This is awesome but I can't find that album anywhere :(

What would you guys say is Nujabes' best album?

I'd have to say his 2nd Hydeout Collections anthology is probably my personal favorite overall.

Between Metaphorical Music and Modal Soul my personal favorite is modal soul but I can see why Metaphorical Music is usually said by most fans to be their favorite.

Honestly, I can't choose. Metaphorical Music has Blessing It whereas Modal Soul has Horizon.

Modal Soul has "Feather", the greatest song ever recorded. Enough said.

Metaphorical Music is all around better. Dat Lady Brown guitar beat

I have to go with Modal Soul myself. Horizon, Light on the Land, and World's End Rhapsody are fabulous.

I've repeated this one a few times already

Sweet Day

In case you haven't heard it yet:

This is my favorite track of her. (The world is ours)

Great thread. Subscribed! :)

I was getting a big post ready but over the last two days you guys have already posted everything.


Also, Tokimonsta is kinda hot.

On the subject, I can't figure out how to search artists in the new Pandora (I haven't used it in a long time).

If anybody here likes Marcus D or Cise Star, check this song out, called "Greater Purpose"

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...0215237&sr=1-1

EDIT: Youtube link added

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aemHKgRI0O4

Cise Star is definitely grouped among my favorite hip hop lyricists. So good. He has so many lines that are just so... well, fucking amazing, I guess. Raw and clever and good.

Tokimonsta is super hot. Plus she's a dj? shiiieet. I'm already a sucker for girls that are musicians.

@Eravulgaris, Yep, I heard that one. It's become on of my fav from her too.

Just like somebody else posted, I only listened to the first track so far but DAMMMNNN. Love it!

Awesome thread btw. I've already heard most of what was posted but there's plenty of new to check out.

You can get it from CDjapan or YesAsia. I'm not sure if there's a digital download anywhere.

It's the fishy.

Oy, there are way too many albums to digest at once in here.

I've known about Blazo for a while now, but Colors of Jazz is on another level. He was always good but damn, he stepped his game up with that one.

ive made peace with it - do you got a better name, though? i think it kinda incorporates the sound, jazz rap and other stuff ive seen not so much.

I just don't like it cause Hip-Hop was born from jazz in the first place, and a large number of hip-hop songs use jazz compositions as a basis. Shits just kinda redundant.
I'm not a fan of most genre labelings in the first place, though. Jazz-Hop is good enough for this thread, don't let my bitching get to you.

Lovin the thread, though. Big ups on making it. I've spent a large portion of my life zoning out to instrumentals in the dark of the night.

dope thread...lot of the artists here have definitely provided some rhyming inspiration just from vibing to their instrumentals.

@ pinko - haha, yeah - its funny cause i used to just call the playlist vibe cause that's what id do when listening to it, but it made me think too much of the magazine.

absolutely right on hip-hop being born of jazz, too. i like to think it came from that and some blues as well, all very american art forms and at times shit feels oddly cumulative for me...anyway.

that brown album is the only mix i never heard (kno did the white one, right?), gonna check that one out too.

yeah, kno did the white album. everyone knows about the grey album. theres also a 9th wonder remix album. those are the only notable ones I can think of off the top.

so anyone here know of Knxwledge? dude is friggen crazy. seems like he drops a new instrumental tape like every week. seriously.

http://gloof.bandcamp.com/

Just found these guys through YouTube recommendations. Like the beat/music a lot:

Cyne: Collection 1999-2003
[IMG]http://i38.************/244smjl.jpg[/IMG]

Cyne - Paradise

Bonobo - Noctuary

This is one of my favourite Bonobo tracks. I especially love the build up from around 3:25 onwards and the subtle little flurries on the bass at 3:41 and 4:00.
