Just started listening to more music, mostly rap and hiphop, and this podcast has helped shape my music taste in a positive way. The fun thing about getting into music in 2023 is there is unlimited classics I can listen to for the first time that came out 20+ years ago.
I have had the exact same experience after discovering this podcast. I had never listened to alums like Madvilliany or The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill until I discovered this channel and now I love those records
My picks: Rap - Through The Wire by Ye Pop - You Know I’m No Good by Amy Winehouse or Baby Be Mine by MJ R+b - Next Lifetime by Erykah Badu or Forrest Gump by Frank Ocean Rock- Pictures of You by The Cure or Life On Mars by David Bowie Electronic - Tha by Aphex Twin or Wrath Of God by Crystal Castles Country - God’s Gonna Cut You Down by Johnny Cash or Far From Any Road by The Handsome Family Reggae - I Shot The Sheriff by Bob Marley Jazz - Nefertiti by Miles Davis
Rap- Excursions by Tribe Pop- Safe and Sound by Capital Cities R&B- Cranes in The Sky by Solange Rock- Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd Electronic- Roygbiv by Boards of Canada Country- Three Wooden Crosses by Randy Travis Reggae- One Love by Bob Jazz- Skating in Central Park by Bill Evans, Jim Hall Soul- Easy by The Commodores
My personal favorite songs Rap: 90210 - Travis Scott Pop: Unison - Bjork R&B: Untitled (How Does It Feel?) - D'Angelo Rock: Sleep - godspeed you! black emperor Electronic: Archangel - Burial Country: Simulation Swarm - Big Thief Reggae: Could You Be Loved - Bob Marley Jazz: Track 4 from The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady Soul: Sir Duke - Stevie Wonder
As a pretty big country fan I’d say some of the best albums to really get into country would have to be: Traveler: by Chris Stapleton American Heartbreak: by Zach Bryan Hell Paso: Koe wetzel A lot about loving ( and a little bout love) Alan Jackson These are just to name a few that could really help you get into the genre and enjoy your listening!
I’d also like to note that each of those 4 albums I would consider a different sub genre within country, these 4 would really introduce you to a wide variety of country music!
Great Video love from Guyana 🇬🇾 U guys havent done artists discography rankings in a long while 2 recommendations Rick Ross and Lil Wayne would love to see u guys talk about their albums and what are yall fav songs from the albums and how they have aged
It would be interesting to know if you guys like any non-English international music. I listen to music in Spanish, French, Chinese, Italian, and Korean.
Rap: Runaway - Kanye West Pop: Michael Jackson: Thriller R&B: Belong to the World - The Weeknd Rock: Paint it Black- Rolling Stones Metal: Chop Suey- SOAD EDM: One More Time - Daft Punk Country: Hurt - Johny Cash Reggae: Affairs of the Heart - Damian Marley Jazz: Ella Fitzgerald - No Moon at All Soul: Change Gonna Come - Sam Cooke
"Can't stop till you get enough" is also my favorite pop song love the bridge to that song. Also for soul it's a tie between "I Want You" and "What's going on" too hard to pick.
Lauryn hill should not be a top pick for rnb ….thats how you know they like neo soul….sorrry…..im listening to avant , tank, Alicia keys, gonuwine , silk, 112, jagged edge , Keith sweat …..like bro yall weird
you guys should check out some spanish music. it’s not for everybody but who knows my recommendations: mañana será bonito - karol g motomami - rosalia esquinas - becky g
Rap: Sorry Miss Jackson - Outkast Pop: Man in the Mirror - MJ Rock: Killer Queen by Queen Electronic: Daft Punk- One more Time Country: Howie Day-Collide ( i dont know if thats country ) Reggea: Bob Marley - 3 little birds Jazz: Loui Armstrong - A kiss to built a dream on (if that counts as Jazz) Soul: Al Green - Tired of being Lonely
Imaginary Appalachia by Colter Wall is my favorite country album of all time. If you like Johnny Cash and want some legit western cowboy Country give it a listen. It’s short only 7 songs, so it’s good if you don’t want to take the time to listen to a giant bloated country album
Country is overhated, but admittedly it can “prove the stereotypes right” in a sense. Not any different than like the way people refer to mumble rap though. If you were to genuinely listen and take it in with an open mind, there’s much to be appreciated in any genre. Johnny Cash is really good choice cause the man had quite the career and an amazing talent for songwriting/storytelling. But if you’re looking for something new, Zach Bryan is a pretty good choice. Morgan Wallen (unless he’s still cancelled lol), and Luke Combs is actually incredible. Kane Brown is also really really good. I personally enjoyed most of these artists albums. And honestly they’re all pretty mainstream. Brace yourself if you don’t like country though 😂😂
Love the content as always boys, as hip hop fans who already know a little Johnny Cash one country song i think you'd like is Cocaine Blues by Johnny Cash from At Folsom Prison (live recorded in prison in 1969 the story is violent, funny and hard as fuck and i love the bragadous energy he brings)
My list 1. RAP: Wassup by asap rocky 2. POP: Don’t you want me by the human league 3. R&B: Can I by drake 4. Rock: Serve the servants by nirvana 5. Electronic: Home By resonance
Ant and lu i highly recommend you listen to Whitehouse Road by Tyler Childers. It is a country song that has been my favorite ever since i listened to it. Overall just a fun song
Rap: tupac hit Em up Pop: mj Billie jean Rnb : Frank ocean nights Rock: police roxane Country: take me home country roads ( the Only one ik) Jazz: Nina simone i’m feelin good Soul: i want you back
Some Song Suggestions: Electronic: I Been Young~ George Clanton Blackbox Life Recorder 21f~ Aphex Twin Life Is Sweet (Daft Punk Remix)~ The Chemical Brothers Rock Suggestions: Digital Bath~ Deftones Zombie~ The Cranberries Oh! Sweet Nuthin’~ The Velvet Underground
Massive shout out to Ant! Deadmau5- The Veldt, Rush- Limelight, Red Barchetta, Tom Sawyer, Stardust- Music Sounds Better With You, Yes- Roundabout…dude is dropping absolute classic jams! The Veldt is also by far my favorite Deadmau5 song and one of my favorite EDM songs ever! Absolutely blown away he mentioned these jams! Much love guys!
