Thanks for the props. I do wonder, though, how this blog popped up on a “brand nubian sample” search.

Anyhoo, I haven’t really been on the hunt for acappellas, so I can’t direct you to a lot of places. Full albums I own as acappellas are J-Live’s “The Hear After,” Jay-Z’s “American Gangster,” El-P’s “I’ll Sleep When You’re Dead,” and a few single tracks from various artists. The El-P joint is already uploaded here.

“Acapella Archives” is a nice blog for both acappellas and instrumentals…

And my boys over at “Strictly Beats” have some great instrumentals…

“Old Skool Rap Hip Hop” has some of that classic shit, though not too many acappellas…

Discogs is good for finding out if an acappella version even exists. But they are pretty slow sometimes. “American Gangster” is still not listed as acappella…

You can of course always use search engines. Type the artist’s name, the album or song title, the words “acappella” (try different spellings) and “rapidshare” and hit the search button.

And if all methods fail, you can always make your own acappellas from the regular tracks. Don’t ask me how this is done cuz I have no clue. But there are people out there who make their own instrumentals and acappellas from the songs’ album versions. Search around a bit for methods if this is an option.

Peace!

hope all’s going well my man.
