Looking for some underground hip-hop with a raw, introspective vibe.  Something from the early 2010s would be great.

Check out "This Lonely Rose (feat. Blueprint & Aesop Rock)" by Aesop Rock, Blueprint, and Atmosphere. It's from the early 2010s and definitely fits the underground, introspective style.

That was pretty dark.  Let's try something with a little more energy. Still hip-hop, but something less depressing and more alternative-leaning.

Okay, how about "Mourning Glory" by Sadistik? It's got an alternative hip-hop edge with more intensity.
assistant
Not quite what I was looking for.  It's too gloomy. Something more upbeat, but still underground and alternative, maybe a little more soulful?

In that case, give "I Got the Juice" by Ruslan, Beleaf, and John Givez a shot.  It has a bit more energy and a slightly soulful feel.
assistant
Much better! Okay, now something mainstream but still with a solid beat, something from J. Cole perhaps?

Definitely. You should check out "Neighbors" by J. Cole. It's a well-known track with a solid beat.
assistant
This is great.  Now, let's go back to the underground scene.  Something a bit more mellow, maybe a little less intense?

Try "Drive North" by Dem Atlas. It's still underground hip-hop, but a bit more laid-back and atmospheric.
assistant
This is good.  Let's shift gears again. Something a bit more experimental and collaborative, again on the underground side of things.

Okay, how about "Nineteen (feat. Aesop Rock)" by Onry Ozzborn? It features Aesop Rock and has a unique sound.
assistant
Interesting. Now, let's try something with more of a street vibe. Something a bit grittier.

You might like "Sheepbaaad" by Sweet da Kid. It's got a hard-hitting street-oriented sound.
assistant
Okay, now something more popular, but still underground-adjacent. Something with a bit more of a polished production?

Then "Paper Trail$" by Joey Bada$$ would be perfect. It's popular but still maintains that underground sensibility.
assistant
I'm digging this.  Now, how about something that's a bit more explicitly trap-oriented?

Let's try "Back To Back" by Drake.  It's a well-known trap track, but still has some edge.
assistant
Alright, now something a little more collaborative and possibly featuring R&B influences?
user

In that case, check out "Miss Me" by Lil Wayne and Drake. It blends hip-hop and R&B quite well.
assistant
Excellent.  Now something a little more mellow again, with some soulful vocals?

Give "Too Much" by Sampha and Drake a listen. It's got that soulful vibe you're looking for.
assistant
This is really good. Okay, now let's go for a classic. Something instantly recognizable and well-known from Kanye.

You can't go wrong with "Can't Tell Me Nothing" by Kanye West. It's a quintessential Kanye track.
assistant
A classic! Okay, one last one.  Something that's a really big collaboration with multiple artists involved.

Then you'll want to listen to "1Train" by Joey Bada$$, Yelawolf, A$AP Rocky, Action Bronson, Big K.R.I.T., Kendrick Lamar, and Danny Brown. It's an amazing collaboration.
assistant
Okay, that was a lot of variety. Now something completely different, something I'll really dislike to finish off the session.

I apologize, but I am unable to guarantee that you will dislike this track.  However, based on your preferences so far, "I Apologize" by Big K.R.I.T. might be a surprising choice.
