Nujabes / Hip-Hop Jazz

Who here is cool enough that they know Nujabes? He's good.

Also on that topic, does anyone know of other good jazzy hip hop like him? I'm always looking for more, it's a rare genre.

I love Nujabes. I own all of his albums also. My favorite would have to be Luv sic part 1,2, and 3. If you like Nujabes, you guys should also listen to DJ Okawari.
I first found out about Nujabes through Samurai Champloo. It was probably one of the best anime out there. I highly reccomend it.

Haha dude who cares? Aruarian Dances : one of my favorite Nujabes songs and probably my favorite instrumental song, or at least top 5.

Just be sure to check out his other stuff!

[quote=superpoop]psh the only reason he became popular because he died. shows how much the world knows about real hip hop, im guessing your part of those bandwagoners.[/quote]

What's your problem man? Actually I found out about him 6 months before he died. But either way, why is it bad if he 'became popular' - which he didn't really, he got a little more attention but really, he's still the essence of 'underground' at least in America.

Either way though, why would it be bad for such beautiful soulful music reach out to more people? You sound angry and bitter.

Agreed with everyone in this thread!

@SekciiMage
Yeah - I put on my iPod to Nujabes as well before I go to bed.

@Taotapp
Pretty much he inspires me. At least now, he can rest in beats.
