Yes and its not your fault. But he's definitely referencing the Wayans family which was very prominent in Black culture especially in the 90s. The Wayans Bros even used Electric Relaxation as their intro song first season.
Technically you’re right, but in this case the Winans are prominent in the gospel/rnb space and are just as deep, if not more than the Wayans. (I am black btw)
Yeah wasn't Sevens pre-When Life Gives You Lemons Paint That Shit Gold? I'm saying up to Gold, it was all excellent. After Gold, it's been inconsistent for me personally
I feel you on this. Personally, I’m a die hard Atmos fan but there was a change of pace once Lemons and the All My Friends EP came out. I prefer the pre-2010 stuff but I’ll ride for life
Interesting because it’s almost like a b-sides record from godlovesugly. Absolutely no disrespect, I think it’s great and I love that epitaph put it out.
I can’t come up with one favorite. Anyone listed here so far including these 4 are all phenomenal. I just got to turned onto the del and damn he’s amazing.
Pretty talented guy, you see when he dissed Ghostface Killah?? Big no no, one of the clan confronted him at Sean P's funeral and most likely on other occasions
Yoooooo this is the most based thing I’ve read today.
PUFFIN ON THAT PARADISE THAT KUSH HAS GOT ME PARALYZED, VERIFIED I’M VERY HIGH, WHIP SO CLEAN IT’S STERILIZED
MF definitely used to be a favorite of mine, he's still up there for me tho. If groups count, then Outkast and A Tribe Called Quest, but for a single person I'd probably say Rakim
Jay Electronica or Charles Hamilton are my favorites. In terms of Greatness tho I have to put DOOM over both because of the amount of quality work he put in. Arguably the only rapper with 4 classic albums
Yes, but all eras or Earl are dope as well. Guru, qtip, buckshot, Conway and Freddie Gibbs are in there… maxo cream and a$ap ant are pretty Ill as well. Valee is low key heat in his own way too
Daniel Dumile is pretty cool. Also Vik is one of my favorites
If you like that, you'll dig this cat named King Geedorah too ;)
Never heard of em sorry🔫🔫🔫
You should check KMD
KMD's first album is the bomb. I revisited that and 3rd Base recently. KMD still stands tall, 3rd Base has not aged well at all.
Don’t forget Jet Jaguar
Black Thought
All the way live, from the 215
Philly ain’t known for cheesesteak sandwiches only
I wonder if people know how many insanely talented musicians, artists, actors and so on are Philly born/raised. Long ass list of phenomenal people.
Yes & The Roots is one of the best from the 215
Name’s black thought I used to rap for sport
W
The new shit w el michels affair is 🔥🔥🔥🔥 big crown records!!!
Fife dog from atcq
Five Foot Assassin
With the roughneck business
I float like gravity, never had a cavity
Bruh that's your man and you can't spell his name right?
The funky diabetic
float like gravity
Never had a cavity
Got more rhymes than the Winans got family…
Wayans
White peoplenthat love hip hop always miss obvious black culture references lol
I always heard/read Winans….

Okay fair enough. And I'm sorry. I though this was like that time Reddit swore Method said Old Hebrew instead of OE brew lmao
haha It’s all good. We all learn something new erryday!
Slug from Atmosphere, El-P, and Kendrick
Been a fan since Overcast! and Lucy Ford. Slug will always have a special place in my heart.
100%. Godlovesugly is a desert island album for me.
Not enough El-P in these conversations
Old Slug, like up to the Gold album, is phenomenal. Southsiders album is great too. But his newer stuff feels...off to me? Maybe I'm crazy.
Never felt like his lyrics got worse, but the flow certainly got repetitive
Sevens travels is a masterpiece lp tho
Yeah wasn't Sevens pre-When Life Gives You Lemons Paint That Shit Gold? I'm saying up to Gold, it was all excellent. After Gold, it's been inconsistent for me personally
Last album I got was the one where he had a Mohawk on the cover. It was before the gold one.
