The tribute music video taken from "The Shining" for the late J Dilla. Featuring Black Thought, Common, Will.I.Am, Talib Kweli, Frank n Dank and Dilla's younger brother John.
One of the dopest memories I have was being in NYC for the first time and I was listening to this album. I came up out of the subway in Manhattan and this song came in as I saw the first view of the city. Damn that was an immersive experience.
J Dilla was a producer’s producer. Just listen to any of his beats and you can feel it in your soul. His beats are perfect to just vibe to. Imagine what it was like in the studio with Dilla cooking up a masterpiece.
this beat just gives off a extraterrestrial vibe, a sense of mental innovation, just a inspirational touch. Rip to J dilla and shoutout to illa J for picking up the baton.
Weird how this song is about being a player and yet it pulls my heartstrings in such a way that it sometimes gets me all emotional.. Damn! Dilla really gone too soon, he was a such a Special one.
Stwooert Arteaga he’s not taking about being a player. The women are metaphors for his samples. He was known for stitching together multiple samples 2 or 3 plus to make his beats. That’s why one won’t do and two is not enough lol. Now when you listen again without looking at the video and think about samples and not women it’s like holy fuck!
My dad used to play this all the time in his car I was like 9-10 at the time and I still remember lmao. I’m now 26. It’s so nostalgic I got goose bumps listening to this!
this is literally the song the got me into hip hop when i was a metal head teenager. i just clicked some random myspace friend i had and lead me to ATCQ page and dilla was their top friend. this was in their top 4 songs or whatever lol and the rest is history =D
Flea from the Red Hot Chilly Peppers brought me here, he mentioned J Dilla is very deep and his music is very inspirational, and he was right, this is some good stuff
This song always makes me cry :( The beat is beautiful and it reminds me of my father! 07 for me was heartache and this beat made me happy and sad at the same time. Thank you Dilla for your pure genius R.I.P
Today is November 20, 2023, I heard this song for the first time and it is one of the best I have ever heard, the beat takes you to another place as does the chorus, they are simply majestic. I don't have enough words to describe this J dilla and his music are timeless
Absolutley incredible and let's not forget the Isely Brothers footsteps in the dark drum sample too. How he meshed both samples together is incredible. I'm still trying to figure out how he got the chops on that Dick Hyman track to go the way it does. That shit is Legendary. He even took the baseline from that track too. It is so awesome!
Just heard someone at the job playin alfie today. I had never actually heard that song but immediatly remembered wont do and had to come pay homage to dilla. The hiphop that saved my life rest in paradise king
This Song Is Extremely Powerful. It Made Me Descend Into Myself, For I Had Realised That Everything Inside Me Is Full Of Darkness. I Swam In An Ocean Of Confusion, And The Horizon Was Not To Be Seen. I Drowned... Then I Opened My Eyes And I Knew That This Song Will Help Me With My Metanoia. I Told Myself That I Did Not Deserve The Likes Of The Girl I Was In Love With. That Feeling Supressed Me, I Was Another Boy At The Time. I Will Never Forget This.
You know when Hip-Hop is Hip-Hop when you listen a track for a thousand times over the years and still get goosebumps when the beat drops. That's immortal music man. Just love to see a whole bunch of other artists just there in the video having fun and not for the money or the fame. Common, Black Thought, Will-I-Am. Talib Kweli and the rest of the crew. Just shows the gravitating power of the King of the Beats. Rest in Power Dilla. You really changed my life man. No joke. I'm so happy to be alive during this era of Hip-Hop.
This is Illa-J, (J-Dilla's 'little brother) It sucks that noboby hardly gave his EP/LP no burn because that shit was dope. But that's the same thing that happened to his brother, ppl overlooked him for his great gift.... but not me thought. J-Dila (JayDEE) was(and still is in my opinion) one of the top five beat maker/rapper/producers that ever lived (being only equal to Pete Rock) We Miss You Dilla (and your hott ass beats as well) R.I.P.
Word brother, Dilla is a legend,my man produced dope tracks for so many dope artists, yet most People dont even know him..my top 5( I think ) Jay Dee, Pete Rock,Premier,9th Wonder,Apollo Brown
Being from Detroit makes this classic even more nostalgic. The memories I have with this song is deep. It’s spiritual because it brings me back to when my sister and mom were living and things were so different. The music back then complimented so much of my life. It’s replaying some beautiful memories with an absolutely beautiful music score! Blessings Dilla. 🌻
Crazy to think you come to this earth, leave a legacy in your own way and are gone just as fast. This song will always remind me of the first time I heard it. Time flies. Enjoy every moment you are given
While I'm glad Ian Conner is bringing a lot of new folk to this beat (any exposure to Dilla is an awakening).. I wish ya'll new what it was like back in 2007-9 when this song was bubbling in the underground spots. Walk into your favorite lounge or underground spot, see your people noddin to the beat, feeling grown as hell cause you like Dilla over D4L. Jump in the whip and kill the city, rollin' around with the window perfectly rolled down 4 inches. Man, those were the days.
1:20 True Story: On one of Dilla's European tours, ('05?), Jehst walked on-stage & snuck some of his own label's vinyl into Dilla's crates. Dilla ended up sampling just a simple vocal snippet from one of Jehst's records (a "yeah, yo") but it ended up getting placed on this song. Not only that, but another UK hip-hop legend, Tommy Evans is also heard at 2:27 ! Just adds to the legend of this iconic song. RIP Dilla
One of my fav beats of all time, never gets old. The Isley Brothers sample is just heavenly shit along with the Dick Hyman sample. Dilla was ahead of his time truly, sad that we didn't get to see him live and evolve even more
Happy 47th birthday to the Infamous J Dilla 🎊🎊🎉🎉! This joint is magnificent including every production he made. Dilla u was is and will always be the one of the best beatmakers of all time.
Dilla Tima brought me back to blow my mind. I Was too young to know some of this stuff. Thats J Dillas brothers first video shoot. Crazy! Rest in Beats King. #DillaTime
Not enough views. This track deserves millions. Nevertheless badass song, very chill and nostalgic. Could listen to J Dilla any day along with Guru, Pete Rock, C.L. Smooth as well many other artists. RIP J Dilla.
Dani Zareen stop callin him baby you fake hip-hop head. Go back listening to your drake. Your type ain't welcomed when it comes to the beautiful culture of hiphop.
It's mine now too not all new generation forgot about this good music been listening to flylo n Dilla since I was little now I can do all those things lol
I just came back to this video after so many years of being introduced to this one of a kind talented person. His Mommy looking up to the heavens in this video still brings tears to my eyes. I LOVE you JD ! You have brought so much happiness to my life through your music.
Something way way way ahead of its time. Cant believe Detroit artists like J dilla and Eminem brings the most out of their talents despite their tough life
I love illa J :) rest in peace J dilla I remember seeing this video back when it came out on 106 & park I was smoking a L and just fell in love , went and copped the shining album when it dropped and got high to it. nowadays ain't nobody making soul hip hop like dilla on the track

