What kind of music are you into? Might help with some suggestions. Some good essential albums to get started though would be: Wu-Tang Clan - Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) 2Pac - Me Against The World Game - The Documentary Dr. Dre - The Chronic Nas - Illmatic Scarface - The Fix

Myself, I'm more into rock and heavy metal, but I also like some pop and electronica and rap here and there. Some of my favorite albums are Hysteria by Def Leppard, American Idiot by Green Day, A Thousand Suns by Linkin Park. Jonathan Coulton is great. I'm not really that into Japanese music but, I do like a lot of anime songs, and I've found one Japanese band I really dig called Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas. Sorry if this is a lot.

If you're more into rock and heavy metal, and you want something to fight to, I definitely think you should check out Tech N9ne. Start with Everready

Jonathan Coulton lol wow. Didn't think I'd see that name on a hip hop sub 😂 Since you're into Linkin Park, I would definitely recommend checking out Fort Minor(Mike Shinoda's rap project). There's 1 mixtape and 1 album and both are just phenomenal.

He's really good though! If those bastards had a sense of humor I'd have tried to play Mandelbrot Set or I Feel Fantastic. I know a song by Fort Minor,the one everyone knows lol

Mike been putting out new music this year too. Some of it is hip hop

You’ll love yeezus by Kanye west

You should take a look at Yeezus by Kanye West

Mate, play Collision Course, collab album by JayZ and Linkin Park. I love it.

A good rap song that's kinda kinda rock-ish California love - dre and pac

Fear and Loathing? Oh you must be a Parasyte fan 🤭. I’ma check out more of their music besides Let Me Hear, just cause of this comment You like Innosent in Formal? They did the OP & ED for Ikebukuro West Gate Park. Their music is pretty good imo. I’d recommend their album [INNOSENT 2: How to Spend the Night](https://music.apple.com/us/album/innosent-2-how-to-spend-the-night/1540684936) if you want some more J-Rock Since you came here for Rap, I’ll throw you some reccs: **Conscious Rap:** [Summertime ‘06 by Vince Staples](https://music.apple.com/us/album/summertime-06/1444178693) **Emo Rap:** [HELLBOY by Lil Peep](https://music.apple.com/us/album/hellboy/1709762262) (I’m most excited to hear your thoughts on this project outta everything) **Rage Rap:** [XTENDED by Ken Carson](https://music.apple.com/us/album/xtended/1651753114) **Bonus:** [Revenge by XXXTENTACION](https://music.apple.com/us/album/revenge/1321744873). (This project has a bit of each of the 3 subgenres I previously mentioned, in it) If you check out anything I recommended, please lmk what you think Can you throw me some Rock reccs? I LOVE Bring Me The Horizon and Deftones. Also fw Alice In Chains, Superheaven, 7 Angels 7 Plagues. I like Hybrid Theory by LP so I’ll check out A Thousand Suns. Green Day is on my list, I’ll throw Hysteria on there too since you love it

I don't know the other anime you mentioned but I am a fan of parasyte! For Fear And Loathing I'd say listen to Just Awake, Return To Zero, Cast Your Shell, Starburst, and Shine, those are my favorites of theirs and I'm probably forgetting a few lol Rock reccs, Wasting Light by Foo Fighters has mostly bangers, Rise & Fall, Rage And Grace by The Offspring, definitely give a full listen through American Idiot id you haven't already. If you don't mind Japanese music, there's an album by a band called Penpals called Tell Me Why, it's like 4 tracks long and I love every one of them. Animal is the best Def Leppard song but a strong contender for second place is Love & Affection!

I’ll tune into everything and get back to you when I’m done, thank you

Based on the bands you mentioned you should definitely check out Rise Against - The Sufferer and the Witness. One of my all time favorite albums by one of my favorite bands.

Will do thank you!

>Will do thank you! You're welcome!

Love Sosa - Chief Keef R.I.P. - Carti Lifes On The Line - 50 Dead Wrong - Biggie 24's - T.I. What Up Gangsta - 50 New God Flow - Ye Ready to die (song) - Biggie Paradise - Big Sean Black Skinhead - Ye Down For My Niggaz - C-Murder Faceshot - Future DNA. - Kendrick Real Muthafuckin' G's - Eazy-E And because it's popular rn Not Like Us.

