I used to think it was corny how everyone said "J Dilla changed my life" Now I see The Light His beats keep your heart pumping, feed your soul, and you can feel the purity of his artistic vision in every beat
Him and the whole east coast scene made my life livable after my father left and I was still going through hell. I was like 8 years old and it was the night after my father left. My brother sat me down and taught me what freestyling was and what ways you could use it to your advantage over my emotions and to express them. He showed me books of war instrumental and life which life still makes me feel a certain feeling which truly changes as I age and go through well~ life
A lot of people look down on sample snitching, but just look up the song he sampled for this. How the hell did he get this out of that I will never know.
@nwaicecube213 I don't know. I think Preemo was definitely one of the best of his time (just like Marly Marl and Prince Paul pushed it to new levels in their time) but producing has evolved with J. Dilla and now you can see further evolution with producers like Madlib, Flying lotus and Jneiro Jerel (amongst others).....
Funny thing is. When I worked at a grocery store, my earbuds were out of my iPod when I played some J Dilla and my cowoker who was bagging for had never heard that something from Donuts. I wanna say Time: Donut of the Heart or something played. He maybe heard like five seconds. He didn't work there long, but I changed jobs and randomly met him at a totally different store again. He said he'd gotten into making beats after that. He looked into Dilla's catalog and got inspired. I know the feeling. Dilla always makes me wistful and like I can low-key accomplish anything.
+atam rusho More than that. Them going hear this and much more! hahaha I feel that I'm separating the best of rap and all your culture to them, much lucky these guys.
I love this beat makes me really think..love your sister, love your brother,love your mother,love your father, God is love....such a powerful message in this beat.
Real hip hop smacked our hour in the face It did a thousand swirls and twirled so out of place What the fuck have you gone and done to my first love I need my fix and your a piece of shit dealing off the worst drug Tony`s little friend would tell you how this powder tastes Click click pow your sour ass where cowards lay Scar free but this hurt is worse than blood Flipped hip to shit ripped out my heart and murdered us
Love is Life love is heart love is people, if you above in the charts we're still equal Rest to Pac, Big, rap, n Dilla When i bring the boom bap back but now its chilla Filla complete verse first the beat hurts worse, But if you kick it on the street the weak curse first, rip in acapella i rock a fella talk and tell a, more of a metaphor for glory its more mandatory than a sad story are you glad for me? what i wore is more War-E so so so sorry
Big up j dilla i wish, went to a tribute show at scala in london n we played your beats all nite n payed tribute to your baby mums n mom dukes who were there, thank u for giving us that feel good music R.I.P
this is truly the greatest beat i've ever heard. i heard this song from common, love is, and this song is stuck in my mind from the first day on! this song made "be" one of my favorite records of all times.
I didnt even really start listening to to your beats until 2009..... But i miss you like you was one of my homies. RIP. **Why does He take the best of us?**
R.I.P. To My Man J Ta The D , I Play On His Beats, Without Talkin About Sprayin A Piece, Ima Lyrical Beast, enuff Bars To Put Holes In Your Fleece, Dont Knck My shit In The Back Of a Caprice, Cause With This Dilla Beat Itll Flip Off The Streets, Im Not Whippin a Ki Over The Stove Like Hove, But Ill Still Whip A Rove, Shit Ill Take A Nova, Hold The Wheel, While i Roll The Kill, I Dont Care About The Keys, As Long As it Gets me Over The Hill, From Point A To C While Smokin On A B.
facing a world of consquences from my past actions, love is more attraction, something thats grows in the deep depths of my soul,around you my brain turns to mush something i cant control,you worth more then any amount gold, time stop when i hold you around my arms,hypnatized by your charm, please dont do me wrong or any harm, your the reason why im calm,its like im in heaven when we gripping palms,you my rightous queen to plant my seeds in like a farm,
Loving you is loving me That's a happiness that'll forever be Pain so deep like an entity Then hatred tore us entirely This love is a gift, it's curse and a miss Ignorance turned into a bliss Let it in and nothing will ever go amiss Eat a Donut and let it just reminisce Back when I was 16, life was starting to be so mean Hated by everyone, the way it seemed found happiness at the bottom of a cup of lean Took a walk, wondering what it really mean Focused on the Flowers, then all of the sudden, I got this power picked up the pen, now I'm on the 25th hour 24 wasn't enough, I tried walking away but it called my bluff Needing to be next to you, feeling like we're handcuffed Listen to me talk like it's a girl, truth be told, it's my whole world I thought it was my time to go, then I heard that the World is Yours The world is mine? then why are these un-genuine on tours? Something I love is getting taken for granted, slammed to the floor Couldn't sit back, this is what I live for Can we really take this bad news, hiphop got turned into a state of blues Now Trump is what the GOP want to choose? But yet you wonder, what would Young Thug do? What the Fuck, where's my booze

i self express just to...... make it through none the less,my test of love for you feelings oppressed you say im...... subtle boo this love is prominent this love.. this love is felt from an opposite continent
@PuCCiPuCCe Thank-you for that acute observation. People (generally) are sheep who need to be told what's "cool" - Perhaps even more annoying than these music listeners who jump on the bandwagon are the legions copycat producers who totally jack Dilla's style and whole production approach.
