I agree. I refrained from posting here because of that. It seems like most people are just dropping tracks with no discussion whatsoever.

Here's a dope track by lootpack and dilated peoples.

Long Awaited

Well first off, The Champion Sound was half-produced by J Dilla, another really great hip-hop producer. Donuts is the album to cop if you just want beats, go with Jay Stay Paid if you want [mostly Detroit] MCs rapping over his beats.

I'm a huge Madlib fan. All the albums you listed have rapping over them, so if you're looking for the same then really you just have the Lootpack, which I'm not a big fan of but you might like them. Madlib isn't a big fan of writing lyrics anyway.

As for his instrumental albums:

Beat Konducta Vol. 5-6 is best. The album is dedicated to and inspired by the aforementioned J Dilla. After he died, Madlib made this for him. Nuff said, you know it's gotta be dope. This is part of his Beat Konducta Series, the one right before it is good too, Vol. 3-4 Beat Konducta in India.

Medicine Show #4: 420 Chalice All-Stars. By the looks of your username, you might be a reggae fan (or a Massive Attack ft Mos Def fan!). If so, check out this one out of the series. Each Medicine Show has a different 'flavor'. There's a disco/soul one, there's a jazz one, there's a Brazilian funk one, and my personal favorite is the psychedelic freak-out Krautrock one. Note that these are more sample-based DJ-mixes rather than beat tapes like the Beat Konducta series.

Shades of Blue. If you like jazzy hip-hop, no one does it better than Madlib the Bad Kid. For this album, he goes back into the Blue Note Records vault and does what he does best, samples the best parts. It's really laid back and perfect for blazing a fatty to. One more for dat ass.

I'd also like to shout out Mind Fusion Vol. 2, which is a really good mix of 60s jazz, Brazilian funk; its not the most accessible album, imo. But if you like what you've heard so far then give it a shot. You might be pleasantly surprised.

gonna throw a random tune out here because i've been giving this a lot of play again lately...

DJ Cinema DJ Mello - NY State of Mind - 2pac, Nas & Jay-Z mashup

dunno where I left the rest of this mixtape but it was all fire. this came out a few years back (circa Fishscale) when there were a lot of amazing mixtapes coming out one after the other. that's around when wu-tang meets the indie culture came out too, first wu-tang anything that i really fell in love with. that was the first time i heard of bronze nazareth from out of rock city, he did most of the production and even spit a verse or two and it just felt like he was painting a canvas in my mind it was so deep. but my words don't do it justice, here's one more tune for posterity

bronze nazareth, solomon childs & byata - street corners
