Good Tracks but why didn't you recommend Showbiz & A.G.? haha

 

[jrush64]

Can't believe no one has recommended this.

- Lupe Fiasco's Food & Liquor


- Lupe Fiasco's The Cool


- Lupe Fiasco Tetsuo & Youth



- Lupe Fiasco Lasers; Not as good as those 3, but enjoyable hip hop.

Lupe Fiasco is new to me, I shall see what he is like tomorrow.

People Under The Stairs, I think I've heard of before, I think they might be what I'm looking for.

 

[sheepishlord]

I just glazed at the wall of tracks and missed the first bit.

Seeing as you're a UK breh who likes the more traditional sound and uplifting lyrics you should check out Verb T who is massively influenced by some of the guys on your list.

[buttonsmasher]

seems like you just like hip hop in general, but Camp Lo is that old school style that seems to be common in your playlist. I love this album.

camp lo - black connection

Notorious Thugs.

Bone Thugs & Biggie.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4xYGFc9Yw4 - Joey Badass

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QjlFqgRbICY - Kendrick Lamar: A.D.H.D

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3kJstxEzBbE - Action Bronson (I enjoy his statik selektah collabs moreso than his normal stuff, he still dope tho)

If you're like a boom-bap kinda guy, or just don't care for experimental stuff, Death Grips probably isn't for you...but try it out for yourself, maybe you'll dig it.

If you like the old stuff, I saw some people above rec Camp Lo, I second that shit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GG405y51cVk - Lucini

KMD is pretty dope too, MF DOOM came out of them https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eaxe1cJh0h8 - What a Niggy Know

There you go OP, I made a proper playlist. I hope I redeem myself I had to find the tracks in Spotify since I had them stored locally on my pc.
