J dilla was so humble,when we met after one of his performances at the Jazz Cafe on the Jaylib tour I told him that "he was the greatest,and that nobody couldn't touch him".,,,he was like “thanx man I need to hear that”...I was like "don't you know your the truth ?!Everyone is here to see YOU fam" He was like "nah" lol I legit didn’t understand how he could be so great yet so humble,madlib was on stage before KILLING IT But when Dilla came on…I swear I saw that sh*t in slow motion 😂 😂
Easily my favorite interview from Dilla. The interviewer did a great job asking the right questions & letting him speak comfortably. rest in beats my man
The legend man. Lupus took him too soon. You can say anything about him, but you can't say he wasn't dedicated to his craft. Not many producers that I listen to banged out beats in the hospital. #Restinbeats
The man had lupus but died from cardiac arrest due to a rare blood disease that he had gotten and there was no operation for it at the time so he was stuck with it, RIP Jay Dee, you inspired me to make a produce beats
Man it's just so heartbreaking to know that a dude so incredibly talented, so gifted, and such a humble cool person was taken from this world so soon. But at least we got to have him while we did and he left us with some amazing beats to enjoy. RIP Dilla, you were and always will be the best.
The sound of hip hop changed when he passed. His sound generated so much life, rather it was the samples, or beats from scratch, he had his own distinctive sound.. He didn't care for the attention or the spot light. Very humble dude. That dude was always different from every other producer out there. One of a one. JAY DEE
It's said that if you are passionate about something you love, it's a calling. Dilla was definitely passionate about music. One of my favorite producers, ever.
Best to ever do it!!!! Dr Dre. DJ Premier Timbaland Neptune's Swizz Beats RZA Pete Rock Large Professor Marley Mall J Dilla Q Tip Buckwild Kanye West Just Blaze Marco Polo Alchemist Havoc. Top 3 are Dre...Preemo..and Timbo. hands down!!!
@@dangerousbeats8332 Hmm. As much as I love the classic Dre and Timbaland beats (props for Timbo for being as equally versatile making a r&b beat as he is making a hip hop beat) but in time, my taste has switched more towards Madlib, Dilla, Pete Rock etc. And of course, to keep it current, MF DOOM was a one of a kind producer too..
Dilla was so ahead of his...you can listen to a Dilla beat from '95 & it sounds new. people slept on J when he was alive, but now you got a lot of aspiring producers & even legendary producers looking at his music for inspiration. R.I.P. James Yancey
The interviewer describing Dilla's own sound as "putting the soul clap a little early" is too sick! That special technique went on to influence everyone including madlib, flylo, the whole low end theory beat scene
I wish I could of met him but I learning that I am through his music ppl stealing his beats n trying to hide it god blessed him god knew this world effect the world he one of the best n would be the most success today as producer mc dj n musician like yooo this is the god father of todays music hiphop periodt humbled n let his music speak for it self
I just started REALLY digging into dilla’s catalogue a few days ago, and I’ve gotta say, he. ALREADY has a shit ton of influence on my own beats... even more than Madlib, Tyler, DOOM, and Kanye who I’ve listened to for quite awhile now, and it’s only been a few weeks of studying this king of beats!
It's amazing that he didn't act like Kanye and was just an asshole to people because he knows he's a musical genius. J dilla it sucks you couldn't have been here for longer.
+Jack Thornton Agreed but Kanye is far from a musical genius. Nowadays he has teams of people working on everything he makes. Dilla was, and always will be, miles ahead.
Nat Moody thats because he's not just producing he's arranging. George Clinton didnt play every instrument but he was still considered the mastermind producer/ arranger of P-Funk.
You understand that Kanye was one of Dilla's favorite producers... They even worked together and the original 'Takeover' beat was made for J Dilla's solo album
Hunter Kirkland this nigga dilla was bout hood shit, madlib said he seen him getting ready to scrap with niggas, throwing cheese in the club, he was out there
