If I was a rapper, I would make this the last track on my last album. To me each beat tells a story, and this one is a story of flying over the world once you've mastered yourself and you truly are happy about all the struggles you went through cause you realize that made you the master you are today. R.I.B. and Thank You Mr. J Dilla
+Roberts Budigins they got smacked open-handedly by some players...and now are sad because of some folks who "used to call (them) on (their) cell phone..."
How could a human create this. Its so musically complex yet sounds so simple. Its has such a jagged melodic groove to it yet sounds so tranquil and pure. I could zone out on this beat for hours and not notice time go by. I have never heard music like this before in my life, my god that man was on another level.
+Soul Survivor 187 take it easy. when this batch used to be on RU-vid it was dated (1993) so I always took that seriously. it wasn't hard to imagine since he started producing in SV back in high school
***** It's off the one now on RU-vid titled "Old Donuts." I don't wanna talk about it too much or it'll get pulled off youtube again. It should be about 14 minutes in.
i don't think I'll ever stop missing Dilla....as long as his beats are around, there's always going to be that direct connection to me as well as every single fan of his music. He was a legend who should be recognized for his craft instead of being only looked at as a 'hip-hop producer'. R.I.P. Dilla
This is easily one of my favorite beats by this dude. He had an ear for the music man. Period. Period. And you can't turn his stuff into a pop song. That's hop all the way kids.
Because this beat appeared on Another Batch which has been around forever. Old Donuts is like a quarter of what is on ANother Batch. If you wanna link just say
I first heard Dilla through spotify. I was on up a mountain and I had internet access and it was the night, then it started drizzling outside. The beat was 'Dime peace' and ever since my life changed. RIP Dilla!
A perfect description of both this song and the genius in a large majority of Dilla's work - if there ever was a producer who knew a song could be dope without overdoing things, it was Dilla
Many people could easily say that this beat is easy to make, which it probably is. But Dilla had so much soul and creative intuition with his beats and sampling, that I would never be able to scope out. Who could find shit like this to sample? Genius
I'm from Colombia and I've never visited New York in person, but when I listen to this track by Dilla, I don't know why always take me to the same thinking of me on a cloudy day taking a walk under the elevated railroads of New York while im listening to this beat just chilling on my own. That's what makes Dilla music so special, he was unique and one of the best beatmakers of all time. Long Live Jay Dee🙏🏻
I fell back into the Dilla catalogue this week and this track has stuck with me since I found it almost 10 years ago. Something so simple but so perfect.
J-Dilla dead? Not possible. Know why? That song you're listening to right now. People like him live on through their music. J-Dilla's alive and well in the hearts of all of those who listen to this and still think there's nothing better.
I`m Lost inside my own stress man So many thoughts of progression Who do i have to kill, To become Heir Like will I ever be a millionaire Will I ever be truly happy Other than grabbing boobs while she rides me smooth through the back seat Cowards die a thousand deaths, I`m a soldier living profound instead While i count my cheques i got a glock loaded around my bed One mission impossible dive away Aim it in your opticals boy fly away or your gon`have to off your soul and die today my postures poised I ride that way.
I went to the "Donuts Are Forever" benefit last year with my girl. I felt like I was in underground heaven. I damn near lost my mind when the dj played "Dont Cry" and "We Must Be in Love." A night I will never forget.
Yeah, Fam. I never met him, but when he passed I sobbed like a baby... The void that was left knowing I would never hear him again, with the exception of what he left. He was a gift man... Your words are so on point. Respect...
I don't know how this man was able to craft perfect sonic nuggets that can be a loop three seconds long, completely cyclic, no further embellishment, or do the exact opposite, keeping it linear and organic and maintain his artistic integrity. his chord progression choice is SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKK.
this beat never gets old man i can play this all day 1 after the other 4 real Mad Props Again To Master Jay Dee MAns have come far in the game miSs Dilla CraZy
I read a article back in like 2000 in a recording magazine that jay dee programmed every drum hit throughout the whole song, not just 4-8 bars and loop it, but through 64 plus bars. Thats why they beats ride all through and don't get repetitive, its alot of extra work that most producers won't take the time to do, but the listeners will thank you in the end if you do, because it makes for a much more enjoyable listen.
Dope Dilla face sticker on my back windshield rollin' around Detroit showing respect like I'm spose to. Dilla will always be amongst Motown's finest! R I Beats
If you can EVER make something like this, you will be musically gifted in my eyes. But this man, J Dilla, has changed so many lives with his music, that I somehow doubt that he is overrated.
And now returning to this comment 8 months later this is helping me deal with my godmother's passing. Allowing me to see the beauty of it and life itself. Can't thank you enough James Yancey
Man... I'm listening to this beat every day... every our... every single minute, it just doesn't get old... and I'm waiting every time when he hit those 3 pads at 1:39. DILLA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This beat is so unbelievable... I'm almost crying.
and artistic integrity like my man jay dee. you can't tell me that he disliked the fact that he was one of the most prominent and well paid producers in the music buisiness during his time on earth.
rest in peace j-dilla always n forever you help me on my path to greatness with your producing genuis on a few of my own albums and lps god bless you i hope you keep on watching after us from heaven and above
