[ncstateofmind]

[djbuzzword]

Nice to hear the man talk.

[ysk1d]

@djbuzzword You can also see him talk. This is the audio version. Search for the video version. You won't hear all the beats though.

[goredsox1792]

man i jsut got into dilla over the past like 2 weeks. i see myself being seriously addicted for SOO LONG, donuts and ruff draft are outta this world i just wanna take it all in hes such an inspiration

REST IN BEATS J DILLA

[immasuperninja]

@goredsox1792 hey another bandwagon jumper-onner lol, check out some of his old shit and check out some other underground shit

[robbiebalboa]

1:23 anyone know that beat ?

[tomatosoup24]

@robbiebalboa it's called fantastic it was for slum village

[FieldingYost]

thank you for posting this, -Ive heard lots of music over the years and Dilla is def my favorite artist

[drezred]

go ladies interlude beat

[cletedawgthewalmart]

wats this beat playin?

[godswiph]

I think the beat at the top is a breakbeat from the Slum Village Fantastic Vol. 2.

[qaiken]

tip is sick tho

[SoFarTwoGo23]

Gosh every J-dilla video i see of him or hear of him makes me cry and being 16. i came late on the Early J-Dilla Beats. But I Love J-Dilla R.I.P

[Ty13245]

No doubt i feel the same way

[ak562]

lol tupac diddnt steal it, his original track was called "Sucka For Love" w/ a diff beat. "Do For Love" with the dilla sample was released AFTER he died

[Strelk0v]

Diila лучший продюсер, благодаря ему началась новая эра хип хопа, neo soul хип хоп.

его хип хоп вдохновляет.

[trueJB00]

what happened really between slum and j dilla?

[MattsFernandes]

they fell out. baatin wanted to do his own thing if i remember correctly. he's made and album but i think it wasn't very good.

[Schmooveness]

what about "2pac - do for love"

maybe its the same uncredit problem like the janet jackson song

[kevinthedude77]

did dilla produce do for love by 2pac?

[UltraDOG17]

he just made the song 4 Tupac

[DigitalEdition]

nah man he didnt, them dudes "Soulshock & Karlin" produced it.

Although they heavily sampled the Dilla remix for The Pharcyde's "Y" track, so he probably deserved a credit somewhere.

[usucka]

nah... tupac actually stole that beat from dilla...

[LifeOfAnOutlaw]

Nope tupac didn't stole that beat. Do 4 love is a remix of tupac's original version sucka 4 love. his mom stole it :P

[lilsharkhunter]

No you see what happened was Dilla remixed a Pharcyde track called Y? (Jay Dee Remix) and then some no name producer flipped the same sample the same exact way for Tupac's do for love. Compare them and see.

[deloyisme]

What's the exact date this interview was taken?? please lemme know! thanks in advance!

[bboystealth88]

word up man...

if u a producer u should all ready kno u need to be knockin shiz out 24/7.....

[decline6]

[hakayobeq]

The illest producer ever,RIP dilla

[bboystealth88]

inspiring...R.I.P dilla..dilla changed my life yall..

[wdchr]

[jjbro1]

he died of cardiac arrest

[etnikgrounds]

slum village - fantastic

rip dilla

[djdreamproductions]

what is the name of the beat at 1:24???  anyone???

[SANKOFA1]

It's off a cut he made with slum village...Their Fantastic Voyage lp

[Y0UT0083]

It's the intro track (#1) from Fantastic Vol. 1...(sans Voyage)...

[Kboogie4life]

This "Got 'Til It's Gone" Remix is my ABSOLUTE Favorite Janet Remix. I dig the original A LOT, but I live 4 this remix right here. I especially love how Janet & Q-Tip are having a conversation throughout the entire song. Listen closely...it's ill!

[kpva0719]

see this is my reason why i love my nigga dilla because he makes that good soulful magnificent crazy words can't describe beats for real........

[cosmologics]

What I love most about this is hearing his passion. You can hear his love of the art and his music is beautiful......

[alexfreddy]

WOW, such good audio of the MAN.  brings a tear to my EYE

[jjpazguevara]

"Music can't leave you wrong." Jay Dee

[woogleslap]

i atleast hope dilla, tip, and ali got paid for the janet joint.

[hivcrew847]

jimmy jam and terry can eat a fat dick for taking credit for that janet joint!

those bitch ass niggas

[icwo]

he knew what people wanted to hear. RIP J Dilla.

[topdogkiller]

the beat at the end is pretty sick. I've had it stuck in my head for a long time. Does anyone know the actual beat.

