OK, so I'm big into my hip-hop at the moment, but it's a pretty new thing for me (only like 10 months or so), and I've basically been almost entirely limited in my listening to East Coast stuff. I don't know why, but I just haven't clicked with the other stuff yet. I'm just now finding myself able to connect with some more West stuff now, such as the Hieroglyphics crew stuff, but still that's kind of not my thing yet. However, I've got a decent list of stuff to check out there, so advice isn't so much needed right now...
Southern stuff though, I'm completely in the dark on really. I like Outkast a lot, but other than that I really haven't been able to get into any of the other big Southern people that everyone seems to love. The joys of Lil' Wayne, Gucci Mane, whatever are just wholly lost on me right now. However, I really would like to change this, and even if I don't like what I've heard so far, I'm willing to give anyone a chance so I can least have an informed opinion on them. Bring on the recommendations!
A proviso: Please, please don't recommend big lists of people. What I want here really a short list of specific essential albums or mixtapes than I can really spend some time with. I'm only going to have time to get like 5-10 albums max and really listen to them closely, so yeah, if each poster could not recommend more than like 3-5 absolutely fantastic albums to check out that would be ideal. Thanks all!
