  • Look at how Dilla's music transcended race, class, economics, beliefs and pulled these INCREDIBLY talented people together to honor HIM...look at how music never dies...Dilla sampled from earlier artists, and making it his own, then he get HIS music taken to a ENTIRELY different level!!!

  • If you haven't already,check out Georgia Ann Muldrow's remix of this....it's such a neck breaker!

  • It's amazing when your language is spoken doors are opened up to new things. Suite for Ma Dukes is an Orchestra led by Miguel Atwood Ferguson... they did a tribute to one of Hip Hop's greatest producers J Dilla (RIP). Opened up my ears... enjoy!!!

  • This is what music is about, dilla was a genius, and him and his music will always be timeless, and that's why we can describe him as a genius. I hope one day people will wake up from the mainstream nightmare, and start making good music again. Dilla we thank you for sharing your talent with the world.

    beautiful composition

  • Ever since I was a kid I wanted to eventually reach a high enough level of consciousness to be able to write and arrange something like this...

  • THIS IS EXACTLY WHY I LOVE AND SUPPORT YOUTUBE...WITHOUT YOU TUBE WHO WOULDVE EVER KNOWN THERES A WHOLE OPERA RENDITION OF DILLAS MUSIC!! THIS IS BEAUTIFUL!!!

  • @limbrick29 I stumbled upon it almost by accident, I was broke, but I was showing my friend an HMV, since he's new in London. When I realized what I'm looking at I borrowed 10£ and got even more than I expected - I can quite confidently say, for the first time in my life, after hearing this - Suite for Ma Dukes is my favorite album and my favorite concert DVD.

  • Bruce Willis on the flute.... everything about this entire DVD is magic, even the booklet.

  • @SkateSka wow did'nt notice Bruce Willis, now this is crazy.

  • A return to the essence of the culture. From the Bronx to South central to Chicago to the ATl. and world wide. Re-created by unconventional means for eternity. Life feels a little easier after listening to this rendition, many times we say peace and blessings but I achieved peace through the blessing of this piece.

    Peace,

    K.A.

  • That was incredible. RIP Dilla.

  • Wow, just wow...J Dilla is a Hip-Hop Icon. To put an orchestra together to re-create his music is mindblowing...Amazing tribute!!!!

  • I heard about the CD being released but I couldn't wait so I bought the MP3 version. After hearing the first note I was speechless. Then I had to have the dvd which Iwill get but thanks to youtube I am able to witness a beautiful tribute to the LATE GREAT "J DILLA". Im not an emotional man but the rendition brought me to tears. J Dilla....the greatest of all time,. Rest in peace kid.

  • i feel sorry for the new generation who missed such great legends as J Dilla! this is truely uplifting... R.I.P

  • @ThaILLaPiNo No need for anyone to miss out on Dilla as his catalogue is there for all to find and always will be. R.I.P. JD.

  • I know Miguel's really into it, but he must've been reeeeeeeeally hard to follow on this song.

  • I remember when I heard "Untitled" for the first time. I almost ran off the road in amazement. I've bought Vol.2 more times than any other album I own. And I own A LOT of albums. R.I.P Jay Dee.
