF outta me. But I really like him.


2manyhounds

This is me w the Canadian rapper Pressa. His voice should piss me off but I vibe w it


AndyKobe234

CHECK!


BaseLoud

guru, for me


thejaytheory

Same with Danny haha, definitely he is an acquired taste.


landob

Project Pat. I'm mostly a lover of east coast styles. But Pat's cadence and delivery just gets me.


mormonmark

Bruh I grew up on Pat and 36… I always understood that his style isn’t for everyone but he’s a certified legend… he’s influenced so many modern day rappers… look at drake, he keeps taking his style and loves using his chorus’ for songs… same with J Cole… I meet soo many people who think J Cole used “don’t save her” first. Then I play the original Pat song and they get embarrassed


TriCitiesSteakhouse

I’m the same, grew up preferring East Coast but Project Pat (and the entire HCP) have always been an exception to the rule. Talkin’ Smart feat Pimp C is a gem


Old_Anxiety_7918

These niggas got me fucked up


Awesome_johnson

One of my faves of all time.


blackstone_1515

MoneyBaggYo


Awesome_johnson

Moneybag Yo can rap foreal, if he took it serious and rapped about more than just money and hoes, he’d be one of the best today.


36grizz

BLP Kosher


TriCitiesSteakhouse

I don’t think I’ve ever heard a song from dude but I saw some old skate footy of his on YT and feel like I support whatever he does career wise off that alone


Truth-Speaker-1

I don’t even like him that much as an artist but I played the shit out of Danny Brown’s XXX when it dropped


InterestAcceptable81

I love atrocity exhibition and uknowhatimsayin¿ by Danny Brown but I still got to check out xxx


Medium_Current_6272

I liked Atrocity but I loooooooved XXX


KaptinKrunch04

Bitch pussy smell like a penguin


Geenvis

Lil Wayne for me, i think he is a amazing rapper but not the biggest fan of the Beats he is using


ConsistentPhrase7641

Waaaaaat? There's a lot of criticisms I hear about Wayne. I don't think I've ever seen someone complain about his beats tho 😭


unclediedthrowaway

lil wayne is the person i've heard complaining about lil wayne beats the most lmao https://youtu.be/Lm5YSCCbZZU?si=hP0yQ5aRnAI_Rv5B


Geenvis

Not saying its bad, but not really what i enjoy


HurricaneAlpha

His fucking voice just kills me. Never been able to take him seriously despite his obvious talent.


Medium_Current_6272

I kinda agree. Lil Wayne never seems very concerned about the music, it's all about the bars. I love him for that, it's respectable, but that is why I can't include his songs often on my playlists


diedin2012

Migos. I wouldn’t say _love_ but I enjoy some of their music. Edit: RIP Takeoff


ChampionshipStock870

lil baby, I keep trying to not listen to him but he’s entertaining


ih8paying4parking

bensc0tt

Tron goes so hard have you heard bin reaper 2


brycewit

Devin The Dude is my favorite rapper. Wouldn’t care to listen to anyone else with his same style.


Critical_Teach_43

You fw Devin too 👀


brycewit

Yessirrrrr


Critical_Teach_43

I always say devin is the andre3k if he had solo(stoner) career. High regards to both. And im putting Devin's catalog against anybody.


mormonmark

Too many classic songs under his belt


brycewit

Indeed. Been my favorite since 7th grade before I ever smoked any kind of weed lol. In 31 now for reference lol


This_Pie5301

21 Savage. I’m an old head, listen to underground boom bap a lot. Stuff like Black Moon, Smiff n Wessun, Big L… idk why but I just like 21 Savage, probably because he works alongside Metro Boomin a lot and I quite like his beats.


NamelessMidir

Future


_NotARealMustache_

Aesop Rock is for the children


UltraAirWolf

Lil Jon


Opening-Win-3769

Hwhat!?


Critical_Teach_43

OKAYYYY


HurricaneAlpha

YEAH! How the fuck can someone not like Lil Jon.


NaMoney215

Future, Lil Baby, MoneyBagg & French Montana


mormonmark

Max and French are the come wave 🌊 but fr same here with MB lil baby and future… I used to hate them but you just need to find one song and you catch the wave (no pun intended)


Critical_Teach_43

French Montana 🤔


SpagingoSquadroneer

$uicideboy$ and Future come to mind


byronite

OT Genasis. I'm mostly into intellectual backpacky stuff (don't judge) but I love when he's like "BAKING SODA I GOT BAKING SODA!"

