Have you listened to any J Dilla?

Dilla produced a bunch of Tribe stuff which might help you get into his stuff.

He was 100% about music, no time for gangster stuff. I don't say that it's all easy going tribe style but it's not commercial manipulation of image like lots of the more boastful tough act hip hop stuff.

Slum Village, Fantastic was the his first album.

Donuts is probably his most well know but it's all instrumental.

I like the album "Ruff Draft" but I can't find a full album version on you tube.

I like a bunch of other stuff in this vein but Dilla is really the my favorite.
