J Dilla made his MPC3000 musical.

There's a halo of reverence around J Dilla, a producer and beatmaker from Detroit who made some of the most fascinating and influential beats in hip hop history. Before his early death in 2006, J Dilla worked with countless artists and producers - from Erykah Badu and Janet Jackson to Busta Rhymes and Madlib - and developed an off-kilter style of rhythm and sampling that transcended the machine he used to create music, the Akai Midi Production Center, otherwise known as the MPC.

That’s the thought I had listening to Mingus’ Black Saint... Wait? You can create jazz without boring, abstract, go nowhere solos? (Why are Miles Davis and Coltrane so beloved? Their music is boring) To me he’s better than Ives, Copland, Glass, Gershwin, et. al because he did what they did better than them, plus could incorporate the entire history of his people without a word being said.

@@angellexington280 Because this edits requires knowledge of musical theory , which is a skillset not every editor possesses , on top of that there are lots and lots of custom-made illustrations that have been made specifically for the video which takes time . Not to mention the smoothing on every single element of the video , nothing comes in or out of frame harshly , every thing is smoothed over and that also takes time. Finally the color palette is selectively chosen to match the overall VOX aesthetic and the rest of the videos in this series , it's the little details like that that add minutes of extra work to every step of the process , resulting in a 10 min video that probably took 30-40 hours of work just to edit . And that's just the visuals , don't even get me started on the sound design , so yeah , whoever made this edit is really really good .

The person who guides us through the topic is also good at explaining and help the viewer understand everything in its own context. Very nice.

@Slapsauce
@Slapsauce 4 года назад
The humanization of machinery is an essential component of the hip-hop aesthetic. From the moment Grandmaster DXT first touched his hand to a vinyl record to stop the music, hip-hop culture has been defined by the ways in which people struck out against the tyranny of the recorded sound. J Dilla’s was just the latest in a series of innovations that put human intervention at the forefront
@jasonhuttermusic424
@jasonhuttermusic424 5 месяцев назад
I think its the unique and creative ways that hip hop artist used the machinery. Whoever wouldve thought of scratching records, stopping them, lining them up to get the break beat? And of course the democratization of machines like drum machine and samplers that allowed poor unsigned artist to create their own music.

6:19 patience, probably. But Dilla was known to make ridiculous beats in literally 10 minutes, no exaggeration. Jd must've been some kind of alien lmfao. Also people should know that Donuts, the album referenced in this video many times, was made entirely in his hospital bed while he was experiencing the worst of his lupus. Every track actually has multiple hidden messages and references to death and what he was feeling and what he wanted to tell his family/friends. It's beyond a masterpiece

From 8:32 onward you can hear an even more interesting thing Dilla did with the quantizer, which was to actually apply it in odd ratios, creating quintuplet(60%) or septuplet(57%) swing grooves that would evoke a drunken or limping feel. This was and still is a very novel sound, distinct from that of traditional swing which generally "lays back" the first half of a beat further to 66~77% in sub-150bpm tempos. A lot of recent jazz drummers who have mastered this very difficult-to-play groove are doing fascinating things with the whole idea.

It definitely sounds better. Not just with drums, but with sample chops, too. It’s impossible to chop music and quantize it (and for it to sound good) unless they were tight and used a metronome. You either don’t chop it to percussion and then do quantize so that it swings or chop it to percussion and turn off quantize. Otherwise it sounds off.

If you like this, check out "Lightworks" by J Dilla. The original sample is from Raymond Scott (using the same title). Dilla flips it so "Light up the skies" and "his heart does flips" becomes "light up the spliffs." I thought that was cool. There are a ton of videos by Verysickbeats on RU-vid called "Techniques inspired by Dilla" that's really good, too. First video shows how Dilla would flip a 6/8 beat into 4/4. Also a documentary on Netflix called Hip Hop Evolution that shows where that sort of inventiveness came from. Also, that album Donuts by Dilla that they mentioned? Dude made that while dying of lupus in a hospital bed, using this calculator-looking monstrosity called the Roland SP-404. Sorry, I'm a huge nerd with this stuff, but it just gets more and more interesting as you dig in.

The way J Dilla would turn off quantizer reminds me of Jaco Pastorius' fretless bass.

From the perspective of a classically trained string musician who is now investing time and money in music production. That outro segment to the video at 9:06 just validated all of the ideas I've been having in my head surrounding my own digital music equipment. Absolutely one of the best Vox vids I've seen. Second to The Most Feared Jazz Song In History.
