J Dilla - Sleeping Like A Dog

[Schmoovnyz]

Nah he used a cover from the beatles song

[AMP4ii3Kit]

I personally like the ending lol this beat is perfect

[versatility934]

if you think this is amazing you should here the original The Beatles -A Hard Days Night the way dilla flipped it was crazy

[JCMthebrand]

@versatility934 that's why I have a beef with samples. 1) The person creating the beat isn't being nearly as creative as the original, UNLESS you've heard the original 2)....people don't look at a sample in contrast with the original to deem originality. Therefore people will put what PRIMO and Dilla did/still do in comparison with a POLOW or Kanye. Sorry....Kanye turns hooks and loops into hot azz beats. Dilla creates original music from samples. Two different things.

[reptilliantoker78]

this one really hits home with me..i'd be rich if they paid me to smoke

[OlaAtMe37]

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE LISTEN TO WHAT THE WOMAN AT THE END IS SAYING AND TELL ME. I'm curious.

[ris3andfall]

@OlaAtMe37 Lol, you don't want to know. It make you not like the song as much in my opnion

[whosdatgirl1]

what a tune

[coreakuma]

Just when I thought I heard all his beats, some dope shit like this gets uploaded!!

[kil2gore]

What a great tribute to the Beatles via J Dilla. (RIP to the master) Thanks for the great upload!

[eatsrappers]

does anyone know where i can get dilla beat tapes like "vintage"??

[Sgtsoup117]

This song should be extended... i feel like a minute and 34 seconds is too short!

[Btothadot]

This isn't a Beatles sample. It's a sample of a cover.

[ChrisPayneable]

There's two things about this song that always made me sad: one, it's really short, and two, the dialogue at the end makes it near impossible for me to let some people hear it, ahah. So I used Audacity to loop the song right before it and made a 13 minute long version. Unfortunately that was on my old computer... guess I'll have to do it again...!

[mlmw]

tell your kids about dilla

[mrclickclickdirt]

this made me sleepy for some reason... and i don't know why

[5Kpro]

@mrclickclickdirt is it because you should be sleeping like a dog? :D REST IN BEATS DILLA

[vintagesoul73911]

[greasemonkey1228]

[bountyonmyhead]

@greasemonkey1228 I see what you mean

[letmemakitclear]

[Petriscy]

A dog disliked this

[TheRealKAMandOSO]

this is the best j dilla beat ever

[kennoshannon]

It's been a hard days night I've been working like a dog

It's been a hard days night I should be sleeping like a log

Ringo Starr described it this way in an interview with disc jockey Dave Hull in 1964: "We went to do a job, and we'd worked all day and we happened to work all night. I came up still thinking it was day I suppose, and I said, 'It's been a hard day... and I looked around and saw it was dark so I said, '...night!' So we came to 'A Hard Day's Night.'"

[kennoshannon]

I was amazed when i finally realised this is the Beatles singing but slowed down

[FaAxify]

I wonder what J Dilla used to make that bassline.. probably a low pass filter i assume i've always wondered..

[MCkoudijzer]

@FaAxify I think it's the bass line of the sample. it sounds really like the sound of the sample.

pardon me if im wrong.

[papermermaid]

1 CAT DISLIKED THIS..

[Dschaylizy]

@papermermaid thx for telling us

[aliburgesss]

i start sucking without a pause in my movement...Y E S

[SvItoJ]

jaynious..

[cbmuzik]

how in the world did Dilla flip this?!?!?!?!? Did someone remake The Beatles 'A Hard Days Night' because that's where these lyrics come from...but the harmony....goodness!!! Dilla killed this beat!

[TrackStar542]

Detroit !!

[sstar732]

Dilllaaaaa!!!!!!

[MTRIFE]

How is it possible that there is a dislike here?

[smm0013]

..jeez, you dudes need to get up on your music history. sleeping like a log - not a dog!

[jackie9847]

was kind of caught off guard by the last part wasnt expecting that lol

[dinkhead1]

cute dog

[JColeM7785]

@KingofFighters32 haha....of course. No secret that Dilla had a thing for the sexual content.

[achojnac]

licking, swirling... oh no, I don't believe it!! this whole beat tape is so amazing

[NicolasYates]

Dope...I heard this on a Ty & Kory mixtape.

[KorizmoHill]

J Dilla was tired as hell and needed to stay awake, so his inspiration was to make this. I mean, it would make him stay awake just a tad more b/c it related to his situation. You know that feelin'. ... R.I.P. J Dilla. Aaaah, I miss you.

