Hi guys I just finished the book Dilla Time and as a side project I’ve been compiling a playlist based on songs from the book, both those Dilla produced and those of others inspired and related to him. Check it out and let me know what you think!

A lot of Detroit musicians, producers, singers, engineers or emcees have this Ruff Draft poster hanging in their studio or their living room. I am no exception.

Did dilla ever sample Prison Song by Carlton Williams?

Just came across this sample in Future's Mask Off again and it just sounds like a tune dilla would create. Every time I listen to it I feel like I've heard this in one of dillas tracks but there's no mention of dilla ever sampling Prison Song. Do you guys know if dilla ever sampled prison song? Here's the Future track: Future - Mask Off (Aesthetic Remix)

It would be great if somebody here could settle for me once and for all if dilla every sampled this song and if so in which of his tracks. Much appreciated

What is your favorite Hi-Hat of J Dilla?

I cannot name a specific Hi-Hat of his that I’d consider my favorite, since i love so many of them.

But one specific beat features a Hi-Hat, so crisp and also sorta aggressive, it makes me sigh — what a musical genius!

It‘s on „Microphone Master“
