Still digesting it.
>>73628225
welcome to /mu/. now get out
>>73628277
I am as well. I get through a few songs and it feels like the first time I listened to SILY.
>>73628143
Donuts is better.
>>73628450
lol look at this ignorant
>>73628475
I'm more smarter.
It's kinda cheating because there are a handful of feature verses, but all of his beats are gorgeous
>everyone posts generic everybodyknown shit
guys pls
>>73628741
Alright, post something that isn't known then. Don't complain about taste if you won't post.
>>73628083
You already posted it.
thoughts on this?
>>73628912
This or one of Marcus D's albums.
>>73628838
Isn't that the guy that finished J Dilla's The Shining after he died?
>>73628642
Modal Soul and Departure are better
Sirrah is my favorite track.
>>73628083 is a dope album as well.
I haven't seen a thread with this much good taste in a long time. Love every album here (so far at least).
>>73628399
SILY???????
>>73628143
It's not better than this...
>>73628965
mu isn't fond of it, but it's got some catchy summer songs
>>73628083
>>73629336
my niggas for fat jon
>>73629556
that's almost cheating
>>73628143
This album didnt really capture my taste, and i was around the time when california underground hip hop was at its peak
I know its not entirely instrumental hip hop but still
>>73630594
you should get that checked out
>>73628083
its this simply because of the variety and the amount of god tier beats
>>73628143
this is more concise but the instrumentals aren't better, but they're still pretty damn good
>>73631547
donuts is not better than endtroducing
>>73631634
>nuh uh
tell me why its not better instead of just making statements
>>73631695
it's not as creative and its boring
>>73631935
>it's not as creative
actually i would argue its more creative simply for the versatility and variety of the beats, also for the samples used.
>and its boring
subjective as fuck
>>73631935
>he thinks that Donuts is uncreative
>>73632940
didn't say its uncreative fuckface
it's not anywhere near as creative as endtroducing foh
>>73632567
versatility and variety? dilla beats mostly all sound the same. the samples aren't very obscure either. hes good. you corny amillion people make 'dilla beats' but who out there is making something like endtroducing? because it's original and creative and not formulaic to the point that 'fans' can do the same shit.
yeah... shut up
>>73628083
you already did my friend
>>73633086
Not all of Endtroducing's are THAT obscure, there is even one song that sampled Orion or whatever that Metallica song was called and I'm pretty sure there are some other popular songs that were sampled that am also forgetting too
>>73630479
good one my dear friend, never seen it posted on mu until now
>>73633086
>waves, hi,geek down, airworks, workinonit all sound the same
these are only 5 songs off the top off my head, i simply cannot believe someone would say this. Just because his beat making is repeatable doesn't make it bad, but it definitely does show he has a distinct sound.
>Donuts isn't original or creative and is formulaic
more people also know about Dilla than DJ shadow. Also Dilla died so they could make a similar beat as a tribute. Endtroducing is good dont get me wrong but donuts has more going for it
>>73633162
i'm not claiming they are obscure samples dumbfuck you are
>>73633189
i'm not pulling the guys sound down or saying it's uncreative or bad wtf is wrong with you idiots? he stumbled onto his own flavor. it's very repeatable. not many people are able to repeat endtroducing's sound. it's not as creative as endtroducing. dilla was always mainstream and major label. shadow is mostly indie.
>>73629365
>>73633444
>because it's original and creative and not formulaic to the point that 'fans' can do the same shit.
These are your own words. Btw has anyone reputable ever attempted to ever recreate DJ shadows sound? Dilla gained significant notoriety after dying so clearly people are going to copy his sound
I prefer Endtroducing but I'll post this for the sake of variety
>>73634746
yeah but >everything I said already you not engaging with
>thanks for pointing out my own words to me
yeah i wrote them
dilla was already very well known and his sound was all over major labels and radio airwaves years before he even released donuts. he wasn't some underground dude. he was mainstream as hell and so was his sound. people didn't just clone his sound after he died. he makes good stuff but it's not that creative if every dickhead with a DAW can make it. it's cool it's just simple. i think it's fine people want to recreate it just as long as they learn from it and grow their own flavor. 'reputable'? you don't know shit about reputable. shadows sound is entirely his own you don't know what you will get from his releases. endtroducing is way more creative and it came out years before donuts too.
>'clearly'
>>73631150
The noise, drone, edm, and metal tracks really slow this album down, and make it a chore to listen to.
>>73636416
how's the baby food?

>>73636686
GTFOH
>>73636696

>>73628965
Great album but I don't see how it's instrumental hip hop.
>>73636883
ok got me
>>73628083
Dated.
>Not Lovage
>>73636659
no. Its madlib sampling/remixing songs from blue note records
>>73628083
Undoubtedly.
New music from him next week too lads
>>73628277
>>73629394
Imagine if this guy had better album artwork
>>73639158
yeah because music is about visual art right?
please post an instrumental hip hop album with better 'artwork'
Dirty Art Club - Heavy Starch
>>73639372
I didn't say that, and many have been posted in this thread
Relevant chart.
>>73639579
yeah so dude bro guy... which one that was posted for example again there James Van Allen?
>>73638203
does four tet really count as intrumental hip hop
>>73640143
No but GZA - LIQUID SWORDS does somehow.
>>73640180
probably a joke since it always gets memed here

my nigga
>>73639531
this desu
Being instrumental sounds like the most counterintuitive thing for hip hop to be
>>73641630
why's that?
hydeout 2 is superior to the first on so many levels
>>73641664
Maybe I associate hip hop too strongly with rap style vocal delivery but synthesised, rhythmatically pronounced music doesnt sound like great instrumental material either unless its fused with another genre to the point where its not fully hip hop anymore.
Beatminerz released instrumental versions of Enta Da Stage and Dah Shinin. While you can tell the instrumentals weren't made to be stand-alone without vocals they're still incredibly well made, probably the best producing the east coast saw in the 90s.

West Coast is Best
>>73628450
how?
>>73628083
I wish kanye west would make an instrumental album
>>73642869
College Dropout instrumentals are great and easy to find.
>>73641667
Probably the best thing to ever come out of Hydeout.
this is all you need
dj shadow - private press
flying lotus - you're dead (if it counts)
>>73628984
modal soul 10/10 best nujabes album
>>73639158
what's wrong with the album artwork?
>>73647078
not my favorite instrumental hip hop but damn goody
>>73647391
not an argument
>>73647410
I know. I'm just saying you have autism.
>>73635182
You want to argue some more or do you want to move on?
>>73647501
You should stop arguing with him.
>>73647519
I like his persistent autism and his anger of others having opposing views
>>73647590
Yeah. But it will just lead to an endless downward spiral of complete fuckery.
But it's your call.
Endtroducing > Donuts
the point stands
>>73636416
m8 those bits make it a masterpiece
>>73647300
Looks bad
>arguing album covers
>>73647590
guess which one you are
>>73648588
Was gonna post this
ahhhhh yeah they're jelly!

real good

That's mean.
>>73640075
I'm 27 now, and just when I thought I would grow out of it, I happen to enjoy it the most.
Everything is just, so intricate and raw, there's nothing like it. The looping may throw off the traditional music enthusiast, but RZA, Tru Master and 4th Disciple truly poured their heart into it and created an amazing soundset for the Wu to rap on.

>>73628965
some hooks are too catchy for their own good, not much replay value
>>73638203
not really hip hop, but a great album nonetheless
>>73653222
a lot of stuff passes for hip hop these days so I think it's fine
>Drake is a 'rapper'
>>73653222
and fourtet is dope
Oh my what an aesthetically pleasing pillow.
Artsy and shit.