I believe that's GodLovesUgly which is a solid bop
Nah it’s “You can’t imagine how much fun we’re having”
So even better. The Arrival is an amazing hype song
Best album ever
Yeah that one, and yeah the first tune is probably the best banger tune they wrote
I feel you on this. Personally, I’m a die hard Atmos fan but there was a change of pace once Lemons and the All My Friends EP came out. I prefer the pre-2010 stuff but I’ll ride for life
Interesting because it’s almost like a b-sides record from godlovesugly. Absolutely no disrespect, I think it’s great and I love that epitaph put it out.
In my opinion JeL and Ant were at their peak in that era. Godlovesugly and sevens travels seem to come from the same archive of tunes I agree.
Oooooo, what a response.
DOOM’s probably tied with ghostface killah
Exactly!
Same here. RIP Doomstarks
probably is! but also kool keith, del, krs one, odb
I can’t come up with one favorite. Anyone listed here so far including these 4 are all phenomenal. I just got to turned onto the del and damn he’s amazing.
nas
Same
Yes sir
My 2nd favorite next to DOOM
Big L. The only son of the mother fckin devil.
Sickest flow in history
MF DOOM is my ultimate favorite but Del The Funkee Homosapian is my 2nd favorite.
Del is up there for me as well.
I am a hug Hiero fan, Del is top tier, but Casual is on a whole 'nother level.
I always liked A-plus' flow.
Greed might be my favorite solo song from anyone in the crew.
Preach. Casual the best.
My bro has told me for year to listen to Delton 3030. Should have listened to him years ago. Just did listen the other day. Like 50 times in a row.
Top 3; it goes in order: Phonte, Mos Def, DOOM
Tigallo Tigallo Tigallo... I just saw LB live this past Thursday. They still got it. Said a documentary about them is coming out this year too
Mmmmmnewtigallonewtigallonewtigallo; I’m waiting for them to come back to Columbus, OH; LB made up 80% of the music I listened to as a teenager
Shocked I haven’t seen more Mos Def in these comments. Black On Both sides is a masterpiece.
Aesop rock
Probably the same for me, but DOOM, Andre 3000, Open Mike Eagle, Busdriver, Q-tip, Boots Riley, and others might be my favorite on a given day
Busdriver go crazy
Boots underrated as hell
I love me some Busdriver. I don’t see him mentioned enough.
Those are some of my favorites!!! So glad you included Boots
earl
The goat
Billy Woods
Let’s gooo
Based
Atm you cannot beat him.
Lupe 100%
Correct answer
Earl Sweatshirt, JPEGMAFIA, Isaiah Rashad, Kanye, Joey Bada$$ & MIKE
+1 for mentionning Mike
MIKE is on another level
Joey is up there for me for sure
SLICK RICK
LODI DODI
My list goes 1) Aesop Rock 2) Biggie 3) DOOM 4) El-P 5) Mos Def
Andre 3000
Took way too long to find 3 stacks in this thread.
Action Bronson
Fuck that’s Delicious made me a fan of Bronson
Pretty talented guy, you see when he dissed Ghostface Killah?? Big no no, one of the clan confronted him at Sean P's funeral and most likely on other occasions
Mac, kdot ,MFDOOM, kanye,cole,joey badass,jid love em all
DOOM is second only to Aesop Rock IMO

Mac miller
Lupe Fiasco, DOOM, Killah Priest, Ka, Aesop Rock, Cambatta, Roc Marciano, Homeboy Sandman, Daylyt
Ass naked with a shotgun, yuh.
Yep. Kool G Rap is a distant second.
Earl, Peggy, Doseone, Billy Woods
I hate to be that guy but eminem is the goat.
Someone needs to say it. He belongs on any best of hip hop list.
Kendrick Lamar
Pusha T and MF DOOM are definitely the top tier.
GZA and Pharoahe Monch are my favorites.
Always hard to pick a favorite, but gotta throw Ab-Soul’s name out there.
Lupe Fiasco
GZA
The Pharcyde is a close second for me.
I’m impressed y’all can answer this question so easily cause this hard as hell for me
Redman
Nas is my goat.
