J Dilla - Illasoul (Instrumental)

[chicity37]

I grew up listening 2 tha best of the best in hip hop and my whole life I have never had a good convo wit some1 about hip hop especially this dark era of hip hop (Swagster era). I realized how many ppl actually know who Dilla is and knows good hip hop when I read these comments.We are keeping it alive

[tsishells777]

My favorite Jay Dee period is the Ummah era.This reminds me of it. Takes me back to the lunchroom freestyles with the boombox. We used to geek out to Dillas shit in my homies Sentra on the way to the Mall. His beats ate the soundtrack to my teemage life.

[BeastNation2009]

I can listen to this beat all day. I had to come back to this video.

But REALLY? TLC DRUMS?......Dayam, Dilla. I love these kind of beats. He borrows a known beat pattern and goes the other direction with it.

Example: "Won't Do"

James Dewitt Yancey, another reason to be glad my name is James.

[piero27boateng]

the "don't like" bar tells all about this

[abdulazi1]

[JMVEntertainment]

dear younger generation:

fuck wayne, fuck soulja, fuck minaj, fuck waka, fuck gucci

[TommyCalantonio]

@JMVEntertainment Im part of that generation and J dilla crushes all of them combined..even when he mainly produces beats, he still has better lyrics.

[JMVEntertainment]

@TommyCalantonio thank god, you've see the light through great production :)

[TommyCalantonio]

@JMVEntertainment And i'm 14, i write music too but im not gonna publicize myself, but J dilla will always have more soul than anyone in hip-hop, along with Pete Rock, in my opinion

[geeman856]

soulful

[Mikizzle15]

Dilla and Pete Rock are two of my favorite producers EVER in LIFEEE!!!

[NellStalgya]

Dilla always been sick with the basslines,always made them bouncy

[danglingfruit13]

I love this. j dilla represents the height of hip hop beat production..don't see this type of stuff much anymore although flylo, pete rock and some others still hold it down. RIP JayDee

[CPJ81783]

Off topic: Does that cover kind of favor Dwayne Wade? Thumbs up if you think the same thing. R.I.P J Dilla an inspiration for my productions still learning from the greats hopefully I can take the torch one of these days. DJ Premier, Pete Rock, Dr Dre, Madlib, Havoc, DJ Uneek, NO I.D, D.I.T.C, Alchemist, 9th Wonder, RZA, and Just Blaze are all great influences to me, be on the look out. "Hip Hop Ain't Dead, It Just Ain't Being Heard" Death to Hip Pop.

[loungarounda]

do, dowop, wobbles than it drops, dilla hits it,, in just the right spot, r.i.p. ur name remains in a spot locked an chained to the middle of the top of the game, the best kept secret when i heard people peep it, i was eating packs of purple peppers,didnt think twice, if the beats an the rhymes are nice, , all nite, blunts find light, get lit. mind takes flight, so i spit, sometimes i slip but write my wrongs not the words my songs, i heard a monster named dilla snuffed king kong an ate godlizza

[RITCHIEXL]

I,m lovin it so much feelin in Dilla,s beats.

Dilla for ever

[wherearemybones2]

pete rock's influence on jd is heard in this song

[NaughtyPanda2]

@wherearemybones2 Yeah sounds a bit like Play this only at night

[JMVEntertainment]

@NaughtyPanda2 this almost sounds like paying homage to pete rock and i just noticed that this sounds like 'play this only at night'

[cavaleer]

@wherearemybones2 Respect to Pete Rock but Dilla was making his sound around the same time if not before. Rock said Dilla was "the only producer as serious about this as me..."

[AVINbeats]

@cavaleer

Nah, Pete Rock was making beats before Dilla. PR started in '87, Dilla started in '93.

From an interview with Pete Rock: "He let me know how much he was influenced by me. His mother pulled me to the side and whispered, 'you are his favorite'. He was really humble. We could call each other anytime. Dilla would inspire me at times when I couldn’t make a beat."

They were good friends, and both are on each other's top 5 favorite producers.

[cavaleer]

@AVINbeats Great quote and info and it's good to know they were close and had respect. But I don't know that Pete Rock had his 'sound' all that much before Dilla. He may have been making beat since '87 but the question would be when did he craft that Pete Rock sound? To me, if anything, Pete Rock was the only cat doing something that resonated with Dilla then Dilla took it to an entirely different level. To be honest, Dilla did what I expected PR to do. "What's Next On the Menu" is still my fav

[AVINbeats]

@cavaleer 87 was when PR stared making beats professionally. PR said he started DJing at 7 and got into beats as a teen. He made "Mecca & The Soul Brother" in 92, a year before Dilla got into the industry (93). As you prob know, that album essentially defines "his sound" of jazzy/funk beats (aka TROY). So based on that, I would say PR "got his sound" before Dilla. J definitely took it to another level though, and influenced PR afterwards. "What's Next..." is dope! Thats a rare joint, good looks.

[cavaleer]

@AVINbeats Good points and GREAT info. Happy Holidays.
