[adolfolicious]

@UrielTheRealOne Haha yer from Germany you racist idiot

[NickVellaTV]

@UrielTheRealOne your a dumb faggot ass german nazi bitch go beat off to your collection of hitler pics

[juanisabastard]

this is quite possibly the most underrated and low key beat and song iv ever heard

keep doin ur thing illa j

[jtram21]

this beat uses a sample of kraftwerks "trans- euro express"

[gregor9356]

@jtram21 thx for this information...!!!! dilla s so fuckin dope!

[jtram21]

@gregor9356 no problem. kraftwerk's "trans europe express" released in 1977. It is one of the earliest sampled records that I can remember - Afrika Bambata sampled it first in 1981 in his single "planet rock" He sampled the key board from trans europe express. dilla used the drums. yes, dilla is dope.

[gregor9356]

@jtram21 i know kraftwerk , as a german :D but i would never had realized, that dilla sampled it for this song... thx again :)

[Akaimayn]

@jtram21 Keyboard sample from Trans Europe Express? dont think so man

[jtram21]

@Akaimayn ok, technically it is not a sample because dilla actually played the instruments but it is obvious where he got the beat from - kraftwerks 'trans euro express."

[jtram21]

@Akaimayn also, i never said the KEYBOARD was sampled i said the BEAT was sampled

[Akaimayn]

@jtram21 Oh I thought you were saying the keyboard was a Kraftwerk sample,my bad.The hi hats seem to be from Kraftwerk as you said,

[gnoscobrown]

I can't believe I first heard this on NPR's Marketplace . . . this is WAY too hip for public radio.

[VinCeKnOw]

Illa J is the son of J Dilla

[CrunkKing232]

@VinCeKnOw brother

[jtram21]

@VinCeKnOw he's dilla's younger brother

[BhramaBull]

[iRetroDunkz]

I'm 13 and been listing to this type of music when I was 9 I luv old skool music and I luv j dilla ands illa j common all of them krs one gang starr tribe called quest. De la soul all of them

[MFdoobie]

@iRetroDunkz i hear ya im 16 and bean listenin to real shit since i was 11

[JColeM7785]

good my boy...you ahead of the game of spirituality then most around you....get into some MF Doom, Elzhi (mixtapes), Little Brother, Foreign Exchange, People Under The Stairs, and last bun not least....GET INTO JAY ELECTRONICA....that's if you haven't done these songs already....

[KASLtja]

@JColeM7785 WoW...you sound thorough!!

[TshiamisoRapudi]

@JColeM7785 got all of those...and more.. never really got into MF Doom... but u cant forget some in the commercial world that are keeping it real.. such as Common(except for previous album), talib kweli, mos def, Lupe, Tribe called quest...

Keep listening to the good music

[treeZon1]

we here..

[twigahu]

what is the song starting at the end?

[twigahu]

OK, got it.. R U listening..

[nelsonmalo1983]

Creativity in Hip Hop

[sponserdsk8ter]

this song is 3:40 and for some reason it seems like its still too short

[joka0511]

tonight i will see him live in leipzig :)

[strictlyriddim]

DAMN...i didn't even know there was a video for this! i can't get enough of this track.

[majp1989]

This looks like it was filmed with a webcam. The song is pretty great, though. Good flow.

[KoeniginAmStart]

i would love to...but no moneyy

[mrcheereo]

Tight shit. Some one need to buy a radio station and play nothin but Real hip hop and underground hip hop. Some thin like the wake up show. I bet record companies would be baffled at how popular the show becomes and how many listeners it gets. There is a huge demand for real hip hop but no sources. Whoever has the means and dollars to act on that can make alot of money

[jogabonito67]

im not sure if its simple as that

[mrcheereo]

no, its not

[sinetwo]

it exists... google wefunkradio

[jefferz2k8]

thing is though as soon as they see something becomes popular corpoarate music industries take them over and throw m,illions at them which they cant make on the streets. thus truew hip hop is lost. hence why some people say hip hop is deead, but not me

[Flashpoint922]

Totally agreed. All the real hip hop artists making good music aka Illa J here, Consequence, Talib Kweli, Common, Kid Cudi etc. are all artists that could be played along with the classics from the 80's and 90's. Real DJ's could mix hell even people like Sway & Tech and Premier. Every time I see an old school video on youtube everyone comments about this. It can be done.

