The Rap & Hip-Hop Recommendation Thread

I've really found myself digging the rapper Hopsin. Any recs for a similar rapper?

[Lucem Ferre]

Hopsin is a half assed mix between Eminem and Lupe Fiasco.

So Eminem and Lupe Fiasco.

What!?

If you listen to Eminem especially in his early days. Hopsin sounds just exactly like him.

They are more Road Rap yeah. Redrum was alright but they have vocaled Grime before. This track prod. by Teeza was very good:

Spoiler for Tune:

I had a few PMs asking for recs a while ago and forgot to mention this. For anyone wanting a decent intro to Grime other than Dizzee I would recommend Maxsta's Maxtape - https://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/th...pe/id924543204

Here is a track from it:

Spoiler for Tune:

Slew Dem, Neckle Camp, Ruff Sqwad for the more harder type stuff.

I'm going to check these out. Big up for the tunes!

Hopsin is half assed Eminem as in Hopsin is not nearly as lyrical, not nearly as witty, not nearly as violent, just half assed. Unless you are comparing to Infinite Eminem. And Hopsin is really really corny.

[Ol’ Qwerty Bastard]

Yeah, exactly. Hopsin brings the corniness that Em only had later on in his career, buuut I will suggest Cage, he's cut from the same lyrical vein as those two (except miles ahead, imo.)

Of course, when I say early Em. I mean Infinite!

I think you are wrong there. He had mad corniness on Infinite. You need to listen to it if you haven't. His later stuff is fine compared to that.

Also Cage is from one of my hometowns.
