Why the Roots is still the best live show I got to see. That fucking sound. That combo of slick drums and perfect key playing mixed with flawless bass playing is still in my soul 15+ years later
This is the type of beat you don't think is that spectacular at first then gradually grows on you and next thing you know you're humming it in your head all day.
River Feinx or its like the beat that you download by accident when your downloading something else and you just leave it in your library and then like months later you see it and you play it out of curiosity and you realize it's lit af
TRIPLE AAA Word. That didn't happen to me with similar artists like Madlib and MF (my all time favorite) but Dilla immediately hit my ear right, and when I first heard this I couldn't even explain the feeling
oEREBUSz I first heard Madlib in 2001 in Detroit when my friend played it for me and then a few years later discovered him properly and now he’s in my top 3. I guess at first hearing it through a shitty car radio it didn’t hit my ear right lol
@@abdulgrundy3928 the stand out thing for me on this one is the sample and the way he brings out the low end. But looking back on it 6 years ago- I think it has to do with the memories

this Iconic Genius Will B surely missed ....😑😑😑.... Some of the world missed out on the Originality of this Beats Master!!!!!😊..... RIP J. DILLA.... 😔😔😔.....
I love to vibe with this music makes me happy so much it's a feeling that i like alot, man i wished Nujabes and J-Dilla had a chance to work together that would've been the best.
There used to be a fan made DTFT video on youtube with a random spaceship movie from the 80's... and it's been taken down due to terms and regulations... that video definitely added on to the level of visual nostalgia. Somebody put it back! #Amen
Hip Hop is a Way of Life Hip Hop is United Love between communitys Hip Hop is the Union of ears to sound Hip Hop is heart, rhythm and Soul Hip Hop is intelligent mindful People 🎧
This beat is so ALIEN!!! I have this joint on my phone. Couldn't get off this track. I got an assortment of 72 DONUTS. I've been repeating this one most of today!!!! lol
I'm not dissing on Illa J, but it's Dilla's genius that made this album successful, Illa J has been bailed out by his brother's production a lot, and still is. Illa J is ok, but I'd still take Dilla on the mic over him as well.
lyricalslonglost I think you mean Guru and Premo :P Dilla was still pretty underrated on the mic, maybe not as lyrically but still had a respectable flow. But I mostly agree with what you're saying. There are few producers who are also MCs, Black Milk is one of them.
Im prettttttttttttttty sure it wasnt at all about being the most successful or popular in the music world. Im actually 100% positive thats not what it was about for the Yancey family, my favorite thing about Dilla is that he always remained true to his music. whatever he liked, he made. not what was popular, not what he thought would be the most popular.
Aaron Rossta Dilla seemed to be behind the scenes and humble, he had no corners either, he really could go from soulful/jazz to something unorthodox or completely different and added a lot of his own sounds such as drum beats (snares, etc.), he was very, very versatile and one of a kind.
Speachless....2 people are souless...in the time it took to thumb this down you could have changed the page....that YOU clicked on in the first place..........
lol Joey calls it DTFT still one of the best doin it right now and he picked a nice beat. Side note: The Drums are very Similar to "Incarcarated Scarfaces"
i hear the influence of dilla all over youtube, all these new lo fi producers. some are dope however, when i come back to dilla they pale in comparison
2010 July 4th in Yokohama, Japan at 8pm...never will forget that night. I had just got this cd and the instrumental cd. This instrumental was on repeat. Cruising past Cosmo World and watching the fireworks in Yokohama with two of my boys in the whip. Japanese girls and Brazilian girls waving in the car like crazy vibing to this. Parked, got out, and mingled with a lot of people in Yokohama about hip-hop, J Dilla, Illa J, Slum Village, Tribe, Adult Swim bumps, where the parties were that night. Cool ass night and every time I bump DFTF I reminisce over that night in Japan. This is a memorable album in so many ways.
Jeesus Chrest why are you so butthurt over someone's OPINION? I understand when an impetuous artist passes away their work gets reevaluated. Doesn't mean other legendary producers can't compare to j dilla or match his skill set.
Stretch Armstrong i agree with you dilla knew wtf he was doing and did it in his own way. premo makes nice af beats and was talented no doubt but no producer compares to dilla as a musician
Yea wish I could go back when it was all bout who had the freshest SnapBack now days it cold n lame everybody grown up doing the same thang spit game spin brain left AMA it’s been a while tho remember just hitten the 9th grade now am 17 barley getting paid
