One day last year just woke up wit dis song on my mind, didn't really kno tha name of it , just put in front street and it came up. Crazy after all these years.
Again......Yes Dilla.......Hip Hop really aint the same bro.....But what can we do??? ........ Continue to burn a candle bright for you bro and never forget You......R.I.P Dilla!!!!!! Peoples........Turn It UP!!!!!!
I don't deny that this track is art... which is why I appreciate it... but you fail to understand one thing: appreciation is far from the ideas of "like" and "hate"... appreciation is the search for understanding, the search for the deeper meaning, the reason for the art... and Kanye just felt that his pain was better expressed by 808 drum hits and not the style he originally came in with
Haha. Maybe Kings of the Mainstream. But right here. Is where you'll find the kings of skill, style, and real hip-hop. This right here, is a whole different game.
Cjguinness nah, there's ton of great djs still rocking the dope production. On top of that, Dilla's inspirations are still alive making music and you know they are dope, e.g. Pete Rock.
dude kanye is a great asset to hip hop man..just think if he hadent have came into the game...dilla mite have brought him up,but thank god.DILLA LIVES FOREVER..remember that shit..
and one more thing... people who have something pertinent to say usually do it in the form of constructive criticism, and not tentative destructive criticism... it's like a friend of mine said: once a dude who never really listened to hip hop before hears a track like I Used TO Love HER, he absolutely thinks he can arbitrate hip hop music, when he doesn't even understand it to begin with, so stop yourself, and try to understand the music, before you try to denigrate it.
Somebody dissesd Em sayin hes wack...I don't think hes wack he just switch the style up like 180...I mean I wish he still had the style he had when he debuted with his Infinite album...It was comparable to Hov's Reasonable doubt....Em fell off with his new shit today to me....But i was neva an em fam maybe ill cop his older albums to get better insight...Check out Queen Latifah's-Black Reign Album(1993) Real hip hop...Mad people I bet are sleepin on that album
wow,you guys are so amazing!why you acting like Kanye is the first rapper to derail?fine,he shoud have never went down that autotune route but lets not forget what he is capable of and the impact he had on hiphop,shit,Dilla even said that Kanye is amongst his favourite producers,he produced a track on Dilla 's album,so lets not talk like he is soulja boy!
The only reason I've ever dissed Kanye is because he can be doing some raw shit like Dilla, but doesn't. He doesn't have to appeal to this mass audience. But atleast he does it sincerely. He really enjoys it. Dilla always kept his pocket pulse and amazing progressions with ridiculous root notes on the bass. Always delivered the most raw hip-hop. Oh, and Kanye's lyrics are a load of bullshit sometimes. Most times.
i feel you, i kind of lost all respect for him when he just straight up looped Curtis Mayfield's "Move On Up" for his song touch the sky. that was total bullshit to me. how you just loop and hardly speed up a famous song is beyond me. you're supposed to take ELEMENTS from songs and make it your OWN, not put drums behind someone else's song and call it your own, that's not hip hop
No, you're wrong. By you saying this, you yourself have absolutely no clue how to appreciate art, considering that "art" of all forms strikes everyone in different ways. Just because YOU want to label it "art" doesn't mean that I or ANYONE else has to LIKE it. not everyone likes picasso. everyone SURE as hell doesn't like kanye, namely me. STOP TALKIN ABOUT KANYE, HE SUCKS this track right HERE is art, why don't you comment on it?
People who disliked this be on front street. Damn... Dilla had to be on the beat when you're talking about Front street, fits the mood perfectly and we all know Dilla hates the Bros.... Yall kno what im talking about, a bro who wears a popped collar, listens to lil wayne, watches jersey shores ect.
It feels weird finally coming across the original song after having listened to the instrumental for so long since I could never come across the original songs. I used to listen to the inst a lot, felt very nostalgic for some reason
not biten on my mans seboufdu59... but i have to listen to dilla everyday. every since i heard climax i had to find more and more beats from him and he soothes me everyday man. It's like once you hear a dilla beat you will never forget it. real talk. R.I.P Dilla.
dude... stop looking too deep into the quote... didn't mean nothing overly spiritual by it... just saying this... and get this into your thick skull... Kanye does say some real ish... he just says it his way... and you may or may NOT like it, but there are obviously people out there who do... if the dude you look up to (Jay Dee) cosigned and said Kanye's got the talent (as i read somewhere in the comments to this very video), then, by God, he must gots that talent...
there are hip hop purists, and people who think they are because they know a few classics... There are art appreciators, and others who think they can appreciate art because they have ears to listen with... all those who are dissing Kanye West definitely do not know how to appreciate art... Art is a reflection of a man's inner self, and Kanye has expressed that inner self plenty of times, in different manners... clearly, if you do not know how to appreciate art, you can't understand him or Dilla
You say "appreciation is the search for understanding" like kanye is supposed to be able to tell me something I don't know or that by listening to him i can achieve nirvana. kanye isn't a prophet, or genius (lyrical or intellectual), and he sure as hell isn't my GOD. there is no deeper meaning with his lyrics, he's a BUNK MC.
