[lostinthoughtkid215]

very dope. moka only also flips a sample from this.

[stoinge]

yep yeah

[dankpizzle77]

NICEEEE HOMIE

[undermisensiOPC]

this plays on my alarm clock every morning..great start to my day

[faintmelody]

I love everything about this beautiful tune except the drums ... wish they sounded more organic like in the original beat... kind of ruins it for me :(

[djbigboifresh]

This song is to amazing to dislike...

[Hansdeman91]

Can't find the album anywhere

[larryknwles]

Oh yeah, this is a true soul hitter for sure! One love JR, R.I.P. Dilla.

[aprilmarco]

damm! I feel so much better after that.

[KAs619]

FOLLOW THEM ON TWITTER @LC_Project

[410CharmCity]

I just love the Slum Village "Players" sample... This song goes right through me. I can't explain the trance it puts me in, bravo.

[Forealness]

brain food !!!!

[ImMartinSky]

2 people are either deaf, or they just could find the like button....

[FibrousAcquiescence]

had this dude listed...don't know much about him. Is he a dj/producer only or does he spit too? Anyway, this is really dope.

[awilliams1179]

Music like this needs to dominate the airwaves..

[Bargnarg]

Thanks Dude!! My wife and I are Two Stepping Now!!!

[GypsyEyesLove]

This is so fine! Funky sensual goodness...

[BOOKAHZ]

dam this so soothing on the head after hard day at work,I love it im just zoned out!

[nameless2u2002]

Gilbert O'Sullivan Clair. About 2:30 you will here the sample. (Dilla slowed it down)

[kimsmells1]

You can be murder at this hour of the day

But in the morning this hour'd seem a life time away

Oh Clair, Clair

[kimsmells1]

I love it when the beat drops, nuts x

[BboyMonKhousE]

So a tribute, paying respects, when I was a youngin, getting my feet wet, in hip hop's collective melodies, I couldn't counteract the infinite eulogies, of infinite beats I be hearing, the truth that these DJ's be speaking, through snares, drums, and chords, and yes sir, pen doper than the sword, so I guess its sad to say, but hip hop is missing you every day. Resurrecting hip hop cause it ain't dead, but simply put, was mislead. From the truth, real talk, rip J Dilla.

[unrealisticallyreal]

The same sample was used by Dilla in the song called "players". Just thought I'd put that out there.

[flyingWill2]

@unrealisticallyreal it was a slum village song actually. and the voice says "claire".

[VectorVaughn]

@flyingWill2 It's actually "Player". Just like the Slum Village track (that dilla produced)... it's called "player" in this track and that track. Not "claire" my friend.

[flyingWill2]

@VectorVaughn ..uh yeah, obviously Dilla produced it, it was on fantastic v2. but the song sampled is actually called "Clair" by The Singers Unlimited, and they are singing "Clair". Not "Player(s)". Get on my level.

[VectorVaughn]

@flyingWill2 holy shit man!! you're right! My friends dad has a record by them! It shows them sitting in a tree or something? It's called a capella 2, right? Dude, I always wondered why J Rawls beat sounded so familiar! It's because i've heard the original... like once though. Damn bro... I stand corrected. You're right!! Good lookin

[flyingWill2]

@VectorVaughn ain't a thing. I'm not trying to be a douche or anything, just keeping the facts straight lol.

[VectorVaughn]

@unrealisticallyreal Yup yup... the track "players" is by Slum Village, and you're right, it was produced by Dilla, for Slum Village to get down on. Real Hip Hop tunes.

[spazheavy]

Slum village classic

[Jluv411]

Away... Way.... So chilled out yo... My goodness.. Can seriously relax 2 this track. ♥Thanx Rawls 4 the tribute & RIP Dilla!♥

[lividlyric]

It's that groove, chill thang...

[lividlyric]

Groove, chill thang...

[djprizewell]

#rip J.Dilla good tribute, always cooling out to this track..

[BlasphemicDamage]

A personal classic of mine for 2 years..

[MrCraigC23]

I hope this is a tribute to Dilla!!!

[ssaleem92]

@MrCraigC23 it's called a tribute to dilla, so i hope it is one as well.

[nastyearwax]

@MrCraigC23, Dont worry it is :)

[sup3rmunky]

I cannot see how someone could dislike this....

[joelmilks123]

@sup3rmunky either missed the like button or are too indie to like good music.

[ButterWaxCreepy]

@ NickV: The sample was taken from a Gilbert O'Sullivan song called Clair.

[NickVellaTV]

whats the sample?

[flylovebeats]

@NickVellaTV Singers Unlimited - Claire is one of them

[maleikav]

Love this. Play it daily.

[inabeana]

I..........i just....cant escape....the.....swag

[PolarEntLLC]

this is one of my favorite joints. im so glad the band got down with me on this! holla at me if you like this yall!

@J_Rawls on twitter

[gangstavillain]

whos that stupid bastard who tryda musically enlighten a mother fucker with exactly what i had said in a previous comment? I'll kill you bud... you better watch that

[gongorian]

i dont know how I was able to survive without this song in my life?...