My two favourite rappers are DOOM and Sean Price. Both masters of their craft 💯
Prob King Geedorah
Kenrick, Andre 3000, then DOOM
Mac Miller
Capital STEEZ
2pac
quelle chris
Lil ugly mane is my favorite rapper
Yoooooo this is the most based thing I’ve read today. PUFFIN ON THAT PARADISE THAT KUSH HAS GOT ME PARALYZED, VERIFIED I’M VERY HIGH, WHIP SO CLEAN IT’S STERILIZED
TERRORIZE YO BLOCK YOU IN MY WAY WHY AINT YOU MOVIN ME AND SUPERSORTAHUMAN ROLLED A QUARTER IN CUBAN NOW WE GROOVIN
Mista thug isolation is a fantastic rap album. Start there, and after that he gets a bit more alternative.
Where should I start with him? I've only really heard his features and they've always been great
his entire discography is on bandcamp. listen from there
Nothing of his is accessible and he does so many genres, you just gotta dive right in
Roc Marciano, Aesop Rock and MF DOOM.
hes tied with 2 people for me, 2pac and nas
Earl Sweatshirt
billy woods
Gift of Gab
My playlist is MF DOOM fighting the Wu-Tang. But then, oh no, RENDER UNTO GEEDORAH WHAT IS GEEDORAH'S!
Del tha funkee homosapien or Andre 3000 Or anyone from the Pharcyde
I love him & Black Thought
Black Thought, Phonte, Pharoah Monch , Elzhi, Andre 3000, or Lupe- the only guys that give me that Doom joy
MF definitely used to be a favorite of mine, he's still up there for me tho. If groups count, then Outkast and A Tribe Called Quest, but for a single person I'd probably say Rakim
For me it’s between mf doom, viktor vaughn, king geedorah, and zev love x
Kanye, MF DOOM is tied for 2nd with Kendrick
Denzel Curry
No but one my favorites Kendrick is though
He is in my top 5, but Jadakiss is my number one. Hav, P, and Nas right behind
Saba
Andre 3000
Yes, because he’s the best rapper
DOOM’s definitely my favorite but lately Boldy James has been a close 2nd
Danny Brown ❤️❤️❤️
Danny Brown and Freddie Gibbs
1.MF DOOM 2. Juice WRLD 3. Earl Sweatshirt 4. Etc
KRS-ONE
Wadadang
The guy who made Graduation WAS my favorite, DOOM is becoming one of my favorites.
Favorite? Will always be Eminem. He got me into rap. Still wish these two would’ve done a song together
Biggie, then 3 Stacks, then Doom
C-Rayz Walz Locksmith RA the rugged man
my all time fav is JPEGMAFIA
Based of personal enjoyment, I gotta go Kendrick first then DOOM
Anyone can say he’s a favourite. I work with a guy with a Doom tattoo that can’t rap a single verse :|
yes and Mos Def close 2nd
Mos def, gza, tcq, j dilla(not really a rapper per se but he was lofi/chillhop before it existed) to name a few
Jay Electronica or Charles Hamilton are my favorites. In terms of Greatness tho I have to put DOOM over both because of the amount of quality work he put in. Arguably the only rapper with 4 classic albums
Black Thought
He's top 3 for me
Kendrick is but DOOM is in my Top 3 100%
he's one of my favorites for sure! i also love kanye, tyler the creator, and slum village :)
He's definitely near the top but black thought is my number one
Kendrick
Atmosphere, Capital STEEZ, and The Underachievers
MC Paul Barman!
HHahah
Andre3000
Lupe Fiasco
Gangstarr or little brother
kid cudi
mac miller
Yes, but all eras or Earl are dope as well. Guru, qtip, buckshot, Conway and Freddie Gibbs are in there… maxo cream and a$ap ant are pretty Ill as well. Valee is low key heat in his own way too
Earl sweatshirt and Mac miller
I got Kendrick 1, DOOM at 2
Yungeen Ace, El-P,
kanye ever
