Best Hip Hop instrumentalist hands down. He did the music for Samurai Champloo, and he has 2 of his own albums out right now.
My favorite song from Metaphorical Music:

Other than 9th wonder? Alchemist? Madlib? J Dilla?

I've heard 9th wonder and J Dilla and I think Nujabes tops them. He brings a sound that's based more on musical theory, which is rare in hip hop and makes him stand out more than them.

what a beautiful song.

In fact, this top's every artist I've listened to.

two more great ones. You really get to listen to his true style when there is no rapper IMO

Yeah I'm bumping this thread but I only want to say that Nujabes/Jun Seba died in a car accident back in Febuary 2010, it's not really recent news but I thought I should put it out there.


RIP Nujabes
