i would highly recommend Lil Ugly Mane – Oblivion Access for a metalhead who is curious about hip hop Lil Ugly Mane is a MC who comes from the Virginia Metal Scene as he fronted a death metal band the whole album can be listened to for free here https://liluglymane.bandcamp.com/album/oblivion-access
Public Enemy – “It takes a nation of millions to hold us back.”
Any 3 6 Mafia, Bone Thugs N Harmony, Bones, Xavier Wulf, J Grxxn, GhosteMane, Craig Xen, Amber London and Spaceghostpurrp (Blackland Radio 66.6) are good references to.
I was just about to ask you haha
POS is dope.
Lot of metalheads would probably like Method Man’s Tical. That shit blew my mind as a kid, I got into it before WuTang. Such a fucking amazing dark atmosphere.
Three 6 Mafia, Esham and Brotha Lynch Hung for the dark imagery.
What about Jak Progresso?
Army of the Pharaohs-In Death Reborn
Damn, no speedin bullet to heaven recommendation huh :/
Hey Myke, love your videos. I’m not sure if anyone else has recommended this, but it would be cool to see a “Metal for Hip-Hop heads” type video. That would be really cool, and clearly you seem to be the most qualified lol.
The Cold Vein is the album that got me into hip hop from listening to mostly industrial and metal.
Love the Mutiilation shirt m/
Alot of Metal fans tend to like someone like Tech N9ne
every dalek track sounds the same
I was waiting for the Bionic Jive mention
I recomend DJ Paul’s volume 16 original masters
Is it possible that you can (If you haven’t already) Do Metal music that could appeal hip hop listeners?
This is funny cuz I was listening to Tech N9ne, Ill Bill and Gravediggaz and THEN I started getting into more metal.
hey dude i absolutely love your channel as well as deadendhiphop and thought this was an absolutely fantastic video because when most people think of “hip hop for heshers” they think of some nu metal shit
also this may sound like some obnoxious self promotion but im actually working on a full length album where i rap over black metal samples, and today i released an EP where i straight up rap over raw black metal. not asking you to listen to it or anything just want you to know that the recs i got from watching this vid for the first time earlier this year inspired me to be more creative and ultimately made me able to formulate the idea, thank you mike c town you’re the dopest dude on earth for inadvertently sparking my musical inspiration
This lacks Beastie Boys and Run DMC. Never met a Metalhead or Punk that hasn’t liked them at some point or still.
Wu Tang Clan – 36 Chambers. That was the album that got me into rap. I was 17 and really into metal, punk, industrial, experimental stuff. All I knew about rap was what I heard on the radio and I absolutely hated it. Took a risk at the record store one day and bought 36 Chambers and that steered me down the hip hop path : ]
I dont feel like TMS is the best choice Death Grips wise, I think Exmilitary or NLDW would have fit better on this list. Although its probably the best album to get introduced into the band.
PE nation of millions
lol the Alcest of hiphop? This I gotta hear
Lupe Fiasco – The Cool
Run The Jewels 1 and 2
Earl Sweatshirt – Doris
A$AP Rocky – ALLA
Nas – Illmatic, It Was Written, I Am
Biggie – Ready to Die, Life After Death
JMT – Visions of Ghandi
ODB – Return to the 36 Chambers
Everything related to MF DOOM
Kendrick Lamar – TPAB
Ghostface Killah – Supreme Clientel
Everything by DMX
i feel like rage against the machine would have been good to mention, but they are definitely more on the metal side than hip hop
Big l could appeal to metal peope
Sutter Kain & $uicideboy$ & old school Esham & King Gordy & Jak Progresso & MC Val & Ho99o9 & Buttress & Skyler Torquemada & SickTanicK & Heaven & Natas & Psycho Jesus
Both clipping albums maybe but I think they would be into Big L songs like devil son, All black have some pretty dark lines.
A few metalheads I know gravitate towards Three Six Mafia and constantly list them as the group that got them into Hip Hop
Can’t go wrong with First Come, First Served.
Necro – I need drugs album
Heard a lot of metal fans say they love Aesop
$uicideboy$, Bones, Death Grips, Odd Future/Tyler the Creator. Hell, I’ll even say N.W.A, Public Enemy and/or Geto Boys.
Solid list. Went pretty far beyond anything I’d recommend.
I though he would say “bring the noise”.
Could you do this but the other way round if you get what I mean.
