Great jazz samples and instrumentals and the awesome lyrics of GURU.
The beats were a bit innovate 20 years ago when the album was made, but Guru's vocal delivery is a bit rough and unlistenable IMO.

I'm going to recommend Madlib's Shades of Blue album. It's mostly instumental, yes, but still melodic hip hop and quite listenable.

I thought it had moments, but that they couldn't be redeemed by what I considered negative qualities (f.ex. that piano based song where the guy at the end talks about ****ing for two or three minutes).

So far, I've found a few albums that I consider listenable, but wouldn't purchase for myself or listen to regularly.

  • Eternia & MoSS - At Last
  • Dalek - Absence
  • Buck 65 - 20 Odd Years
  • Beast - Beast
  • Why? - Alopecia
I like instrumental hip hop, and I love trip hop. The one album closest to hip hop in nature that I can say I love through and through is Gorillaz - Demon Days.

So, any hope for me?
I would check out Company Flow's 'Little Johnny From the Hospital'. It's a very diverse, instrumental hip-hop album that could fit your criteria.

-----------------
As for myself, I have a few different genres I really dislike. So, I might be back later when I decide the direction I want to go in.

That sounds somewhat similar to how I feel. BUT I have found that I really enjoy Das Racist, The Jealous Guys' Love Mixtape, as well as Madvillainy. I also like some stuff from Ghostpoet and Dizzee Rascal (older stuff). I'm not exactly sure what it is about them that I enjoy, so I can't say what I'm really on the lookout for. I do know I hate club oriented Hip-Hop. Immensely.

Go on on YouTube and listen to "Tha Crossroads" by Bone-Thugs-N-Harmony. That is the perfect song for what you are looking for.

Thanks, but I'm definitely looking for full albums as well. I'm not much of a single track person. Is their full length something I'd be interested in?

Black Up - Shabazz Palaces (experimental hip hop mainly focused on the instrumentals; can be somewhat repetitive lyrically)

Vocal Studies + Uprock Narratives - Prefuse 73 (very interesting instrumentals and features a few great emcees)

Appleseed EP - Aesop Rock (Sure you know him. This is one of his lesser known works, but one of his best; heavy use of strings)

A Sufi and a Killer - Gonjasufi (not hip hop, but has hip hop elements)

Take Me To Your Leader - King Geedorah (Another well known artist but one of his lesser known albums; get what you'd expect from a DOOM album)

Quicksand - Noah23 (abstract lyricism with very nice production)

^These are some pretty good ones.

Madvillain- Madvillainy (highest rated rap album of all time on metacritic. just saying)

Blackstar- Blackstar (this album is a classic that everyone should listen to.)

Mos Def- The Ecstatic (Really interesting and varied production throughout the whole album. Top notch lyricism by mr. Mos, and his last album under that name)

Any album by A Tribe Called Quest is fantastic, but you should get The Low End Theory and Midnight Marauders first.
