You’d probably like Paul’s Boutique by the Beastie Boys. You may also wanna try Nujabe’s Modal Soul.
Punk rock for kids who can’t skate, by destructo disk
and The power of positive drinking, by ashtrays
Literally anything by Nappy Roots.
The Game is underrated IMO.
Chiddy Bang — Opposite of Adults
I really like Mark Battles. “Real Ones, “Numbers2” and “How” are solid tracks.
“Nina” by Rhapsody is a great track.
Somewhere in the In-between by Streetlight Manifesto
I’ve been slowly digging into their discography recently and holy crap Ska is so funny because it’ll be a bopping tune but then you catch the lyrics and find it’s a song about war, death, collapse, etc.
This music video definitely embodies that same disconnect. Cute animal animation with bopping music except wait what are those people doing? What are those animals doing? Oh my is that how this ends?!
I might have missed it but I don’t see the Under Pressure album for Logic. Might to get your listens up on that one
I share a lot of those albums in my top listens! I highly suggest any album by the Avalanches (there are only 3.) Start with Since I Left You, then Wildflower, then We Will Always Love You. They’re a group from Australia that kinda popularized Plunderphonics. Where they just bought a TON of old records and made songs purely from samples. Since I Left You is an amazing album that is pure samples, easily over 1000 samples were used.
I’d recommend this album, or if you don’t have time for the whole thing, this specific song on it.
Album: Maximum Love - Jupiter
Song: Dangerous Love
Black Heart from Nine Treasures for expanding horizons :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s1TRPCPoVhw&list=OLAK5uy_ki7KfC9keEcJRL5bnPdpa_M_aedfAXFSE
You might have a crush on Logic :)
And Kendrick Lamar
Shhh don’t tell him
(I’m only just a little embarrassed with how prevalent he is)
I haven’t heard most of those artists but some of the albums art reminds me of MC Lars
The Replacements - Let it Be Morphine Cure For Pain
violent femmes - hallowed ground
You should check out Psyence Fiction by UNKLE, I think you would enjoy it based on your taste for Gorillaz, and maybe Mezzanine by Massive Attack and Becoming X by Sneaker Pimps. My top picks off each album would be “Guns Blazing”, “Bloodstain” and “Rabbit in Your Headlights” off the first one and “Black Milk”, " Inertia Creeps" and “Mezzanine” off the second, and “Tesko Suicide” , “6 Underground” and “Spin Spin Sugar” off the third. But honestly I feel like these are just albums you gotta do a sequential listen of. Let me know if you enjoy any of them!
Actually one last one, I’d throw in The Sun Rises in the East by Jeru the Damaja, “Mental Stamina” and “Jungle Music” are solid
Those Unkle and Jeru the Damaja albums are rock solid recommendations
Glad you enjoyed them!
I love Psyence Fiction. I’m not even sure what genre it fits into, maybe trip-hop?
Yeah it’s usually classified under trip-hop. Such a good album and the sound is so diverse. You would not think guns blazing and lonely souls came off the same album
Solid tracks. Nursery rhyme is one of my favorite tracks, goes so hard and it’s not even a metal album.
Fuck me I forgot to add “You Can’t Stop The Prophet” off of Sun Rises in the East, that’s probably the best song on the album.
over the garden wall soundtrack spotted
I don’t know most of those so I can’t really get a grasp on your tastes but I’ll throw a few albums I really like into the ring anyways!
Ruin - The Amazing Devil The Search - NF Everything is Wrong - Lincoln Needle and Thread - Roland Faunte Starbound Orchestral - Curtis Schweitzer Smile! :D - Porter Robinson Dark Matter - Les Friction
I tried to pick some stuff that was really all over the place, hopefully something in there speaks to you
