..it sickens me how much I LOVE Killa Cam. You really cannot deny this dude has a sick ass flow, Pink Rover or not. Yeah, he has done come annoying shit, but, fuck all that, he is a fucking amazing rapper. DIPSET! ...and this track is fuckin' sick like it has the clap. Get it. Haha. Sick beat, sick verses... my God, what else could you ask for? ENJOY. The U.N. - Clap (via ONSMASH)
I don't really dig this sound that much, but it's a good message, which can sometimes be hard to come by with the Game, so fuck it, I'm posting. ...enjoy? At least listen. The Game - We Will Survive (via ONSMASH)
I know some of you will NEVER tire of the 9th Wonder remix, so enjoy! With remixed tracks from Tribe, Nas, Com, GFK, LB, Red & Mef, Kanye, etc, this is sure to be worthwhile. 9th Wonder - 9th Wonder Invented The Remix (Again) (via ONSMASH)
...so, look. I know everyone hates me for this, but I'm not the biggest Fashawn fan. I'm sorry, get over it. That being said, I am kinda feelin' this track. The beat is crazy, and Planet Asia does his thing. ...enjoy? Fashawn - The Score (via ONSMASH)
If you know me AT ALL, you already know how much I love James Dewitt Yancey aka J Dilla, Jay Dee, the best producer ever to bless the beats, and all the other nick names he has come to be called. I don't even know what to say beyond that... this man's music has changed so many peoples lives, in so many different ways, it's hard to find the words to even talk about it. ...but more than that, I just straight up and down love him and his music. Period. From beat making and production for himself, his groups, and countless other artists, to his verses, to the type of person he seemed to be.
In this day in age, especially in hip hop, it can sometimes be hard to find artists that you can look at on every level, and respect. J Dilla has my respect. He should have yours too.
I would say take today, and play some of his music, but fuck that... fuck Dilla day, or Dilla month, or any of that shit. Play his music every month, every day. I can't think of a better artists whose music deserves constant rotation more than this man... A Jay Dee beat is an audible expression of love. His music is great. He is Great. Fuck the rest.
...that being said, I collected a few of my favorite J Dilla works, and a few other things to introduce you to him, if by some odd and disturbing chance you don't know him already. Enjoy!
...by a few, I meant 10. Of 500. He has worked with the likes of Tribe Called Quest, Pete Rock, De La Soul, the Pharcyde, the Roots, Common, Black Star, etc. I could have kept going all afternoon, but I just wanted to hopefully give people who don't know Jay's music a taste of what he did... that didn't even begin to touch the full range of his work, but those are a couple of my favorites.
Lastly, I wanted to put up this interview with Dilla. I have probably listened to this interview 3.7 million times. I can basically recite the whole thing (I know, I have no life, you don't have to tell me... it's clear to me). It's a bit long, but trust me, it's SO worth it... if you haven't heard it already, shit, even if you have. . . give it a listen. This man, his words, his music, his whole being. . . it's love. Period. ...enjoy!
For more information, check out the sites below. The Stonesthrow link offers a full discography, which is soooooo dope. Just, enjoy him. Love him. Respect him. Rest in beats J Dilla. We miss you. <3
You probably won't like this blog, so I'm not even going to bother describing it. . . In fact, fuck you for even reading this - don't you have some work you should be doing or something. . ?
