I actually never enjoyed hip hop at all until about 8 years ago. Never thought I would enjoy it because the stuff I was hearing was always gangster rap or bling bling shit and yah I just could never relate to that stuff and never liked it. My rap genre tastes are pretty white washed cracker shit I will admit. Guys like Aesop Rock (not to be confused with A$AP Rocky), P.O.S, Doomtree, EL P, Run The Jewels, Beastie Boys, etc etc. Most have a slight metal treble infusion less so "bitches and hoes, guns and respect" heavy bass hip hop.
Everyone has always told me to listen to Tupac and Biggie and that generation if I wanted to hear good hip hop/rap. Never could get into their styles and such even though in the world of hip hop they hold such high positions and influence. I feel the same way about guys like Kanye and Jay Z. Not the styles I like.
Love El-P and alot of the shit that you are into. You ever get into Kool Keith/Dr. Doom/Black Elvis? Great beats and awesome freestyle.
There's so much good shit out there and so much crap. I'm always looking for the next shit.
