The Beat Generation




In the early 2000's, the UK's BBE records released a series of albums for some of the greatest producers ever. In the words of Pete Rock, "The Concept of the Beat Generation is based on artistic freedom. Major labels wouldn't appreciate the artistic freedom like BBE." Anyway, here are the albums:




This is my favorite instrumental album ever. A masterpiece from the #1 Soul Brother.

This has got a few instrumentals but mostly MC tracks including appearences from Grap Luva, Larry-O, Big Daddy Kane, and a lot of piff pocketers. Just some nice tracks by the god.

I liked Dilla but never really felt this album to be honest. If you liked Donuts or The Shining though I'd recommend this.

More R&B than the "Return..." but there's some good stuff on here.