Third Track Off J Dilla's Donuts B-Side. Jay Dee was hood but he was also humble and just like everyone else, he was always on everyones level, miss you dilla, you was the realest
I come back to this interview from time to time to deal with these wack cats who think they so unstoppable. This dude loved his craft and respected originality and work ethic. RIP. THANK YOU JAY DEE
i miss u so much man, its hard watchin this. bout to go play a dilla track rite now. and remember to listen to a dilla track on feb 10th and a nujabes track on feb 26th R.I.P JD wish u were here
Dilla took a page out Eric Sermons book (mid 90s sound) real listeners know. Bass lines & claps, Eric Sermon did it first but JD took it somewhere else.
Shout out to you J Dilla. You're still inspiring and still entertaining and still reminding us to be. Thank you! RIP Oh...and please accept my apologies for the RUclips trending section. People be Runnin' all over that place...and be wishin' and switchin' positions, but none of them are keen or cunnin'
Dope Dilla face sticker on my back windshield rollin' around Detroit showing respect like I'm spose to. Dilla will always be Motown's finest! Rest In Beats
Looks like he has band-aids on his fingers. I heard he used to get blisters and shit from using his MPC so much. The dude's ear for sampling was incredible, it'd be crazy to look through his vinyl collection.
A certain type of hip hop died when Dilla Passed man .. that soulful, smooth jazzy slum village type of hip hop that I loved .. R.I.P.. J Dilla man.. we need somebody like dilla man .. this new age hip hop is gay as fuck ...
@Deyriv i did some research and found out. he was talking about the song called "Shoomp" feat Shaggy. It was released on a '12 as a single. The sample is "Genius of Love" by Tom Tom Club,from 1981
Any chance we can see the full interview? I have heard the audio version but the tape version is shorter? & thank you so much for these uploads. Also any way to make all for videos into one? Instead of four parts? & thank you again this is such a treasure interview
Hey Justin, i only have around 40 minutes of video.. not all footage was good enough and some was just not recorded. Its only missing a couple of minutes.
@3:53 - 4:07 someone used this bit of the interview in a song... it's escaped me who used it, but it's such a beautiful quote about the mystery of inspiration and his process
J dilla was so humble,when we met after one of his performances at the Jazz Cafe on the Jaylib tour
I told him that "he was the greatest,and that nobody couldn't touch him".,,,he was like “thanx man I need to hear that”...I was like "don't you know your the truth ?!Everyone is here to see YOU fam"
He was like "nah" lol
I legit didn’t understand how he could be so great yet so humble,madlib was on stage before KILLING IT
But when Dilla came on…I swear I saw that sh*t in slow motion 😂 😂
You met a god yo! Wish he would've gotten more props from the rest of the world.
Not only is dilla a better producer than Kanye but a better person. Personally!
lying ass didnt meet shit
Lemon Beats im just finding j dilla out and i can definitely hear the influence in my favorite producers and artists
@C Knicks regular with exceptional skills that produced unforgettable work, how you like that?
J dilla seemed like he would be a cool person to chill wit
KOH ProDuctions word
hell yea i can only imagine . smoking, chillin ,talkin dope records, listening to his method , learning from the beat monk RIP DILLA
Smoking good gas and listening to best beats possible
Imagine him , Madlib and J rocc if that don't inspire to wanna make music u trippin
Definitely would be an amazing time.
I can't believe he's gone. One of my major influences as a producer.
+Dayja Mayers He's not gone anywhere
+Squint Raysun He's dead
+Dayja Mayers He is alive
same
Squint Raysun damn ain’t that the truth
I love how Dilla gets so enthused and so hype when he talks about music. He was a true student of the game. RIP to a Legend.
Easily my favorite interview from Dilla. The interviewer did a great job asking the right questions & letting him speak comfortably. rest in beats my man
Capsule71420 did an excellent job! I agree !
Diznika said "Rest in beats"
Dilla was so humble. So open to talk. So happy. I love this man. He is my biggest inspiration. Thank you for everything J.
He got excited when he asked about Madlib
True friends
Rasssclaat
Ok and what's your point?

