If you've ever been determined to sample a song, but there's too much talking/singing, you know about making 'micro-chops'. I just never knew Dilla already did it!! Goes to show you, nothing you do is original. On the backs of giants!!!
There's always a way to solve a problem in music. It's easier for us now because we can have access to stems in Tracklib and there's websites that are getting better at separating track stems. But back in the day, you really had to be creative to achieve the sound you were looking for.
@@BackToTheBoomBap these kids got it easy!! 1.44 megabytes used to be huge!!!
@@BackToTheBoomBap I just sample from RUclips. I don't use any fancy stems 😹
@@BackToTheBoomBap 🎹 And you can literally see what you're doing now! Where all of the mistakes are in all of the Daws. People take for granted how the producers in the 80s, 90s, and probably early, early 2000s, had to perform some surgery just to fill in gaps on the samples where time stretching didn't work well enough. Or, just samples in general that were never meant to loop or sound right and just making them sound good.
🎹 And having to really train your ears to identify the proper key when syncing all elements of the instrumentation
🎹People need to talk more about Q-Tip. He doesn't get enough credit for being one of the best producers ever. He literally constructed 3 of the best sample-produced albums of all time, People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm, The Low End Theory & Midnight Marauders. With The Low End Theory literally being a toss-up with the Chronic for being the best-produced album sonically & creatively of all time.
🎹 Those Q-Tip-produced Albums were and are masterpieces. And this was before Dilla even came in the picture
@@kiambupowell2700 Thanks for this! I was just thinking about this when I watched Premier's new video yesterday. We have more than what producers had back in the day but they were able to do make classics even with having to hook up all those machines and plugging up sync boxes and stuff. But today we take the technology for granted. Our hard drives, technology and processing power is a dream for sample based producers but we don't take advantage of it like we should. And as far as Q-Tip goes, I marvel at what he was able to do because the samples in those Tribe songs came from everywhere but it never sounded busy or out of key. And Tip's juxtaposition of jazzy samples with neck snapping snares thumping kicks and deep basslines is art in and of itself.
“I’m just practicing” is about the best piece of advice you can ever get as a musician. Process over outcome, always
Process over outcomes - realest advice. Respect
that clip of 9th wonder playing it for a class gave me chills
I got a big ol' grin when they started feeling it; that's some true appreciation for the master.
I cringed at how off-beat some people were nodding
Me too
That video is on RUclips somewhere, if you wanna watch it.
@@TWENTYELBRIDGE let people feel music how they want
Dilla was special. He just went deeper than everyone else. Heard things other people didn't. He did more with less.
THATS REAL TALK IVE DONE SO MUCH DOPE STUFF WITH LESS NOW I HAVE ALL THIS TECHNOLOGY AND EQUIPTMENT IM OVERWHELMED LOL ITS A GIFT AND A CURSE
It really is a curse disguised as the next thing that will make your beats perfect.
I feel like when i started out with the minimum i was more productive and fast about making music.
Too many choices is not good when creating something and slows you down, taking away the creative flow. Many great artists will say that you need to limit yourself.@@fantaztikbeatz
I remember when I used to say things like "The Beatles are overrated" and then I learned to play the easiest instrument available, the bass guitar, and just learning that language opened my eyes to soo much. Learning about timing signatures and how song are layered soon gave me such an appreciation for DJ's (real ones) and producers. So much is happening and all under the control of a good beat maker and I love it.
They are still overrated they get treated like gods for some simple music and you can say they where the first.but no just the first to make it big
@@ikedewinter1213 they were definitely not the first to make it big, their music is not simple, you just don’t understand anything about music
@@ikedewinter1213 I agree. They were overrated and I've never played an instrument in my life so I could never truly understand but some of their songs are classics and original. If you listen to their voices, they werent' exactly "singers" either. Some great rock music came out of the UK; Beatles and more. Is there a Dilla microchop of the Beatles?
@@Jonathan-js3bx eh I’m a musician and while I appreciate their impact, they’re very overrated
@@dante44dj89 ringo Starr yes. On in the streets
IT TAKES TIRELESS DEDICATION TO YOUR CRAFT TO LEAD TO GREATNESS... and i'm over here stressing. Thank you for the video. I needed to hear & see a legend at work.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video. 👊
I needed your comment bro!!!! We got it
Man, that conversation between Dilla and Questlove is something else. I always want to show my heroes my productions because I am excited about them, but I never saw until this moment that it can come across like competitive or aggressive. I admire that he didn’t seek to gain admiration or props from his heroes and he just did it for himself with no intentions to share it with the world. So much to learn from in this video. Thank you for sharing!
I glad you enjoyed it. When I first read that article that contained that conversation, I never knew that I would be acting it out for somewhat of a comedic effect. But I really do think that it's an interesting push and pull that Dilla had to be audacious enough to wanna flip a sample that Pete Rock used, but yet humble enough to not want anybody else to hear it.
J-Dilla was truly something special.
"Donuts" wasn't released posthumously. It released on Jay Dee's birthday, a few days before his death.
Thanks for that. You are right about that. I'm gonna issue that correction more than likely in a future video.
Is it ok if I credit you by name for reminding me of that?
@@BackToTheBoomBap What a beautiful exchange both y'all are sweethearts
great work on the video dude!!! Bless kweli for giving us the beat, just learned so much I never knew. Thanks!
When I saw the cover of Rapper Big Pooh's LP sleepers, I thought he was emulating Dilla's donuts cover but I realized that LP came out when Dilla was alive.
@@natnaelberhanu-i8wI forgot about that. Those covers are really similar.
I'm issuing a correction to something I said in this video. I said that Donuts was a posthumous album. It actually was released on February 7, 2006, his 32nd birthday, three days before his death. I love boom bap and the topics related to it that I talk about and accuracy is very important to me. So thank you for those of you who watched the video and reminded me of this fact and I hope that you all will continue to hold me accountable. Thank y'all.
The new book Dilla Time, as mentioned in the video, is a must read, btw. Awesome super-informative book on many levels.
Nice video. Thanks.
I got this video recommended to me as I have the book in hand :) I’m hyped to read it bad I’m barely finishing the note from the author on it lol
That part where they all did the hand movements together matching the way the chop would be played is incredible that's really a if u know u know type of thing
I was looking for a mention on the comment the narrator made about the " weird coincidence" that those hand gestures were that HE Clearly didn't understand.. before I wrote about it.. but you hit it first. Like you previously said.. it's an " If you Know type of thing".. so yeah. 💪 Big Up
Absolute legend, wish more people gave him the respect he deserves.
Slowly, I just learnt about him last night from edtalenti
What do you mean. He's one of the most respected producers in the music scene. Don't wanna sound like an asshole but almost everyone has heard of Dilla. Not only in HipHop, even EDM producers give him a lot of credit
He’s the most widely praised producer in hip hop history lol.. Not some obscure hidden gem.
Who doesn't?
They do they just want to hear the lame mumble bullshit all day.
Even when in the clip here of the Vox video they said don't cry "gives me goosebumps" I got chills all over again like always...
Yes it's very touching. Especially when you put his artistry in context of what he was going through in the months leading up to his death and creating this music.
Don't cry is amazing
@@BackToTheBoomBap What was he going through?
@@SlickzMadeThat his illness that lead to his untimely demise
This is awesome. I'm listening to the J Dilla audiobook right now.
Which one?

