The Evolution of Abstract Hip-Hop: A Historical Overview

YOU FORGOT DELA SOUL A TRIBE CALLED QUEST

I cannot live without this genre. Great video 👏🏻

My favorite underground rappers are bus driver and earl sweatshirt are my favorite ones open mike and rap ferreira and abstract rude are my favorite ones

Awesome and creative of how they made great

nice, you talked about Anticon. I remember that era, the Infesticons, Mike Ladd, Cannibal Ox, etc.

Doom and Ultra are considered abstract? What about the abstract?

Crazy you didnt mention the work of Ade Hakim and Standing on the Corner, as well as MIKE, who were the inspiration for Some Rap Songs. Their influence is understated bc they were earls sound before earl had that sound if you get what i mean. Also Ramellzee and Basquiat started abstract hip hop back in the early early 80s w Beat Bop. Good vid but there was definitely stuff that you shouldve mentioned

I wonder if Das Racist also fits into this category. Their weird references to the poppest of pop culture to deeper philosophical cuts to drugged out personal reflection, often in the same line , seems like it makes them a solid referent.

You got most of it, a couple of artists here I didn't know about! Each one teach one, peace!

eee, you left out one of the legends, but he wouldn't g.a.f... i did learn of Milo's new ego so thats fair. r.eye.p Oliver Hart and Camu Tao

Thanks for the feedback on this video. I don't claim to be an expert on Abstract Hip Hip. I'm just a fan that wants to learn more and build a Hip Hop community. I know I missed many key artists and I mispronounced Aesop Rock, it was an honest mistake. I didn't mean to disrespect the legends name.

You need way more subs and views.

Check out Y’all So Stupid - Van full of Pakistans

Glad to see the last pic of the video even tho no mention of his name: QUELLE CHRIS!!!!

Kool Keith is great, but you can't skip over Rammellzee, he kicked abstract shit on Beat Bop in '83.

Eyedea (RIP) & Abilities, Sage Francis, Brother Ali, Camu Tao (RIP) - too many to name but still a good list albeit clearly not from someone who actually listens to this (hearing about "A$AP Rock" made me spit my water out lol)

Never heard of "A$AP Rock" and "Are-mond Hammer" lmfao atleast you can say DOOM and Earl (plus the Serengeti pic was appreciated even he didnt get a mention)

dude obv chat GPT/googled this whole thing, list is great but you call AESOP Rock A$AP Rock and cant pronounce Armand Hammer (like the brand arm and hammer, not Are-mond Hammer lmfao) so its hard to see u as a real head
