I don't fault your Death Grips pick. I mean any album of theirs would have served the purpose. But why didn't you swap in The Money Store for Bottomless Pit?

If you’re on the fence: this is the best genre of hip hop hands down. With guys like Peggy, Danny Brown, clipping., Death Grips, and many others, there’s always great quality

[@davezarairl]

solid list. i'm so glad iridescence made it, the more aggressive tracks are def more experimental/noisy hip hop tracks. I feel like an album list from me would get too convoluted explaining the picks, so ima just do songs. (mainly bangers) • Oh Shit!!! - Injury Reserve • 1539 Calvert - JPEGMAFIA • Black Skinhead - Kanye West • Story 2 - clipping. • NEW ORLEANS - BROCKHAMPTON • Yeah Right - Vince Staples • Legend Has It - Run The Jewels • WHAT'S GOOD - Tyler, The Creator • Ain't It Funny - Danny Brown • No Love - Death Grips (if i had to pick, but all opening dg tracks do the job).

[@mhaluuun93]

I think Madlib & Dilla really started this new wave of unorthodox production. People can say what they say about the rhymes on Champion Sound, but no one can deny that the production on that joint paved the way for experimental hip hop. I'd even make the argument that Madlib wouldn't have produced the joints on Madvillainy the way he did if it wasn't for Dilla being in his life. After the early 2000s, I'd give Flying Lotus, Samiyam, Dibia$e, Ras G, Knxwledge, and Earl MAD credit for their contributions to experimental Hip Hop.

[@Zach-zm6dx]

i would also have to give El-P as much credit, because he was doing crazy shit in the early 2000s

[@patrickgibsonmusic]

Ayyyyy IRIDESCENCE GANG! YES, best Brockhampton album, fight me.

[@VeneratorVar]

i'd say another really good experimental hip hop album would be Because the Internet by Childish Gambino, some of the songs are somewhat normal but when the album gets weird, it gets WEIRD. plus it's one of the best hip hop albums of the 2010s no cap

[@joaogabrielviana9200]

dang right, i was already going to mention it, glad someone agrees

[@ABucketofJake]

That’s a good point I hadn’t even thought of that while making the video but good point boys

I recommend Third Side Of Tape by Lil Ugly Mane, its a genrebending masterpiece

[@Z7USUDRV]

I've never even realized I've been a fan of experimental hip hop. Half of your list I've had added to my library for a while. A good XHiphop album would be "A Quiet Farwell" by Slauson Malone. A very interesting listen

Nice clipping shout-out. There Existed is so so good, but I do prefer CLPPNG. Either way you go, though, you get consistently high energy throughout. Keep it up! Caretaker pulled me in (you got me to sit and listen to it and JFC that was incredibly moving), stayed because your content is so quality.

Great list, especially Clipping being mentioned made me appreciate it even more. I feel like Dalek and The Bug should get more love in this kind of discourse - these dudes are absolutely crushing it in industial/experimental hip-hop genre. The Bug even has released some tracks with Stefan Burnett.

[@johnbricker8435]

As a Death Grips fan, I actually don't click with Bottomless Pit at all, which is weird to me. For me, there's nothing I get from it that isn't done better on The Powers That B, No Love Deep Web or Year of the Snitch. I would actually recommend Year of the Snitch as the best starting point for getting into DG, it represents a crazy melting pot of all the different sounds they're known for. Also, Is Big Fish Theory really more experimental than All My Heroes Are Cornballs? The beats on Big Fish are nuts (especially Yeah Right, holy shit), but Vince can't compete with Peggy's insane sound design in my book. Great vid dude, thanks!

[@ABucketofJake]

I would say that YOTS is one of the hardest to get into but good for you for clicking with that of all things mad respect and I totally agree

[@johnbricker8435]

@@ABucketofJake The funny thing is, every time I get one of my friends into DG, it's because I show them YOTS. It's crazy, but it works!

I tried listening to the money store when I 1st listened to them, but hated it. But then I listened to exmilitary and all their other stuff started to make sense.

[@lunch19]

my favorite experimental hip hop album (and also my favorite hip hop album in general) is cLOUDDEAD's self titled. its so mysterious and ominous throughout the whole album and keeps you hooked throughout its entire hour plus run time. some people would argue its cloud rap, but i disagree with that, its totally experimental hip hop.

[@ABucketofJake]

I will give that a listen

[@kevinscott59]

I saw them live back in 2002. Talked to Dose for a while before the show.Awesome talent and person.

[@robertgaskill8632]

I love trap rap and experimental rap🤝

[@Nikkkkkkkkkkk]

BP is my favorite DG album but I’d be remiss to not acknowledge just how intense and downright terrifying some of the tracks off No Love Deep Web are. Like “Lock Your Doors” just has a dreadful, almost apocalyptic instrumentation, and the raw production of “No Love” fills me with a rising uneasiness through and through.

[@ABucketofJake]

You raise some good points

[@ilikelines7271]

Damnnnnn Peggy... I agree All My Heros Are Cornballs is a superior record to Veteran. Veteran is more experimental, but I think it gets lost in repetition with it's interludes becoming the SAME weird everytime. All My Heros Are Cornballs, on the other hand, has a massive amount of variety while simultaneously maintaining the strange vibe and production. That being said, both records are two of my favorite this decade, and Peggy is one of my fav artist rn. I highly highly reccomend both albums, can't go wrong with either.

Whoa thanks for these good stuff. I got to know Death Grips because of the game Critters for Sale, then I found this channel.

Gonna have to give these a shot! My usual music selection doesn’t overlap much with the stuff you tend to cover (I’m still out here unironically blasting dubstep in 2020), but you have a way of presenting it that just grabs me out of my seat. You hit right home recommending The Caretaker and this sounds real promising too.

Funny! This Experimental Hip Hop is turning out to be a huge and very deep rabbit hole. No need to send help, anybody that needs me wait at the other end. I'm kind of leaning toward the industrial side but the rest is pretty good too. JPEG was a lot better than I had expected. There's a list of the top 100 albums EHH online, this will take a while. Death Grips I'm going with Exmilitary as my fave then No Love Deep Web, then I'd say Money Store.

[@certainlyjoel7778]

Yooooooo I was hoping you would could include the Brockhampton album! I totally agree with your opinion on it!! There best album imo.

[@carltheconsumer9505]

Your voice sounds so much different compared to 5 years ago when you made your mont popular video

[@kall]

I like your list but I would've made some changes. Big Fish Theory is great but not extremely experimental. I would put it after tlop. I also think iridesence and Injury reserve should switch places, as well as Bottomless Pit and TEAATB. From filthy tongues of gods and griots is an album I would include after clipping. I feel like this album kind of combines DG and clipping in a sense, the style of clipping and the harshness of DG. I would also end the list off with By the time i get to phoenix. It's maybe not the most experimental (though it is very experimental) but it makes sense as the last album, since it's kind of "post hiphop". Otherwise it's a great list bro!
