If you want good music you have to go back in time, so to say.

I would also like to hear about the Spotify accounts, please.

From California to the New York island. Hard to get around that.

MM FOOD by MF DOOM

Where would you put like a stone?

Sounds crazy, but typical for a band of this area. I would love to read that article.

It's pretty essential to the flow of the album

Genesis - Three Sides Live.
Still a beast of live recordings.

There's an archivist named Alan Lomax who collected recordings of old songs and put them in collections. There's too many to name in a ton of different styles. Just look up "Alan Lomax Collection" and you'll find them. It's all that kind of old timey folk music. Prison Songs is one of my favorites. It's recordings of songs sung by prisoners on the old chain gangs from the Mississippi State Penitentiary back in the mid 1900's. Definitely has O Brother, Where Art Thou? vibes.

I admittedly don't have the greatest depth of knowledge of hip-hop, but some recent artists I like are Young Fathers, BROCKHAMPTON, Oddisee, Mavi, Little Simz, Mumu Fresh, Baker Boy, Masked Wolf, and clipping.

If you don’t know Rage against the machine, you might like their political/social criticism. And those metal beats are fire!

Frampton Comes Alive.

Yeah, I do agree that her music definitely has a bit of that energy.

It doesn’t have to be. There’s a universality to it. To me the song transcends borders and eras.

Nas is one of the best rappers. Period.

"Hundreds" worldwide isnt many!!

...there are websites that track the use of language in rap and hip hop.

Guess the words that make the most used words in the genre.

The facts are there. I'm not taking away for Nas or his abilities.

A lot lol. Björk, Rosalía, Tina Turner, Suzie Quatro, Siouxsie Sioux, Queen Latifah, Ariana Grande, Lingua Ignota, Janis Joplin, Whitney Houston, Julieta Venegas, Natalia Lafourcade, Mon Laferte, Mercedes Sosa, Taylor Swift, Debbie Harry, Cindy Lauper, Hope Sanodval (Mazzy Star), SOPHIE, Charlie XCX, Ann and Nancy Wilson (Heart), Aretha Franklin, a lot of symphonic metal vocalists...

The fact that you want to accuse me, a woman who suffered from sexism, of being sexist is mind boggling.

Ode to Joy.

Spose is pretty good. This group called little strangers has a couple fun tunes on youtube too

SAME. AND YES WITH LANA DEL REY (also with Maneskin). I think because I don't like their fans. But it's my reasoning, I have the same with a LOT of things

Listen to the album Ultraviolence. It was mostly produced by Dan Auerbach from The Black Keys and has more of a dreamy, lofi psychedelic rock feel.

“Cruel World”, “West Coast”, “Brooklyn Baby”, and “Guns & Roses” are my favorite songs on that album.

The rest of Lana’s music is good to varying degrees, but Ultraviolence is (imho) one of my top 5 favorite albums of all time

Edit: I initially said Dan co-wrote the album but he did not, just produced

Check out Harry Mack. Genuinely one of the best rappers to have ever existed and literally everything he does is freestyle. Check out any of his Omegle Bars or Guerilla Bars series to have your mind completely blown by someone who has completely steeped himself in hip hop culture for the majority of his life.

Palm Wine Sound (instrumental) - Fela Kuti

Cult of Luna - Echoes

Great song, but it’s very America-specific.
