Have you ever heard a kick drum that’s so unique, so unpredictable, so… incredible, that you’ve wanted to fight someone? That might sound a little intense, but that’s exactly what happened when J Dilla was producing the song “Runnin’” by The Pharcyde in 1995.

totally @diggingthegreats, it's interesting and informative even if I know a lot of the background. You have a knack for putting into context, keeping it fresh, thanks dude! All the best from Morocco, Sean - www.youtube.com/@ketama047

@jennyneon Год назад

J Dilla is the greatest producer of all time no question. the fact that 29 of the 31 tracks on Donuts was produced in the hospital with an SP-100 is just unbelievable to even imagine. That seals it for me.

@vertical_parallel 6 месяцев назад

greatest of all time no doubt. so very sad we lost him so soon

@gabeeskridge8291 5 месяцев назад

@@vertical_parallelIt's not very sad , we were blessed with his gift for as long as we could AND MANY TREASURES HE LEFT US. It's obvious he was born on a MISSION 😊.

@jmorrisey79 3 месяца назад

@@gabeeskridge8291 Nice spin on the story bro but yea It's still sad. Dude was 32 years old and was monster of creativity and dedication... as well as just an all around good dude. He had waaaay more to grow sonically and bless the world with his gifts.

As a fellow hip-hop channel owner and as a fan, I have to give you much respect on the content you make. The humor, the stories, the research. It's all super dialed in. Your success is well earned!

@funkybrewer6298 Год назад

I've been digging into hip-hop history for a while now, but you're contextualizing it in a way that's accessible and engaging. I appreciate you man. Keep it up!!

LABCABINCALIFORNIA album by The Pharcyde is criminally underrated. One of my favorite Hiphop albums ever recorded

@andyboi8283 9 месяцев назад

Same, my #1 pick personally

@phonymex3340 6 месяцев назад

@andyboi8283 Must not listen to alot of Hip-Hop. The emcees spitting bars are subpar. Two things come with a good Hip-Hop song. The Beat & The Rapper. Pharcyde lacks good Dope Rhyme Sayers. Nothing too amazing. You should try listening to Nas, Mos Def, Big Pun, or André 3000 (Outkast)

@Anouyz 6 месяцев назад

I think its a little wack to hate on them cause you can't catch the vibe of the flow. I'm also from out east and vibe a lot harder with cold winter energy. I'll sum it up with a line form the legend BIG JUS, "Straight up, for niggas that don't understand. Obviously, this wasn't made for you, so fuck you, but jus company flow lune tns and i'm out."@@phonymex3340

@gabeeskridge8291 5 месяцев назад

@@phonymex3340Very interesting your words. As knowledgeable as you are , you should know hip-hop has lanes in its artistry. You're stating the obvious , they have a unique feel. THEY WERE SUCCESSFUL IN WHAT THEY NATURALLY CREATED.

@phonymex3340 5 месяцев назад

@gabeeskridge8291 oh yeah the vibe itself and melodies are carried out by the producer. JD does a very good job of doing that. But still, the lyricism is not your typical East Coast wordplay

@KC-lg8qf Год назад

This channel is insane. I can't even wrap my mind around making a video like this. The work that goes into this is just incredible.

@AnecDope_official Год назад

Great storytelling as always! Sidenote: was suprised to read in Dilla Time that T3 was the one who "discovered" the Stan Getz & Luiz Bonfa loop used in "Runnin". Definitely deserves some credit for that! 🙌

@thelevelbeyondhuman Год назад

I’m so glad we have someone technically breaking down Dillas work in such a professional series. I’m just now finishing his entire production discog, and I can’t wait to start trying to reprod some of these. Hope there’s many more to come!

@robbiemiraclemakers Год назад

Quickly becoming my favourite channel. Came across one of your videos a few months back and have been looking forward to new drops ever since. Keep up the great work. Big fan here in Dublin, Ireland.

I've used RU-vid as my primary entertainment platform for something like 8 years, have subscribed to well over 100 channels. Yours is the first that made me think "Let me hit that notification bell. I'd hate to miss even _one_ upload"

@vicdmise Год назад

It's amazing what a simple and even standard idea it is to turn off quantization and play in drums by hand, the way music had ALWAYS been made, but JD is the first guy to buck the trend of an entire genre and do it on a major release. That's not to take away from his brilliance, but it just takes one guy to go, "I I think I'd rather do it this way" for everyone to see the possibilities. You're doing a great job on this channel. I'm duly impressed.

@boomboombaby9140 Год назад

When I was a kid my cousin died and left us his equipment, we had a Korg keyboard workstation but the loop didn’t work it was a malfunction. We had to play the drums and every sound for like 3 minutes, we had to count bars in our heads for the chorus 😂😂😂😂

@droneofthefurture Год назад

Thank you so much for the history rundown - I've been listening to this track a ton after I discovered it for the first time around 3 years ago, but never knew the story behind the crew. It's one of my top songs of all time and means a lot to me, so listening to it now will be wild knowing the story behind everything

@mickey4125 Год назад

Dude, these videos are absolutely incredible. I discovered your channel about 4 hours ago and have just been flying through your content since. Extensively researched, authoritatively presented, and edited in a way that makes the pieces flow beautifully, this really is a goldmine of musical knowledge. You clearly know the subject inside out, and it shows in your confident yet comfortable demeanour. Might I also add, when you chuck in a bit of DJing, such as the Beegees mix in the James Brown video... sheeeeeesh! Keep at it man, you've got a new sub here for sure!

Your videos are my most amazing find of channels. Not only do you work through my life of music interest. Fillin the gaps I’ve never understood. And the editing quality is world class. Then when you bring the bass out and plays phat beats. You just slam it. It makes you the authority of modern soul historian.

@moriontax Год назад

Man, hell yeah, I'm glad someone is gassing up this track for the here and now. I haven't even watched yet but lowkey I thought you meant how the drum kicks swing has that thump that just sounds like it's trading back and forth, didn't know that there was a real fight on it tho! 👀

Your content is gold 🪙 Never pressed that RU-vid bell so fast in my life. Could I make a request for a future episode. Del The Funky Homosapiens crew The hieroglyphics which members led to an iconic song with Souls of Mischief - 93'till infinity. I believe you could do them justice, since they are highly influential yet there isn't much found on them regarding their overal story. I know you have a smorgasbord to choose from, so I won't hold my breath, but would be so interesting to hear more about them through your highly educational format. Peace
