rolling hip hop albums for people clearly doing it wrong

i guess in my head this thread is specifically for arty, lyrical dudes who consciously shy away from the mainstream, but also aren't pure old man raps or nostalgia trips. artists like cavalier, elcuid, defcee, and the rest of the backwoodz roster, mike and the 10k crew (niontay, el cousteau), pink siifu and fly anakin, yung morpheus, maassai, etc.

as for doing it wrong, the title was just a play on the "techno albums for people clearly doing it wrong" thread. tho this thread title would def be appropriate if there was more of a goon presence still on the board lol

xpost yeah that makes sense
in that spirit:

yeah, i was totally goofin re:thread title/"doing it wrong" but all that makes a lot of sense. i think we used to call this sort of thing "alternative hiphop" (which is admittedly v uncool). i kinda consider it in the spirit of the next generation of native tongues affiliates + followers... poor righteous teachers, bush babees, little brother, etc.

the last track -"flourish"- on that cavalier is so good. "i wanna thank all the academies. i don't even know em all, but i wanna thank em." pure heart and soul. thanks again for this rec.

this was all stuff that was posted in the yearly rap threads btw

i think there's enough of a scene doing specifically what uptown churl asked about in this thread that it's worth cross-posting.

also, i post in this thread and people respond, i post in the other thread and no one responds ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

dude pfork gave that cavalier an 8