I know right? He knows the classics! The Veldt and Music Sounds Better With You are masterpieces. And Silhouettes, Levels, and Lady (Hear Me Tonight) too! These guys have elite EDM tastes.
If you're looking for a good Country song listen to White Horse by Chris Stapleton. It is currently huge in the US and is one of (if not) my favorite song(s) of last year. It is currently the 5th biggest Country song in the US. Heck anything by him is good Country. Some other good Country suggestions is anything by Zach Bryan, anything by Kacey Musgraves (but not her last album), anything by Luke Combs, In Your Love by Tyler Childers, Brett Eldrege''s last 2 (extremely) underrated albums, Jason Isbel's Weathervanes, Shania Twain's 90's and early 2010's material.
My picks (right now) - Rap: Bookfiend Clams Casino Version - MF DOOM - Pop: A New Kind Of Love - Frou Frou - R&B: MmmHmm - Flying Lotus & Thundercat or Orange Moon - Erykah Badu - Rock: Off Your Face - my bloody valentine - Electronic: Seesaw - Jamie XX or Xtal - Aphex Twin - Country: Mythological Beauty - Big Thief - Reggae: Jah Let the Sun Shine - WITCH - Jazz: Summer Nights - Lonnie Liston Smith or Govinda - J.O.B. Orquestra - Soul: Save The Children - Marvin Gaye (or really any song from “What’s Going On.” 10/10.)
rap: stan, runaway, ms jackson, juicy, n.y. state of mine, ex-factor pop: rock with you, thriller, toxic, i have nothing, baby one more time, gimme more r&b: without you, sexyback, mirrors, kiss of life, obsessed, no one rock: hotel california, i’d do anything for love, sweet emotion, dancing in the dark, eye of the tiger, don’t stop believin
Well on the pop angle, there is pop as anything that is popular, top 40. but pop is a genre, poppy beats. nsync, madonna michael jackson, katy perry etc. britney spears. So my fav pop song, don't stop till you get enough/beat it. fav hip hop song between stan and in da club, fav rnb, would be promise and bryan mcknight. fav rock song is dont stop believing, fav raggae would be murder she wrote and my fav soul, would be reasons by earth wind and fire.
My genre knowledge isn’t that big, so I’ll do a bunch of sub genres for the genres I know Rap- Sing About Me, I’m Dying of Thirst by Kendrick Lamar Psychedelic Rap- I Can Tell by Travis Scott Experimental Rap- Ain’t It Funny by Danny Brown Abstract Rap- Fazers by King Geedorah (MF DOOM) Trap- No Hands by Waka Flocka Flame Cocaine Rap- Lakers by Freddie Gibbs And now to the other genre I know well, Rock/Metal Rock- Whole Lotta Rosie by AC/DC Heavy Metal- No More Tears by Ozzy Osbourne Thrash Metal- Seasons in the Abyss by Slayer Groove Metal- This Love by Pantera Grunge- Rooster by Alice in Chains Death Metal- Spirit Crusher by Death And onto other genres Pop- Rock With You- Michael Jackson Jazz- A Love Supreme, Part 1 by John Coltrane RNB- Seigfried by Frank Ocean Neo-Soul- Untitled (How Does It Feel) by D’Angelo
Country is not my favorite genre, but it is very underrated in these sorts of online hip hop circles. Check out these artists. . Colter Wall . Tyler childers . Lost dog street band These are my favorite country artists, all very creative and artistic. Crazy how a lot of country is influenced by folk music, which it shares with other generes in pop and rock (bon iver, led zepplin / greta van fleet, ect). And modern country/rock/ pop and even hip hop, influence each other all the time and its really satisfying when you see it for yourself. I very strongly recommend anyone branch out genre wise no matter what your into because YOU WILL be surprised with what you find But that's just my opinion as a fan of music 😁
Yeah they’re definitely not that well versed in genres outside of rap and r&b lol. Get out of the festival scene for electronic and look to IDM and techno. Listen to Selected Ambient Works 85-92 by Aphex Twin and Music Has the Right to Children by Boards of Canada and go through their discographies. They’re basic picks but they’re popular and critically acclaimed for a reason.
