I can't help but believe that Madlib and J Dilla were destined to collide. Like two Gods of music uniting to save it. It is as if they were born in the same era purposely to make this album. I still get chills from this album, as if it is historical.
They were a great collab team wish JD hadn't died we would be still coming out with new music today.2020's we need Hip hop like this to comeback it needs it definately
I can only imagine what went through Dilla's mind when he first heard this beat. To flip the same sample from the Fall In Love record...woooooo what a callback.
2006 back in high school. Coming back home, spliffed af around 5pm. All I remember is cloudy weather and hearing the traffic outside the house. Music like this lasts forever and I'm fortunate to have have known friends who introduced me to it. Great stuff.
Best beat from Jaylib for me.this beat evokes many emotions in my soul.It almost made my cry minute ago and now iam smiling.oh my god this is masterpiece!Rest in peace Jay Dee .its already 6 years but I still want u alive.Please just press replay button...peace
In case yall wondering what the samples are, its: Gap Mangione - Diana in the Autumn Wind Dizzy Gillespie - Stomped & Wasted If you listen real close to the Stomped & Wasted song in the first 5 seconds, you'll hear that in the background to this song.
OMFG, watching this video RIGHT NOW is literally the first time ive everrrrr heard of "jaylib" but just the sound madlib and j dilla together makes me jizz a little. exploring this new discovery is gonna be very fun for me :P
Cool thing going on here with the compression effecting the claps. The bass is probably resampled and double layered for the plucking bits, bumping up the threshold of the whole signal so that clap is undulating louder and lower. One of my fav beats of all time! Feel like a god listening to this joint forreal!
lol at all the text raps in the comments ...I remember in late 90s early 2000s there used to be a kinda big "textcee" scene online people would like battle in text and shit .. Reminded me that haha
When I open my eyes, I see signs of summertime, birds fly on a canvas of sunny skies. Natural beauty that I capture in my minds eye, Collecting memories, As I watch time glide by. Day and night like a slide show as the beats play It seems strange, these days, seeing scenes change, These Transitional years, brought loss of some peers And invoked tremendous growth, but created new fears So I take a deep breath release stress to keep fresh Nowadays It would seem that I sleep less
S/O to Jay Yancey and much love to Madlib, This is a pure example of spreading love and knowledge to the kids Don't always believe negativity is the key, that's what the establishment wants you to see, A vivid picture of US as the enemy, that's what they want me and you to be But the flipside of this, is that real MCs will always and forever spread the message Because the mainstream/cliche rap is dead to us, do not call this ridiculous It's articulate and meticulous
i was wondering whose my favourite producer of all time. First i heared DJ Premier,i was thinkin oh my god this dude is ill behind the boards,he do magic.Then i switched to Dr. Dre , i was amazed by the piano keyz he played and the vibe he bring in every song he produce. Then i switched to Dilla. Eventually my whole body start movin to this shit automatically .Dilla's beats wakin up ur soul and whatever, its a whole different feeling , if u get me
So I try to live each day and appreciate the journey No matter how many regrets ive earned have burnd me... Existential, the sentient sentinel, extratrrestrial rhymes, sublime but unconventional Im just a voice intangible, metaphysical, Healing my soul by connectin to my spiritual Side, which I derive every time I ride a vibe Which is why every time I touch a mic its always live A rollin stone till I find home in my destiny the music is a ladder that ill climb to serenity
none of them are known to sample the same beat twice. this version is done by madlib... dilla already sampled "Diana in the Autumn Wind" for "Fall in Love". Both flipped it very well I might add....
I murked da mic/Then turned it right/To fight through life/Like, the working mans strife/Sharp-- like knife cuts/DJ-- throw da right cuts/This is what flight dose/White doves, disguise us/Peace signs, split rightous/Right down the middle/What i call the center/Attention is lost/We mention the cost/The last days of our lives/Covered in frost/Frozen in time/A sick mind/We flicker dimes/Light to find/ Inner thoughts/Beauty is bought/
An oasis, a paradise, its bliss A place of true peace, and not shallow ignorance, Rollins spliffs, sinkin in to pure thought Tryna connect the dots in this obscure plot Consciously reflecting on the best thing For me to do as I move through these waves Tides and maelstroms that have led me astray And let these raps be my anchor before I wash away. Like that....
Hell yeah, reminds me of playing NBA 2k8 kickin it in 2008 - 2009. That's actually how i found out about Percee P! I was like "WHAAAAT, How did i not know him?"
many seem to think Dilla produced this. Madlib produced, and dilla spit the verses. aaaight? :D however...this beat is amazing. gives me the chills. my fav madlib beat, word up.