[minimann123]

he placed that kick in all the right spots

[utwobing]

Like the way he changed the ending notes of that line...sooooooo smooth, beat and all.

[216MaNolo]

amazing.

[LEDO777]

[vintage77music]

[bountyonmyhead]

@vintage77music This is the best reply to a youtube comment ever on youtube....in my opinion...I never thought about saying something like this to get a bunch of thumbs up.

[Zordo11]

@bountyonmyhead LOL

[calicalboi]

only dilla could sample something this popular and make it his own.

[645pookie]

I was really getting into the beat until I heard the end, when she was talking about taking the penis in her mouth...WTF They've lost me on this one! Day-Yam!!

[marchialleo]

aaaaaaaahhhh!!!! what is the sample please!!!

[SD2Humboldt]

@marchialleo think bout it !!! its been a hard days night and im sleeping like a dog !!! old skool rock !! he flipped it perfectly..  the beatles -- hard days night !!

[HellzonianG]

I want this played at my funeral.. rest in beats dilla

[Cieloroyal]

@HellzonianG - hope you cut off the end part

[burntrubber11]

@HellzonianG i thought the exact same thing

[TheboiwhocouldfLY]

@HellzonianG HAHA ME2

[JColeM7785]

@HellzonianG wow....I felt the same way when I first heard this....I was up around 3 AM....and it just spoked to me.

[WestsidePatriot]

@HellzonianG I want this played at my funeral ,excluding the women talkin about a penis touchin her lips lol

[B0ker]

@HellzonianG aha tru say

[TheAvalonStudio]

I love this beat

[JleeMayaz96]

i found the group its shockabily but you cant find the cover on youtube

[elvatobilal]

ITS CALLED "I should be sleepin"

[baldboy1da1]

Sleeping like a "LOG"

Its heat regardless though.

[kennydfulton]

@baldboy1da1 Yeah but Dilla's flipped it to say 'Like a dog'

I thought it could be this: /watch?v=JEAhdD-bds4, but I've tried stretching the vocals, and speeding it up etc. and I don't think it is.

[SD2Humboldt]

dammmm sooo dope!!!!  wigflipper frsur !! rip dilla

[Dubulous111]

never heard this before. very nice. anymore from this time period that are on the rare side?

[DontPAss2JOE]

Is it possible he is sampling "The Singers Unlimited" on some old Ge-ology type shit?

[neffone77]

@DontPAss2JOE ... Actually Dilla was up on Singers Unlimited waaaaaaay before Ge-Ology. Ever heard Players off the Slum Village album Fantastic?  That's Singers Unlimited, a song called "Claire".

[DontPAss2JOE]

@neffone77 ....Thanks for puttin' me on that Singer's Unlimited song "CLAIR"...JRAWLS used a more orgainic version of the sample on that JD tribute. Really appreciate it. What I don't appreciate is whack ass fools talkin' about how its some old bullshit from "Shockabilly" if you're a true head, you don't just make shit up, you dig, dig, dig, and find the truth....That's how serious some of us take this Hip-hop shit!

[FinallyAtPeace]

WOAH....did anybody else catch the completely random ending

[NodtomyBEats]

@FinallyAtPeace hahahah yeahh wtff like a blow job tutorial

sick beat tho

[EyeJustSkateboard]

Nawh man, the sample is hard days night by the beatles. It's just modified almost beyond recognition. This track is the kind of bump you'd just waste the whole day too, and be perfectly okay with it.

[COMPUTERSbeats]

@EyeJustSkateboard

no, i think the sample is a cover of that song by some psychedelic group in the 80s

[Ty2936]

@COMPUTERSbeats It's hard days night...listen to the whole thing and it says "it's been a hard day's night, I should be sleeping like a dog"

[COMPUTERSbeats]

@Ty2936 that's obvious

i mean that some psychedelic band from the 70s or 80s did a cover of "a hard day's night" from the beatles, and that j dilla used said sample

[Beatz4Life96]

I Forgot the sample but i know it is not the beatles. it's somebody else

[Beatz4Life96]

Beautiful Tune

R.I.P. James Yancey

[BennyGaberMusic]

I can't figure this out!! This beat is so unorthodox, it's not even hip hop anymore it's music completly universal!!

[gammabet]

love this track perfect j dilla R.I.P

[dwadefan4lyfe2]

nice dilla joint

[yaboyschooledya]

ayo one of jdilla's best beats easy and lookin at this pic reminds me of my dog...shit's kinda cute lol

[DollaTwo]

@yaboyschooledya It is

[b2daboy]

so good
