dapeebs Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 I'm fairly unfamiliar with this genre of music, and mostly only know the big names. And even then I don't know much. So any suggestions at all would be appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWindBlower Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 JMSN He is an R&B artist from LA, originally from Michigan. His debut album, Priscilla, was fantastic. He's gearing up to put out his second record, JMSN, in December. It may have leaked already though. He released an EP, Pillaje, as well. He's got the voice of an angel, and I've been able to talk with him a couple times. He's a great guy, super nice to his fans, and very humble. You may be familiar with his band, Love Arcade, from the early/mid 2000s. They were pretty big for a short period of time. Also, he gave pop music a shot with his moniker, Christian TV. JMSN's new song, "Ends," from JMSN My personal favorite, "Something," off of Priscilla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topher Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Not sure if you'd know these guys or not, but I try to rec them whenever I can. I was in the same boat as you for a while. Lots of great stuff out there that changed my mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebiglebowski Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Also a huge fan of that Deltron album (from a dude who listens to about 2% hip hop overall). Someone on here posted this album a year or two ago and I love it. Dude took a bunch of 90s tv themes and turned them into rap songs that are all themed after the show. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4Ebt5yBvmA\ Also, Doomtree: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topher Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Also, I cannot forget to mention DJ Shadow - Endtroducing..... When I was 16, coming from a musical background of mostly alternative and experimental rock, this record was the first hip-hop album I fell head-over-heels in love with.

hudsoncomplex Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 I'm not a huge hip hop guy, but the new Run the Jewels album is incredible. Blaine 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bladew1ll1s1sdead Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 I back Childish Gambino. Kool Keith's albums Black Elvis & Dr Octagon were so sick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshman150 Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 On the more R&B side check out D'Angelo, great artist. Here's a song that features Method Man from Wu Tang and produced by one of Hip-Hop's greatest producers DJ Premier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbruise Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 But seriously, the only hip-hop show I've been to was Kendrick when he was nobody. Maybe 40 people there. I got real into underground nobodies a few years back. There is some top quality shit out there, I know nothing about it now. I imagine Kendrick is some super star sell out by now? Yeah?
