10cc - Johnny don't do it

[NOJOKESJAY]

how did DILLA do that shit man......?

[TheRoy1952]

I saw the ad for Scientology on the right side bar and thought it was a 10CC song I had never heard. The rest, though, is great music, great lyrics.

[TehSlapHappyNG]

He slowed it down. That's how he got it sounding like it did. Pretty clever. Mad props to Dilla.

[MrKeepitmovin504]

where the hell does dilla find his samples?

[dandmarcus]

can someone explain about this dilla sample and this song?

[MaDaBrownMusic]

@dandmarcus look up the dilla track called "waves" ..... he went beast mode on this sample.. the brotha was a genius ahead of his time...

[Sebulba1707]

listen closely 1.55 to 1.57 is the sample!

[Nourberry]

imagine dancing to this song with someone you have the biggest crush on...... oh God, love, love, love!!!

[SuperJynxx]

ALSO AT THE 2 03 MARK JDILLA SAMPLED THE DO IT PART FOR ANOTHER BEAT CALLED DO IT WHICH I HAVE , I THOUGH THIS BEAT WAS HOT TILL I HEARD DO IT I NEARLY LOST MY MIND

[Mikebouttbread]

@SuperJynxx i nthink its called waves not do it

[SuperJynxx]

@Mikebouttbread

WHAT I MEANT WAS THAT HE ALSO SAMPLED THE DO IT PART AT 2 03 FOR ANOTHER BEAT CALLED DO IT

[smartfkr]

OOOOO FUCK, i never really took the time to figure out that J dilla used this band for the sample in waves.... i just found out of them because their rubber bullets song. j dilla was straight just fucking plain creative. i feel you jay dee, rest in peace! god bless that whom hear real hip hop, and those whom don't as well.

[SagelHD]

Its funny how everyone is here for Dilla not this song.

[Strawberry7Lynn]

Ah, the one that wasn't a hit. Donna revisited!

[kalawasha]

ok seriously..how the FUCK did dilla flip this..no clue man...

[QuoteNotes16]

god damn dilla

[stakesource]

@QuoteNotes16 Sample them saying Johnny, while ultimately changing the pitch?.... Still clueless myself. LOL

[Jilf]

I like the face on that dudes shirt. It looks familiar.

[twofortwenty]

all i can say is wowwwww the greatest!

[cytryna90]

[cytryna90]

[GuyLaRue14]

[AsunyYi]

In waves it sounds like please johnny do it

[Dreal05starnation]

@AsunyYi thats what he is saying

[endriolazaro]

LOL... CREME!

[Beatz4Life96]

WOW......Dilla Chop this song up fr sure. R.I.P.

1:51-2:03

[insiduous123]

I love in that pic how the dude is wearing a shirt with his face on it. lol

[LABGangsters]

Who would even think to sample this?

[thickcocogrl79]

Wow, Dilla continues to amaze me, over and over again! I only knew one 10ccs' song before the donuts album. He sample Worst Band In The World from these guys too. Genius, pure genius. He ability to manipulate sounds the way he did... the intricate, and detailed craftsmanship he gave to each song is phenomenal!!! DILLA!!!! R.I.P

[5thElementArts]

Yo its so CRAZY! all of the tracks on donuts had a subliminal messages he left about his death, like in "Welcome to the Show" he sampled "Motherlode - When I Die" and "Waves" was a message to his brother John...Dilla sampled "Johnny Don't Do It" as a message meaning "John don't cry"...its like he knew he wasnt gonna make it

[f1guremeout]

@5thElementArts Of course he knew and he worked on this so hard, that the inflammation in his hands were killing him bad, all the swelling. "Donuts" was his grand opus because on so many levels, we heard his pain thru the beats, how jilted yet complex the beats were and how they jackknifed into one another only told how weary his last days were.

He was on a mission to finish Donuts with all he had. And now we have all but of a summary of who James Yancey was in "Donuts"

[TheWoozybear]

@f1guremeout word my man

[wutangdoom]

It is fucking insane how he flipped this. I would never even think to sample this. I wouldn't even notice the sample if I just heard this song playing.

