eye love instrumentals eye can sit back and tune out with them............ especially with all the basura lyrics out there these days

i agree with this spanish monkey, rap lyrics for the most part ruin some beats especially if there is good effort put into making those instrumentals. take "pause 4 porno" of chronic 2001 for example, its the only skippable thing on the album but the instrumental is one of the most chilled out introspective beats ive ever heard....so i fuck with instrumentals all the time

you a funny ass gringo............

Beats gotta be REAL tight for me to listen to them like that, but alotta times I need words on the tracks to use the backgorund music. The vocals, weak or strong, add to the song.

I dunno, to me most hiphop songs lack a pretty fundamental apect when there are no vocals, unless it's some very creative and rather elaborate stuff. But when I wanna listen to instrumental music, I'm not gonna go with hiphop.

Miles Davis, Mogwai, Frank Zappa, John Coltrane, Squarepusher, Ventian Snares, John Zorn................I could come up with a nice list of artists who make/made crazy ass non-vocal sound, but hiphop usually won't do it for me when no one raps, unless it's like a B-Boyish soundtrack to something

Matter of fact Where is that "Bitches Brew" Album @