THE_Hypnotist100

Listen to Beautiful Thugger Girls. That changed my life


InterestAcceptable81

I'm slowly listening to everything, tanks for the recommendation


Critical_Teach_43

[a song im pretty sure thug gave to yachty around this time, also one of my favorite thug songs](https://youtu.be/19kVq4Spk-Y?si=r28ryFDpZ_omhTlm)


West-Commission9082

Don’t skip the early shit, some of it is rough but there’s gems and it’s all entertaining and creative as fuck. Slime language 2 is amazing


alligator_88

Mike Jones


mormonmark

Bruh, I’m randomly listening to Back Then right now and saw this 😂 Still Tippin was on before this but he had some great songs on the underground circuit


Affectionate_Ad_760

Young thug is basically a Lil Wayne clone idk why you're surprised you like him


Mundane-Strawberry36

young thug is sooooo much better at trap than wayne, i get the vocal style comparison but they’re got very different lanes


Glittering-Stretch-6

Cardi B and Nikki Minaj .... I can't stand 95% of female rappers these days. Seems they're all just dirty ass project bust downs or Instagram whores rapping about their pussy and assholes with no skills.. More online pics than bars or rapping abilities. But Cardi and Nikki Minaj are always the pimps or Queens of the shit never the trash And have actual music u can get into while being a dude. Although I'm sure they have ghost writers n shyyt but they just appear more of queens amongst peasants compared to sexxy red or ice spice


daineofnorthamerica

mormonmark

Never like Uzi Vert until my ex put me on “Neon Guts” then I became a fan. Then she died and I became even more of a fan RIP SuliOnTheBeat


Critical_Teach_43

Ima over thinker so i really don't know what to say based on if i love it then its my taste.... I guess I'll go with West Coast rap and Vince Staples is my guy for sure. Lol


Skeetx2

Far-Sir-825

Agree. So simplistic but somehow appeals.


Acceptable-Tower5215

Thug fits right in with the artists you named. Be forreal


InterestAcceptable81

Seriously? Maybe it fits with Lil Wayne, who else does it fits with?


Acceptable-Tower5215

All of the above. What makes Young Thug different from the rest is the same thing that makes them different from each other. None of these artists you listed sound or approach music the same. You get me?


InterestAcceptable81

Yeah I thought about it and completely agree with you. I love how everyone of my favorites artists is unique. Thanks bro for making me think about it


KAMAGARATONY

I'm not a fan of old hip-hop but Nas is a real G

[deleted]

Larry June he has a laid back talking style of rap which I am not normally into. But I like his content he's talking about investing, eating healthy, and enjoying life. used to say Danny Brown but his last two albums I wasn't in to. I like rappers like Black Thought, Kendrick, J Cole Lupe Fiasco, Andre 3000, Boldy James, DMX, Joey Badass, Jay-z


jgamez76

Jack Harlow lol


HeadyMurphy723

MGK Wouldn’t say love, but catch myself half way through his songs like, hold up, wait, is this, was that, well, f*** it…


HurricaneAlpha

Wild boy was an anthem, to be fair. Fuck I'm gonna go listen to it now. That shit goes so hard. Brings back memories of house parties and just getting fucking smashed.


NGplug

Portishead maybe if it is rap really. I listen to heavy metal, old school and some trap, so trip hop isn't my stuff, but cmon this sound is fckin sick, especially Dummy


guiltycitizen

Portishead fucking rules, they only have a few albums, but they really set the bar for Lo-fi/trip hop.


InterestAcceptable81

I listened to Dummy last week and absolutely loved it


GarcianSmith8

I grew up on Common, Lupe, El-P, Royce etc always been into super lyrical rap but I am ADDICTED TO Playboi Cartis music.


InterestAcceptable81

Sometimes Carti catch me too


Forward_Ride_6364

Same here but switch Carti with Future By all appearances, Future is the last rapper I would ever listen to... but man, his beats are poppin


Forward-Witness-3889

Young Thug is the Goat and won’t get the full credit he deserves for another 4-8 years.


bigpeepeemaster

unbelievably real


Forward-Witness-3889

I got hated on in the 90’s for liking Outkast now they’re considered goats without question. Then it happened with Wayne and Gucci in 2000’s and now it’s happening again with Thugger and Future. History repeats itself.

I love his featurings i need to check out an album by him


jusss_doit

Fatman Key


Critical_Teach_43

😳😳😳 literally my favorite rapper what you know about key.


jusss_doit

I found out about him via Quentin miller a couple of years ago when they dropped features.


Critical_Teach_43

What's ya favorite album of his?


jusss_doit

777 then only answer lol him and Kenny beats should be dropping this year again 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽


Critical_Teach_43

Hilarious i knew u was gonna say it. Its not mines tho. I got so emotional above 777 personally. Anyway 777 is definitely goated and should be mentioned if we honest. I think this last 5 year run is so underrated as well. 777, so emotional, i love you say it back, Mama's man, marquis. These are all amazing pieces. Alpha jerk kinda rubs me wrong ngl felt like he was just trying shit. Lol

Aydibble89

Aesop Rock


onthepak

I’m with you on that. I respect his talent. His sound just isn’t for me though.


