Instead of flooding the other thread with this music, I thought we could have a specific thread for posting good rap or hip hop music. (And anyone is welcome to school me on why I shouldn't lump these two together.)
Mostly I'm listening to really old stuff right now but I'd appreciate any newer reccomendations of songs or albums (if you're gonna post an album I'd like to know which are the best songs in it), either from the US or other countries, in English or other languages. I'm partial to anything with a leftist bent but I'm okay with the primitive gangsta stuff too. I haven't done any active listening in years, but I've recently found myself wanting to listen to music - probably because my sleep schedule's fucked - and rap has a certain aggressive/detached quality that fits my mood these days.
Kicking it off with a song. I'm kinda mesmerized by old west coast rap right now. Even though I've grown up hearing this music, I never really stopped to consider how fun a lot of it is.
