I’m quite partial to Dr Dre. Mainly thanks to an ex who used to play The Chronic and 2001 all the bloody time.
I also have a soft spot for Snoop Dog as I like his rap tone and Ludicrous for the same reason. I also enjoy a bit of Jay-Z. Hard Knock Life is one of my favourite songs.

Not really a fan of much of the British stuff today if I'm honest.
I grew up in the 80's addicted to rap, hip hop and electro.
Over the years my patience with some of the shit out there has left me not really interested.
Maybe it's an age thing but I just don't get the British stuff.
I am however a fan of ok yes I admit big popular American artists.
Kendrick Lamar, busta,( yes I know she's a complete asshole ) I do like Azealia Banks.
Q Tip, abdominal
To name a few.
Nothing really relevant and update I'm afraid. |

Some faves of mine are:
Rhyme Asylum - (state of lunacy album is a fave and underrated)
Phi life cypher
Rodney P
Jehst
Taskforce
Chester P
Skinnyman
klashnekoff
Akala as mentioned above
some of the guys in the HF lot are dope (the four owls, jam baxter, dirty dike) Grimey stuff from Flowdan & Jamakabi is cool.
I like a lot of diff styles but do prefer the older styles though, early 2000s UK hip hop vibes.

"I'll be honest and say that rap bar Vanilla Ice is not my fortè
Have you any recommendations that would open my mind to it"
God if you listen to Vanilla Ice then no  . Maybe try Lil Nas X. He’s a bit poppy and he raps. I like him a lot. |

"Akala. All his fire in the booths. Particularly part 4. "
I used to live his FITBs.
If you like his I would recommend Bashy’s. That’s my fave ever and is as real as some of Akala’s in its own way. Real honest rap. |

"Dave, Kano, Stormzy, Skengdo, D-Block Europe…to name a few. Probs more grime than rap. "
This is absolutely exquisite taste. I love Kano and Dave. Stormzy gets on some of my playlists. D-Block Europe are a guilty pleasure for sure. Adz’s lyrics |

"I quite like Logic. I don’t listen to much modern hip hop but have heard a few of his tracks and love the boom bap style and he’s really good lyrically."
He’s good yeah. I like the jokes about him on twitter more than I like him. But he’s a very good shout. |

Some lyricists here! Obvs LOVE Kendrick. He’s unreal. But Azealia is ridiculously talented. And a huge prick but the talent is for sure undeniable. |

I know you love Wu-Tang so listen to Wu-Tang forever. YSIV and Young Jesus. That’s all I’ve heard from Logic but they’re all great tracks. |

Foreign beggars - stray point agenda
Dj trax & assorted annomous did a good album recently
Second hand audio - ghetto funk (if you like the more party side of hip hop)
Xav - the black Duke
Naughty by nature - naughty by nature
Rodney p - the future
Biro funk - biro funk
All good albums off the top of my head. |

Also just wanna add Isiah Rashad to anyone’s list. And back on the British stuff then obviously Ghetts. Skepta the goat. And if you can stomach Drill then Headie one obviously but Digga D is the guy. |

Casisdead from the UK - some of his stuff is a bit funky, but he’s really good. Fredo is good, and Tion Wayne as well. Joyner Lucas is the most recent rapper I discovered in the US. I like J.Cole and Schoolboy Q. And lots of people hate him, but there’s always Kanye |

Cole is a beast. And even if someone didn’t like his music, he did slap P.Diddy that one time, so there’s always that  |

The Come Up, The Warm Up and Friday Night Lights are probably the best mixtapes/projects ever made! |
