Illa J - My Brother's Keeper {Part 1}

[snubbs741]

"and yes I swing my bling it ain't related to the music"

sure he isnt on some crazy philosophical ish but he is dope, got a good voice(doesn't overdo it), and his flow fits his bro's beats.

now I wanna see a Illa J/Erykah collab

[cheezeluver4]

illa j is one of my favorite rappers. so shutt the fuck up

[TheMonhas]

the kid is mad dope. everything i look up for in a mc

[559LOSO]

illa j > Drake

[WARSHIPSATIN999]

@559LOSO Anything else you'd like to point out? Is the sky blue today?

[559LOSO]

@WARSHIPSATIN999 YEA YOUR MOM :p

[mmayad]

@559LOSO wait are you saying they look alike? i really dont find they do.

[Shadapaga]

that fucking song sounds like love is a classic, one of jays best beats ever, it is a master piece in hip hop music.

[komjong]

Dilla was the Hendrix of hip hop...Glad you stepped up for your brother on " Wont do"... That was one of the hardest hip hop songs I ever listened to. The depth of that song is unlike anything I've heard. J Dilla had a beautiful mind. He created music that touched your mind in ways words could not explain. You knew with your heart and mind the minute you heard it. R.I .P Dilla Thanks for the gifts

[TheNarmer2]

One Love R.I.P Bro !! a hip hop genius is gone !!!

[inbetweenthemirror]

OH! I saw the Pharcyde up in there! Boy got good taste! Dont diss!

[SwaggerLikeUz]

I was a Fan since 95' not just tha last couple of Years ..Yo, ILLA J Rock on brother on the "Yancey Boys Album" ..it gave me chills on some of the Tracks. Yea it wasnt the most Lyrical verse ever, but that Shit was on Point!! They sound so much alike "ILLa J" reminds me of when Jaydee was apart of "Slum Villiage", they have the same Voice. When your Brother is J Dilla its hard not to want to get into music, and "Word Up" ..that Yancey boy Album was the shit!! ..Over anything on my radio

[seboufdu59]

he got the smile of his brother, RIP Dilla

[bboystealth88]

all though illa j isnt the hottest MC i kno...

but i give that cat mad respect for takin such a challenge on...

to be honest i would be scarred as shiz to spit on such a legendary producers beat..

think about it..

think about how much that took to actually release such an album..

stop hatin yall..give him time to perfect his art..

[aprilmarco]

Why Can't I find this CD anywhere? This album is so dope.

[chulk607]

He seems like a really cool guy.

[mpplaya87]

That is so BANANAS! Dude said beats that he recorded to in 2008 were laid down some 13 yrs ago! Do y'all have any idea how coconuts that is?!?!? Dilla's material from almost 15 yrs ago is more bangin' then shit that's out today in this commercial world we live in. It's almost unfathomable. Nowadays even though Homie ain't wit us no more, he's still everywhere, ubiquitous! I'm still tryin to rap my brain around that! I wish you the best Illa my dude, I know Dilla is lookin down proud as ever!!!

[chulk607]

@mpplaya87

Agree 100%!

[Ynazzra67]

He just has the cutest face!

I'm so happy that Dilla lives on through the love of his family and fans!

[sacmasta]

HIP HOP IS ALIVE AND WELL PEOPLE!!! /watch?v=BFKGzQRS5G8

[rodney2010]

[EdiBlazE]

[STACkS1013]

This album still bumps in my earphones after a year. Much support from my end bro keep doin it illa RIP J dilla

[RadReese73]

i cant believe this!!... All this time and I'm just finding out Illa J is Dilla's brother... I've always thought damn this young dude look and sound just like J Dilla ever since I saw that 'Wont Do' video. I never knew his name was Illa J... damn I feel a bit illiterate right about now. And I actually hung out with Dilla on an occasion or two, makes it even worse!

[drmad21]

where? when? you lucky one :O !

