Experimental hip hop is my favorite genre, it's like 80% of what I listen to. billy woods and Peggy were my top artists this year, and it used to be Death Grips and Clipping.
This is a great breakdown of these type of hip hop, people usually just say doom and death grips and call it a day, u went all in and mentioned everything
This is a great video essay on the topic. My uni dissertation this yr is about hip hop so I’m consuming a lot of video essays to help me with writing. This is by far one of the best and most informative!
Phenomenal video and great history lesson. I feel B L A C K I E should get an honorable mention also shoutout rubberoom from Chicago , nice to see them get some shine!
I'd say hip-hop was experimental from the get go. I mean, think about how left-field the entire concept and the techniques used would be to an outsider in the 1970s and '80s. It mellowed down in the mainstream after that.
Odd Future is important to this development in the culture because of the way they mixed rap culture with skate culture leading into the social media revolution...they brought a new generation into "alternative music"
As I mentioned in the video, almost anyone from the 80s and early 90s can be considered experimental. What you consider experimental is also subjective. RZA definitely played a big role in changing the game.
@@RhymeReportyou're welcome I got the notification for this one but I didn't get it for the last one my bad I didn't know you spoke about The Rza on this topic great content keep doing your thing 😂 👍 💯
Great video! Learned about a few new albums that I have to check out. The one miss I was expecting to see was Techno Animal's Brotherhood of the Bomb, especially since it features El-P, Rubberroom, Antipop, Dalek and many other experimental hip hop artists
Great in-depth dive of the history of experimental hip-hop, yt showed this at a time I was craving for albums to listen to. I do advise to amp up the editing a bit, as it can feel a little powerpoint-y or as if a student is presenting a report. Nonetheless great stuff man
Definitely a late comment, but I think lil ugly mane deserves an honorable mention. Mista thug isolation blending memphis rap and horrorcore. Uneven compromise blending noise and off kilter beats. Oblivion access blends of noise, cloud, and some psychodellic themes. His alter egos album in flick your tongue..." with ambience, dark DARK themes, and abstract but blunt lyricism. Then there is volcanic bird enemy, but he pretty much strayed from rap entirely in that one. Great video nonetheless though. I absolutely love experimental hiphop.

You might like my music too
Actually Billy Woods is more of abstract hip hop with some experimental rap mixed in between
Same
@@nathanakpe4897 actually billy woods isn't capitalized and I'm aware he's abstract did I mention he's my top artist
vince staples is criminally underrated. big fish theory should be framed in a museum
Kool Keith is so underrated. He should be spoken about in the same breath as DOOM.

Thank you! I tried to mention a variety of different artists and albums from different eras.
@@RhymeReport thats super dope, u prob the best hip hop yt channel with def goldbloom
@dot.gnarly that's a big compliment. I appreciate it. Def Goldbloom makes dope content
@@RhymeReport hopefully one day yall can make a collab like sum split review or idk but u a real one
@@dot.gnarly maybe one day
Thank you for clarifying: experiment-AL, not experiment-ING. Kinda wish people knew the difference.
I'm a child of this era
fantastic comprehensive video. by nature, the underground rap scene is abstract and nebulous but you did a fantastic job at summarizing it

Sweet encapsulation of the art.
Rza should be on this list alot of the first generation Wu beats we're highly experimental

Ultramagnetic MCs were one of the first if not the first to use a drum machine.
shoutout Divine Styler, spiral walls is one of my favourite albums
Another banger video
Thank you!🙏
isnt cities aviv also experimental?
Yes
Preach

Hip Hop isn't a music genre. It's an embodiment of the 3 essentials: 1. Graf 2. Breaking 3. DJing.
