Write about the crossover between instrumental hip hop (a la RJD2, DJ Shadow and some of the new trip-hop) and usable beats. One of the best examples I can come up with is Fantastic Damage, which functions really well (and was released as) both a rap album and an instrumental album.

What does it take to make a beat interesting enough to work without a rapper but still functional for one?