[RadReese73]

Whole crew is kool... was dealing with the label on prospective work in early 2000 in Detroit and Toronto... shout out 2 Waajid, Frank& Dank, the whole SV crew and Dwele, cant forget the rest of the Barak family and mah man Tim...!

[KillenEMsoftly]

his album seems really soulful, i wish i knew where to find it so i can buy it

[DagoRamirez88]

I wonder why he waited so long...

I would have been making beats if I was in the Yancey family lol

[trueJB00]

illa j actually improved he was featured on a new sv song that was produced by FOCUS look it up 2009 song

[FRESHCOOLAIDE]

There's SOME dudes runnin' around You Tube.......I swear...

They will tell you that that's illa J on vocals for "Won't Do". And You CANNOT make em' believe different.

They need to see this.

[EscoToTheMax]

whats the name of that song at 1:38??

[skaterdie23]

showtime by illa j

[ProductOfThe80s90s]

to me he better then drake and kid cudi at singin and rappin but folks these days will take the other two more cause they need drake and t-pain to get some ass ha which is sad.

[Arthanza]

Keep tha torch lit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tobie1357]

r.i.p j.dilla and illa j fuck the person who just should illa j today

[sadsky1]

we might of lost j dilla,but we got the next best thing....illa j

[BlackisBeautiful]

Why are people downing Illa J cause of his lyrics? You can see that hes like an MC thats starting out which in my opinion is good cause you can witness his growth as an MC. At least he aint on that Lil Wayne Commercial bullshit, give the boy a chance!

[heykevinb]

@BlackisBeautiful cause people can be shit faced donkeys.  illa J is there and they're behind not a 808, casio, mic, sound board...they're behind a damn dirty ass keyboard. just hating. all during which they are fiddling with their inadequate pilly-packer.

...that's why.

[ezwelchman]

@BlackisBeautiful if he wasnt dilla's brother....no one (including you) would be saying "give this kid a chance"...

[kihro]

@BlackisBeautiful you right but he still suck, but shit i suck so, theirs always getting better

[BlahZayy1190]

Illa J has got some pressure being Dilla's younger brother...not saying we should grade his music by comparison of Dilla's, its just a little hard because theres gonna be people out there "expectin" a certain sound from Illa J.

[VicMcFlySmith]

What Is The Name of That Song PLayin' At The End of The Interview

[MerryMargarita]

Illa J - Sounds Like Love feat Debi Nova

[FUFALLGTBKUPNRDE]

Maybe if you waxed out your ears and take another listen, you'd realize it's not garbarge. I just don't think you're fully ready for this yet.. In time you'll catch on.

[tbizzle1221]

for as calculated as he made the music making process sound, his rhymes were garbage.

[7185253418]

He's not garbage, I think you are garbage.

[soundproofin101]

word !!

KEEP THE GENERATION OF JDILLAS FLOW

R.I.P J DILLA

[azylum21]

It's amazing how the yancey boys instrumental tracks were made in '95 and they bang hard in 2009. Just shows how amazing J Dilla was and how much ahead of his time. That's CRAZY!!!

R.I.P J Dilla ---ONE---

[MrsBWalker]

My bro John! I luv u & miss u & yo First Church fam miss u in tha D. Dont be a stranger & Keep doin it big! RIPJames ♥

[namkooc]

[kwabena89]

everybody should buy a copy of the "yancey boys" lp to support the ones who deserve money off dilla's work the most....his family!

YOU WON'T REGRET IT IT'S REALLY DOPE, ILLA J DEF GOT SUM SKILLZ ON THE MIC....kinda remind me of dilla:D

[heymaria123]

how u get it this illa? jk

[swingsoulajazz]

love it

[beatartisan]

so i take it.. dilla basically 'produced' illa's album with unreleased beats from 95?

[ansomthebeboy]

they were beats that dilla personally gave the owner of delicious vinyl during the pharcyde labcabincalifornia era... so it definitely has the jay dee (before j dilla) sound

[Ayplus]

@ansomthebeboy t

[GoonzProductions]

wicked, i like this guy! i got to get his albums