@@AstonishingSodApe Dilla Time by Dan Charnas
I love videos like this that takes a deep dive behind the scenes of some great J Dilla beats. He was a master musician and had such innovative techniques with producing. Hes still my favorite producer because of his crazy range in hip hop and this encapsulated a timeless sound for every track he did. Also, ive never felt such a deep emotional impact from just instrumentals. I appreciate this video and hope to see more about this master.
Thank you for your watching the video, your kind words, and your thoughtful comment! If you love J Dilla's music you're alright with me. Not sure if you've seen this video I'm linking you from my channel yet, but if you liked that one you'll definitely like this one. It's on J Dilla talking about his beatmaking process ruclips.net/video/4v_QGGvoJew/видео.htmlsi=Bc8ijnBeVkntpiEA
Dilla the great!!! Worked 9 hours a day on beats relentlessly!!
The stories of not wanting to outshine your idols is crazy and they go more in depth on that story in the Donuts book by Jordon Ferguson as well as the newer book Dilla Time
One of my favorite videos on you tube. I go back to it to keep me inspired.
I appreciate that so much! 🙏I'm humbled by your comment and I'm glad my content could provide inspiration to you. 👊
You got me with the Little Brother my dude!!! Love some LB and the Justus League!!
I feel more accomplished now seeing this video. I've been doing this for a while and never knew it was deemed as such a feat. I always felt like I wasn't doing enough with the beat when I microchop. I feel like it's easy. I really need to link up with more producers. Lol. I love chopping samples. Especially as someone who actually plays instruments, you can appreciate the choice of placement for the chops more. Thanks for the video. This kind of blew some new air in my producer lungs.
My copy Dilla Time just arrived in the mail today. Wasn’t expecting it to be as big and detailed as it appears to be from a quick skim through. Plus it’s a hard cover.
RIP DILLA.
Yep big book. I'm still not done reading it yet.
Thank you for you comment, I didn't know this book existed, I just ordered it, such a must have
@@musgoone I didn’t know it existed until a few weeks ago. Apparently it was released last month.