[MFdoobie]

@Flashpoint922 kid cudis a sell out

[ushery2k9]

if u diggin sumfin in american terms wat does mean?

[hatsock]

diggin means you like it.

[sinetwo]

or digging in the crates = looking for samples/bits you can use for your beats.

[Jiaxis]

means you like it

[ak562]

Madlib is the closest to Dilla, peep Beat Konducta Vol. 5-6

[KickMeAndCancel]

truth. 5 and 6 is fantastic.

[Pieperson277]

That Bass is...

the best

[songflow]

I liked this song the moment I heard it, within the first few bars I was diggin it. I'm glad that they're keeping the legacy alive for the Dilla fans.

[Zermaa]

he stolen j dilla's beats! i think that illa j was gelous for the brother's talent..

[BerniejX]

Rofl -> "Produced by J Dilla"

Read descriptions.

[RuckFulezRKO123]

hahaha I don't agree with the stealing, BUT Illa is his younger brother, therefore, I wouldn't consider it cheating, just the fact that he wants to keep the legacy alive, or at least try to live under his brother's talent. I can admit, Illa J is choppy with his lyrics, but he'll get better with age.

[RiRiWillz1]

talent just like his brother.... rest in peace dilla

[son3produxions]

yessir

[angiclone]

This is next Level Homies!

[Fatallitys]

[flashtak]

ohhhh the instros the instros.

[Ki11d0z35]

damn. if he had done an album with his brother when he was still alive it would have come out dope cus he's a good singer but his rhymes are weak. him singing and dilla rhyming would have been gold.

[EscoToTheMax]

i dont even listen to his lyrics i just love listening to dilla's beats. thats what makes the song

[therawuncut]

they may give you thumbs down but i agree with you dude. dilla's beats are the centerpiece of all of his songs.

[Chillinskates]

keep dilla alive..

[ShakaDelic716]

illa j has great potential, he's gotta get more lyrical

[thakozhani]

THIS SOUNDS LIKE A BLACK MILK TRACK

[capachino712]

[rcbrooks]

Black Milk sounds like J Dilla bro

[anonymous2000bc]

I disagree J Dee and Black Milk have a totally different style but one thing is for sure!! there both badass

[rcbrooks]

Yeah, but you can hear Dilla's influence on Black Milk.

[bant15]

you can definitely tell that Black Milk was inspired by Jay Dee.

[shortys912002]

I completely agree with you. Black Milk is the closest thing to Jay Dee.

[ezearl]

@rcbrooks Na Dawg. Black Milks New Album Wasn't That Good.

I Got It On Vinyl,

And I Also Have This Illa J Album On Vinyl, Way Fresher.

Illa Got The Best Production Outta J Dilla.

All The Beats On Here Bang. It's His Brother What Did I Expect.

R.I.P. Dilla Dawgg

[ezearl]

For Those That Know, Black Milk Did Not Make This Beat Or Any Beat On This Album... This Was Entirely Produced By J Dilla.

[oglvy]

Oh snaps!! My older brother is in this video. hahaha. Dope! If anyone cares you see him in 0:40 and then he appears through out the vid. DOPE!!

[DZA9mm]

[steeltownbrown52]

Someone tell me why this album was so overlooked in 2008? ^This got spins but most of the underground and alternative radio shows I listened to never bigged this up in their year in review shows. Could "Donuts" be to blame?

[zoo2you07]

then again it could be but alot of underground artist dont get a lot of plays by the radio

[vinney78]

That beat is so nice. His style is nice, but please check his other video out RU listenin. Are the girls from that video the same as the girls in this one. Crucify me and call me what you want I just made the observation. Keep doin your brothers', oops, I mean keep doin your thing though.

[LumiNiscentMusic]

maybe they made both videos the same day lol

[eahole7]

r.i.p jay dilla

[crackinkid]

omg is that a sample from kraftwerk trans europe express?

[revolutionarywarfare]
