Part 1: Work Ethic Starts In The Basement / What To Listen For in A Dilla Beat / J.Dilla's Range As A Producer. The King of Reinvention

This piece was created for his fans as James "J.Dilla" Yancey a way to reflect on the impact and legacy of our musical icon, and reinforce the understanding of why we hold him in such high regard. This stands as a tribute for J.Dilla, and a gift to fans that already understood his presence in music at the time he passed away in February 2006... and those who continue to seek material about him to rejuvenate their support. I trust that this "J.Dilla: Still Shining" remembrance piece will have you gain greater insight, and a richer appreciation of this musical icon. As fans of music, we suffered the loss of a great asset... but J.Dilla continues to shine. - B.Kyle

  • if he was still alive just imagine the beats he'd be dropping now!!!

  • What piano is that he has in his studio ? It's some kind of Rhodes i guess, but it looks different from the ones i have seen.

  • Dilla... Man what can I say except THANK YOU. I've Loved your music since 94' when I was in high school. You influenced me... Recently in a BIG studio session, I was compared to you. I couldn't even contain my feelings on the drive home... You are and forever will be the greatest...
