Jay Dee / J Dilla / Dilla Dawg / James Dewitt

[inverse]

This thread is all about J Dilla. To me, this man was the most revolutionary and brilliant producer in rap history. His infusion of obscure and beautiful soul, funk, jazz, and rock samples with classic beat breaks and unique drums made him a great producer. However, it was the intricate nature in which he wove the usually simple samples, creating complex masterpieces that made him so brilliant.

Jay died in 2006 of complications from lupus. The rap, rnb, and soul scene just isn't the same without him. This thread is meant for us all to post our favorite J Dilla tracks (they're all on youtube), and to share our appreciation for his music!

My top dilla productions are:

I was loving his innovation on electric circus:

I was on his last concert, it was in ghent belgium ... .
Jay dee was assisted by his mother and some artists Phat kat, Frank & Dank .
He was really fucked up his bodyguard carried him on stage in his weelchair.
Here some pics,got more of them on my computer


Few weeks later he passed away, that was fucked up news ... .
4 days after he passed there was a concert of Slumm Village, they didnt cancelled it they made a hell of a tribute to jay.
I made some movie clips from it, this concert made me week in the knees....
Jay dee is a big loss, I hope hes happy now

I also want to share some of my movies i shot on his last concert and the Dilla tribute made by slumm village, I get tears in my eyes when i watch it now .... .

Inverse: Indeed Dilla is well known among hiphop heads in EU. Actually you would be amazed if you knew what kinda acts that come to Denmark to play. Very nice stuff to say the least....hats off to the booking agents and agencies that bring them all the way to our lil ass country lol.

Stay Safe
