Yancey Boys - "Flowers" (feat. Talib Kweli, Niko Gray & Rhettmatic) 

The chorus on this is so beautiful

This is perfect for warm summers, but also chilly nights

This is beautiful asf This is how hip hop should be

This song takes me back, j dilla is the reason I take music so deeply, reason for making my mindset brighter instead of did forcing on the negative parts. When stuff brings me down, his beats and songs with his beats make me feel . I wish he was alive. I would love to see what he would make next. Him and nujabes This whole album is banging.

Could listen to that chorus for days

RIP Dilla, legends don’t die

Her hook matched the beat perfectly

Yo.... this is real hip hop .brings a feeling of warmth to my heart and soul

9 years ago.... this song really never gets old

they did this instrumental justice

Got this on vinyl two years ago. Reminds of the spring and beautiful atmosphere. Nostalgia once again.

I would love to cruise through LA at the sunset with this on!

talib kweli just too smooth with this rhyming shit haha

Dilla MPC has now been accepted, and will be displayed at the Smithsonian Institution in DC

Dayum Talib kweli killed this record...dope

Why have I never heard of Yancey Boys until now? If Kweli fucks with them, then they gotta be awesome

J. Dilla just makes me sick XD, every time I think I've heard his best, I hear some new shit that makes me love him more. Please just let me do my homework DILLA!!!!!!!!

That harmonizing is the BEST

man to think this all just extra music dilla made that didnt go into his actual albums, incredible

Can you believe jdilla sampled the piano from Craig Hundley's it was a good year?!? What a genius

Who still listening? What an era

" You give me flowers so I can in the hours of the night my powers all get highA sweeter song, my eyes are now devouring in the light like a sparrow come aliveYou give me flowers so I can really love the lullabies made up of the sky And every minute every hour I devour the light like a sparrow come alive . You give me flowers". . . . . A very sexy , romantic hook that I can envision the look of love in my woman's eyes.

This Album is fire! found it in 2024. Thought it was brand new! 🔥

gorgeous beat

Wow this is my favorite Dilla beat

this is still fire in 2021!

God damn, that hook is fucking beautiful

Definitely quenched my ear drums thirsty for g.o.o.d music. Beautiful hip-hop.

guys give your lady flowers at least once...sign of respect and promise

This is beautiful

Long Live My Inspiration! DILLA THE GREATEST

Man this beat and this chorus are the best things that happened to each other. Incredible by themselves but together... sublime

Something about the warmth of this song combined with that album art Sample is _It Was A Very Good Year_ by The Craig Hundley Trio in case any one is wondering

Rest in Beats dilla another great joint of you!

RIP to the GOAT J Dilla 🙏 😪

I be riding Supa clean in the Benz windows cracked I can fill the eyes watching as I bop my head not missing a beat to this✌👌💯💯💨

It's crazy that the verse I hear talib spit seems like something Kendrick would rap to our generation of listeners now. Not to take it as an insult or anything .

Kweli floated on this one. Timeless Dilla beat too

lovely song

This is what I wanted hear. Pure poetry

it's iiiiight, that beat is killer tho'

legends

That bassline though!!! I think my back number just fell off!! I can feel my eyelashes swaying FUCK YEA!! SITTIN AT THE RED LIGHT ON BROAD STREET IN NORTH PHILLY

This is amazing. I'm so glad I found this tonight.

Damn Dilla does it again

music is so sweet that I can sleep on it! getting the best dream ever on it!

this is the perfect sort of music to get stoned to

Wow I'm just discovering this song and I'm in love! Ty

my group with dante inspired phonte & big pooh.

But first let me give you these flowers 🌺

dopest!

The beat should be a bit louder. The rapping is good, but J Dilla deserves the spotlight.

かっこいい

Elzhi & Phonte would sound dope on this beat

real 90s West Coast Hip hop

Don't forget these are only a couple bar loops, sadly. I don't think they will ever find another ma dukes or brazilian groove that are just production masterpieces. But this track is beautiful

Thank you !!

Dope...
