[manicbeatss]

how do you find a snare like that....that's just perfect.

[VioletRocketOfficial]

@manicbeatss There are J-Dilla kits around the net, i can't tell more since i'm not a beat-producer but i'm sure you'll find them

[LoopSkywalkerHN]

@manicbeatss it's all about filtering and layering samples from records. think he used some kind of 80's disco clap and maybe a snare from a tr-808...

[sheshewantit45]

[YoungDub222]

its too funny that this song still applies to today's hip hop music llol. its a shame.

[ThoughtProduct]

@YoungDub222 It applies more then it used to in fact

[MahoCanada2]

@YoungDub222 That's right. It might seem cliché, but that's the irony. Most of these commercial radio cats are straight up and down on front street.

[boolshmool]

@YoungDub222 More than ever !!!

u are so right and kudos for bringing it to light... hopefully this comment can resurrect the mentally dead..

[FDAPO]

People who disliked this be on front street. Damn... Dilla had to be on the beat when you're talking about Front street, fits the mood perfectly and we all know Dilla hates the Bros.... Yall kno what im talking about, a bro who wears a popped collar, listens to lil wayne, watches jersey shores ect.

[Sentinel2k1]

love this track, regardless of Dilla's iconic status as a producer i still believe Pete is Rock better

[BennyGaberMusic]

[BernardoRomao]

@defcreator No , This is a Dilla beat 100 % sure .

[seboufdu59]

@defcreator What are you talking about ? Dilla made this beat, it's on his discography on stone throw records. RIP

[ezearl]

@defcreator Stoppin Front You Bitch Ass Nigga.

Jay Dee Made This Beat.

You Backpack Ignorant Rap Kat Motha Fucka

All The Dudes That Dont Live On Front Street Know Who Made This Beat.

R.I.P. J Dillanger

[defcreator]

@ezearl

1st..it was a very obvious joke,u should be smart enough cause now who the real fool?

All jokes aside,are you the original ez earl (tricky tee,sleeping bag records 1986)??

if not stop copying a real hiphop legend.

[trappedinlife29]

everywhere I look on youtube i discover fresh new beats from DILLA.

The kick drum in this is SICK. Now I mostly listen to metal, but there will always be a place in my heart for TRUE hip-hop. Im sad at the state of what kids listen to nowadays...its all autotune crap, making everyone sound like robots with fucking HANDCLAPS used as a snare. oh and FUCK black eyed peas too....fucking sellouts, Dilla will be turning in his grave.

[Vertigo3TC]

his drums... effin amazing. every track his drums sound like they're freakin really being played. so organic

[BoliviaMafia]

@Vertigo3TC 4real rip master dilla

[3452g5]

R.I.P. J DILLA AKA JAY DEE

(Phat Kat was YOOOUUUUNG)

[djkaseone]

The group is actually called "1st Down" (Jay Dee+Phat Kat)

[prezario]

[ruffdraft07]

Hip Hop is all this bliss.

[jay9614]

RIP greatest hip hop artiest that ever lived

[hughey92]

This song is all too relevant.

[NoRiddlez]

This tune goes hard

[Losx03]

man o mannn classic

[melif23]

don't front

[illadelphuk]

to all u tools arguing about how much they know if this hiphop is real or not..fuk it just enjoy it for what it is..music for ya soul..does it really matter if somepeople have been listening to this and various other true hiphop for years or not?..peace

[TheBkilla3]

this is j dilla. his old nickname was jay dee until 2001 he called himself j dilla

[dcoyerz]

@imtheFreshest people like you pisses me personally off. Stop complaining about shit, if Estiee24 likes J Dilla and hes stuff, u should let him do. Just because he recently discovered Dilla does not necessarily mean that he don't have an eye on what's real and what's unreal. I guess you're older than 14 so you've probably been in the hiphop industry for a longer time than he has, but I don't see the problem. If he listening to dilla then he knows what's up. btw, I'm 14 too and I know smth.

[imtheFreshest]

@dcoyerz

Sure i dont just let him... he MUST love Dilla ;)

yeah and I think he knows whats poppin. disscussed it out.

peace

[xxLateralus420xx]

@I'm the freshest...It's peeps like you who turn young peepz off to dis beautiful life of beatz....Chill bra...and @ estiee24...propz young blood..God took him way 2 soon but we was blessed havin' him on dis earth for the short time and we lived through it...

Peace...R.I.P. JAYDEE

[imtheFreshest]

@xxLateralus420xx

and its peeps like the other that destroy the good music... uh uh its sooooo real... i know it cuz i listen to it since 6!!!!! days....

woooow i am sooooo UNDERGROOUND... wtf...

listen to all the good Hip Hop for years, buy the legendary vinyls and then, somebody can tell me that he know its soooo real.

[xxLateralus420xx]

@imthefreshest,All goo bra...I think we can both agree, aint tha same no more....shit out today aint any good no how...bra, im 40...been listn' to dis forever...seen the good dayz gone now....peace...

