You may not know the name but you know the tracks. You know Pharcyde "Runnin" "Drop" De La Soul's "Stakes are High" and Busta Rhymes "Whoo Ha got you all in Check" The list keeps going..... Janet Jackson etc

The catalog is huge. And im sure with a proper documentary people will realize that he was a genius.


He was a Lord of Detroit. I know this blow is taking the D Town hard.

Oh my god..you would be surprised who was into Jay Dee. I know I was by the list. The UK's response is probably gonna be a big one as well.

Listen to some tracks...



I hope he goes platinum on stonesthrow with his next release. I wasnt too much a fan. I had the basics but I know alot of cats I listened to Dilla was a huge inspiration for. So with that said you cant dismiss his contribution

I bet you Busta Rhymes will say something...about it.

Trickology said:

Damn, Stakes is High was all you had to mention...that's one of the tightest tracks I've ever heard in all of Hip Hop. Damn.

I can't believe this! man....I was so excited about the new album, and this news comes up right after....I was just listening to a couple of his Dwele tracks....a true Hip Hop Artist,, he will be greatly missed...



Rip, Dilla.....

****hit-up his Ruff Draft/ep for some of the deepest ish you will ever ear****

Me and my homies were just talking about him. Thats fucked up. R.I.P. JayDee.

For all the Dilla Heads and the ones not up to him

LIsten to this in depth audio interview and you wll see why so many heralded him as High as Premier,Marley marl,Bomb Squad,Dr Dre,Timbaland and Neptunes

R.I.P.


by the way pick up the Donuts album. It's really good.

Pretty weird. He was let out of the hospital and said he was healthy, but then this. Odd world; we should try to live each day like it is the last. Remember the dawn.

RIP. But a sticky!?

Scrapluv said:

Because you are dealing with a snobby ass Prince fan who doesn't respect anything remotely connected to hip-hop...You know there's life outside of our boy, right Meat?

Trickology said:

We heard you the first time Trick (LOL)..Just commenting on the blatant disrespect from a music snob, that's all...But I'm aware of the man's work...I hope your link helps people understand the man's impact on hip-hop and beyond...Thanks...

Trickology said:

hey Trick, Thanks for the lead to the stream. J's music soundtracks my daily, so you can never have too many sources for his sounds.




Dilla the illest. Dilla forever.

Check out Scrapluv's links above.

I could recommend 2 whole CDs that he did all of the production on.


Slum Village "Fantastic, Vol. 2"


Jay Dee aka J Dilla "Welcome 2 Detroit"

CinisterCee said:

don't forget this!



a Jay Dee and Madlib collaboration! this album didn't really grab me at first but after a revist i can't believe i slept on it, there's some real gems on this one.

He was one of the bright lights on the hip-hop scene for a long time. May the architect of the Champion Sound rest in peace.

here is a new 2 hour Dilla-Tribute mix recorded 2-12-06 for Fat Beats Radio:
