Yeah, I've neglected Nujabes myself for quite some time. I should come back around to trying him out.

All the 3 are equally my favourites, but I like so many hip hop albums that its difficult to decide on a single favourite album. Thats why I have more than one favourite hip hop album. The Ice cube albums arent my only favourite hip hop albums though. I could also say The Chronic by Dr Dre is a favourite too, but like I said its difficult for me to decide.

WooEEE

Depends on if you are talking about rap or hip-hop instrumentals.

Instrumentals

J-Dilla - Donuts
Thes One - Live at the Roots Showdown
Presto - Inflight Instrumentals
Gramatik - Street Bangerz
Damu the Fudgemunk - How It Should Sound
Peanut Butter Wolf - Breakbeats

it is really hard to decide which one is best

Rap

Little Brother - Chittlin Circuit 1.5
De la Soul - Three Feet High and Rising
People under the stairs - OST
Jazz Liberatorz - Clin D'Oeil
Fugees - The Score
Aesop Rock - None Shall Pass
Living Legends - Almost Famous

really hard to decide.

I never knew that instrumental hip hop exists. Sounds boring though. I mean, correct me if Im wrong but I thought rapping is what defines the hip hop genre.

Madvillainy by Madvillain and Duality by Captain Murphy are pretty nice

Nah, it's not the only thing that defines hip hop. And instrumental hip hop can be great. Here are a couple examples:

Definitely not my style. I listen to hip hop mainly because of the rapping. If I wanted to listen to instrumental music I'd go with psytrance, which is a mostly instrumental genre. If you've heard Infected Mushroom before, you'd know what Im talking about.

Rihana - Diamonds
