One of my favorite beats of dillas right now for sure 🙌
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
I might get fried for this but yk it’s always worth a try. i’m 16 and i listen to a lot of J Dilla and i wanted to make a album in mid may(This song was on it), but it didn’t go to well. How does this sound?
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“
Does anyone have someway to access all Dilla music that is not on streaming? I support streaming J Dilla's music, I just want to have the stuff that wasn't as well.
obviously talking about the rhythmic feeling of hip-hop‘s Mozart, not the book
but i adopt this term since it describes something that couldn’t be described before
is this also called micro-rhythm?
anyway
give me some beats por favor !!!
He collected alien figurines. Frank used to call him an Alien. Illa J has a song called Alien Family. Madlib mentioned in an interview, that when they met, they didn't have to speak they just connected and it was almost Alien like way. Many of his beats sound euphoric/atmospheric. I also feel he used to communicate feelings and thoughts through his music. One particular song that sticks out besides Alien family is called Turn Me Up Some (Instrumental) In the beginning of the song it sounds like the sample says "Oh shyt, who let them muthafuckas comin in here, ayo help me ahhh" then this whistle like vibrating sounds plays throughout the song. The whole beat is atmospheric laced with samples that sound like teleportation sound effects. Somewhere in the middle some more samples saying "Ahuh" almost confirming yea this is what I'm talking about. Lastly I would like to mention an interview with this Scientist named Jack Sarfatti. In it he mentions that when he was young he received a phone call from he doesn't know who and he was told to follow a certain path in life and if he did he would meet other people like him for a specific purpose and only once they all met up would they then realized they all had the same phone call(he believes it was aliens calling). As I mentioned earlier him and Madlib met up and they didn't need to speak to connect with each other. (As I am writing this my flashlight turned on by itself prolly a coincidence anyways) Let me know what you guys think about this rant and anything related to it. Peace.
This music is just insane, the feel and the drums and the samples, the mixing, the everything! Just wondering how so little people know/care for his lesser known tapes? They’re some of the best tunes ever to hit my ears.
