I had a knee jerk reaction that this was a new Foster troll thing but I realized it probably wasn't.

Judging by the way this was initially presented and op's replies, I suspect your spidey-senses are tingling correctly.

Hello everyone.

Since I first started to make my own playlists, and finding my own music as a young teenager I've been on a quest to find the most profound and groundbreaking music. To find the music that metaphorically sits all the way at the bottom of the iceberg, or the music that is found at the tip of the pyramid. The finest displays of genius, craftsmanship and raw emotion.

I barely spend any time online, so I wouldn't know what kind of discussions regarding music appear out there, but from my experience in real life, I rarely find people who aim to find the absolute best of the best. Hence why I'm starting this thread.

I aim for it to start a big sharing event. A moment of altruism where can come together and discuss the best of what we've come across in our lives and share it. I hope it can also create new and fresh discussions, or at least advance old discussions further than before.

I will start this by expressing my disappointment in rap/hiphop. I've struggled to find anything good in this genre. Part of it is my fault, as I don't really try anymore. I give up from the get go.

If any of you know some real profound hiphop, I would appreciate finding out about it. I aim to find hiphop that can make me cry the way a bittersweet piano solo could. Maybe the ramblings of a grieving man slowly decaying from pain. Hell, commentary on society if it's done well enough. Just please, for the love of god, something far better than what the mainstream has to offer.
I'm looking for some beautiful poetry executed with flawless flows, on an instrumental that actually drives me emotionally. I'd love to find something like that.

I will also start this discussion by sharing what I deem to be one of the best piano players/composers in recent years, the late AJ Hickling. He tragically passed away right at the end of 2023, soon before being able to realize his biggest project to date. That being, conducting his own orchestra based on his original compositions. Luckily for his audience, he released four of those orchestral pieces made with virtual libraries before passing away. It's an album known as "Orchestral Dreams", which can be found on his bandcamp. This at least allows me to imagine what it could've been like to witness his orchestra in person.
He was a very prominent busker in New Zealand. He has done more other varied styles of music too. I highly recommend checking him out.