[havoctjedi]

"Here We Come" from Old Donuts

prob. my favorite dilla track ever, i get a weird feelin when i hear it cause i can just slow down and listen..

[decline6]

Speaking of Old Donuts, Prince and 80's was the nastiest joints on there to me.

[lachon91]

word 80s off old donuts was so sick i had to spit to it

[heymaria123]

so jimmy n terry are the "no namers"?!?

[2FRsoul]

Yup, no need for him to even say "no names." Jim and Terry have been working with Janet since 1953 BC

[sweettechnique]

can sum1 tell me the name of the 1st track

[locoman071]

hey, that track is an intermission track - don't know the name of it but it's on SV Fantastic Vol.2.

[Blockvalue]

I only learned bout that Janet "issue" like last month I'm only 22...but even when that track came out and people were sayin terry & jimmy produced it I thought "riiiiight away buddy".....sounded too much in the same vein of various other neo-soulesque ting-tings I was on at the time (Dilla involved in most of em)

r.i.p

[djdreamproductions]

someone please tell me what the song is at 1:24. i had this on a tape i recorded off of future flavas on hot 97 back in like 98. please help

[experance]

q-tip stealing? you know that they had a production crew called Ummah? q and dilla where tight ass hell

[hustlaave]

EXACTLY. The Ummah was a music production collective, composed of members Q-Tip and Ali Shaheed Muhammad of A Tribe Called Quest, and the late Jay Dee (also known as J Dilla) of the Detroit based group Slum Village. Occasional members included Raphael Saadiq, and D'Angelo.

[FredGuadalupe]

but the prod. credit wasn't The Ummah, it was Q-Tip...thats why if you look on the credits on Like Water For Chocolate it says "Produced by Jay Dee for the Ummah"

[liquidswords1988]

he didn't neccessarily steal...more like...failed to give true credit for people's work

[mhz313]

that picture was taken at the great CAR CITY RECORDS 8 1/2 MILE AND HARPER IN ST CLAIR SHORES MI. RIGHT OUTSIDE THE D!!!!

BIG UP TO PAT DIGGIN CRATES

MEGA HERTZ

[wdchr]

good shit

[BrendaChu]

I LOVE DILLA.

I LOVE MADLIB.

I LOVE METAFORM.

Thats all.

[bklynsgc718]

Medaphor...You love Medaphor.

[DZA9mm]

lol!

[wadallya]

no mf doom love he my favorite

[dillalove90]

the beat that starts at 1:23 is ill

love the mellow shit

dilla dawg!!

[alxnumsayn]

fantastic interlude 1 on the slum village album vol.1

[ThaStickMystro]

how old was Dilla when he first started making beats?

[010les]

he was younger then 18 when he began

from his 18 he began using the mpc and the rest is history

[FredGuadalupe]

check out amp fiddler. i heard he was credited with giving dilla his first mpc.

[TyKnowsMusic101]

Q tip....Was Stealin From Tha Great Dilla ...I Lost A Lil Respect for him from dat ... cuz Tip make good beats witout lying ...but fuck it Dilla's Work Timeless and trust its more to come i can feel it

[theOfficialQTIP]

no way did i ever steal anything!!!! dont get it twisted..... ne- ver. please.. for clarity.. the ummah was a collective. it was the thing back then . the goodfellas, trackmasters, ect... we was coming as a collective. there is not one piece of music out there that says produced by q-tip for the ummah and it was a dilla track. i never wanted anything to say produced by qtip or ali or dilla . we was trying to build the name of the unit. look at the 1st 3 tribe albums. doesnt say prod by tip

[ysk1d]

Word up Tip! Kids check this interview without really listening to what Dilla says. It were Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis that got the prod credits for Got Til It's Gone. Your name was on it too, but that's for the vocals. Also, he says people THOUGHT you did all the beats you rhymed over. Even when it said produced by the Ummah. But it doesn't really matter, since the true fans also read the real names to figure out who did what. Peace Y'skid (the interviewer but where the hell are my credits? haha)

[jdashie]

dogg that not really q tip you r talking too..thats a fan posing as q tip...so naive...LMAO

[BilallFallah]

yo that's tip. no fuckin doubt.

[BilallFallah]

Yo Tip, true! word! I fuckin understand ! and yo, the Ummah shit was ill. So funky and soulfull... plus it's an arabic word, for community. Brothers , family! y'all made beats under one name... to promote shit. Like I do with video's under the name MARIFA ARTS. :p .

[KipSmithers81]

Holy shit Q-Tip actually responded to these fuckin know-nothing idiots making up shit and posting shit just so they could act like they know whats REALLY goin on behind the music.

