What would you try to sway me with?

Nothing. Don’t listen if you don’t enjoy it.

That is...very different from the way I think about music. And a lot of other things.

Thank u, next

Same answer. Stick with Stephan Jenkins.

I like rap, too. It's very much a generational thing, though... rap is the rock and roll of the turn of the century, right down to the commercialization and the age divide.

I was reminded of this news when I saw the image of Obi-Wan(?) posted above. I was moved to see the fable become a reality.

I recently listened to this song for the first time.
Three 6 Mafia - Anyone Out There

It occurred to me that the intro to the backing track I posted below might be a homage to the song I posted above. (For dedicated fans, this may be a topic that ended a decade ago.)
Yelawolf - Daddy's Lambo

Ocean Wisdom has ridiculous skills. Not everyone’s cup of tea as this is a cold, chilling track. But the creativity is next level.

It's time to reset the levels, good people.

He’s so good you named him 5 times 😜
Jokes aside though your full list is really worth people digging into! We seem to have super similar set of favs

This is one of my favourite hip-hop albums of the last decade (possibly ever)

Does she tend to use the same producers? I think she’s romantically attached to one.

I know a couple of tracks from him and like the fact that it’s very deeply rooted in London rather than the US, but didn’t really explore much further. Going to do that soon, so thanks for the reminder.
