That little "eeee" vocal sample in between that comes around every 8 bars. Man that takes the beat to another level. It was Dillas musical nuances that made him the Goat. Details. Always about the details.
This one , the apartment/this is it instrumental and the official instrumental off of the jaylib album probably three of my favourites of all time from j dilla

I know I have to be really late on this but, Has anyone noticed that the beat rides out 2 different ways? I just realized that just now comming home from work. If u listen to it the regular way, its more of a studder step type beat. But the other way is more of a srtaight up boom bap type. And the lyrics are in sync either way u listen to it. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!
I agree, Producers thrive off the enjoyment of hearing lyrics written to their beat. The more artists who honor it the more legendary it becomes, MI stand up!!!!
Its like....J Dilla blacksmithing the beat from Arsenal, industrial engineering production with eye hand coordination. The caliber side effect is J Dilla's penetration standard turning all into mushroom. I love it.
got-DAMMIT if Royce da 5'9" didn't do this beat justice!!!!!!!!!! He's bout the only dude I know could pay respect to the brilliance of Dilla's superior beats....
..Willingly disperse of time as my eyelids befriend me Take the meanings from my dreams to reflect identity Sensory starts to part from memorys heart I attempt to stop it but my spark plugs wont spark Hark heralds arrive only to be denied entrance The news they carry can answer queues worth of questions But whats a lesson if you cant feel its meaning? I rub my eyes as I stop dreaming, my skull screaming alive I cry
yes its 2 seperate songs on a record by a band called the Gainsborough Gallery. Not on youtube but on spotify. the 2 songs are I think I'll catch the bus and house on soul hill. I got the record on ebay for about $30
I believe the vocal sample is 'I Think I'll Catch The Bus' by The Gainsborough Gallery. It's available on youtube. House Shoes dropped it in his latest Dilla samples mix.
So fiya my 11-1/2 month old even nodding her head to it! If its true he made this with no equipment other than a karaoke machine that's freakin bananas!!!
