1	Q's Jook Joint (1995) more music like this by Quincy Jones add to wishlist The multi-talented Quincy Jones has excelled at idiomatic combinations in his albums since the '60s, when his mix-and-match soundtracks for television and films alerted everyone that he'd switched from a pure jazz mode to a populist trend. Q's Jook Joint blends the latest in hip-hop-flavored productions with sleek urban ballads, vintage standards, ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $11.54!
2	Do You Want More?!!!??! (1994) more music like this by The Roots add to wishlist Because the Roots were pioneering a new style during the early '90s, the band was forced to draw its own blueprints for its major-label debut album. It's not surprising then, that Do You Want More?!!!??! sounds more like a document of old-school hip-hop than contemporary rap. The album is based on loose grooves and laid-back improvisation, and ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $6.93!
3	The Love Movement (1998) more music like this by A Tribe Called Quest add to wishlist Continuing with the subdued, mature stylistic flow of Beats, Rhymes and Life, The Love Movement, the fifth album from A Tribe Called Quest, is the group's subtlest album yet -- which may just be a polite way for saying it's a little monotonous. Throughout the record, Tribe mines the same jazz-flavored, R&B-fueled beats that were the hallmark of ... see all copies from $2.49! new only from $8.06!
4	The Low End Theory (1991) more music like this by A Tribe Called Quest add to wishlist While most of the players in the jazz-rap movement never quite escaped the pasted-on qualities of their vintage samples, with The Low End Theory, A Tribe Called Quest created one of the closest and most brilliant fusions of jazz atmosphere and hip-hop attitude ever recorded. The rapping by Q-Tip and Phife Dawg could be the smoothest of any rap ... see all copies from $5.45! new only from $6.45!
5	Anthology (1999) more music like this by A Tribe Called Quest add to wishlist For those who haven't discovered that A Tribe Called Quest made several of the best LPs in hip-hop history, Anthology is a perfect way to encapsulate the trio's decade-long career into one manageable portion. All of their best and biggest songs are here, from the early neglected joint "Luck of Lucien" to classic jazz-rap from The Low End Theory ... see all copies from $3.50! new only from $3.50!
6	Mecca and the Soul Brother (1992) more music like this by Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth add to wishlist It would have been hard to match the artistic success of their debut EP on a full-length recording, but Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth did just that on Mecca and the Soul Brother, and they did so in the most unlikely way of all after the succinctness of All Souled Out -- by coming up with a sprawling, nearly 80-minute-long album on which not a single ... see all copies from $7.62! new only from $8.54!
7	93 'Til Infinity (1993) more music like this by Souls of Mischief add to wishlist One of hip-hop's great lost masterpieces, 93 'Til Infinity is the best single album to come out of Oakland's Hieroglyphics camp, and ranks as a seminal early classic of the West Coast underground. The Souls of Mischief weren't even out of their teens when they completely redefined the art of lyrical technique for the West Coast, along with fellow ... see all copies from $6.11! new only from $6.11!
8	The Remixes 1997-2000 (2000) more music like this by Jazzanova add to wishlist Berlin-based collective Jazzanova has set the standard for production in the electronic jazz world. And this double CD/five-record set is a testament to that. Spanning only three years, the group has assembled their entire remix output onto a disc that is utterly indispensable for those who appreciate their brand of innovative soul. The discs ... see all copies from $9.69!
9	Reachin' (A New Refutation of Time and Space) (1993) more music like this by Digable Planets add to wishlist Landing in 1993, Digable Planets' Reachin' (A New Refutation of Time and Space), settled in on the consciousness of a large cross section of listeners ranging from alt-rockers, metal freaks, and headz worldwide. A surprise hit with the press and the general populace alike, Reachin' was released at the most opportune time of the '90s. The so-called ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $8.16!
10	Done by the Forces of Nature (1989) more music like this by Jungle Brothers add to wishlist The follow-up to their groundbreaking debut, Done By the Forces of Nature is the point where the Jungle Brothers' production catches up to their musical ambition. There's still a ruddy, lo-fi edge to the record, but the samples are more abundant and intricately woven, and there's an altogether fuller sound that gives the group a greater presence. ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $6.43!
11	Hand on the Torch (1993) more music like this by Us3 add to wishlist Hip-hop/jazz fusionisters Us3 have forged the most elaborate union between the styles since the early days of Gang Starr and A Tribe Called Quest. Blue Note's vast catalog gives them a huge advantage over several similar groups in terms of source material, and classic sounds by Art Blakey, Horace Silver, and Herbie Hancock provide zest and fiber ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $11.06!
12	Jazzmatazz, Vol. 1 (1993) more music like this by Guru's Jazzmatazz add to wishlist Though it can reasonably be argued that rap grew almost directly out of funk and its particular beat, there are a lot of overlaps with jazz, particularly the bop and post-bop eras: the uninhibited expression, the depiction of urban life, just to name two. Jazz samples have also had a large role in hip-hop, but the idea of rapping over actual live ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $5.86!
