hello! I am also a hiphop/rap enthusiast. I have been listening to quite a bit of hiphop for a long time, including Nas. I have something for you, I don't know if you have heard of Odd Future [1], but I find them to be pretty similar and really very interesting! Also, while I am at it, shoutout to BROCKHAMPTON [2] for being really amazing at this game!

As far as genres go, I think you'll find that most people here are pretty open minded. Some of the first people on here were sourced from the mod team of /r/music and /r/listentothis, so expect to see things from just about every genre.
It's hard to say how the taste of this group will develop as the site grows, but I'm hoping we can keep this a place for high-quality music discussion from all genres.

It's about as good as Illmatic if you ask me, but too often it gets treated as the album with Nas is Like on it and nothing else.

Not really a hiphophead per se, but I do enjoy hip-hop quite a bit! Favorites in particular being cLOUDDEAD, Common, OutKast, Kanye, Kno, Travis Scott. I lean more towards southern hip-hop and soulful hip-hop in general.
I'm a huge 90s hip hop fan. Illmatic is the greatest album of all time imo. It's flawless in every way. Boom bap is by far my favorite sub genre of hip hop.

I love me some Nas but I dunno about Illmatic being the greatest of all time... The Low End Theory, 36 Chambers, The Score, Black on Both Sides, Soundbombing II and many more are certainly in the running as well for me. It's really hard to pick a definitive winner amongst the pure genius that was 90s rap/hip-hop.
I love Nas because his flow was so ahead of it's time. It revolutionized hip hop and elevated it forever imo. He was the second coming of Rakim. People forget that when Nas blew everyone's minds...
I love Nas because his flow was so ahead of it's time. It revolutionized hip hop and elevated it forever imo. He was the second coming of Rakim. People forget that when Nas blew everyone's minds in 94 that he'd already been writing and rapping like that since 1991. Remember what the majority of hip hop was doing and sounding like in 1991? I think illmatic sounds just as fresh today as it did when it came out.
That said, I love all of your other suggestions too. ATCQ is def my favorite group of all time. I guess I tend to separate single artists from groups. Q tip is special to me though.
You do make a good point about his flow being revolutionary, especially compared to most other artists at the time... but remember, Low End Theory was ‘91 as well and Tribe's flow was just as...

Love that album. I really enjoy slower rap like what BIG did. However, I can't say I'm much "in the know" about recent hip-hop so I'm enjoying this thread. One of the last shows I went to was the...

Recently, I find myself enjoying the various lofi hiphop stations on YouTube. Great for relaxing.

I'm def. in the "Old Head" category, but I dig beats and rhymes.
Looking forward to the hip hop sub as a solid resource for good new music.

I never knew "Boom Bap" was a genre lol, I just know it as a sound.
Yea it's basically that mid 90s east coast rap sound.
I love me some Nas but I dunno about Illmatic being the greatest of all time... The Low End Theory, 36 Chambers, The Score, Black on Both Sides, Soundbombing II and many more are certainly in the running as well for me.

Oh I don't disagree. ATCQ is legendary. Beats Rhymes and Life is my favorite album by them. I think my favorite track of theirs is The Hop.
