Came to say this, I'm not even really into the instrumental scene like that but Late Night Cinema is one of my favorite albums of the last ten years, any genre.

Someone posted 14KT - The Golden Hour, I really enjoyed that too.

so funny how jason gloss posts a thread questioning a hip hop beef, which intrigues you to enter the thread... and then you front like you're not actually into the shit when another poster posts about a beef in hip hop involving one of the same parties threadstarter references...

get gloss's dick out of your mouth or spread the hate evenly... you come off really groupy-ish to the point of being pathetic, stop trying to fit in, nobody gives a fuck about you or thinks you're funny... just another little wigger on ignore

no kidding... it's NOT INSTRUMENTAL HIP HOP...

how do you guys fail this much at comprehension?

vermillion posted a list of instrumental albums... not all of which are hip hop... so i responded by posting other instrumental tracks that are NOT HIP HOP as the criteria of what should be posted obviously drastically changes if dubstep/ambient etc is involved...

and nobody cares if you consider any of that to suck... globally recognized as one of the greatest genres music currently has to offer, if you don't realize this it's because you are a sheep who is close minded and only accepts what others feed to him...

get a sense of style
