    Ordinary Joel Happiness begins when selfishness ends

    The Champloo soundtracks were released by Victor Entertainment.

    And one of my favourite beats of all time is Reflection Eternal. That s--- speaks to me like no other beat, just beautiful in my eyes (or ears rather)

    Rhymesayers Ent. anyone? Evidence is there now, Atmosphere is dope (even though the last one was sort of ehh), Grieves and more dope stuff.

    Been thinking of getting to know mello music group for a minute now, but haven't gotten to yet.

    TDE is a obvious choice for anything more "mainstream".

    EDIT: Then there's also Duck Down with Pharaohe.

    Open Mike Eagle - Dark Comedy
    Open Mike Eagle - A Special Episode of [EP]

    L'Orange - Old Soul
    L'Orange - The Mad Writer

    OME is a great rapper, very vivid just great imo. L'Orange is a producer who loves to sample old noir films with a bit of soul and just sounds cinematic, he has like 7-8 projects, but those two are his best work in my opinion.

    I did say it could be past or present, so I'm guessing he's talking about the good ol' days of Shady.
