KanKick mix

nice, is there perhaps a tracklist for this mix? I like it!

I prefer instrumentals as well, just started listening to J Dilla and Madlib for a bit, tried some old Run DMC and stuff like that a while back, found out Ï just don't really enjoy rap. It often distracts me from the music.

On The Shining by J Dilla, the vocals are just fucking annoying imo, maybe because J D didn't produce it himself (right?) anyway the vocals just seem out of place, especially on E=MC2.

Anyway, I do really like the instrumental versions of all the tracks on The Shining, so I'd recommend checking out The Shining (Instrumentals) if you haven't already.

jeru, wu, odb, tribe, slum village, j dilla, q-bert, handsome boy modeling school, shadow, krush, afu-ra, krs one, mad lib, madvillain, mos def, talib, black star, roots, cloudead