[dtsjr1227]

Oh my goodness this took to a special place!!!!!!!!

[tdubb6891]

This song breeds confidence! You're ready to get your mack on when you hear it.

[nephew501]

ride and smoke music

[dwadefan4lyfe2]

R.I.P. Dilla

[Lyrics156]

It's pretty good. I like the way that all the instruments come together on this track.

[nameless2u2002]

The double beat on the 1 gives the 'off' sound but the 'on' beat is between the double beat on the 1. You can feel it with your internal rhythm. 

[undergroundflowin]

@nameless2u2002 holdin it down for the simpletons, very well spoken

[MrDavePhilly]

j dilla changed my life

[enzosupreme]

I gotta say, I like the name "bazookafluke". Great handle, great song, great upload. Kudos.

[bazookafluke]

@enzosupreme thanks homie

[babylady]

DILLLA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

[zakmetpoep]

@bazookafluke if the drums are offbeat it is not automatically negative

[TheOutroDistinto1]

outstandingly amazing

[ShaLaRock1]

you talking bout tears cumming down my eyes....MAN THIS SONG CRIES! R.I.P. J Dilla :~(

[GrafPsychofarmaca]

@bazookafluke sometimes if you play your kicks when no sample comes it hits out the rythm (or however to call it), but actually they are in the right position.

[Iridescootegetoverit]

anyone else light a bowl to this?

[seboufdu59]

I seriously miss Dilla.

[HipHopApprentice]

Magnificent.

[m33lover]

Some tracks are meant to become old friends...

[seboufdu59]

Thank You. Rest In Peace James Yancey

[theBELLringer00]

a fitting tribute to the late great J DILLA

I actually first heard of him through SLUM VILLAGE

[murasakiigirl]

Soo good

[johnon87]

where does the sample at the begining come from?

[renetrice]

@johnon87

Clair by Gilbert O'Sullivan, as sung by The Singers Unlimited. Their version is cold too... the harmonies are tight!

[MrWhomp]

Guys check out the group Tru Quality...Collect N' Cool...these guy spit over j. dilla tracks like this one...

[BuddhaSession]

true Dilla Beats, the drums don't ride on top of the beat. they lay in the "cut" floating with a sick sub-bass as this beat is... Nah, these drums are "dilla sick." although maybe a softer the attack on the foot pedal.

[ShowKaseTV]

@bazookafluke Yeah, they don't sound off. I mean, they don't sound computerized perfect, but they aren't "off" Great track.

[DollaTwo]

@bazookafluke Well the kicks sound like a little bit off but I know it was on purpose.

[DollaTwo]

@bazookafluke I'm not saying there bad, I love them too.

[DollaTwo]

These drums are so off but still so sick it gives me goose bumps, smooth beat

[athiz]

@DollaTwo the drums arent off at all

[DollaTwo]

@athiz Seriously I dont want to argue, I still love this beat Im just saying the kicks are off in a good way.

[theprophet162003]

@DollaTwo the durms are fine your prolly not used to the swing of the beat its prolly in a 1/8 swing or a 1/6 swing it sounds diffrent from a straight up pocket beat...

[9thPhonteBigPooh]

@DollaTwo not at all

[shellydjs]

Been listening to J. rawls since i fell in love with the track 'great live caper' ft. J-live back in 2001 [or there abouts] Great soulful sound & a perfect tribute to one of the best, r.i.p J. dilla

[enochianmagic]

Get high to relieve the pain I know your name Enola gay Suppress life and delete the aim A bitter dreamer from Hiroshima Savage Nazis ragged fascists ravaged factories In Nagasaki Revenge of the Jesuits toyotomi dont toy with tomy My friends are the specialist But Im tryna find inner peace inner me So I dont need to socialise or vocalise Drinking or smoking Im thinking provoking From Incas to dogon tribes

[enochianmagic]

Ive got new-fangled enthusiasm

The truths tangled

To mute vandals and lunar madmen

Ill die hard like Rasputin

Deny dark vast mutants

With Tumour actions

From Jupiter to Lucifer

To the moons of Saturn

The fast paced

Rat Race has nuclear batons

[pwfletcher007]

Players By Slum Village

[munkey900]

[JerZi775]

[fakeshitbitch]

[TruhbleMan]

"You trynna be a player!"

[TruhbleMan]

0:03 "You can be murdered at the sound of the day, but in the morning this hour would seem a life time away... away, baby! [Echo]"

[alivenawake1]

RIP God

[sotocapo]

[gangstavillain]

gotta love that lyrics from O'Sullivan... altho his original blows

[QuikShotJigen]

@gangstavillain If it wasn't for the original Gilbert O Sullivans Claire then the sampled vocals of that song wouldn't be on this track. So check yourself when you say the old shit blows. Nothin' old blows.

[Infinite8338]

players

[sotocapo]

i needed this so bad

[bazookafluke]

Have you ever heard this before? He just came out with Liquid Crystal Project 2 not too long ago. I ordered it from Record Exchange but when I went to pick it up it was $30 because it was a british import so I didn't buy it. I want to get it eventually.