13	Like Water for Chocolate (2000) more music like this by Common add to wishlist Common spent the '90s carrying the Native Tongues torch through an era dominated by gangsta rap, earning a sizable underground following. Positive-minded alternative rap came back into vogue by the new millennium, and Common managed to land with major label MCA for 2000's Like Water for Chocolate. The album established him as a leading figure of ... see all copies from $6.24! new only from $9.74!
14	Blowout Comb (1994) more music like this by Digable Planets add to wishlist Media darlings after the commercial success of their debut, Digable Planets attempted to prove their artistic merit with this second album, and succeeded wildly. A worthy, underrated successor, Blowout Comb was just as catchy and memorable as their first, and also offered the perfect response to critics and hip-hop fans who complained they weren't ... see all copies from $2.29! new only from $11.08!
15	Be (2005) more music like this by Common add to wishlist Electric Circus cost and won Common some fans. It was very exploratory, especially so for a rap album released in 2002, containing developments -- some of which soared, some of which sank -- that few longtime followers could have foreseen. Listeners either felt Common was picking up fresh, new inspirations, or that he was just being distracted by ... see all copies from $7.25! new only from $7.25!
16	People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm (1990) more music like this by A Tribe Called Quest add to wishlist One year after De la Soul re-drew the map for alternative rap, fellow Native Tongues brothers A Tribe Called Quest released their debut, the quiet beginning of a revolution in non-commercial hip-hop. People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm floated a few familiar hooks, but it wasn't a sampladelic record. Rappers Q-Tip and Phife Dawg ... see all copies from $6.34! new only from $8.08!
17	From the Corner to the Block (2007) more music like this by Galactic add to wishlist see all copies from $3.99! new only from $13.76!
18	Jazzmatazz, Vol. 2: The New Reality (1995) more music like this by Guru add to wishlist The follow-up to the heavily acclaimed Jazzmatazz, Vol. 1. This album might not have quite as much jazz-rap power as the first volume did, but it's still quite good. Some of the big guns of jazz found their way into the album, including Branford Marsalis (who, of course, had already experimented with urban beats a bit with his Buckshot Lefonque ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $4.16!
19	Phrenology (2002) more music like this by The Roots add to wishlist The easy-flowing Things Fall Apart made the Roots one of the most popular artists of alternative rap's second wave. Anticipated nearly as much as it was delayed, the proper studio follow-up, Phrenology, finally appeared in late 2002, after much perfectionist tinkering by the band -- so much that the liner notes include recording dates (covering a ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $11.82!
20	Electric Circus (2002) more music like this by Common add to wishlist Firmly out of the underground by the time Electric Circus came out in late 2002, Common takes the vision to the next level, employing high-profile producers ?uestlove, Dilla (Jay Dee), and the Neptunes. It's no surprise that the ?uestlove tracks push the most unclaimed territory. The Roots' Phrenology record, which appeared concurrent with ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $2.49!
21	Full Clip: A Decade of Gang Starr (1999) more music like this by Gang Starr add to wishlist Considering that the only previous hip-hop hits collection to stretch two full CDs came from 2Pac (and that only after his death), Gang Starr's Full Clip is a surprising release, though it's incredibly welcome. The duo of DJ Premier and Guru has been one of the longest continuous acts on the rap scene, beginning with 1989's No More Mr. Nice Guy ... see all copies from $4.28! new only from $18.82!
22	Reel to Reel (1992) more music like this by Grand Puba add to wishlist In a sense, Grand Puba really never was a genuine member of Brand Nubian. He was several years older than Lord Jamar and Sadat X, and had already recorded with the old-school crew Masters of Ceremony several years before finally hooking up with his younger mates. And even the mostly collective-minded One for All featured a couple Puba solo joints. ... see all copies from $1.99!
23	Game Theory (2006) more music like this by The Roots add to wishlist see all copies from $4.03! new only from $10.54!
24	Def Jazz (2005) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist The '90s and early to mid-2000s saw quite a few projects that claimed to be fusing hip-hop and jazz. Most of them ended up being more hip-hop than jazz, although saxophonist Bill Evans (as opposed to the late pianist) was an impressive exception. When Evans featured various rappers in the '90s, he maintained an improviser's mentality and used MCs ... see all copies from $7.00! new only from $14.50!
25	Jazzmatazz, Vol. 4: The Hip Hop Jazz Messenger: Back to the Future (2007) more music like this by Guru's Jazzmatazz add to wishlist Although Guru's been putting out new editions in his Jazzmatazz series for almost 15 years now, none of the releases has gotten quite the same amount of acclaim as 1993's Vol. 1, which was one of the first examples, and certainly the best, of how actual live jazz could be used and mixed with hip-hop. He collected a wide selection of players and ... see all copies from $4.44! new only from $12.51!
