All I'm saying is that with the rise of Mike Will Made It and Chief Keef rapping over a faux Aphex beat on Citgo.... that stuff has to be considered proto-rap now... it just took longer to catch on than the Dilla/Madlib/DOOM stuff

 

[Ciggavelli]

Kinda instrumental:

I can't push his shyt enough. He's so underrated:

 

[Big Mel]

Dam Funk is awesome. That's like some G Funk/Quik type Cali instrumental shyt. I had a bar in Venice sprung off that album.

 

[Timmy]

Chuck Inglish - WRKING

 

[Ciggavelli]

All beat tapes after Dilla are derivative. Here are true classic compositions....

I Care Because You Do

Selected Ambient Works

The Underwater Adventure Hop Secret Treasure

I was looking through my shyt, and I gotta agree. Aphex Twin was way ahead of his time:

So beautiful


And then so crazy:



You can hear his shyt in a lot of producers

from what i've read, he had a lot to do with the beats in that G Funk era, played a lot of keyboards etc

 

[Timmy]

Blazo - Colors of Jazz

 

[Prae]

I don't know if this counts, and I haven't listened to much of this guy nor his albums...

But first time I heard this with the KRS/Royce/Prodigy whoever else intro

 

[Ciggavelli]

If we go into different genres my list expands dramatically. I used to fukk with instrumental shyt real heavy back in the day:

I'll just leave these two here:

the 90s electronic scene is cool... those artists make such intense music though for the most part.

only old school electro I find myself coming back to regularly is The Orbs Adventures Beyond The Underworld. cause that shyt is actually something I can groove to

 

[Big Mel]

for the TS. everything I posted is Hip Hop ish.

I think those 2 albums are, by far, more accessible than the typical Aphex record. Also, everyone should checkout Secret Frequency Crew, if they have never heard it.

Like I said, 99% of beat music after Dilla is just derivative

Gangrene is kind of cool, Alchemist, HudMo, etc but it's not really breaking any kind of ground.
