"Instrumental Hip-Hop Sucks. Ban It Forever."

great post

I kinda wanna listen to the new wiz album since j0rd described it as being a good instrumental album

i listen to tons of intrumental versions of songs on 12 inches. from the 80's to the 2000's. and i can do that forever. well, i've done it since the 80's anyway. but i don't actually listen to quote unquote instrumental hip hop albums. though i like some of them which i point out upthread. my favorite mix tapes to make are instrumental mixes of 90's and 2000's rap singles. i play them over and over again. the more minimal the better. i draw the line at breaks&beats comps though. drum drops. that kind of thing. i made a tape of freestyle edits and dubs the other night and it is so killer if i do say so myself.

please post it, all the mixes of yours I've listened to have been p great

otm

One of my favourite albums from this year was a (mostly) instrumental hip-hop albums by a duo of Finnish rap veterans called Koti6. You can listen to it on Spotify:

There's nothing groundbreaking about it, the simply have a great ear for samples, and know how to use them.

Whoa, 497 comments!

had to check the dates to make sure the recent posts in this thread weren't from 10 years ago

as in, hey guys, we're living in a beat renaissance.

I go to like beat based shows like every week tho

there was just a certain kind of like dusty jazz over semi-interesting semi-boring breaks vibe that I am looking for idk

j0rdan is so otm abt the wiz album
that 'ridin out in my ride' song is so bad lyrically but the production omg
