deeper is my favorite beat ever
Thuggin though! And the second beat on Cateracts! Gawddamn Lib, why you do em like that?
the pinata and bandana instrumental albums are masterpieces in their own right
And Madvilliany Instrumentals
And Further Adventures of Lord Quaz Instrumentals
And Beat Konducta In India
And Dudley Perkins Instrumentals
And Blunted in the Bomb Shelter
And…Jaylib Champion Sound Instrumentals!
And…
Edit: seriously, this list could get SO long.
Mac Miller did one of the best Tiny Desk Concerts with Thundercat. So good.
I think Yelawolf is one of the most talented artists period and still going strong:
One of his latest tracks
Are there any solid hip hop ALBUMS from the last 10-15 years that people here would recommend?
I got both on vinyl! Love them.
Marco Polo
He also have a cool youtube channel where he deconstruct his beat and show some tips for beatmakers.

Two decent picks from recent history imho…
I’m not gonna get embroiled in the whole trap/mumble thing thing, my mum always said if you don’t have anything nice to say then don’t say anything at all
One of my favorite rappers of the past decade is Vince Staples. His whole discography is solid but especially the last few. They’re short albums, bordering on mini LPs but all great. Super witty.
SZA is also another favorite but she is probably closer to R&B.
Andre 3000 is definitely my favorite. Has he put out anything officially since The Love Below ?**
Well, he’s had plenty of one off guest verses but no, and he may never release another solo record that’s not a bunch of flute music or whatever, but even if he never raps again, he has done enough to earn a spot in my top 5.
