Recommendations for recent rap and hip hop recordings please.

This is great question. IMHO, we are all different, I associate the advantages of a high end system with accurate dynamics.

But let’s look at your definition for a moment. If a system can accurately portray voices, and acoustic instruments, it seems that it can just as accurately portray distortion that is intentionally woven into the musical fabric by the artist. I don’t think that will make you like the music any more, but it will convey the tonality that the artist intended.

If you are able to stream, pull up the Barbie soundtrack. You will hear a variety of rap, and hip-hop, and though it may not change your outlook, perhaps it will broaden it.

viridian,

Sorry if I offended you. Mostly kidding. However, I have been told that if you have rodents in your home, playing rap music may eradicate them or perhaps get them dancing, which could be entertaining....

So, I guess there may be a useful purpose.

LOL! My rodents can't stand Mahler; no accounting for taste.

I know it was a little over the top, we old guys enjoy that kind of humor.

Enjoy whatever music makes you happy!

I'm 67 years old, so still young? Cool, I'll take that!
