If you like this they've also got an album called "Northern Star" that is worth finding.

lol I guess it came off as sarcastic, but I haven't heard any new instrumental music in a minute, so I'm just gonna cop an album or two.

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.

I aint trying to dry snitch or nothing like that, but lets just say those horses got ran up on by some stallion gambino niggas for they medallions son, and them shits wasn't even real.

Dusty Fingers · Post by **Dusty Fingers** » Thu Feb 25, 2010 5:47 am

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

i wouldnt classify any of those videos posted as nstrumental hip hop. also they sucked

Dusty Fingers · Post by **Dusty Fingers** » Thu Feb 25, 2010 1:02 pm

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

Dusty Fingers · Post by **Dusty Fingers** » Thu Feb 25, 2010 1:05 pm

at monday paracetamol "sucking"... universally considered one of the greatest tracks of all time and the tip of ambient instrumental... serious feel bad for anyone stupid enough to not be able to take that in
