Chris Blanco on my life I feel you bro!!!!!! The best to ever do it!!!! I swear that I was the biggest Dillahead, until I saw comments like this one to be exact bro. He lives through his music, I believe that's why people such as you (and me) get emotional when we hear his work. He was a walking Jewel. My beat Ancestor, Rest in Beats James DeWitt Yancey AKA Jay Dee AKA Dilla Dawg!!!! #Respect,#ASE'
M Haynes. I tear up listening to this old stuff man. Donuts hits me hard too man. I always love to see a comment like you guys are putting down. It gets me in that reminiscent mood. I was 18 , maybe 17 the 1st time I realized who dilla was. It was a track off of a funk master mix tape lol, called welcome to the d, or maybe it was just called the d I honestly dont remember. It had q tip and phife on it and I was floored man. Like who is this j dilla guy talking about the d with atcq. They plugged in sv in the song as well which led me on a hunt to find out who slum village was. I found fantastic vol 2 and the rest is history man. Rest in beats Dilla.
J Dilla really did something with this sample flip. The scratches and kick-rolls/pitch up's. Beat perfection. Learned not to expect any less from the main man.
YES! Back in da 90s in Detroit WJLB RAP BLAST BILLY T AND TJ THE TROUBLESOME JUVENILE would play this in the background. Should've been on rotation to showcase their artists on the program.
Dope Dilla face sticker on my back windshield rollin' around Detroit showing respect like I'm spose to. Dilla will always Detroit's Finest! Rest In Beats
