J dilla wrecked this



[20tropic]

@SmackinLames jog on wiv ur paragraphs

[ariadnaley]

amo esta kancion.........

[Angeldustification]

Can someone write me down the lyrics of the intro? I think it's a beautiful verse, but I don't understand everything she says. Thanks in advance!

[modifythebears]

@Angeldustification I want to open the blind eyes of you. Your blank eyes shoot as far as the nearest target. That’s what you do. You step on the broken shards of another target. I stretch out my arms but they remain empty. This coral darkness can go anywhere. It’s so sad that I thought it was a normality.

[Angeldustification]

@modifythebears

Thanks a load! I don't want to seem like a nagger, but that's not the whole intro. There's some before "I want to open the blind eyes of you". If you could get me that too, it'd be even cooler! Thanks anyway though, it's nice to know that youtube is not *entirely* filled with flaming jerks that just comment to incite rage.

[modifythebears]

@Angeldustification No problem. Don't worry, you're not a nag. I typed the whole verse and split it into two separate comments, because it went over the character limit. Youtube must've glitched, not surprising - considering the recent changes made to the website layout. If you go have a look at “all comments” it should be there now. Glad I could help! Anyway... I understand what you mean completely. I don't support trollish behaviour, it's very immature... :/

[jumpwall7]

@Angeldustification come on tough guy, you poke your nose in

others arguments like some hard man, but you're really just a sniveling

little coward. You're a bigger wash-out then your worthless asshole of a dad,

satan fuck his soul, the cunt!

[boredbranflakes]

@jumpwall7 Lmao

[moggles9000]

I see no poetry in your face. Only a light of dark verses, to haunt me in the pitch of night and my sleepless eyes see no closing time. I tip-toe through the black and repercussions like percussion, tap a demented melody in my head. I would like to share this emptiness with you and sell you a piece of this void. I'd like to put a bomb in your heart, is that emotional terrorism?

[Angeldustification]

@moggles9000

Hey friend, thanks for the effort, but Modifythebears has already given me the text. Still nice of you to take your time for it though, ty!

[moggles9000]

@Angeldustification Oh cool and you're welcome. Great tune, the AIR remix too. Was a pleasure to transcribe.

[jumpwall7]

@Angeldustification Hey Hey quick quick guess what hey guess what hey hey guess what......poop...tehe

[0heartbeats]

i want the intro part!!!

[pageygeeza]

Heard this on Radio 1 many many moons ago, even before the album came out and got the album on the strength of this track alone. So glad I did. :)

[WizardSleeveUK]

Oneman is a genuine don. Brought me here.

[MC2Musik]

Mac Miller sent me <3

[edwardmartian]

@MC2Musik look up j dilla's remix of this song.

[lewi91100]

i think i'm in love with Bronagh...

[20tropic]

@LiveTheHighLifeKUSH mac miller is shit, Dilla remixed this crazy, mac miller just spit some garbage over it

[SmackinLames]

@20tropic youre an idiot mac miller is influenced by only the realest like big pac big l etc. and he listens to prodcuers like dj premier, j dilla, lord finesse, etc. hes a fuckin hip hop head and if you cant hear that in his rhymes yousa fool who dunno his hiphop.

[athenaelia]

this is so gooddd

[helloleisha]

i will never forget this song, its just beautiful <3

[Nataliarayac]

One of those songs you randomly run across, then can't stop listening to.

[x4aperfecttool]

I keep raping the Replay....Have been since well 2 days ago =)

[x4aperfecttool]

great song to get blazed too =)

[tarvmclentah]

jay dilla flips this so hard!! no one can touch jay dee

[enigine]

Freestylers mix is so much better than J D

Just search for

Purple - Crustation (Freestylers Remix) 1997

[refill1234567]

thank you sir mac miller

[SymphonicFreak1]

very different from the things I usually like, but still awesome *-*

[LiveTheHighLifeKUSH]

Thumbs up if Mac Miller brought you here!

[Astrofrank]

This song has the doziest charm of all music videos. Bronagh Slevin's voice fits perfectly.

[natedawg6995]

@captainjorgerules

no he shouldn't have that's some weird shit



[hardcorelifeforus000]

Everytime i feel sad or lonely, i play the first part of this song over and over again.. and everything wrong in my life just goes away for that 1:05 seconds.. peaceful

[BigBomboRass]

This vid still has the same effect it did the first time i saw it two years ago. Bliss Abyss

[prawieskreczmasta]

anyone know if has she recorded more song than for crustation? bloom is not enough

[bartjuhh12]

crustration say thanks to dilla.

