Hip hop instrumentals

[rdej47]

Hey guys there's a local coffee shop in town that's having a talent/open mic night. I thought it would be a good opportunity to showcase some turntable skills. My vision is to just play some nice downtempo hip hop instrumentals. I'm not sure how many people here listen to hip hop but I was looking for some recommendations. I was thinking along the lines of this

ghettoboys-my minds playing tricks on me
ghettoboys-damn it feels good to be a gangsta

both are downtempo hip hop with mad flow, there is instrumental versions of both songs also

Oh man... Dilated Peoples, Evidence, Lyrics Born, Swollen Members, Roots, Immortal Technique, DJ Shadow, Cut Chemist, Jurassic 5, Madlib, Murs the possibilities are endless!

For some folks that are great, yet a little more obscure that a lot of people may not have heard, look up Beef Wellington, Maker, Swamburger, Rocwell, S.K.I.P., Sole, and Glue has some good ones too...