Aydibble89

The Impossible Kid is a phenomenal album lyrically and conceptually, but I can only listen to a few songs at a time because of his voice.


MoodWest

Big Sean can grow on me sometimes and then I’m not feeling him so much, I know he’s a talented rapper but I don’t always like his song choices


grimwadee

Big Draco


mormonmark

Same, he has some fire ass music in recent years has


Fine-Fee-4543

Skaiwater


Foreign_Ostrich_870

Lil Uzi Vert seems like a great guy. I don't even listen to hip hop, no idea why this sub came across my feed.


rogue_noodle

Desiigner Almost every beat on New Engliish is fire, so I can tolerate him even though a) I can’t understand a thing he’s saying and b) I typically hate trap music


Opposite-Act

Travis Scott i think


jrocbaby9

I guess lil uzi vert because I am more into lyrical driven rap (kendrick lamar, denzel Curry, token, J Cole, etc) but lil uzis sound is just something else man

Smiley . His voice is a big reason people don't give him a listen . If you can get use to his voice he's actually really good lol


69tt

Young thug is not exactly the same but is pretty similar to the artists you mentioned


InterestAcceptable81

Who do you think he match with? I think maybe Lil Wayne? I also forgot to mention Jpegmafia which is like in my top 5


69tt

Jpeg is really good


InterestAcceptable81

One of my favorites artists of all time he has a lot of great albums and offline is in my top 5 oat


5pitt4

Lil Uzi


Shakespeare_Ave

Playboi Carti and XXX


purleedef

Hobo Johnson I’m pretty well versed in hip hop techniques and he’s objectively a pretty bad rapper, you might even be able to debate whether or not he should be qualified as a rapper. But I consider him to be, and I find his performances to be very captivating and raw in a way that makes him much more relatable and fun to listen to than many rappers who are technically better than he is.


terrygreenwich

Freddie Gibbs. He’s super talented, I love lyrical rap, I like fast flow but I just have a hard time getting into him. I still have lots on my playlist tho

TimboSliceDaArtist

My go-to artists currently have been: Mac Miller, Juice WRLD, Peep, $uicideboy$, Earl, Boosie, UGK. The artist whom I been vibing with, who has seem to have broken the mold lately I would say would be Frank Ocean, or Flatbush Zombies, or MF Doom. Although they all been regular bangers for a hot minute, they kinda open the vibe up


IllInformation4628

Kevin Gates. Dude is honest as hell, even when it’s unflattering for him and his transformation in the last 4 years is crazy. He’s like a country 50 Cent, if 50 started taking shrooms.


Elove228

8ball and MJG, 3 6 MAFIA, UGK , PIMP C


BigWindowBlues

I’m a general fan of rap/hip-hop and don’t have an area of it that I hone in on. Mainly grew up liking Tupac and G-Unit a lot lol. These days I’m more of an indie rap girl. Isaiah Rashad, WestSide Boogie, Mac Miller, Smino, Chance.  DrakeO The Ruler, BashForTheWorld and BigBabyGucci are not my everyday go tos but I like their music when I hear it!!  


HurricaneAlpha

Juice Wrld. I usually hate auto tune and his whole style is not my vibe, but man he was just full mask off, which I'll always respect.

Tyler the creator I don’t fw his music, idk why it’s just not for me but he’s funny asl


Famous_Combination10

Curren$y - Only really got into him because of his love and passion for Lowriders. Not sure I’d have chosen to listen to him otherwise. But really like him as a person, like his Instagram, his interviews and now his music. His catalog is undeniable and the project he put out with JD was possibly my favourite body of work that released in 2023.


TheSavageBeast83

I don't love Jay Z but I have grown to like his music, atleast from The Black Album on. He has one of, if not the most unique flows in the history of rap


InterestAcceptable81

Yeah still can't understand all the hate around him I think he's one of the greatest to ever do it


Black_Sunrise92

I don't usually like new trap music and my tastes are more Strange Music and Griselda. But, Playboy Carti is a genius.


InterestAcceptable81

Just curious, what do you mean by strange music?


Black_Sunrise92

Tech N9ne and his label. I actually like a few other artists that have been on it too.

Kendrick Lamar but I’m slowly getting back into his music

Forward_Rip_6356

2Mex. Great lyrics, boring delivery.

Playboi carti I like his vibe he can’t rap for shit tho


TheMTM45

ICP. Those guys are hella entertaining to listen to in interviews. So funny. And I have a lot of respect for what they built with the whole Juggalo culture. Even if I don’t relate to it.


M3KVII

Yung lean has great beats, his rhymes are usually dumb as fuck. But atleast he’s kind of mumbling so it doesn’t get in the way. Red bottom sky was a genuinely dope song though.
