a lot of tylers music isn't even rap and is extremely niche a lot of people hate tylers music because it's different so not a really great example if you tryna listen to rap centric stuff

For me personally, I'm really into wordplay and the beat selection (since I make beats myself, so it kind of goes hand-in-hand for me).

There's a lot of great rappers who are proficient at rhyme schemes, flows and even doing double/triple-entendres. You can get really creative with the lyrics since you can practically rap about anything you'd like. Some people rap about money, drugs & women, some people rap about life's existentialism.

I mean with Tyler, @pugboy said it best - it's extremely niche. If you want to see the raw Tyler, you'd have to listen to his earlier albums (like Wolf or Goblin) to get the gist of what he was going for in the beginning. But since he has evolved so much over the years, then his direction in his sound has changed too so I understand why you didn't like his stuff that much.

If you want some decent recommendations then Mick Jenkins, Freddie Gibbs, Ab-Soul, Willie The Kid are some artists that come up off the top of my head. I personally think these four artists are genuinely talented at wordplay, rhyme schemes & flows.

It's not everyone's cup of tea of course. But for me since I dabble with music production (and especially hip-hop/trap), then it just applies for me the best.

I'd recommend giving it a few chances and obviously not stopping after 1 minute. I didn't like rap for a very long time but I've gotten used to it and now I love it. Hip hop is very diverse, so if you can find a rap/hip hop album that is under a genre that you like, that might help ease you into it, that's what I did personally.

not unpopular opinion, its trash and theres 0 emotion in it, at least the stuff that comes out these days. Its all based off making catchy beats and getting rich, no passion in it
