i love these comments. people get it. it's interesting that some people just don't. I am 64-year-old white dude who was trained as a classical musician, and a lifetime fan of jazz. never even heard of JD till I picked up a book about 21st century jazz, where the author spoke in reverential tones about the great genius of Dilla and his immensely important influence. I was like, who? go on the youtube and boom! you're a member of the international fraternity of those who get it.
Putting the sample as an intro clearly shows why Dilla is number 1. Never ever felt this beat until few months ago. It feels like my heart is in safe place while that bassline is petting my back. Dilla was playing with people's feelings and emotions. And that's probably why I feel like he was my best friend, my brother, my mentor and my hero. And I hadnt even met the guy.
Bro only a few folks will share this sentiment, I feel like that bout him too, I too feel I had a special connection with him, find myself trying to work out n understand how his brain worked, what is he feeling when he’s creating!🤔
Is that because these are just fan mixes with different names? Or is this really something j dilla himself dropped, I’m starting to feel like a lot of the stuff may just be fake fan stuff but I honestly don’t know
Yes, we know the sample is cool but, we also know that you came here for the beat. I love his kicks and snares on this one...and then to let the bass ride with the kick for a few and then disappear is genius.
This is from the Yancey Boys instrumental album. I feel this is the original version because it sounds so 90s. His best work is from the 90s imo not saying the eras were bad it's just what I prefer to hear the most
"The Chicago and Kansas Concert in Boston has been changed to the Kansas and Boston Concert in Chicago" Bonus points if someone knows where this one is from.