Don't sweat these Johnny-come-latelies, Tip--they ain't shit.

[killabeez108]

no bs should be written onna dilla comment section, hes one of the greatest and as a producer there is no possible way tip is better tip is a greta producer dont get me wrong but dilla??? cmon man lets be real now,,,,rip dilla, enough of the nonsense at least not onna dilla track...fuckin dick head

[killabeez108]

not at all... noone can lace a smooth track like dilla dogg...

[nemesis700]

i dont think theres any track smoother then bonita applebum

[killabeez108]

yeah, u r rigth sctually, u got me there, n im not being sarcastic at all...good looks, but i do like dilla more as a producer...

[dilliei]

@nemesis700 ya ur entitled to ur opinion. but it's pretty clear that you havent listened to a dilla beat yet. check him out sometime

[SCHMOOVNESS]

ask q-tip about dilla. one thing he would tell you is, that dilla is clearly the better producer.

[nemesis700]

that type of thing is subjective

[SCHMOOVNESS]

yeah...if tip is for you the better one, its just your oppinion

[Munoz783]

tell em like it is Tip

[blockymock]

@theOfficialQTIP wtf are you the real qtip.

[CanvassBlack]

@theOfficialQTIP whatever man. I thought you were the truth until you went solo and went the jiggy route

and made vibrant thing. You had a fur coat on!!!!!!!Phife said in an interview that he and you use to have arguments in the studio because he wanted to keep making hip hop and you was on some pretty boy shyt.

[gepettowins]

@CanvassBlack hey guess what man? no one gives a fuck what you think.

[CanvassBlack]

@gepettowins shut up white male groupie. Why did you feel the need to respond to a comment that wasn't directed at you? It's the groupie in you that gets pissed off anytime somebody says something about a rapper you admire. Get a life and maybe a girlfriend and stop being so emotional over another man's opinion.Qtip does not give a flying fuk about you.

[foetwintee]

whats that beat from at the end ???

[JAYLIB03]

Common went under questloves wing for "Like water 4 choc" and introduced him to Dilla. It was history from there.

[drumatic]

whatchu talkin' bout...Jay Dee didn't touch Common's Ressurection... that was NO ID and Dug Infinite. Unless you're referring to some random remix joint...........

[misterbombay]

What a piss off that Q-tip was getting the cred for Dilla's stuff. Thats some weak prop-stealing/mis-credit. I guess karma caught up to tip when ATCQ ended.

[davellee3978]

Yo MAMMAL... J dilla was known for sampling. But he was really known. for tweaking the sounds he took from a record.... He was able to make Completely new sounds... Check out

COMMON-RESURRECTION -I think the first

album CAN I BORROW A DOLLAR.... and most Slum Village.SICK YO

RIP DILLA

[bigakphuku]

No ID produced Ressurection and Can I Borrow A Dollar not Dilla

[DZA9mm]

hahaha.. wow davellee3978 you need to step your game up.

[BXMammal]

No disrespect to Dilla, but whenever I hear his tracks, they sound sample free. I hear the moog and fat basslines.

[chooch24]

Dilla does sample, but he had the ability to chop it up so much that it was near unrecognizable

[burninfresh]

You are fucking dumb. You obviously never listened to Donuts or pretty much his whole catalog. Douchebag

[DZA9mm]

fool, calm the fuck down..

dilla was a pro at all of that shit...

no need the shit yourself, tryin to yell at people..

[bigpoo313]

j dilla/frankndank/cakeboys/fdr.­...detroit

[aesop730]

nope nothing reported between em and dilla ... slum and proof had something and " players " on fantastic vol2 was a diss towards proof and his boys .

[PlanBeats]

have you heard 5 elementz - the album that time forgot

dilla was in a crew with proof

[CasWreckinCrew]

i hope not......eminem is a chump(shitt as fuk)....RIP Dilla

[spurts]

Word to that. Dilla was the the heavyest ever.

I'm white. Eminem, regardless of where he's white or black is a fucking fake cunt.

Eminem swears by his own beats which are SHIT. Eminem shouldn't be let 200 yards near a drum machine.

RIP Dilla, one of the most amazing, Pete Rock, Primo, DIlla - My daily shit man.

[14mm2]

word up nigga. peace son.

[010les]

eminem is a lyrical maniac sooo watch what you say

eminem and dilla cant be compared

not in beats and not in rhymes

[spurts]

Well, I dare say that he's not going to come to England and rap at me so I'll say what I want dude!!

The guy's a heavy rapper, no doubt. BEATS?? You're right, there's no comparison, Dilla wins 100,000000 times.

