The lack of attention to this thread is somewhat depressing. Yet, it is somewhat expected, seeing as instrumental hip-hop and its neighboring families (commonly trip-hop), is a somewhat uncommon trend.
It's no large matter to me. I will continue this thread until instrumental hip-hop is an absolute cryptic style of music. It is more for myself than it is for anyone that I know, as an archive for lesser gems that have yet to be publicized by larger audiences.
More than anything, I truly feel an empathy for people who put time and thought into their compositions, and then fail to be acknowledged by anyone who care to pay them a penny for their time. This is how mainstream bullshit (like... uh... Beiber) comes to existence. No one with the necessary commercial resources is available to advertise their work. And so, they sell out to the most popular of the majority-enthused art.
THIS... This, ladies and gentlemen, is how a true artist of music become a shade of yellow, becomes a shade of grey, becomes a shade of normality. They cave in to the publicly accepted normality. They become normal, in a sense. They become unimaginative. They become sell-out.
They do this because... Money. They do this so they can afford food, and water, the ability to live without your help.
