Hey friends. I'm looking to diversify the artists I listen to that are in the hip-hop genre. More specifically, rap. I am a giant fan of Eminem. I am hoping you can recommend me some artists?

And if you are looking for something a bit different, you could try some chap-hop.

Good kid mad city but you've probably already heard that if you're a hiphop fan. I'd say Getto boys if you want some old school

gangstarr-work

binary star-honest expression

pharcyde-drop

I could recommend you a ton of artists, but I doubt you'd like any of them.

So you listened to Eminem for a while but now you want something with actual quality? Got it

What Time Out by Dave Brubeck is to jazz, the equivalent to rap would be Illmatic by Nas, so start with that

Try Portuguese. Dealema, Sam the Kid, Mundo Segundo, Mind Da Gap, Barrako 27, Halloween, Berna, Valete. I don't know him, but people say Dillaz is pretty good. I only listen to hip hop and rap about once a year, when the mood strikes me, but I usually stick to Sam the Kid and 1 or 2 Barrako and Halloween songs.
Anyway, Meshuggah.
