I don't understand why I was negarepped for this post, but, to elaborate, I prefer more instrumental hip-hop (like Blockhead) to hip-hop with words. That is just my opinion, I don't really think it is an unfair one.

Yeah E, Dilla is my favorite producer. The album Donuts was made with an MPC on the hospital bed. One of the best instrumental hip-hop albums (the best imo) of all time. You can just hear him putting his life into the album.. lots of emotion in it. He was struggling with Lupus since 03 or 04 and passed Feb 10 (today) in 2006.

here's some more info:

This album was a major breakthrough for this underground artist, in which his unique style could be shown and many see as having subtle meanings in many of its tracks and their names (for example, the titling of "Don't Cry" and "Bye" in light of Dilla's passing afterwards). On Metacritic, Donuts received "universal acclaim" from critics based on an aggregate score of 84/100 from fifteen reviews.[1]

If you like instrumental hip hop, check out music by Nujabes, you might like it.

+rep for knowing about Nujabes. Excellent music and Mr. E I think you would like it.

edit: looks like I need to spread out the rep.
