This is the kind of song that demand respect. It's poignant, intelligent and funky. Many hip-hop producers have attempted to clone dillas inimitable style but no one has successfully pulled it off. 9th wonder, Flying Lotus, Madlib and others are talented producers but dilla is sui generis. His work is fire.
just imagine how good he would be now... he was only 32 when he passed. I can't even comprehend. Makes me sad, but then i listen to some dilla and i'm fine again
@Tom Misch Yay Tom Misch!!!! Yeah, Dilla is so Dope! And Im thrilled u enjoy him too! We love you in Detroit Tom, and Alfa Mist annnnd Yussef Dayes too...LOVE U! We love u more than Kid Rock and Rockwell put together!! But not more than Stevie Wonder (srry), but ur still the best in town for miles around! ~hugs and Luv from Michigan (USA)
J Dilla' s beats move me, and that's an understatement...cant stop listening/writing to them & just found this one the other day, OMG I'm hooked on this one now for a minute..rest easy J, been keeping ur vibe alive tho with ur beats on repeat lol. Much love & respect-goldylox
Stylistically so much more than that though. His progression past this style. The same producer who did Lightworks, and Nothing Like This, and Raw Shit, and Reckless Driving, and Think Twice, and Stakes Is High. Honestly insane
His love is bittersweet and yet I 'm addicted to it and if you are here my love and if you're here everything will be worth it this time not far from my bank, you are the boat I need to get across the sea to get to find your love, this time I will not fail..
Life is bittersweet I liter streets with grimy crimes Addicted to cocaine buying tiny dimes When I used to, buy bags ten times bigger When the powder evaporates, only then time figures To my head to be realistic, I'm mystic The gravy train passed by and I missed it, which bitch Going to break my heart now Let me know ahead of time so I can lay the bars down For the sad verse I'm a dedicate to her Problems from my homies wish I could relegate fewer Newer, ways I graze these niggas with the unwanted truth Who am I gonna dedicate this ghetto sonnet to I'm balling Oh I'm sorry I meant I'm falling Crawling to my calling cuz I'm barely making it Money I'm rarely saving it I'm crazy, but I at least have the decency to accept it Real love I have the frequency to reject it I'm hectic, who want to fuck with the street demon I'm in the street fiending, bitches from my house leave steaming I'm deceiving And I just did it again so thank you for reading
Love JDilla for frigging ever that’s facts. I always say it that only certain people can hear what’s really going on. This is very dope too. Weeeeeeee all know what his best beat ever was. This beat is very nice though.
Negus Imperial You have to remember, those beats were a combo of him and Q-Tip together, and sometimes Saadiq. Stand alone, he never really lost that style. I would say he just added some ish here and there.
im talking about all the beats he made up until the 'Welcome To Detroit" album, most of those if not all he made by him self its just that him, q tip and ali made similar kind of beats at that time hence the formation of the production team 'ummah'. if you listen to all the delicious vinyl days when he made beats for pharcyde,a remix for brand new heavies and all the beats on yancy boys album plus the fantastic vol. 1 and 2 up until that point he kept it simple but they were still dope ass beats. once MCA records merged which shelved the diary album he moved to cali went back to the basics and start chopping beats which changed how everybody chop records now, made a classic and blueprint in 'Donuts' and jaylib in my book he switched it up about 3 or 4 times cause people was biting his style respectfully and stayed above the rest while doing it. come to think of it he also re-revolutionized soul music with the neo soul movement so dude is beyond the greatest hip hop producer in my eyes. you right though they did do some of those together but most was done by just him that were actually produced by him and q-tip said that he made a mistake by just putting ummah on the credits instead of names cause people keep getting it mixed up about who beats were who's like when it was dilla they said q-tip or when it was q-tips they said it was dilla. so the guy was great and thanks for the reply fam, have a great holiday and don't lose that ear for great music
True. And actually Dilla and Tip had disagreements over the production credits on their songs. Dilla produced most of those songs with probably a few critiques and opinions by Tip. Tip put 'Ummah' on the credits while Dilla thought it should've been him.
Honestly, that is my least favorite version of Dilla. I really dig where he was headed like Welcome to Detroit, and Donuts. I think after Dilla moved to LA he really started to evolve more than ever.
Dilla & Primo have 2 different styles. . Dilla is more soul and melodic with crackling drums. . Primo is a more gritty sampler with booming drums. . Dilla > Primo in my opinion thoe. . Personal preference
AaronMac Productions To me, I grew up more on Primo but then again Primo worked with most of the dope rappers back in the 90s... Dilla's Jay Dee era of beats especially with the Ummah were biblical to me. He made me give a fuck about ATCQ. Its just on vibes and personal preference tho like you said
