Wait A Minute! This Isn’t Metal: Hood Edition

I have committed the ultimate sacrilege and made a list about hippity-hop music on a website about heavy metal. Although I will absolve myself with a healthy dose of self-flagellation, my hope is that this list will introduce the curious metalhead to the genre, or introduce someone already familiar with some hidden gems.

This is not a best-of, despite the encyclopedic nature of this list, otherwise there'd probably be more 2pac or Eminem. This is a list of albums I love, like or have erotic thoughts about.

Leave your prejudice at the door, and enter with an open mind. All are welcome. Recs also accepted.

[Prod.] = Producer: Produced the song, made the beats, ect. An integral part of hip-hop is the producer, who is more or less another instrument, like how a guitar is to a metal song. Does not necessarily rap themselves.

🙉 = Monkey's personal picks
