hi

lately ive been interested in this kind of music but ive kind of disregarded it for many years so i am a total noob at finding new artists

i like artists like: a tribe called quest, public enemy, fat jon, immortal technique etc.

im mainly looking for mellow, instrumental groups with some funk/swing. some critera im looking for is:

-real sounding percussion (i guess like on some of the Tribe albums)

-some sort of melody, phrase or vamp. preferably vamp because thats what im into atm, in the vein of some funk guys like george clinton or herbie. the more funky the vamp, the better, real or synthesized sound im not into just the bass and rapping alone

-mellow, non abrasive tones

i dont mind something different to this, but this is kinda what i like atm. feel free to recommend completely different artists.

note: like i said im a total noob so im not sure if this is considered hip hop or not.

thanks

Oh, that sucks

There have been some other threads about this, probably worth having a quick search too.
