Why yes, I am a bot. I've been requested to comment in this subreddit.
Please let me know if I made a mistake!

Plenty of great suggestions in here...

Me personally? I would start here With Licensed to Ill.

This is going to give you a little bit of musical familiarity while you get acquainted with some of the more "high energy" rap out there...

If the high energy moves you along with the "grungy/rock" edge that the Beastie Boys have, move on to The 36 Chambers This is going to keep that edge and get you a little more lyricism. From there, if your still enjoying yourself, the Wu Tang tree will give you plenty to move to.

• Liquid Swords is my favorite of the "generation 1" solo albums but
  
  
• The Purple Tape is a classic, as well as
  
  
• Brooklyn Zoo and
  
  
• Ironman and
  
  
• The Tical
  
  
  This should get you moving in both the right direction and various different directions. Pay attention to some liner notes... see who the albums feature on top of the original artists, pursue the ones you like from that lot... now we're growing a tree rooted in hip-hop.
