Similar music style recommendation

pesto, i would go back to epmd to check in on their beats. i've never heard anyone say that and i'm a bit surprised because they are legendary. seen them open for run dmc right before strictly business dropped and it was glorious and the beats for their entire catalog are very nice. i think you might reconsider if you give em another shot.

if you have google music you can take a gander at my raised on hip hop playlist. it's by no means a greatest hits or even comprehensive in the least....just all the shit that resonates with me and still makes me move.

Pesto,

This is an extremely hard question because everybody thinks differently. To me, when you say similar music styles..I think about how openminded the beasties were/are with their musical taste and how they were not afraid to try something new/cutting edge or taking a sample from some antediluvian 70’s record. Others may think differently and maybe try to find other artists/songs that ‘sound’ like the beasties. For the latter, I always failed with this. I suggest you expose yourself to new genre’s and listen to anything and everything. You will absolutely hate it at first I can promise that, but keep shooting that open three in the corner! Eventually you’ll find a spot, rotation and form that is consistent to your liking and the team.

For me personally...I’m kinda like Adrock. It starts with a good beat. It could be any genre. Hip hop, reggae, electronic, honky tonk, etc.

Sorry I couldn’t be more helpful.

top 5's are so subjective, and my guess is that not many if any would agree with mine but i keep a list and Edan has been in my top 5 for a very long time. his catalog is light but i honestly believe he was and still is a force to be reckoned with on the mic. dude is strong strong strong.

hip hop:
-mca
-killer mike
-edan
-ll cool j
-kool g rap

honorable mentions:
big daddy kane
big
2pac
nas
rakim
aesop rock
el p
Chuck d
Despot
Del
Mr. Muthafuckin' eXquire
kid jazz
slick rick
ghostface
andre 3000

eXquire is a great call. I love his stuff. Cherry Raindrops is my shit.

Breeze Brewin is one of my favourites of all time. By extension pesto you could check out juggaknots first album, and Prince Paul’s ‘Prince Among Thieves’. In turn, anything involving Prince Paul is worth your time.

pesto did you ever fuck with Dr Octagon? Q-bert does the scratches, among other selling points.