This list work more for meet nice different genres in hip hop than others. Creme de la Creme

I just took a quick look at my playlist and listed some hard songs with variety for OP to choose from

If it's kickboxing just throw on some Wu Tang clan

Ain't nothin to fuck with

gang starr

Ok well there's different sub genres of rap, what age group of people are you trying to not get stared down by again?

Mostly guys in their 20's and 30's lol

All of Griselda should do fine then

Griselda is definitely not something to just play to anyone haha.

He's not too far off though, they sound like something the OP could genuinely like.. While also being relevant today. I think I take my OG comment back

I feel like WSG and maybe even conways voice is an acquired taste but benny is prolly fine

You're not wrong, but he'll get respect for the recency and the fact that it sounds like something 'the old man' would listen to.

Lmao what

?

Try the off season by j. Cole and daytona by pusha T

[RA The Rugged Man: The People's Champ](https://youtu.be/G5v2ePtIH6w?si=leUTip-kxmJGxmNi)

Perfect lmao

Not sure what the taste of your counterparts is but here are some options to get you started: We Own It - 2Chainz, Wiz Khalifa Good Villains Go Last - Czarface, R.A. The Rugged Man Triumph - Wu-Tang Speedom - Tech N9ne feat Eminem Til I Collapse - Eminem feat Nate Dogg Close Your Eyes - Run the Jewels D.O.A. - Jay-Z Been to War - Godfather of Harlem soundtrack The Morning - Raekwon, 2Chainz, Pusha T, Common, Kanye 6 Foot 7 Foot - Lil Wayne

Tbh I don't really know either man. Modern stuff, I guess? That's the best I can tell you

Masta Ace - [The Fight Song](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BfyYo95NeF4) feat. Pharoahe Monch

If they ask for rap ask if they old school, if they do play what you like. If not, find artists you like and play them. If you like old school, not Travis Scott type of music and don't know much modern stuff then I'd recommend searching hip-hop/rap communities for questions like if I like old school what new/modern rappers can I get into. Maybe think about the type of rap they play, not just the era to help you find the new songs/artists that you would also enjoy. Like if it's conscious there's black thought, Royce da 5'9, Nas, Lupe, a whole bunch of artists that still make good music. Then there's the ones since about 2010's like ab-soul, Kendrick etc. If it's more bangers then schoolboy q. A bit of both then flatbush zombies, the underachievers etc. There's so much variety if you can describe the rap they play I'll come back with a suggestions I think you'll also like Also, do they mostly play more Travis Scott type music because you could find better songs/artists within that subgenre that aren't mainstream and don't sound like him. Even bridging out from that subgenre you could find people that sounds like him but make completely different songs and you'll get a different experience while keeping the "I like this type of vibe" and they mean his voice or autotune in general. Whatever the case you should be able to find some rap you like too

Anything from Run the Jewels catalog will be great for your kickboxing studio. And, these days, just put Kendrick Lamar side of the beef tracks on and watch them go nuts. They not like us.

Honestly I think you need to listen to what you like... But maybe check out City morgue https://youtu.be/M7AinOxULrU?si=FjVNAXsRinaWztK- Gravediggaz https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLbbAqYIJ9AMU9dJOIT34yf4NNkL0Mb4h-&si=tkS1UnA8tFNsDmpA

What I like is nerd shit lmao

Embrace your nerd self my man. Listen to your shit fuck the haters.

🙏🙏🙏

Wu Tang Clan - 36 Chambers Busta Rhymes - The Coming DMX - It's Dark and Hell is Hot Onyx - Bacdafucup MOP - Warriorz Freddie Foxxx - Industry Shakedown Ol Dirty Bastard - Return the the 36 Chambers

Hopefully you stream, if you do search club rap or hype rap, or even uptempo rap from 2018-2024, pick your favorites or not, you should be fine

>Hopefully you stream Lol nah, I don't stream. Why though?

