Happy Birthday to the one and only J Dilla. Thus kickstarts Dilla Month (also Black History Month). It's been 6 years since his passing, but his music and influence can still be felt on music of today (ala Flying Lotus, Onra, etc). He's our generations Mozart, Duke Ellington, and Miles Davis. Here's a gem I found dollar bin digging at Amoeba SF a few months ago. Something for the People "All I Do" Jay Dee SH**! Mix featuring Phife Dawg (Promo 12")
and a lil sample fo ya!
Here's some Dilla favs of mine.
Uncredited but J Dilla flip Bobby Caldwell "What you won't do for Love" for this posthumous Tupac song.
One of the coolest music videos: it's shot in reverse. Wonder if this is an influence on Jimmy Falon's Late Night "Things in Reverse" bit
This beat still works with ladies thanks Dilla!
Another fliping of Bobby Caldwell.
Dilla with The Ummah on MJ track remix.
