Just wondering what is out there besides the “money, ho’s, Bentleys” stuff that dominates popular hip hop.

//edit: one could consider “trip-hop” as the idm-evolution of hip-hop. and especially autechre have often referred to hip-hop as one of their main sources of inspiration for song-structures

My late 90’s early 00’s listening would be mostly Mo Wax, Ninjatune, Wall of Sound - typical trip hop labels from back when not really familiar with today’s purveyors of the down tempo

Madvillainy record for the win, and most of the instrumentals by Madlib. And non-instrumentals too, like Quasimoto. And the other half of Madvillain, MF Doom, has some things up there with Autechre’s time warping “Fold4, Wrap5” in “Tick, Tick”.
And the Czechs give us groups like Kyklos Galaktikos who are just awesome.

Not sure what you are looking for exactly but the closest thing I can think of is Flylo (Brainfeeder stuff) or guys like Daedalus in some of his stuff.
This Documentary might be something you want to check out if you dig Flylo.

Not typical Funckarma, but dope nonetheless.
