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!!! I love music...energy & vibration never dies
This made me tear up too! I'm going through so much right now and feel so unsettled...and this brought an ease over me. Like a message through chords to just breathe and relax. Makes me thankful to just be alive!
(((+Magnificent+ I pray that lil wayne, nicki minaj & rick ross find their way 2 this magic like we did...+MUSIC+ WoW!))) A moment of silence 4 J Dilla................(((One Love)))
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!!!
You got to listen to this in some good headphones and just let the music enter you brain and tap into all your emotional connections. You will be so happy you will cry.
Reminds me of The Natural Spiritual Orchestra, i.e. Spike Lee's daddy's ensemble who initially did the scores for his movies. Such dopeness in both orchestras.
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.
1:02-1:18. That's how Dilla's drums make you FEEL. Visceral moment. I've NEVER seen a conductor do that... But how else does one communicate that feeling? #classic
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.
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.
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 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.
OMG!!! WIth mouth wide open, sitting on the floor with legs folded, in ultimate trans, mystified, in utter amazement, TOTALLY BLOWN AWAY!!! NOW, this is how you give Praise to James "Jay Dilla" Yancey. God bless that god!
My goodness I am soooooooooo in love with this track right now, as much I like classical music with hiphop I have to say, that damn this right here, man words can't explain it cuz even Dilla would be proud to here this.
That,s crazy I am listening to one of j dilla joints right now title won,t do , my god this is a beautiful thing , the brother blessed us with some real hip hop.
Okay!!! I just went f-in nuts on 95th & Harvard as soon as the 1st note played. Then I got on the bus nodding my head crazier than Rainman! This is beautiful enough 2 make Dilla shed tears from heaven... -The Connoisseur
AAAWWW this is is AMAZING crying like a new born!!! Felt the love and how much he'll be missed.... Blessings