Em says he produces tracks. He doesn't programme the beats, he doesn't play any instruments. He gets other people to do it and calls it producing.

Even with everyone else doing that for him, 'his' beats are still pathetic at best.

[immasuperninja]

@spurts production doesnt necessarily mean you make it, it means creative control, eminem is shitty anyways lol

[WARSHIPSATIN999]

@immasuperninja Yeah, there are many great producers that don't play instruments. What makes a music producer great is the music they produce. Doesn't matter what they use to produce the music, just as long as they produce it. It's an art, people use many different tools for it. J Dilla was special because he could play several instruments and produce the greatest beats.

[immasuperninja]

@spurts look up production it doesnt always mean making the beats and programming it production is just creative control over projects yes Em is whack as fuck but that doesnt make him not the producer. jay dee one of the greatest no doubt

[CanvassBlack]

@spurts I agree that em sucks as a producer but you immasuperninja is right about production. You dont have to lift one finger to be considered a producer. Just provide direction. Do you think Dr Dre really plays those instruments on his tracks? He hires musicians with Luis Resto being the man musician many times.

[thedtp123]

@010les fool you're retarted

[Davemo69]

hey can i ask if anything ever went down between dilla n eminem bein from the same city and bein as good as they are ?? and knowin that respect went back n forth btween dilla porter and proof

[Nypstar]

J Dilla was the added soul behind so many artist, almost like the wind underneath their wings - he was the best period. If J was part of it; I'd take my ass to the store and buy it all of the time, because he is purely consistent quality ... RIP JD.

[bruindodger]

what's the first instrumental?

[majesticlaine]

the 1st instrumental initially appeared on one of Dilla's 1st beat cds around 94-95. it was added at the end of "Go Ladies" on Fantastic Vol. 2

[standupanger]

Does anyone know the name of and where I can get that track of J Dilla in this interview: "What's up wit you/You look and Stare/I see you took it there" and etc..that song was Ny-ICE!

[00majid00]

That song is called "2U4U". It's on Slum Village's "Fantastic Volume 1" album.

[Ugabugar12]

sup y'all??? I can't believe how goddamn stupid niggers are.

[standupanger]

Well that is because you are too goddamn stupid yourself. So once you come to terms with your own stupidity, then you might be able to understand why niggers are so goddamn stupid.

[yeehee3b]

I am not stupid. By 'niggers' do you mean black people? Why are they stupid?

[standupanger]

If you are referring to my response to that asshole's post about why niggers are so stupid...Just to let you know; I am Black myself and if you look in the dictionary Nigger can mean Dark Skinded person so Black people are Niggers in that specific Dictionary text. Skin color it doesnt go deeper than that, in how i was saying it but yea it is a horrible word and I am not stupid either.

[yeehee3b]

So please my perhaps freind. If you are black then be cool about it n dont abuse people by saying 'nigger'- honestly viewed regardless of colour as about the most offensive thing to say. Honestly, sorry to teel you.

[standupanger]

Who did I abuse?

[LuigiBo87]

That's some bogus shit!

[TailsRocK]

RIP J Dilla

[pikahsso]

damn this was a good interview thanks for posting it...VERB

[WeNeedaLittleSass]

dilla ist der killa. freakin niggas got my cock in a vice. real nigga shit like will smith pumpin out my dick free style

[Dre3]

[Beachcomber95]

[Exp185]

"Nodody does it Illa than Dilla"

[VanTanna]

R.I.P. Dilla- The Absolute Best!!

[KaiSupreme]

Jay Dilla Thank you for keeping the HipHop alive for all them years and all the people Jay Dee aka J Dilla worked with i have listen to all my life and did not know until just a few years ago he was the mastermind behind all of them so of course i dug deeper to find more and more joint produced by J Dilla. When he got sick i got sick and when he passed on i cried like i was kicked in the heart. He was just too young to leave us. Hip Hop will never be the same.

[djmecc1]

Rip J Dilla

[Africarolina]

dude...thank u so much for this...u r the man for this u dig?

[ericdajerk]

thanks fore uping

[razorSE15]

Never get to hear him speak. Anyhow R.I.P. once again.

[thenewb]

damn jimmy jam + terry lewis took credit got till its gone

[KarmalBeauty]

This business can be CROOKED AS HELL! That beat was THE ILLEST ONE ON HER ALBUM! (Velvet Rope)

[firehehe]

*shakes head* How could they, in good conscience, do such a thing.  What a shame.

[ab0181]

dilla speaks non-stop wisdom. rest in beats

[d1lla]

Good work mate, love it

[Occlusion]

Nice one for upping this mate!