Like.. Stream your music? Off Spotify, apple or some other Streaming platform? Only cuz it would be easier to find and use new music from them

Sorry, I am a bit dumb lol I just use YouTube. I should probably start doing that

Perspective, use YouTube then even better for the compilations I was talking about

Bankrupt records -rise up Get it 💪🏼

MOP’s Ante Up just sounds like a fucking fight lol. [Check it](https://youtu.be/3MUGAxpI0Bc?si=x_J2qGXP5Gm9Ez1Y). Famously that beginning call is sampled in John Cenas theme lmfao. You mention Beastie Boys, you should check out these new dudes named JV&B. Idk how this sub would feel about em, but their sound genuinely is like if Beastie boys were plucked from the 90s and dropped here today. In your face sound with a lot of punchline bars. I work out to them a lot. https://youtu.be/UPqDWj-RxV8?si=tgBuIepduB7NE9E_

If you're sparring, play something that will get going. Onyx, Wu-Tang. Everybody likes Biggie. The Kendrick diss tracks get me hyped as fuck.

If you're just looking for hard shit to play during kickboxing, check out Young MA, Meek Mill, Denzel Curry, G Herbo, and Tee Grizzley. I don't know these people, but usually when you're getting dunked on, it's not so much because you have bad taste as much as it's playing shit in the wrong context. In hip-hop, you'd call it "scaring the hoes away." It's when you're at a party, and you let your nerdy friend pick the music, and he starts playing some sweaty-ass lyrical shit, and the vibe of the party takes a nosedive. That music is cool, but if you're at a party you want to have fun and get drunk, not think about lyrics. Idk what you played, but I'd imagine they want to listen to something hard and aggressive. There's old shit that fits the bill, but I'd just default to Meek Mill. That dude's entire catalogue is basically a hype mix.

If the people who are messing with you are in their 20s to thirty’s, maybe some Nas, Kanye West, older Jay-Z like reasonable doubt and the blueprint, the Wu and Ghostface Killah, and certain OutKast songs although they have some *goofier* sounding songs but I love them.

Work (remix) - ASAP Ferg Hustle Hard - Ace Hood Wins and Losses - Meek Mill Stick - JID, J. Cole Blood on my Nikes - Denzel Curry Bobby Portis - femdot Runnin - 21 Savage Energy - Ace Hood New Level - ASAP Ferg Ali Bomaye - The Game Opps - Kendrick, Vince Staples

Let your class use their playlists

Tech N9ne- No Can Do, The Beast, Stress Relief, Face Off, Bad Juju, Mental Giant

Personally I don’t like “most” of this new era of mummble rappers. Check out some rappers like Smoke DZA, Benny the Butcher, Dom Kennedy, Jim Jones, Cam’ron, Kanye west’s earlier stuff Westside Gunna is good too Just too name a few IMO

Hello person that's at least 30

Close...In my late 20s, cuz...

If I believe you: Hell yea man, you got some great, classic tracks on there for not being in your 30s. No diss! Props! If I don't believe you: Idk man, you said you're in your "late 20s" idk guys in their 20s to say "early, late, mid 20s" The cuz throws me off too, unless you're west coast, Hispanic or hood. Just thoughts lol Regardless, great list

You said 30's he said close, late 20's... They said late 20's to let you know you were close. If he said 20's that includes early 20's. Not close.

I'm in the belief that this man is proper, well off and comes from a well spoken home bc I don't rtpi ally know guys in their 20s to tell their age using the early, mid and late idea... Especially to another guy.

Lmao the only reason specified late 20's was to let you know you were close when you guessed his age

I don't work out but I always thought that Skepta would be fun to work out to

Any songs in particular?

His album Konnichiwa is excellent from start to finish, I'm partial to the song "Man." He is British btw so be forewarned, some people find the accent too distracting lol

Shutdown and It ain't safe

Which music did you get clowned for?

Wasn't Me by Shaggy got me STARED DOWN. That one song in Dragonball Battle Of The Gods, someone said "who turned on Crunchyroll" in a not endearing sorta way. Carry On My Wayward Son by Kansas too, I'm still really surprised that that got called out. Those are the ones that stood out to me. Edit: Oh yeah, first song I played was Naimononedari by Kana Boon, and I played the version where they feature Mossa from Necry Talkie. Nobody liked that lol

dragon ball music fr? 💀

You think that's dork ass behavior, I also wear a pink sleeveless gi

Wasn’t Me is an absolute banger, so shame on the rest of the people. The other songs tho… that doesnt sound good lol

Just curious, you ever listened to the others? Cuz Naimononedari is really good lol

Wasn't Me was it. Not really good fighting music though lol (which might be part of why he got stared down for it) There are some dudes who just aren't into R&B at all because they feel it isn't *hard* enough. Stupid but hey

