2011 Mid-Year Mechies: Best Instrumental Hip Hop Albums

There were a handful of instrumental albums that I was pretty high on when I first heard them, but I cooled down on them as time passed. The only one that's maintained its position as a great album is Villains Gone Bad III.

2. Ayatollah - Fingertips


3. J.Rocc - Some Cold Rock Stuf
