Not a perfect place to put stuff about streaming services, but Tidal is a great way to find new music, with no need to buy anything! I just subscribed to Tidal & Roon. All I can say is wow. Great stuff!
Hip Hop & Rap recommendations for Taters
There is a rather heated thread that is fairly universally bashing rap & hip hop here in the music section of the Audiogon forums. This is a thread to search for the best that the genre has. Please recommend artists, albums, and songs that you feel are the best that hip hop & rap have to offer. What tracks would you recommend to someone who enjoys music, but is quite far outside of the usual listening audience for hip hop and rap?
Here is the thread that inspired this post:

So, to start it off, I'll offer up a few of my favorites. I'll surely come up with a few more, but for now, this is where I would start. I hope you enjoy this challenge!

Boy oh boy Taters, you just don't get it. I tried. For some reason, you seem to prefer pointing out that other's preferences are poor rather than have any positive or meaningful discussion about music. But, to each his own. I found a t-shirt that you may like though! Click This Link |
Marktomaras, I would love to have a meaningful discussion about music with you. It is probably one of my favorite topics. The problem is the music you bring up I have no respect for. Let me give you an example. I am a foodie and I love to talk about different restaurants and the food they serve. I am also (time permitting) willing too drive 2 hours to eat at a certain restaurant. Just since I like food doesn't mean I would want to discuss certain restaurants with you or the food they servre. Meaning we could discuss steakhouses but I would not want to talk about Sizzler or Outback. We could have a discussion about Mexican food but I would not want to talk about Taco Bell or Jack in the Box. I am sure there are millions of young people that would not want to discuss Cole Porter, Frank Sinatra, Louie Armstrong, Billie Holiday, Sarah Vaughn, Ella, etc, etc. (of course there are always exceptions to the rule) If these young people don't like this kind of music I don't have a problem with them. Like I said in an earlier statement most people like the kind of music they grew up on. (And yes there are always exceptions to this). If you ever want to discuss, Classic Rock, Classical, Blues or Jazz I am all in. |