I always used to say I hate country but I really just don't like mainstream radio country. I love stuff like Waylon Jennings, Townes Van Zandt, Hank Williams, etc. Every genre has embarrassing trash, singling out country as particularly guilty was unfair on my part.
Rap: All eyez on me 2pac, I’m God, Da Art of Storytelling Pt 1, and Sing About Me Pop: Rock with You, Ain’t it Fun, Adventure of a Lifetime, Human Nature R&b: Kiss of Life, Rain SWV, and Nights Frank Ocean Country: A Horse with No Name and Free Bird Rock: Stairway to Heaven and Hold the Line Soul: If I Should Die Tonight Marvin Gaye and Summer Madness Electronic: Xtal, Face to Face, Lady Hear Me Tonight, Music Sounds Better With You, and Resonance by Home Reggae: Revolution and Chase the Devil Jazz: What you won’t do for love, Burma road, and After Hours
You guys should try listening to some more metal. There’s some amazing stuff in the genre. Black sabbath’s self titled, korn’s self titled, pantera’s vulgar display of power, the great southern trendkill, etc!
I hate country but Johnny Cash and Zach Bryan are too good. Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings are aight too. Gotta listen to Johnny’s American albums he made with Rick Rubin
Some Of My Personal Picks (No Doubles for artists in one genre) Rap : January 28th - J. Cole Weston Road Flows - Drake The Art Of Peer Pressure - Kendrick Lamar Pop : Lights Up - Harry Styles Wonder - Shawn Mendes Company - Justin Bieber R&B : Pretty Little Fears - 6LACK & J. Cole After Hours - The Weeknd Not You Too - Drake & Chris Brown Nights - Frank Ocean Rock : The Catalyst - Linkin Park The Pretender - Foo Fighters One Of These Nights - Eagles
You should try out Vespertine by Bjork for art pop/electronic music. It's such a fantastic listen and one of my favorites. Bjork's vocals are absolutely ethereal on it.
I love reggae but I haven’t gotten into it as much as I would like to so if anyone in the comments could give me some recommendations I’d appreciate it
Imaginary Appalachia by Colter Wall is my favorite country album of all time. It’s only 7 songs and if you like Johnny Cash and don’t have lots of time on your hands give it a listen. It’s the most legit and impressive rural cowboy country you’ll ever here trust
loved your lists! here is mine RAP:Wesley's Theory honorable mention's: Check the Rime, Represent, All Falls Down, Heart Of The City POP: When The Doves Cry RNB: Ex-Factor ROCK: Heroes by David Bowie honorable mentions: Shine on you crazy diamond(pts 1-5), Like a Rolling Stone, Gimme Shelter, Dogs, A Day In The Life, While My Guitar Gently Weeps, Stairway to Heaven, Kashmir, Break On Through, Ziggy Stardust ELECTRONIC: Veridis Quo honorable mentions: Genesis, One More Time, Xtal, Ghost, Firestarter, Harder Better Faster Stronger, Phantom Pt. 2, Ageispolis COUNTRY: Big Iron REGGAE: Could You Be Loved JAZZ: Blue in Green honorable mentions: They Say Its Wonderful, So What, Moanin, Goodbye Pork Pie Hat, Watermelon Man, Pharaoh Dance, Freddie Freeloader SOUL: Mercy Mercy Me honorable mentions: Respect, As, Whats Going On?, Love's In Need Of Love Today
Idk I feel like pop is a genre that's been around since at least the 90s and disco, synth pop, rock and soul hits shouldn't be included in the same category
Glad to see you guys not judging country and just admitting ignorance. A lot of people knock the genre but have only heard a couple songs which the major labels are trying to push. IMO every genre needs to be filtered a bit to find what you like. Some country albums Id recommend (released in last 10 years): Chris Stapleton - Traveller Jason Isbell - Southeastern Colter Wall - Imaginary Appalachia (He's from Saskatchewan) Tyler Childers - Live on Red Barn Radio
I’m a huge fan of country music and if you want to get into classic country music I suggest Keith Whitley, Tracy Lawrence, George Strait, Toby Keith, Alan Jackson, and Garth Brooks and for todays country I suggest Zach Bryan, Morgan Wallen, Luke Combs, and Parker McCollum
