So, where's the best start?

Everyone keeps ignoring you so I will answer.

I'm not even sure what you are looking for exactly but I'll give you a few recs.
Afrika Bambaataa - Planet Rock: The Album
Run DMC - Raising Hell
Public Enemy - Fear of a Black Planet
LL Cool J - Radio

If you were talking about early 90s and gangsta rap type stuff I can do a follow up post with recs for that instead.

Oh and there is this handy thread that probably needs some updating but it's perfect for what it is now.

Listen to Jazz Liberators, smooth hip-hop.

Recs for hip hop with dark and witty lyrics please. Preferably experimental/noisier production but I'm willing to try out anything.

Eyedea - Shadow Have Shadows (I'm sure you know Eyedea but maybe not this track. I'm not exactly the most qualified to answer.)

First Born is one of my favourite hip hop albums. Is that song on an album?

DwnWthVwls · 11-09-2016, 11:49 AM

"Even Shadows Have Shadows" on rap sampler We Came From Beyond (2001) according to the Wiki..

I've dropped it here before but it's too dope to not rep every day.
