I'm not really into hip hop but I love this album. Can you guys recommend me what you consider to be the best instrumental hip hop albums?
Endtroducing is good too.
gosh this will be a new interesting thread
I really wish we had a wiki full of charts to not need to repeat these threads
oh wait, we fucking do
Madlib discography.
Uyama Hiroto discography.
oh man i love memerap.
you should check out yung shermans instrumental tracks or something.
or Evil Needle or dj okawari for a legitimate recommendation.

Don't get fooled by the first track, the rest are instrumentals
>>53210042
this is awesome listening now
>>53210042
Glad you dig it, I've given that one a few spins every month or two since it has come out.
Check out a couple by Apollo Brown, Clouds and Thirty Eight. Not on the level as Rock Creek Park but still good beat tapes

madlib - shades of blue is the only album that comes close to donuts
(gosh i write this every fucking day, people got to accept that there is nobody better nor as good as Dilla)
Some more recommendations
Kid Koala - 12 Bit Blues
Lord Finesse - SP1200 Project
Madlib - Shades of Blue
Oddisee - Traveling Man
>>53209985
DJ Rashad, not 100% instrumental, but still worth a listen imo.

>Uyama Hiroto
Yes! Of course. Because when you discover J Dilla what you need to hear is an artist who does the same thing, worse.
And Man Bites Dog - Noir
>>53210663
>the same thing
How is Jdilla's soul/boombap style even close to Uyama's eastern Nu-Jazz
Pete Rock- Petestrumentals or NY's Finest Instrumentals
MF DOOM- Metal Fingers Presents: Special Herbs And Spices, The Box Set Vol. 0-9
Flying Lotus- Los Angeles or Cosmogramma (If you wanna listen to some more wonky stuff).

>Uyama Hiroto discography
he has like one album lol
but it's very good
Nujabes, even though he has some stuff with MCs on his records defs check out Modal Soul, Metaphorical music and the hydeout collections.
>>53211145
yeah his second album was pretty disappointing. Especially after how long its been
araabMUZIK - Electronic Dream
it's instrumental hip hop but there's a lot of trance in there too
>>53211165
>second album
wait, what
i didn't even know this
fuck i need to check it out
>>53211165
>>53211145
yea tho i've listened to it a few times and it's still alright but with it being kinda a part 2/continuation of the first it didnt feel like a proper album
Clams Casino's first mixtape
>>53211201
yeah came out last year. Its not bad by any means and has some dope tracks on it. I just didnt think it lived up the the first overall
>>53211232
>with it being kinda a part 2/continuation of the first
i'm completely okay with that
i mean i think that's what most people would have expected from him anyways, going from jazzy instrumental hip hop to ethereal cloud rap would be a pretty huge change in sounds
>>53211308
ya but I was hoping for new material not just a rehash of his previous album, I mean everything from the track names and ideas for each track are similar and on some tracks you can tell he used the same drum kits and effects

lee (asano+ryuhei) discography (search in the archive, there are links on flac and 320 kbps)
Madlib's Beat Konducta series
Black Milk & Danny Brown's Black & Brown (it's not entirely instrumental, but I think it's a great start for anyone).
Jay Dee's Welcome 2 Detroit
Jay Dee's Ruff Draft
Metal Fingers series (MF DOOM as a producer, includes beats from Ghostface Killah's Fishscale, King Geedorah's Take Me To Your Leader, Doomsday, Born Like This, Mm..Food, etc., tl:dr, almost every beat DOOM has made)
Nujabes discography
