Hey,There are some rap artists I've bought over the years primarily for the beats. I was curious which artists you'd like better if the vocals were erased from the LP/CD. For me it would be:-Lords of the Underground (never liked them as MCs).-Souls of Mischief (they wear on me after a while, voices/styles-related).-The Pharcyde (to an extent, especially Imani).-Artifacts (a little, I never liked them as MCs, but the beats 
).-Group Home (at least, erase Malachi's vocals).-The Beastie Boys (from "Ill Communication" onward their vocals became filler).-Originoo Gun Clappaz (O.G.C.; I only liked Starang Wondah as an MC).Peace,Big Stacks from Kakalak

I wish these dudes had instramental versions of The Platform and Expansion Team.
Sometimes they tend to babble a bit when it comes to the mic.
Gifted Unlimited Rhymes Universal?
missy
fat joe
and i think i'll take it there and say...
gangstarr
a.t.c.q.
pete rock & cl smooth
side note: it's not wack by any means, but i wish there was an instrumental version of scarface's "the untouchable"
Better as Instrumentals or would like to have an Instrumental version?
better as instrumentals. sorry.
BAN.
yeah wtf? Id say pretty much any rapper ever signed with timbaland.
i don't think i've ever heard anyone complain about Q-Tip or CL. ATCQ and Pete & CL are two groups i compare other MCs too. they're up on a pedestal in my mind. what MCs are you into then?

Listen to cats and rough rats war under the window
When the ghetto forts flarey, never was a tom and jerry
Livin aint cheap, my survival is deep
In this part of town where the city never sleep
A barney miller roller, you can bet the cars stolen
Or static with your bm, only when you see them
Speakin on your babys mom, a best for the drama
Always tryin to make a movie, little stark-ravin looney
Stressin it, but you know the ghetto keep ya busy
A place that when I die it would never even miss me
Crack phials in the aisles as one pimp smiles
Dope piles workin hookers by the miles
But still my pops got three jobs to stable
A family household and food on the table
So as we pray for all our souls to keep
Somebodys on the project roof, ready to leap
I want to stop the pain or the bad situation
But backwards wisdom I cant afford to give em
Self savior is much braver with the conscious behavior
Designed in the ghettos of the mind[/b]
or
Here comes the rugged one, plus the way I flip it
I collect the loot and then I knock the boots
A smooth dark lover, prefer to be called the chocolate lover
cause I can do wonders under cover
Im dip-dip-dope, I rhyme like riz-ope
I cleanse like soap, cause its the great black hope
Stay away from the penile, I can rock the senile
Hons alway wave cause Im slick like lunile
Pete rock on the boot knock, on the boot knock
Plus the way that I flow...blood clot
Yo, my styles cock-diesel and I can do the hustle
Niggaz know the time, I dont have to flex a muscle
Im not the type to fake it, I wouldnt try to take it
Tie your girl to the back of my jeep butt-naked
Slide her monkey ass down the hill
So if you dont want beef, money, chill for petes sake[/b]
I just sit down and get, me a spliff
With mines I was born, a child of the corn
Molecules of the land they uplift
Levels is straight, in fact they're rectified
Adrenaline now is crazy multiplied
Four and four is eight, the fraction makes the plate
I make sure the Tribe is innnnnnnn..
With the quickness you bare the witness
Flexin and pumpin with the fitness
Movin it - UHH, doin it - UHH
Those who oppose must hit the ??s-list??
Doin it and doin it with the whole frame
Look what's in the mind and not, in the brain
On this you can quote, we on a diffy note
Quest for the future, 'stead of the fame
One ninety-one brothers grabbin they thingies
Forgot the name; oh, equivalent to Jimmy
Slip a little bit, you think I have to quit
Ali Shaheed Muhammad, with the singy-singy
Slammin with a slammy you front, on the case
Right or left nut Ali, plays the ace
Do what you do, flam for a crew
Bonita Applebum blows smoke in Sha's face
Slang for the ?? I must, if ya have
Dribble hops out giggle yo proper term is laugh
Brothers who are snakes, I label them as fakes
Instincts to Travel up the hood path, c'mon[/b]
i don't know. tip or phife never really impressed me as rappers.
as for cl, back in the day he was alright. but now i just can't stand the styles he flipped. that goes for the majority of rappers who flipped the same style in the early 90's. and after hearing soul survivor, i thought that p.r. is the better rapper of the two.
anyways, this is just one man's opinion.
while i'm at it i might as well add stunts blunts & hip hop
Get outta my head, mane!!! Naw, seriously, what artists would you enjoy more if their CDs had no vocals?

So u reach fot the dub version of this album over the vocal version?
Day three...
I wake up after 8, a shower, then I take a shower
See a tip from last night still left in the tray
Some stick of boom music cause I found a fat L
Nine times out of ten I used to start this way
Then I study jewels and gems instead of Christianity hymns
Then walk past him to see my man Marco Polo who works in sports stuff
Your two shirts that's tough, a baldie that's rough
Call up the Gods, slide to three main places
We know a lot of faces so the romp game came work
Do you think that I'm a jerk because on my face there's a smirk?
Used to party to party rock from body to body
But my nightly smokes are spent on the cool down low
Rolling up dough and doing mad shows
Not dealing with hoes because AIDS is a bitch
In the nightime I get rich because kids pump the tape
Uptown Bronx from the porch to the fire escape, and you don't stop
So to my prehistoric days and dinosaur phase
I was completely energized using Islamic rays
I'm the royal highness, so clear your sinus
Put your trust in the plus and conceal the minus
Your head's unravelling, my force is of a javelin
Your tounge is in a knot and you're babbling on
To the pre test is the God human?
Come from the darkness to where I'm looming
The hardest working man, ever I see a land
I got the power to devour what MC's withstan [/b]
im happy the jaylib lp got released as instrumentals a few weeks after the first album dropped on vinyl. i like mad and dilla as artists, but the rhyming on that album is
wow, first time i heard that as well.
U have the right to your opinion.......................
^^^^ Lupe Fiasco Revealed!!!1
well, now that i think about it they werent IDENTICAL, but similar enough....my thread was gonna be "what rap albums would hold up as instrumentals"...which i think theres even less good answers too....
Case solved!
[color:red]Did you mean: [color:blue]instrumental
that feels like a punch in the gut .....
There's is one group that I have always respected Highly when it comes to the beats is People under the stairs.... I would love to get a hold of all their instrumentals. Sorry guys , I know you're on this forum but I just couldn't not mention your beats.... I'm still waiting on part 2 of the stepfather insrumentals...
ooops yes. Thanks