[KNGHADES]

Crustation - purple - J dilla - purple - ♦Mac Miller - Purple♦

[MrJazzeJ]

Her sound reminds me of Sade a little bit

[burbabull]

awesome

[33oleg33]

Brilliant

[DForknargh]

[BILLYmayesIDEA]

I see a mt eden remix

[majsbullen]

Mt Eden faved this

[MYKEELOCC]

@majsbullen lol dats y i came here



[eliden]

@majsbullen i hope he is going to use it to make it even more epic!

[Aphradonis]

@majsbullen Who?

[AyeYirMa]

@Aphradonis they're groupies basically.

[OrangeMoonclaw]

Epilepsy engage. Song has a good story.

[karmicexplosion]

this is the best trip hop song ever....seriously.

[AyeYirMa]

@ThatCheshireCat she says "I want to open the blind eyes of you, your blank eyes that shoot as far as the nearest target."

[TOTALpopedom]

Remixing this just screws it up...

[QuoteNotes16]

dilla murdered the shit out of this

[kuriosity89]

"Sitting in the silent twilight, the purple half-light, of the twilight,

Wrapping night around me, blanket of black on my back,

I feel safe in the darkness..."

Quite simply the best chorus ever.

[BJOYKproduction]

Mac Miller - Purple > Crustation - Purple

[Shadapaga]

@BJOYKproduction j dilla purple>everything

[fireflyzlament]

@BJOYKproduction your crazy, mac miller's song is sh!t

[MrDeicide1]

Thank u 4 the upload Gavin

Cheers Mate! : )

[44MrOss44]

Won..won...wonderful !!!!

Great Song , unique Voice....

This is what Music is !!!!

Greets from Germany , "Mr.Oss" .

God bless you !!!!

[XxKANExX5]

this video is type ill..but the (master) jDilla has the best instrumental shits so deep. lol "ps this video is trippy both lyrics and video"

[myHEADisAtv]

Dilla's mix is great, but the original is my favourite song of all time.

[elbt69]

Ça manque du bon trip hop comme ça!!

[bonnie54190]

@elbt69 tu m'etonne!

[OgKris]

Only reason I'm watching this is because I've had the Dilla version on repeat for the past hour. Jay Dee smashed the original haha

[LSRproductionz]

@OgKris LOOOOOOL ygurgsygfywefsydfcty SAME STORY OVER HERE

[Shadapaga]

@OgKris lol he absolutely kills this it kind of shows how dominating hip hop can be creatively, i mean this does not come close to dillas work not at all, and yet he is stealing their voice and making magic. it is a perfect example of how powerful hip hop music is.

[ctswright]

this song is so sick!!!! beautiful, hypnotic, relaxing...

[JustinJJG24]

JDilla's mix killed it.

[theunfortunateevent]

hey! i made a video with this song with my brother... (: i'd like you to see it and tell me what you think about it (sorry for my bad english)

[KaylicksLapurps]

[eskimolexi]

[Statenskaten]

@eskimolexi THE DILLA REMIX IS THE BEST.

[rossy2791]

I love♥ this song♫

[ButterfingerBB]

love this melody. absolute love

[rhibac]

watch?v=emhNVe2TOxs&feature=re­lated

this version is better^^^ IMO

[MrStabby0]

I disagree.

[Wobbothe3rd]

RIP J dilla

Beautiful song

[ghost4doom]

@Wobbothe3rd this is not his beat

[rhibac]

i dont think dilla did this version..

[kuriosity89]

@Wobbothe3rd - J Dilla did the remix, this isn't his beat.

[DelusionsDarknezz]

Wow...

it's great! =D

[StarGlamour]

Breath of Soul.thnx uploader

[BLAndTrevor]

i started listening to this song last april and it hasnt gotten old its still my ultimate favorite song and it just happens to be my favorite color :) i feel safe in the darkness

[MrAh17]

What are the lyrics to the introduction?

[Octovixen]

I want to open the blind eyes of you, your blind gaze that shoots far at the nearest target,

that's what you do.

Stepping in the broken shards of another target, i stretch up my arms but they remain empty.

This core of darkness could go anywhere.

Its so sad i thought ??

[silentthawk]

..so sad that i thought it was normality.

[Octovixen]

thank you!!

[KingPhaRoh]

@Octovixen it was normality*

[hoodiefied808]

is she irish?

