Apparently there's a lot of hate for hip hop on this website. And while I'm not telling anyone what they should be listening to it's just weird to brush off a giant portion of music with many subgenres based on some kind of prejudice.

"but it glorifies abuse and drugs and violence" listen to political or conscious hip hop, listen to conceptual albums that delve deep into these topics and how they affect the community

"but rappers are misogynists/homophobes/etc" listen to female rappers, listen to lgbt rappers

"but it's scary and violent" listen to jazz rap, listen to cloud rap

"but it's not melodic (enough)" listen to instrumental hip hop, listen to jazz rap

"but it's not creative/ boring" (an actual take that I've seen here) listen to experimental hip hop

Danny Brown, Back for the First Time

The audacious rap veteran on sobriety, platforming trans artists, and working with the next generation of hyperpop stars on his latest album

Even now, thinking about who I wanted to work with on Stardust, I was seeing people like Jane Remover and Underscores and I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to get them to work with me. I was thinking, Why ain’t nobody else working with them, though? Is it because of all of this trans shit that people don’t wanna embrace them? That made me wanna fuck with them even harder, because I’ve always been about that. When I first came out, people were hardcore judging you based on what you look like instead of judging the fucking music. Those artists are making the sickest shit out, so that was my goal: to shed light on that scene.

Something deeply delightful about reacting to transphobia with "well that's dumb as hell, have you heard Wallsocket"