[imtheFreshest]

@xxLateralus420xx

hehe ok. yeah we can both agree. agree ;)

good dayz gone now... tru tru... but we shouldnt let them go away... and we dont... nice too see, that they are some fresh ppl out there.

peace

[jackmylantern]

damn ur a fag....and a prick..... kid says he like dilla and all u can say is "what u know?" props for even liking dilla. that already makes u cooler than most people. DEFINITELY cooler than the one who calls himself the "freshest"

[imtheFreshest]

@jackmylantern

u dont know me. so it could be that im the freshest. think bout it...

I fuckin hate this fuckin trend ppl that have no idea from Hip Hop music and act like they are theeee gurus with the biggest knowlegde... but yea... these kids are def fresher then i am... hehehehehe sure....

[Estiee24]

I just started listening to J Dilla. Im only 14 hah. I heard this cat is dead. How'd this shit happen?? I give this dude maad props his shit iss sooooo real. i really like his stuff and i just started listen last thursday.

[imtheFreshest]

@Estiee24

he died cause he had a sickness called "lupus"...

at the end he was in a wheelchair...

u started last thursday and know that hes "soooo real".. okay... learn first smthing bout music.

R.I.P. Dilla

[preemeast1999]

he died from

Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) a blood disease

[Estiee24]

@imtheFreshest

What the hell man? You dont know me so, you have no idea what I know about music.. and I dont wanna sound concede but I think I know a lot about music. Being that I play the drums, the bass, and just got into scratching. I listen to just about everything. And uh your not even making a good point because from all of the J Dilla ive heard, his stuff is way more heartfelt and REAL then half the shit coming out todayy. Thats not to say that real music isn't still around...

[imtheFreshest]

@Estiee24 yeah maybe u know smth bout music... with 14 years... pfff... maybe...

but wtf? u didnt even know why Dilla died, u listen to him since a few days, and now u KNOW that he s soooo real... sure.

Ppl like u who listen to smth for a few days and then they are telling everywhere how fucking real and sick and true the stuff is... These ppl pisses me personally of. Trend catz...

wtf dont wanna argue... Just enjoy the MUSIC. J-Dilla!!!

[Estiee24]

@imtheFreshest

im not saying that his music is real, even though it obviously is. im comparing it other hip hop around. and hahahah me not knowing how he died doesn't prove how much i know about music or not? and im speaking on behalf of the "people like me" i apologize if we personally piss you off. and oh dont worry dog.. i am most definitely enjoying J Dilla. im done

[imtheFreshest]

@Estiee24

ok. didnt wanna fuck with u. Maybe my point was coming thru the wrong way. But u get it know. Course it doesnt mean u have no idea, cuz u didnt knew how he died. Just pissed bout the "uh uh uh we are the biggest Hip Hop heads" people. u know i mean.

Nice to discuss with ppl on a friendly level... Guess that wouldnt be possible on a fucking metal, house, pop... vid...

Just shows the intelligence of us ;)

Real Hip Hop music 4-ever !!!

peace dog

[Gl0w955]

@imtheFreshest

a person can be 20 yers old and no nothing about nothing

but just because there older they get more respect??? or no more???

a person can be 14 and gotten more education in anything...than the 20 year old ever did..

peace...

and fuck illuminati

[Losx03]

this wassup

[veryfirstBiz]

thx for uploading! its a pleasure to see people keepin his name up.

[sangseoulnysimin]

This reminds me of the 80s and the early 90's in hip hop. This is what im waiting to hear in a long time...Jay dee has made that come true for all. No doubt.

[Howitzerr]

roflolmao

[omfir]

Love This...

[BaLlErRaMpAgE23]

best dilla beat,

You can hold the torch offf Busta Bus'z Big Bang,

Features Q Tip, Illest beat ever

[brireif]

a good one!

[DetroitBoogie1]

Get 1st Down from Phat Kat's my space for 10 bucks. He is still one of the top 5 emcees in the D doing it today.

[DetroitBoogie1]

I see questions out there. For those that don't know this is Front Street off of "1st Down" Payday Records released in the early 90s. 1st down consisted of Phat Kat the rapper and J-Dilla the producer.

[Deftoneskid1]

Anyone know off hand what album this is off of?? I would just google it but I gotta dip out the crib. Thanks in advance.

[BoliviaMafia]

i have the instrumental to this..... but who on the mic and where is this from not heard this yet..?

[Phlexxon]

This song is so tight, it's like I can feel the day it was made - the vibe reminds me of the everyday growing up. Dilla! Phat Kat!

[EdiBlazE]

guyz who live on front street end up getting jumped.

[djjazzyjames420]

dilla beats blow me away. see u up top big man rip

[ktroy1000]

@djjazzyjames420 is that j.dilla rappin

[DjViRuSx]

@ktroy1000 def not

[SCHMOOVNESS]

kanye west comments on a dilla song????omg

[sbDREAM22]

seriously WTH,???

[RuckFulezRKO123]

That's cool with me, he brought 2 classics out at least so he's contributed to hip hop. Graduation was all right but Kanye played a part in hip hop for a while, going pop is his decision, which means there's time for other guys like Black Milk, Royce, and others to step up.

[InTruMentalProject]

I agree 110%, but now I think he's coming back from the corruption. Its safe to say that no has crossed over, and I think he might be the first. I have respect for that.

He coming to realize the real importance of good, positive music, the poetry, and the beats as its heartbeat.
