Best 100 abstract hip hop releases

Abstract hip hop is a subgenre of hip hop music that emphasizes experimental and unconventional elements, such as complex and intricate rhyming schemes, atypical song structures, and unconventional sampling and production techniques. It emerged in the mid-1990s and is often associated with underground and alternative hip hop scenes. The lyrics in abstract hip hop often focus on abstract or introspective topics, rather than traditional themes like materialism or braggadocio, and may incorporate poetic or stream-of-consciousness techniques. Some notable abstract hip hop artists include Aesop Rock, MF DOOM, and El-P.