[AyeYirMa]

@hoodiefied808 definetly sounds it, has the northern irish accent like myself :D

[DominicanoThug]

j dilla's version is a 100000000000x better

[hoodiefied808]

u gotta link?

[captainjorgerules]

Dang Jay Dee should of really put that opening speech on his mix! :]

[sestes9950]

@captainjorgerules yeh. but maybe he wanted you to seek the original.

[kevingkid]

beautifully simple yet complex song.

[rjesensky]

I'm listening to this for the tenth time or so in last two hours ... that's pathetic

[Henners929292]

lol!!!! the singer used to be a teacher at my school :D

(a rubbish claim to fame, i know)

[Ecko8121]

hahaha the frist time i listened to this song it like took me to a different place lol~~~!!!

[HelegE3000]

same here xD

[elfederaleYO]

Both versions are amazing and I can appreciate both. to say one is better is to undermine the others genius, and that is disrespectful to the art form.

[Ecko8121]

OMG!! i love this song!!!!

[kjbidk]

hey alyssa!!!!!!!!!!! i <3 you!

[TheYcontrol]

I want to plant a bomb in your heart. is that emotional terrorism. hehe.

[bballer10590]

woo i love her voice

[saikoustyle]

i want to know where this band went... the music is all tthats left of their existence

[nekrophilizm]

u guys are on fucking crack, this version is a lot better than j dilla

[ReLZuNo]

well Dilla fans are naturally gonna like his version better... but seriously... Dilla's version is WAY better

[bc1391]

I'm a Dilla fan but both are equally dope to me. Depending on my mood I switch off on both tracks

[mpplaya87]

Mad Massive Attack-esque! This is dope for real, the concept of the video and everything go with the lyrics and that bass is ridiculous, but the Dilla version is unparalleled!

[NY101jah]

wtf is up wit dis video

[watwatwhywat]

it doesnt suck but jdillas remix is def better.

[UndyingSilentm]

this version SUCKSSSS!!!!!!! jay dee version is awsome

[LordFerrand]

Look up the J Dilla remix...you wont regret it....

[soulofsilence1]

Beautiful monologue as the intro.

Perfect track.

[NerfVussLee]

dude the beginning is very creepy man. but i still love this song!

[TheTrip333]

very nice

[asnierkishcowboy]

when i heard it the first thing that was coming to my mind was that it would perfectly fit as a title song for a animestyled rpg.image the hero slowly climbing a hill next to the ocean and in the back the sun sets.

a great tune.

is it well known in ..ahm the uk?

[LexyAAA]

She sounds like one of the people form "Gorillaz" ^o^

[myHEADisAtv]

XD huh!? She's Irish! Noodle/Miho is Japanese!

I don't think they sound the same but they both sound great.

[LexyAAA]

noodles a girl lol oh i didnt even know.

[sistir23]

DILLA'S REMIX IS THE BEST OF THIS

[chrisbruni]

i was thinking the same thing ..

[iemsone]

@sistir23 U RIGH JAY.D DA BEST !!!!

[lissaC1969]

If you like this band..check out passionflower, smoke city, babyfox , puracane, soma sonic..they are all same type

[markismark07]

thank you, i just looked them up, and they're just as amazing

[mzfiesty]

motion of terrorism or emotional terrorism?

[AyeYirMa]

@mzfiesty emotional terrorism (Y)

[LoungeTom]

T☺tally agree, mein Freund ;) Her v☼ice is beautiful!! 5/5 :D ♪♫♪♫

[blaintheking]

[n8cas]

[54spiritedwill54]

the greatest tune for those of us that feel safe in the darkness

[dddoughboyyy]

[jebaak]

Im in love with this song...

[jebaak]

btw...she looks a little bit like Kochanski from Red Dwarf :-D

[tutinho4ever]

trip hop!

[claue777]

ich bin begeister =)

[charis17]

if you look up the lyrics on google you'll find out.

[1234567895708]

can anyone tell me what she says in the beginning?

[DamnCanucks]

i see no poetry in your fears,

only a light of dark verses

to haunt me in the pitch of night,

and my sleepless eyes see no closing time.

i tip-toe through the black, and repercussions like percussion tap a demented melody into my head.

i would like to share this emptiness with you,

and send you a piece of this void.

i'd like to put a bomb in your heart, is that a motion of terrorism?

[wuppad]

the J DILLA version is one of the best things in the world

[Zermaa]

really true

[Lipt0nT3a]

agreed

[lesmotsvrais]

You're right !

[KILLAKINLAW459]

[mads94chappers]
