    I was born in a tiny town in BC, Canada, and spent the first few years of my life living with my Mom and Dad in a logging camp with about 12 people. We moved to bigger towns based on my need to go to school.

    My mom laughs when she reminds me that my best friends when I was growing up were frogs, raccoons, and the occasional bear.

    Which is why I am always amazed that somehow, from the mid-eighties, I discovered KRS-One, Public Enemy, Paris, Poor Righteous Teachers, Big Daddy Kane, Eric B and Rakim, Run DMC, LL Cool J, etc.

    I spent hours reading the lyrics on the cassette inserts. I was captivated and intrigued, and as far away from this music as a person could be.

    This was before the proliferation of the web, so you can imagine the surprise when I walked into my school library and asked if there were any books about Malcom X, Farrakhan, the Black Panthers, and the Nation of Islam. The stunned silence of the librarian answered me pretty quickly.

    I was so influenced by lines like,
    “teachers teach and do the world good
    kings just rule and most are never understood”

    So I guess I love rap because it somehow managed to leap cultural barriers and expose me, at a very influential age, to the idea that there are people in the world that have extremely different realities to mine, and that respecting that their views are based on those experiences is important. I love rap cause it helped raise me.

    If you are from B.C., are you into Swollen Members? I love them and especially into Madchild's solo stuff.

    I saw those guys back when I used to live in Scotland! They were supporting Kool Herc about 20 something years ago and at the time I had never heard of them but after their set I bummed a cig off Madchild and had a wee chat, he's a lovely fella. Are they big in Canada?

    They are from Vancouver originally. I'm from the U.S. but according to wikipedia Swollen Members is the number two selling canadian rap act behind Drake. Madchild has been based in Los Angeles for the last 7-8 years I think mostly doing solo stuff now. The last Swollen Members album was 2014. I'd say they are more underground but they've had a steady career for 25 years now and Madchild keeps putting out great solo stuff

    Right? It's been a minute since he put anything new out, yes?
    Plus I just wandered into an Outkast hole. Man, "Aquemini" is remarkable.

    I've tried getting into rap because my son and nephew really love it, so I figured there must be something to it. I think I have to start listening with lyrics on a screen because I cannot understand most of the language, rhymes or references. And the speed at which some artists rap is so fast that I can't hear it anyway.

    And I think I started the easy way by getting a bunch of Kanye albums, and then put on the urban radio station just for some variety. It hasn't quite stuck yet.

    Great to see / hear one of the originators still on form and looking good. Fantastic musicians accompanying:

    Same series - Trouble Funk were rapping before the terms rap and hip hop were in the lexicon:

    Hiphop is possibly still trendy and fresh to Americans but here in Europe is just a small niche. Europe is all about techno and EDM.

    By the way, I don't like it that much but I respect the music and agree that some of it is really interesting both lyrically and musically.

    Well definitely EDM is trending here also among some young people, but there is no doubt that EDM is kinda old too. I mean how many people remember the 90s and the raves they used to have or got started in that era?

    Trendy and fresh? Hip hop has been around for a long time in the States and really began growing in the 80’s. It’s not like it just showed up. 😎

    Feel like this is a pretty key point. It's been ~45 years of recorded rap music (ignoring some earlier outliers). Seems anyone interested in music should be able to find something they like in that canon.

    For a rock music based perspective on that span of time, Ike Turner released "Rocket 88" in 1951. "In Utero" came out in 1993. Think of the universes of rock music that happened between those two releases. Hip-hop isn't different.

    Total sidebar here but this makes me miss last.fm being active and useful. Their recommendation engine would probably be just the ticket for you.

    It made listening recommendations not based on styles but based on other users who listened to music similar to you. So if you and 40 people had similar listening habits, the 'new' recommendations for you came from stuff the other 39 people listened to that you didn't. Worked great since it was less like an algorithm and more like a music buddy recommending something based on having similar tastes. You could filter the recommendations by genre so...
