Hi everybody, my name is Dallas, I have curated a Spotify playlist for your enjoyment. The songs on this list are not the newest songs, nor is this list a complete representation of hip hop, they are simply songs which I enjoy listening too. I also live off rap and other forms of entertainment these days as well, so I guess I "officially" kinda~ know what I'm talking about.
Check out the playlist here: https://open.spotify.com/…/11158613413/playlist/39uap0OKsJT…
The list is comprised of 45 songs and spans nearly 3 hours. The voices of over 40 artists can be heard on this playlist, with most artists only appearing once. The most frequently appearing artist is the GOAT--Kendrick "Kungfu Kenny" Lamar (2.5 songs). Drizzy also appears twice, however although there are tons of big names on the list I chose to exhibit their less popular tracks that might change your perspective of certain artists you've heard of but never dove into!
PS. GOAT conversations are prohibited in this thread. As of the date this post was released, K Dot undisputedly takes it. That's final. Moving on now.
Of course, I myself am a rapper, and like any rapper, I listen to myself... So before you call me out, I'll come clean and admit I have shamelessly included 2 of my own tracks as well. That's right, I'm finally on Spotify, iTunes and more NOW! Please follow and download and listen on repeat for the rest of your life. I get 0.6 cents per play. Thanks. Shameless plug over.
However to be fair, I encourage all composing musicians to compare their work to the greats, and hold yourself to their standards (I know I'm still a long way off, be easy on me). I personally am always listening to my own tunes whether it's to practise lyrics/performance, listen for flaws, or to simply relive the experience that produced that song. And don't forget this is a playlist I curated based on what I really listen to, so u can't be mad at that, now, can you? The fact there's only 2 of my songs on this list is the most dishonest part about it!
But anyways... Back to how this benefits YOU! This is a good place to start for those who still aren't into "new hip hop" yet and don't want to dig. Your curious, you've heard there's a group of amigos who are into dabbing (whatever that is?), but your lazy, still listening to Wu Tang on cassette tapes... That's OK, I've done the work to get u going. If you don't like anything here, just hit rewind on your tape player. The majority of the list is composed of personal favorites from recent years sprinkled with a couple golden era gems. If you like a song, click the artist name to hear more from them. Happy digging!
If you have any suggestions who you would like to hear on there, feel free to holler as I'll be updating occasionally. Peace out!
PSS If you've read this far, I now revoke your prohibition of debating the Greatest-Of -All-Time. You may now commence to quarrel for days.
