I need some recommendations

[devinhicks56]

Hey fellas,
You could definitely call me a newcomer to this genre. I am 15, and my whole life, i have been raised by my father to primarily listen to rap and hip hop. Recently, he began to show me that he was not fully vested in rap, and told me of all the other music he listened to. So I began an attempt to branch out, and several people brought me here.So far, the only song I REALLY like is I Cant Stop by Flux Pavilion, and I was brought to that after hearing Who Gon Stop Me by Kanye West and Jay-Z. If anyone has any suggestions on artists or songs that a hip hop listener might like, please let me know.

Take the time to look for yourself. You might find something that you weren't expecting to like. Expand your horizons. Think not as a listener of hip hop, but as a listener of music.

You will be at peace my impatient friend.

i appreciate it bro. im not trying to be impatient, i just thought this would be a good place to ask around and get suggestions

hard to do with just one track as a reference. Anyway, I'm not the person to ask because the one track you did list is not for me. Getting into this through hiphop, I assume your American. So I'll let those guys handle this account

I quite like hip hop and really enjoy s_x beats
There's so much different music here

[devinhicks56]

it doesnt have to be anything specific. I just want some music with nice beats, and maybe i could do without the artists who employ weird sound effects (i.e. skrillex)

i like you already
check that thread, that's exactly what it's there for. Nothing but music suggestions from all corners of dubstep

Pretty Lights, Bassnectar, iLL Gates, iLL Esha, Glitchy & Scratchy, the Glitch Mob.

[devinhicks56]

Okay thanks fellas I'll be sure to investigate every tiny little corner i can. I'm on a mission right now

Pretty Lights, Bassnectar. You'll probably enjoy glitch hop more than proper dubstep. Also check out iLL Gates, iLL Esha, Glitchy & Scratchy, the Glitch Mob.

Big up!

What I wanted to avoid was situations like that ^^^. Whilst its good to get recommendations, I always think "What if they stop looking there?" and you miss out on so much.

I've already kinda delved into some stuff i wouldnt touch 2 weeks ago in terms of grime. once you get past the british accents, most grime artists are pretty nasty

True dat. He seems to be in good hands here though.


I'll go ahead and also recommend Boards of Canada, Teebs, Baths, Battles, Crystal Castles, Electric President, and Liquid Stranger's latest album Cryogenic Encounters. None of them are dubstep but they're all fucking good electronic or heavily electronic influenced music.

Happy hunting!

Thank you guys for ALL of these suggestions. I actually heard cozza frenzy off of the nba 2k12 soundtrack. I promise i will continue to take any and all suggestions. also if this helps, i know its not dubstep at all, but im bangin thunder bay by hudson mohawke pretty hard right now

[musicandme]

A lot of the brainfeeder guys are heavily rooted in hip hop in my opinion, maybe give them a shot?

Flying Lotus
Martyn
Lorn

(Not Brainfeeder, but:
Star Slinger
Gold Panda
Lone
