Is this the new anime recommendations post?

Aesop Rock is an absolute Genius. The reason he isn't more famous is that most people do not even know what the words he uses mean...

Jon Waynes voice is like MFD met Biggie. Nothing you'd expect from a white dude .. look up black magic I heard that a year or so back

I find it very difficult to get into hip hop or rap, but I LOVE Aesop Rock
Brainsplosion
I'm with you. Was basically a staunch opponent of rap most of my life but I dig that motherfucker.
TheCrawlDadMan
Others that I would include on this list are: Shad, P.O.S., Astronautalis, Grieves, and pretty much anything Doomtree or Rhymsayers.
lurkymclurkerson
Shad at Massey hall is such a great performance! Feeling the Doomtree and Rhymesayers as well. Definitely going to check out those others!

I'm loving the rapper posts on imgur lately
RudyMaynard
Why do rap fans proselytize their tastes? I love Aaron Copland, Tom Waits and Henry Mancini, but I don't really care if anyone else does.

Who has a "stance" on rap these days?
SvenWillte
Not me.This lil dude got a crazy stance.
isaidsomethingcool
Most rap is inspiration, deep, and clever; even more so w/ freestyle. sad that the impression most people have is what's on the radio.
Azairii
If you like AesopRock I'd def recommend listening to Hail Mary Mallon. Rob Sonic is with him and they make a great pair.
SvenWillte
They're MONEY MONEY MONEY MONEY MONEY MONEY MONEY .........MONEY on my mofo mind

Aesop's new Impossible Kid album is a work of art. Shrunk and Supercell are my favorite songs. Check them out! (YouTube is your friend here)
maxwelljmc
2. Jumping right into "Shrunk" and him leaving the car to go see a shrink is amazing. That album is his best imo.
BasicallyJesus
Shrunk is fucking fantastic.
maxwelljmc
1. "Get out the Car" talking about him literally sitting in a car with thoughts of his dead friend swirling around in his his head.
MrBoJandles
Listen to ruby 81. Goosebumps every time
KevShaddai
Yay another awesome rap list consisting of white rappers
InternationalPhoneticAlphabet
the US population is ~15% black people. black rappers are actually overrepresented in this post.
DickRogers
Yea I feel like Mos Def would most definitely have a few problems with this nearly all-white list of 'thought provoking' rappers.
KevShaddai
any thought provoking rapper list is incomplete without Lupe and Talib Kweli
curiouser
If it's good music for non-rap fans to dip into, why complain? Some people think Eminem and Macklemore are the only white rappers.
KevShaddai
not complaining, just an observation. Not a rap fan? Here is some white rappers you may like...+1 for any list with RTJ and Mos on it tho.
JustHeretoGiveLikes
Let's not forget Tom Green, the bum bum song...
thetameone
Reagan is a fucking amazing song
OasisInChains
I'm kinda fond of Hopsin too tho, dunno if he couldve made it to this list tho
OasisInChains

How Logic having not been mentioned yet is crazy! Even Hoodie Allen.
TrumpkinSpicedFuckwad
Hoodie Allen is cool of you're a white girl and you post on instagram alot so I get the appeal I guess

What's with all these "reconsider rap" posts? Did everyone say they hate rap to prompt them?

PhonySoprano
No, definitely a lot of rap hate on this site.

Where? Because I've never seen any.
SwarthyBastard
Seriously, I love hip-hop, and don't know many people who "dislike" it. It's pretty mainstream at this point.
BecauseJapan
I love hip hop too. But the majority of "rappers" these days couldn't rap their way out of a wet paper bag, with scissors in their hands 1/

We've all seen the clip from GGN of snoop and 50 roasting today's mumble rappers right? There's tons of similar ones out there. Sway has 2/

Growing backlash to what amounts to 100 guys that all sound like Future. Hopsin made a great vid about it: https://youtu.be/IiNNBc557OQ 4/4
InternationalPhoneticAlphabet
i like rap, and i STILL hate rap.
LordOfErebus
When some people think rap, they think of the popular and really egotistical and obscene rappers who talking about bitches and money, etc.
ino84
It's probably because of the overinflation of gangster rap in mainstream today, which is mostly terrible crap.
UngratefulColonial1776
Right? Some rap culture sucks, but as an overall genre it is great!
dassemultor
Today? Maybe in the 90s and early 00s. Today's biggest mainstream rapper is Drake. He's as gangsta as oatmeal.
ino84
People think of the gangsta image when they hear "rap", Drake or the weeknd are seen as more of a pop thing for some reason.

almost as if rappers are more relatable when they're not (posing to be) from a completely different social background.

hasara
You're listening to really shitty rap then. Every genre with any race of musicians has crap artists.
takeoffurpantsandjacket
I agree with you, but they say nigga. I think nigger sounds like white trash and is repulsive.
PenguinSlide
Every five minutes? So you mean once every 1.25 songs? That doesn't seem so bad to me.
155DangerClose
honestly white hip hop is a completely different genre than hip hop itself
wutangbarrett
Hate to say it but it's true lol
PhonySoprano
I don't really care about the color, but white rappers face a stigma that makes it to where they have to be very, very good to make it.
HotSock
tbh listening to eminem made me start liking rap, but I get your point

Rap is one of the genres of music I want to get more into. I just hate the repeated messages in most rap songs (just like some country)
truthHurtsSometimes2200
May I ask which music genre is without prevalent themes in lyrics?
enjoylife84
I suggest you listen to these rappers then. Kendrick Lamar, Earl Sweatshirt, Mick Jenkins, Noname, Joeybada$$, ScHoolboy Q, Mac Miller
rendezvous18

enjoylife84
Maybe Future if you like turn up songs. Chance The Rapper, Childish Gambino and Ab Soul. Just listen to there most recent album since
enjoylife84
Since a lot of their catalogs aren't that big or you can just message me and I'll give you what I think is their best work.
morboislegend
I don't mind rap. Just hate the bitches and hoes and bling and honeys kinda rap /1
morboislegend
Much prefer Atmosphere, Sage Francis, Aesop Rock and to a lesser extent Macklemore's first album.
Sefreyt
Astronautalis, Bliss n Eso, Fort minor, Grieves, Hilltop Hoods, Hopsin, Koriass, Logic, Manu Militari, NF, Promoe, Grimm, Sadistik ...
Sefreyt
Just to add some. I don't enjoy the brag over bullshit neither.
DinosaurusRex24
I think you'd like Watsky

I appreciate watsky in a lyrical sense but I've never been able to really get into it

ThatMomentWhenImgurJokesAreOnlyFunnyToImgurians
He's a great freestyler..just not a meaningful rapper.
lurkymclurkerson
Songs like "White Crime" are satirically loaded with social commentary. He subtly says a lot on expectations of race and gender.
Gemall
Actually pretty much the opposite. He's really open about not being able to freestyle well off the top.

Nope, they filmed a cat from an orphanage in that video.

theashman69
Any particular album order for Aesop Rock as i'd like to start from the beginning?
InternationalPhoneticAlphabet
i found "none shall pass" to be the most accessible.
dudeinyogapants
Music for earthworms (hard to find), Float, labor days bazooka tooth, none shall pass, Skelethon, the impossible kid and a few ep's
theashman69
There's a fair few on Google Play Music so will get listening! Thanks and enjoy your yoga pants

I liked The Uncluded a lot too
