Post your fav instrumental albums

[Ciggavelli]

Oh yeah, we can't be forgetting Herbie Hancock. shyt he kinda started that whole electronic thing:

 

[Big Mel]

Gangrene isn't instrumental.

 

[Poitier]

Gangrene isn't instrumental.

You're right. I meant Oh No.

 

[ThaRealness]

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.

ya I kind of forget about 85-92. I fukk with it

true.. instrumental hip hop has been stagnant for a while.

I think in the 90s/early 2000s there was more variety cause the artists were combining trip hop & idm influences.. all these new instrumental producers are just trying to recreate the dilla sound

 

[Big Mel]

well the thing about Oh No is he's Madlib's little brother and madlib is every bit Dilla's equal. Plus all Oh No's instrumental stuff is him working with one specific set of records....Ethiopian funk, eastern euro rock, galt mcdermot, the now again catalog etc.

And Waajeed was Dilla's right hand so they were contemporaries.

the rest def are Dilla students.

Lee Bannon is definitely Dilla influenced. hes dope but he just hasnt carved out a distinct sound yet

 

[Big Mel]

Alexander Spit is ass

 

[Poitier]

I'd like to see Arca produce some real rap not gimmickrap like Mykki Blanco and LE1F

 

[Yoda]

Im tired of these Dilla stans over-praising him. He's BEEN surprassed

 

[mortuus est]

Lee Bannon is definitely Dilla influenced. hes dope but he just hasnt carved out a distinct sound yet

ok ok true, im just listening to his stuff now but dilla is more sample normal funk and soul stuff and maybe random shyt here n there imo
