you need to get onto genesis onwsu right now guy dropped his debut and it’s aoty material. Great variety of genres and ideas presented on record, massive stamp approve plus his live shows are fantastic.
Spreading gospel to everyone

I think a lot of people would say that about someone if it wasn't hip hop and r&b

like if someone only listens to rock and they start listening to hip hop and r&b I feel like people would still say that

rage against the machine is a obvious pick

Think Hammer Horror might be my fav off that album but Fullhouse is brilliant too.

all that being said, if I ever get a car and niggas wanna ride, they better know we on some different s*** in the aux.

Basically everyone on OVO (shocker I know)
Frank
Tiller
Weeknd
Ginuwine
Daniel Ceasar
SZA
TY$

more than that but thats what I have off the top of my head

honestly i need to get into country more

Don’t think about it like that OP, you’ve got decades to listen to other stuff, and there’s no problem with having listened to stuff you liked for the past few years. Now there’s just more stuff you can listen to going forward 👍

Ah mate, youre gonna love it. You’ll recognise alot of it cos it was sampled heavily in rap

Perfect example would be Biggies Big Poppa samples Isley Brothers Between the Sheets

Its cool to discover the original sound of some of your favourite hip hop songs

I would recommend listening to Baby Huey if you f*** with the 90’s Wu/Lord Finesse sound aswell

obviously I always recommend Charli to anyone interested, one best artists in last decade, her forward thinking pop music is light years ahead of any other person in her lane

Great thread op
I feel the same tbh, I've only started exploring other genres like 2 weeks ago. Will check out a lot of artisits mentioned in this thread
On another note, anyone got more artists like Grimes? Visions is all I've been listening to for the last couple of days

What do you think OP?

i acknowledge that & don’t disagree, but the whole “you’ll grow out of rap and r&b as you get older” narrative has been a well-known racist trope for the last 4 decades in the same way “all lives matter” is racist even though it doesn’t explicitly say anything racist. it’s a dogwhistle.

Ill post a bunch of updates and how I like music that u guys reccomended after this s***ty lecture lol

Gotta love Zoom University idk why I even join these lectures I cant focus online

Also if you like Awaken My Love by Gambino then listen to Maggot Brain by funkadelic. I love AML but its basically a modern tribute to that album

i do like that album a lot

will be spinning maggot brain

Older soul/r&b/funk is probably the most accessible genre if you mostly listen to hip hop (especially 90s) since they are the biggest influences to the genre

Curtis mayfield, stevie wonder, James brown, isaac hayes, funkadelic etc.

Ooooo yeah I neeed to listen to more Stevie my roomate puts him on sometimes he is insanely talented

Easy way to unbox yourself is to listen to the samples of your favorite songs

Already by this list, I can tell you ain't even really got into the full scale of R&B bruh.

You can listen to only R&B and be exposed to so much more type of stuff.

literally just explore other music

My recommendations are Parliament/Funkadelic, New Order, Aphex Twin, and Jai Paul