J Dilla was a producer’s producer. Just listen to any of his beats and you can feel it in your soul. His beats are perfect to just vibe to. Imagine what it was like in the studio with Dilla cooking up a masterpiece.
Apparantly it only took him like 20 minutes a beat.... explains his huge body of work considering his young passing
Damn we need him😎
Who's back here in 2024? One of the best beats ever made
It’s music like this that just confirms to me that music is profoundly spiritual, this song is embedded into my heart and soul
I’m surprised this isn’t mainstream and you exactly right bro this shit is beautiful on so many level
Sometimes ...shit don't need to be shared .
ahead of its time. Before any of us really felt it. Timeless in fact it breaks the laws of physics.
Imagine making it
this beat just gives off a extraterrestrial vibe, a sense of mental innovation, just a inspirational touch. Rip to J dilla and shoutout to illa J for picking up the baton.
I felt the same thing. From mozambique. Dilla 4 ever
Don't forget Charles Hamilton!

It’s not about being a player at all! Would you like to know what it’s about???

Boy if he was still here rip jdilla
Masterful producer, yet such an underrated MC
thats his little brother rapping though , Illa J
Cem true.. even so this is J dillas rap style
True . and his brother sounds just like him.
Dilla rapped the album version
kind of on the level Of Big L. without a high pitched flow. sounds like Common but a little mellowed more out and love his beats man. damn.
This is my favorite hip hop song in the world.
You're not alone!
Defo not alone it’s incredible the whole album
I’ll add to that incredible album but this track is special for me
One of them
my all time favourite too 🙏🏽
swear to god this is one of the best songs I have ever listened to in my 30+ years of life.. long live Dilla
Flea from the Red Hot Chilly Peppers brought me here, he mentioned J Dilla is very deep and his music is very inspirational, and he was right, this is some good stuff
Wow really thats awesome J Dilla is a legend

I always heard about j dilla but never listened, now that I have his music honestly lifts my soul
Happy Birthday to J Dilla that he would have been 46 today J Dilla would have been 46 today if he was alive
Damn he was ahead of his time
I wonder how his music would've been if he was still alive. Would he have stayed with his amazing beats or trying to catch up to today's beats.
@@mewsterx3679 Dilla was a forward thinking nigga so he would've been on top with the new sound and old!
Happy 47th J
Rest In Power
Crazy that this was done in 2002 and sat on until he died.
masterful sampling of Dick Hyman's 'alfie'.
this beat is so full of life it sends chills down my spine; J Dilla was really the GOAT
Absolutley incredible and let's not forget the Isely Brothers footsteps in the dark drum sample too. How he meshed both samples together is incredible.