Happy 49th birthday dilla 🎉 🎉 🎉!!! Remember you was is and will always be a hip hop beatmaking legend, and one of my favorites.
Man it's just so heartbreaking to know that a dude so incredibly talented, so gifted, and such a humble cool person was taken from this world so soon. But at least we got to have him while we did and he left us with some amazing beats to enjoy. RIP Dilla, you were and always will be the best.
Him and Nujabes both. Their deaths have profoundly impacted me

Great interview. Sounds like a natural conversation
This man means so much to us all
got band-aids on his hands from the beat machine. Thats how you know he put in work RIP
+JAMs that's from the vinyl's
It's actually because of his disease, lupus. At least I think so.
For the turntables / touching vinyl
@@rebengas889 why exactly would you do that??
@@ChainsTheChef888 no fingerprints
RIP one of the best that ever done it!! My top three Dj Premier, Pete Rock and J- dilla!!!
its almost criminal to not have Madlib in your top three, to each they own tho brother haha
Best to ever do it!!!! Dr Dre. DJ Premier Timbaland Neptune's Swizz Beats RZA Pete Rock Large Professor Marley Mall J Dilla Q Tip Buckwild Kanye West Just Blaze Marco Polo Alchemist Havoc. Top 3 are Dre...Preemo..and Timbo. hands down!!!
Dangerous Beats!!!! Fam..... u left out MADLIB 😭 check out Statik & Salaam Remi too tho they cool

Hank shocklee and the bombsquad
so much energy just watching him talk, there's more than just knowing your craft, this is the proof!
Dilla's beats will live on FOREVER! LEGENDARY PRODUCER! Rest in paradise
he sounds ridiculously excited just about music. the hip hop/rap game has no idea what it's missing out on.
no he was no "hood nigga" he was a cool dude who was just like us
The man was a God....
@@iii2308 no relax he was a musical Genius such as Rza premo the alchemist & Kanye
@@ProdBySxB nah he above em
@@xdark_matter00 deffo above them
hes 's so humble.RIP one of the greatest of all time
Truly one of the greatest musicians/musical producers of his time. R.I.P. Dilla
This has got to be one of if not the best interviews I've ever heard, music or any topic.
Happy Birthday DILLA!!!!

DILLA IS SUCH A LEGEND. He's missed
He was really happy with his job, this interview got me emotioned.
R.I.P. dawg
I wish he was still here. May God rest his beautiful soul which the hip hop world misses dearly.

Gives me chills when he talks about Madlib. Two geniuses
This makes me feel good. Thank you.
My favorite producer...truly miss his music!! Rest on JD!!!
TELL YOUR KIDS ABOUT DILLA
It's amazing that he didn't act like Kanye and was just an asshole to people because he knows he's a musical genius. J dilla it sucks you couldn't have been here for longer.
+Jack Thornton Agreed but Kanye is far from a musical genius. Nowadays he has teams of people working on everything he makes. Dilla was, and always will be, miles ahead.
u cant compare the 2. smh
Nat Moody thats because he's not just producing he's arranging. George Clinton didnt play every instrument but he was still considered the mastermind producer/ arranger of P-Funk.
You understand that Kanye was one of Dilla's favorite producers...
They even worked together and the original 'Takeover' beat was made for J Dilla's solo album
I can maybe understand your sentiment, but you don't need to use a rare video of a legend to express a negative message about another legendary artist
Rest in peace James I still can't believe you're gone man. DILLA DILLA MIX MIX MIX
I miss you J. Never forget that call man. RIP.
dilla you can tell is a real hood nigga but when you listen to his music you can tell that his environment did not let him shape his music R.I.P Dilla
Hunter Kirkland this nigga dilla was bout hood shit, madlib said he seen him getting ready to scrap with niggas, throwing cheese in the club, he was out there
Paul Lenares yeah man dudes got the wrong view on jay dee lol even he said he would go to the strip clubs for inspiration
