I would introduce them to Run-DMC, The Beastie Boys, Eric B & Rakim, Public Enemy, Mos Def and DJ Quik. That's the only artists I listen to regularly anymore really.

a little bit off topic, but damn homie how the fuck did u get over 2000 negative karma... :o.

Asking the wrong guy man. Ask the haters.

Most hip-hop is now keyboard driven, because the majority of hip-hop workstations have loops and patches that enable somebody with marginal skills to put tracks together,...

Unfortunately, most hip-hop artists gravitated towards the path of least resistance by relying on these pre-set patches. As a result, electric guitar and real musicians became devalued, and a lot of hip-hop now sounds the same.

depends on the person and what type of hip hop your trying to get to them

if you want to introduce to just pure hip hop then something like illmatic
if you want to introduce them to some party stuff something like doggystyle or legal drug money
if you want to introduce them to a more mature sound something like midnight maurauders or common...

your best bet is to give them a little bit of everything

Depends on what they like. If they listen to laid back/stoner music then  E. 1999 Eternal. If they're interested in the lyrics then  Me Against the World. If they like great production then  Safe+Sound, Rythm-al-ism, or The Chronic. If they aren't easily affended and just like great music then Death Certifacte.

heres what i did for someone.

start em off with something not to lyrical, but lots of technique and good beats. eg. Bone Thugs.
Next, something with good beats and a little substance, but not necessarily the best technique. eg. DJ Quik. Then drop the classics on em, Illmatic, Reasonable Doubt, the ones that everybody wanna hear. After that, they'll probably be into hip hop enough that they can make their own decsions on what they wanna listen to.

black album, chronic 2001, and the documentary would be pretty good because they are pretty easy albums to understand.

I barely listened to rap until my uncle bought me this record when I was 13. After that i coundln't get enough rap. So definatly 2001.
I'd also go with doggystyle, some dj quik. Game's shit is easy to listen to. Same with Jay Z. After that id definatly turn them to illmatic like C-clamp said. And straight outta compton

 :whistle:


























anyways, what I wanted to add is, The Blueprint (the Jay-Z one) is definitely a great album to get somebody into hiphop...poppy, but not watered down, melodic, brillantly produced and lyrically characteristic for the genre, but on a pretty good level
