^ last one is a piece from 82' movie called wildstyle. recommended. (ESSENTIAL.)

man there is really nothing like early 90s hip hop.

InI - group out of mount vernon, production by pete rock and his brother grap luva, produced in 1996 but released in 2003. Real jazzy vibes.

Probably my favourite beat.

yo this is great!

for real. thanks for posting those.

What Pharcyde-release would you guys recommend as a starter? I got a box of vinyls from a friend including several albums by this band, but I haven't listened to any of them.

Most people would start with Bizarre Ride II Tha Pharcyde, but maybe start with Labcabincalifornia instead if you enjoy J Dilla's beats (he did a bunch for the latter album).

not really in the same category but one of my absolute all time favorite tracks from my day