[djbash914]

holy shit dilla tha MAN!!!!!!!!!!!

[jimbob1351]

THIS IS THE CRAZIEST VIDEO I'VE EVER WATCHED

[SIRnonsense123321]

JDeezy was unbelievable C;

[svendiamond]

1:51 - 2:03

[svendiamond]

@ubbitz yea the best ones are when he flips the 6/4 into the 4/4

[lindacollings]

i love this,really good

[SOULxGLO]

lol Dilla the bad influence ....Please Johnny Do It!.. Johnny Do It!.. Pleaaaaase lol crazy

[vocabthaverbalwonder]

just found an original pressing of this album today. got it for 5 bucks. steal. strangely enough, i found it at a radio shack that happens to have crates upon crates of vinyl. if thats not a crate diggers diamond in the rough then im not sure what is.

[debrai716]

Dilla flipped the fuck out this song. only an open minded person can do shit like that

[Tarastar1983]

@debrai716 you're tell me honestly Dilla is a genius I say is because his music still lives on and on and on...RIP Dilla

[endriolazaro]

Lol Song!

[depoty]

[anitashelby]

Very Coool Song!!! 5*s Thankyou...Anita..

[sunsets1977]

Awesome creative 10 cc ....... 5 stars

[spiffynikka]

dilla had a dope imagination

[Jacqueal]

I never thought about turning a waltz time signature into 4/4 until I heard Donuts. Mind you Dilla was doing that long before most people caught on. Craziness.

[Jacqueal]

This is the difference between "digging" and "dusting." And, any sample-based beat maker knows what I'm talking about.

[BlackJackNapier]

this was a COMPLETE dig....

and i say that as a lyricist, lol

[Jacqueal]

Oh, I trust you know about beats, too, BJN.

[BlackJackNapier]

I certainly hope so my dude...I'm a product of ATCQ...so I stay deep in the underground as I possibly can...

[quezs15]

I here you fam!

[BlackJackNapier]

1:52-1:57

the timetable for the genuis' work.

[domclaudevandamme]

this sample is absolutely incredible. J DILLA FOREVER

[RAW1776]

Effin Luv this song

[newyork60]

how the fucc did...? Dilla is the fuccin greatest.

[RAW1776]

Dat's what I'm sayin how did he do it ?

[limbot]

Donuts anyone?

[kabirasm]

@limbot yea please!

[str8toff]

what an ear that Dilla had...

[ThaSupaHeroReD]

such a nice tune

[manzies12]

DILLA!!

[salvadorsalvona]

wonderful 50s piss take! lol.

[knockoutguitarist087]

1:52 became one of the greatest songs in history

[Nacho66]

This is very Zappa to me.

I love it!

[heedz08]

how is the song wack if he was able to sample it and make it sound the way it does? get your mind right when it comes to opinions about music

[mrhappy19]

wow dilla good ear

[2bin]

Man, Dilla took wack and made it a tight track!

[jazzypidjay]

both tracks are fine. There's nothing wack in the 10cc song...

[LVipez]

tru, but waves is betta dan dis

[YoungB734]

Is it me or does the dude with the beard look just like mick foley from the WWF old days

[EIGGER85]

lol...hell yea

[potaluca]

To me he looks like Kevin Kline after a 3 month bender.

[jonruss56]

His name IS Kevin,Kevin Godley,the drummer. He had the highest voice in the group.

[PaulGarrack]

Kevin was the drummer thats correct but Kevin was the Low bass vocal an it was Lol Cream who took the high vocals. If your no sure pls listen to Donna recorded by Lol Cream Kevin was always Bass. Trust me I Know!.

[jonruss56]

Paul

I always thought that Graham had the bass voice,but now I seem to recall reading an interview years ago where Kevin claimed to have the highest AND the lowest singing voice. Whatever the case,they were ALL geniuses,Why they did not become superstars,I'll never know By the way,I saw the video of "Donna" and you are right about that. But check out "Don't Hang Up",for Kevin's solo and Lol's FALSETTO voice. John

[VENOMOUSBRAIN]

lol top left he does look like mick foley

[attapattapie]

this is original from rubber bullets album

[WatkinzDaGeneral]

R.I.P. J-Dilla I Love U Flipped This Sample...Salute!