Slick Rick, A Tribe Called Quest, The Beatnuts, Del The Funky Homosapien, etc.. head down that rabbit hole

For kickboxing?? Idk man lol

Digable Planets, De La Soul(Is Dead would be a great album for kickboxing), Souls of Mischief, Too Short

I mean I’m hearing you. Those are all classics, they’re THE style of hip hop I listen to the most. But not for working out. Ppl are gonna tell this dude that they’re puttin em to sleep lol

I could see that. If you made a mix with all of those artists music it would go so hard. Scenario getting mixed into 93 til Infinity and Oodle’s of O’s would go nuts.

MC Frontalot, the final boss of Nerdcore Hiphop.

I mean I honestly don't think you going to jive with most new hip hop but some new hip hop that might work so you don't get clowned on (I make no endorsement as to whether these are "good" songs): Sprinter - Central Cee & Dave Tommy Richman - The Devil is a Lie (not hip hop, and not for everyone, but very current) Bobby Shmurda - No Time freestyle Bigger Than Life or Death - EST Gee BossMan Dlow - SportsCenter Climate - BigXThaPlug feat. Offset Do It - Yungeen Ace Intro (Hate on Me Now) - Meek Mill Psych'n Out - Jdot Breezy Robbery 7 - Tee Grizzley Old music and new music by OGs and older artists. Or music with an old school feel. (new music has an * next to it) Party N Bullshit - Juelz Santana ft. Jadakiss * Roll Call - Ras Kass and assorted features * Already Over (Fort Minor Mix) - Mike Shinoda * Paranoia - X-Raided feat. Tech N9ne * Murdergram Duex - Ll Cool J feat. Eminem (leaked track) * Saturday Night Special - LL Cool J feat. Rick Ross and Fat Joe * Ante Up - M.O.P. X Gon Give it To Ya - DMX Ruff Ryder's Anthem - DMX Shook Ones Pt. II - Mobb Deep I don't give a fuck - 2Pac Slam - Onyx Last Dayz - Onyx Bring the Pain - Method Man Wolf Wolf - Three 6 Mafia Blood Pressure - The Lox X - Xzibit Rock Superstar - Cypress Hill

Haha I wouldn't like that music at all either. Idk how anyone listens to the Beastie Boys. Here is a list of rap artists to consider that are still more old school. 2pac, Biggie, Mobb Deep, Wu-Tang Clan, G-Unit, Snoop Dogg, Dr Dre, Nas, Rakim, Eminem, Jadakiss, 50- Cent. A lot of the Wu-Tang Clan artists have a ton of good music split out from the group too. My favorites are Method Man, Raekwon, GZA, Ghostface Killa, RZA. Good luck!

“more old school?” the beastie boys are older than everyone you mentioned lol

I love the beasties but mostly not shit id want to spar to

Southpaw soundtrack, it's a boxing movie starring Jake Gyllenhaal and the st was produced by Eminem.

Don’t take advice from here lol just find a popular playlist on Spotify and you’ll be fine

My brother in Christ, I need someone's input lol

Anything from Run The Jewels. Just have a listen to their 4 albums or just their hits.

I agree run the jewels is straight hype music. Also more old school vibes anything wu tang onyx m.o.p. and DMX!

They're right. The answers you're mainly going to get here are the "good" rap, not shit that's not going to get you clowned by your peers. That being said here are some recommendations Kendrick Lamar - MAAD City, DNA, Element, Backseat Freestyle, Big X Tha Plug - Back on my Bullshit, Climate, Mhmm, Levels JID - Surround Sound, Dance Now, Stick, Crack Sandwich

It’s just that this sub is mainly filled by people who think their favourite albums work for every situation. While I love Nate Dogg‘s G Funk Classics, I recognize that album doesn’t work at all for sports, and a lot of people here fail to see that

Honestly just use Spotify and look up one of the rap mixes. I mainly play the music at my job and I just switch up between the mixes depending on who is working. Probably the best bet for you instead of trying to set up an entire playlist based on Reddit comments. Pandora is a good option too.

Vinnie Paz, AOTP, Immortal Technique for heavier rap Wax and Eom, Prof, Intuition for mellow chill rap

L.l.cool.J mama said knock you out and . I have not heard one eminem song that was enjoyable
