Alright, time for some more, both with download links.
I'm definitely a sucker for J Dilla tribute mixes, and they've been a dime a dozen lately, though I feel this next one stands out from the pack.
DJ Nu-Mark is a name you should already know from his work with Jurassic 5 and his dope live shows (i.e. search Youtube for his "Toy Set").
Here he is with a short J Dilla Tribute, packed with classics, along with some of the lesser known beats/collabs:

Next up, a more comprehensive mix still focusing on one man, but a God among emcees, Rakim.
Dj Hedspin does a great job on this one, and his bio is probably the funniest I've read on Soundcloud, so it's worth clicking on his name just to read the life story of a self-aware Filipino in Canada.
I've said it on this forum before, when the debate comes up regarding the top 5 or top 10 rappers of all time, if your list is missing Nas and Rakim, you're missing out:
