Reply to Song recommendations that build slowly and turn into something amazing by mklaxer

I recently scored over 100 rap albums on vinyl, part of about 500 mixed from a mini collection. They came from a "recovering" drug addict. He is pretty f'ked up to say the least. I learnt about the "left over" records through a good friend of mine, who listned to tons of hip hop (grafitti artist). He ended up living on the streets abusing grass and booze and is now socially not stable for "normal living" He luckily didnt turn to meth and other chems, like the guy I got the discs off.. so while still messed up, is in a better better place. Back to topic: I've been listening through a couple of the disks..

I'm open to almost all music, collect loads of vinyl (many Genres) and I did occasionally find some creative beats and sounds /ideas which are worth it to some point, BUT I have never heard such vile derogetory filthy lyrics in my life as I did on some of those discs.. Pointless slandering of Women, Rape, killing, tough guy rubbish. *I will try find rhe track which stood out and edit in the bottom..

I do think its safe to say that THAT phase of Rap is certainly not as predominant in todays form (I dont keep an an eye / ear open to the genre) - Point being, I would not go as far as banishing ALL Rap under the same banner.

There are some really good artists out there who live healthier and cleaner lifestyles than I do.. btw I prefer electronic music (Techno etc) so this is just my simple opinion.

Absolutely. Got into them back in high school when their first album came out! Finally got to see them last year and they slayed 🦇 great band and of course tear you apart a staple of the goth club scene. Try going to a goth night you’ll find plenty of people who listen to them!

So you are judging an entire genre from one artist. I think there is a huge history of rap that is probably older than lil pump. When I think of rap, I think of Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, The Jungle Brothers, Queen Latifa, Public Enemy, Arrested Development, KRS1 and groups from the 80s and 90s. I think rap, like any other genre, has an entire history and spectrum that covers any plight or human endeavor from love and heartbreak to partying and having fun to empowerment of the human spirit.
