Listening to Amy Winehouse right now, her lyricism >>>>>>

Her, St. V, and Taylor are going to be my main influences in this competition.

So, since you are talking about Shania, I have a bunch of Shania albums but have only listened once to each. I have her debut, Come On Over, and The Woman In Me. Which should I listen to to get into her?

Yeah I've only heard the live Wolves like 3 times I think i'm just trying to find something I can connect to with this era but its hard. Same with Rih too.

I agree about Yeezus though. Its very unchained which is great but I guess that just meant low replay value for me.

Wait, you haven't liked Rih's recent material? Bitch Better Have My Money is the lesser of her three actual songs, but FourFiveSeconds and American Oxygen are both incredible. I love the ironic take on modern day America in AO2 and the raw earthiness of FourFiveSeconds. Both Kanye's stuff and Rih (to a lesser extent) have been growers for me though to be fair.

It's been awhile since the last time I listened to Yeezus, but there are so many interesting commentaries on race and wealth in there that whenever I listen to a song, I have to listen to the whole thing.

Some of my top rap/hip-hop albums off the top of my head:

Kendrick Lamar - Good Kid, M.A.A.D City

omg I forgot about this

Also I'd add Nas - Illmatic to mine, I have so much nostalgia attached to that one too.

Illmatic is so ****ing dope, I was legit gonna list it right after Straight Outta Compton but I was just gonna keep going and going and I just had to stop.

But yeah you have good taste!

Well you have almost her entire discography but depends what are versions of "Come On Over" and "Up!" that you have?

I love AO2 a lot actually, but I hate FFS a lot and I don't really care for Bitch... overall its just very inconsistent and unfocused for me. I was hoping she'd bring it.

Yeah its definitely a classic. I sorta inherited both Illmatic and his next album too and I love both!

Oh sorry! Most people don't know that her self titled exists so I always think of "Up!" on its place when someone mentions it. Well while "Shania Twain" is really underrated "Come On Over", either the North American (the one that you have) or the International edition, are better than it.

So yeah you should start with CMO then!

[Hugamari]

Oh, and as far as the rap question goes, Iggy Azalea is the only rap I like.

[MattyTacos]

Omg I also love Kacey Musgraves, I should buy her album

I think I picked up a copy of "Shania Twain" from my library or something because I was curious and liked the cover, but I'll start with 'Come On Over."

Let me get Come On Over out of my cloud and take a listen. Thanks guys
