Instrumental Hip Hop is good but a CD full of 4-5 minute loops gets tedious. Can't listen to something like Petestrumentals all the way through but Donuts is brilliant as they are snippets.

If psytrance is the only type of instrumental music you're willing to listen to, you're really missing out on a lot of great music. Two of the largest and most significant styles of music of the past few hundred years, jazz and classical, are largely instrumental. Seems a shame to miss out on all of that. Not to mention the fact that you're also missing out on large chunks of everything from surf music to flamenco, post-rock to Chinese classical, tango to ambient music, IDM to third stream, etc., etc.

If you hadn't already discovered, RJD2 was the sole producer on Magnificent City, the Aceyalone album I recommended. I think there's an instrumental version as well.

I did discover that, and it made me all the more excited to listen to it.

Oh, absolutely not. I like Classical music too. I simply meant that its the kind of instrumental music genre I enjoy the most. I dont particularly enjoy instrumental music much, which is why classical and psytrance are the only ones I like. I dont think Im missing out on anything at all. I enjoy what I enjoy, I dont really want to be convinced to hear other genres. I understand your positive intention about this though, thanks.

Favourite rap album is a tough one; it's gotta have the right balance of energy, lyricism and production. Quite honestly, the album that seems to fit that best for me is My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy by Kanye West.

Amerikkkas Most Wanted will always be my favorite. I think its Cubes best by a longshot.

Definitely a great album, but I wouldn't call it my favorite so quickly. Like I said many times already, Its hard for me to decide. BUt its definitely ONE of my favorites. I dont really like to have one favourite album, I like to have many favortes. That way I dont need to put much thought into this.

I downloaded various rap songs from many artists, and I just put it on Shuffle and it randomly plays the songs in random order. Anyone else does that here?

That album does have a beautiful mix of those 3 qualities you listed, great album with a lot of dynamics.
