I am using underground and mainstream hip hop (and, to a lesser extent, r&b) instrumentals for my game's music. It's freaking awesome.

Anyway, while I have a pretty good library already, I am eager to find more instrumentals. Since I'm not using entire songs (this would be redundant and obviously inflates file size) , I cut the "essentials" of a song and loop them. With that in mind, having an instrumental is not imperative. I have also been cutting instrumental breaks from songs with vocals and looping those.

Any suggestions you can provide are appreciated. Anything Persian-sounding is given preference. I am trying to stay away from songs that were big mainstream hits in the past 15 years.

I'm just looking for awesome "beatz". Fast or slow tempo both good.

OK, this seems more suited to Music. I'll move it there, hopefully someone will be able to give you some nice recommendations!

Oh, no I'll be using mp3s.
Thanks for the suggestion, I will check it out.

Usually you can just google the instrumental you want. I have Notorious BIG instrumentals but that's about it.

Deltron 3030 released an instrumental version of their album so I'd definitely check that out as it's one of the coolest sounding hip-hop albums.

Fantastic suggestion. I've just downloaded the album and it's just gr8 for what I need.



And nope, I can't be more specific. XD Not looking for 90s stuff in particular. Pretty much anything hip hop or r&b that sounds... cool. The world is my oyster.

I found a torrent for 768 megs worth of hip hop instrumentals so I should actually be set. Would still love to hear recommendations, like your favourite hip hop beats, though.
