I need me some hiphop!

Yea, i need me some hiphop, and i'm not a big fan of rap so that's not important but i know nothing about good hiphop, it could also be really old, almost at the funk era, you know? Jazzy beats or something.

I really enjoy Flying Lotus which produces kickass beats, is there anything else (pre 2000) which i must hear?

Bring me those beats!

really obvious but you say you aren't a big fan of Hip-Hop...

A TRIBE CALLED QUEST

THE PHARCYDE

No no, i said i'm not a big fan of rapping but i love hiphop, 2 completely different things

So far listening to Dj Krush and i like it

If I may be so bold to suggest my latest mix, featuring Dilla, A Tribe Called Quest, KRS, and Mantronix mixed with a healthy dose of dubby, heavy, watmm-approved beats.

this eric b. and rakim track turned me on to bass. it's not the main element of the track but remember drivin' in my friends car and the bass kickin' was awesome!

not completely different things at all. rap is an integral part of hip hop.

Put in on Big L, put it on!

ONYX!!

we did a pretty good old hiphop thread a few months ago, can't find it now of course but I remember Camp Lo being brought to my attention by it

No one seems to be reading...Sounds to me you are looking for instrumental hip-hop. I really like that stuff.

But since you mention possibly going back to the funk and jazzy beats era, you might be interested in this. I just happened to download it today. It's a 2-track compilation a bit over 40 minutes long. The second track is screwed though, so I'll actually have to buy it one of these days. It's worth checking out at least the first track though.

Quite the claim for someone who "know(s) nothing about good hiphop"

I cant really find if you want instrumental or not since rapping is really what makes hiphop what it is... I'll just list a little bit of everything.

For jazzy hiphop stuff, check out:

I mean i don't know any artists or recommendations but i know quite a bit about hiphop, there is a lot of hiphop out there without rap and that's my primary target.

Also, hit me funk and everything related to hiphop!

Nice suggestions!, Love that J-Dilla song

Hiphop is what most of my collect revolves around so / just let me know / how deep ya want to go :D

Caesar, download Oh No Vs. Now-Again. Very funky instrumental hip hop.

best hip hop song ever??>

Souls of Mischief are fucking excellent

instead of casting aspersions upon your faulty distinction between rap and hip-hop i recommend ultramagnetic mc's in the hopes of remedying your aversion to mc'ing
