Should all artist have instrumental cd option? There are several artist that I would pay money for to get just the instrumental version of their cd. I think this should be the wave of the future.
Option 1: regular cd option 2: instrumental only Option 3: both new revenue stream..... | |

Other than Doctor Dre, who? Yeah Chronic 2 seemed to set off the trend in the mainstream record stores but check it. All of these have full instrumental albums available: Aceyalone & RJD2 - Magnificent City Alchemist - 1st Infantry AZ - A.W.O.L. Version 1.5 Beastie Boys - Hello Nasty Common - Be (I saw this on official vinyl) Dr. Octagon - Dr. Octagonecologyst Handsome Boy Modeling School - White People Gang Starr - The Ownerz Quasimoto - The Unseen Who else? MF Doom has been releasing damn near every beat he ever had, way back to the KMD days. Let's see... I have a CD of Boogie Down Productions Criminal Minded with the instrumentals on the end of it. And I mean, there's more than just those. | |

I should mention, with the exception of Common's Be, all those instrumental albums are available on the CD format. | |

That would be great, but probably wont happen on a wide scale! "Man, the living creature, the creating individual, is always more important than any established style or system" - Bruce Lee | |

The trend is definitely on the uprise though, but I wouldn't expect to see this in any other genres besides rap. | |

They release remix albums compiled of previously released (DJ vinyl) remixes. This would be the same thing. You know that AZ AWOL instrumental CD includes the acapellas separately too!  | |