[Manegi2]

I LOVE 2:04 to 2:29

[kayocampcrew]

he sampled from 1:50 to 2:05

[LongDivision8]

good ear

[wolatsim]

His ear was from God...almost missed the sample at 1:58. Retarded.

[RedNoir]

I can't believe this is the sample for waves! AMAZING! He made a great song/beat out of it.

RIP J Dilla

[bdf2718]

One of the all-time greats.

[kamesan]

I'm gonna be singing this all weekend "Johnny don't do eeeeeeeeeiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit...."

[ether04]

wow jdilla flipped this amazingly i now get what he did omg thats impossible

[zlyrikal]

I have a 10cc box set and I never noticed that Waves came from this, then again it isnt one of my favorite tracks off there, still even with the dude showing me were the sample is its still not that obvious

[YellowTexasRose90]

he changed this into "Waves"???? Complete Genius ....

[willywonka091]

how the fuck does this turn into "waves"? seriously? j dilla forever.

[f1guremeout]

@willywonka091 slowed it down, sampled it, then played back at normal speed somewhat. It's a 6-8 sec sample at 1:51, but gotdamn sounds like magic.

[hiphoplivs]

@willywonka091 1:51 to 2:04 thats the sample he took, amazing isent it? he was a great producer truely the best producer ever imo

[saxmasta240494]

@willywonka091 by splicing together different sections of the song and pitching it way down. i can hear the resemblance at some points

[hiphoplivs]

@saxmasta240494 na he patched phrased the sample, you can slow down the BPM but it wont actually slow down the recording and then he prob time pitched it or slowed it down a little he patched phrased alot of the shit on donuts

[YuhBoiAD]

yeah i just remade this in fl stduio, you have to stretch the sample down(not the tempo) then pitch it down to about 250 cents

[shanethecowboy]

Yeah. supposedly he made waves with an mpc and garageband. It also sounds like he cut it up and reversed it in sections.

[JVDdub]

The sample is right around 1:50

RIP Dilla

J Dilla Forever

[pgrbeast2]

Yes, Only Dilla

[smellslikeburntass]

watch kidowl make waves uesing this song. its pretty awesome

[robsmiles]

Now thats what I called DIGGIN'. If I was the first to find that record and sampled it. I would bug out! Only Dilla.

[BLOWKiSSESx100]

johnny; dont do it!

[ZincBoss]

Haven't heard this in 36 years. Now I know why. Wasn't one of their best, more like Donna pt2.

[Slyder1982]

You kiddin? this song kind of goes hand in hand with Donna, it's one of their best IMO.

[antonioallowishes]

Just insane how one could turn a pile of ish into some real live music!!!

[ChemistOn3]

he must have slowed that shit down when he cut it up

[stevelaxton]

do it, do it again,so gooood!!!!!!!!!

[stanford148]

you should post that "Worst Band in the World" by 10cc

[incrediblecHiller]

oh really? you think the "video" sucks?

idiot...

[RobBob420]

lol

10cc are jokes....

its so obvious....

[kidowl]

once you figure out how he flipped it, mad easy to pound out on the pads...

[jumboking36]

aww shit, dilla was crazy..nobody could have flipped this sample like he did it...incredible, BUT there are even better songs on donuts...due to that its one of the best albums ever

[tswift098]

yeah he used the break at 1:50

[ThomasPolish]

how the fuck did he do it

[colesterol]

my guess is he used the break @ 2:00

[thexrealxASK1]

j dilla is super human with wax , he can hear stuff that us mortals can not , rip

[figuremeout]

yes yes, i cant believe im hearing this...omg, he took THAT? omg, real genius to hear THAT..

J Dilla forever, fans keep waving the flag for his music...

[funkysideofcake]

wow, dilla killed with this song. don't know how he did it.

[funkysideofcake]

wow, dilla killed with this song. don't know how he did it.

[MFredMS]

i think he played the end part of dont do it in reverse.

[kamesan]

co-sign

[kidowl]

[schmerzy]