Thanks. If you're thinking about it, you should do content too. Because I actually do feel like these topics aren't talked about enouth. The more the better.
@@BackToTheBoomBap yeah man that's what I mean. There's like infinite depth to the intricacies of dilla work, especially the earlier stuff. I'm kinda bored of people telling me how donuts was made, show me a breakdown of the 96 beat tapes hell yeah haha
@@Elliott.Revell making this kind of content is so wild because some people want in depth breakdowns and some people think breakdowns breed imitation. So all I can really do is just do my best in providing quality content and let the chips fall where they may.

You're welcome and thank you! I've been sitting here trying to figure out why my views are down on my channel but I need to remember to be grateful for people like you who enjoy my content. I really do appreciate you. This means a lot!
Great video.
What a coincidence! I really like J Dillas music and also this last sunday a friend who himself is a music producer learned me the basics of using MPCs (He collects MPCs and similar devices like crazy and is a hell of a beatmaker using them) including chopping and how it is done and then he refered to J DIlla when refering the MPC 3000 and to go and look for videos with him using these on RUclips. RUclips must be a mindreader becasue i have not activley searched for it yet but here it is still automatically in my flow!
I'm so glad I could be the result of a positive coincidence for you! I think it's called serendipity.
Superb video, up there with the Vox one, it makes a great companion piece to watch after/before the vox one, thank you for the upload - subscribed

Thanks for this bro
You're welcome and thank you! 👊
love this part, just epitomizes how melodies can put us in sync 3:20 When 9th wonder on the mic and the guy next to him do that hand gesture
So basically track the transients and chop accordingly?
Great Job Bro!!!✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾💯💯💯💯
Appreciate it bro! 👊
Reminds me of microhouse like Akufen, except they make it sound choppy on purpose sometimes
Keep bringing the heat bro
Gratitude... Best vid I seen sofar that shows Dilla (ase) wasn`t just looping sample chops
You're welcome. Thanks to you for watching. It's a lot of people talking about how to make beats from their own perspective so with this channel I wanted to something different.
I love the way you did this video.
thanks a lot! I had no idea that this video would do as well as it did. Until recently, the average video on my channel would get like 200-500 views. Be sure to check out the other J Dilla videos on my channel as well. I got another one that I'm releasing on 9/11.
That little brother track is a true master piece
Dilla Time is proving to be a very good book.
Don't cry is my favorite JDilla song.
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
3:34 @ that point I was like "yooo I do that every friggin time!"
It really is a producer thing
mane this a dope vid fr! gotta have a vid on how dilla knew how to make "type beats" sound exactly like a type beat. like how he knows how to sound exactly like madlib, but u can hear dillas sound infused with that style
Str8 up this was inspirational...
And that is why he's the greatest.
Much Gratitude
Thanks to you too. 🙏 It's my pleasure.

I found you on the Grow your Gaming Channel in the comment section and originally I just subbed to support you. Im only halfway through and this is great, on top of the fact Ive always been interested in remixing music. I heard you have a full time job, well definitely dont stop doing this because youve definitely got talent.
Thank you! I think it's awesome that you found me in the comments section of another channel. Yes, I do have a full time job. And unfortunately it's not this yet. But thank you for the kind words. They motivate me to keep going.
Awesome video! Much appreciated.
Thanks🙏 and you're welcome.
I thought every producer that samples does this. It seems inevitable when you work with samples- simple looping gets boring very fast, and every producer wants to do something new and unexpected.
Most do. But everyone has to Kobe-fy anyone that dies early now.
Kinda like how Nipsey was going to change the world. You know, that type of bulllshit
Yeah but this was back before it was as easy as doing it on a computer
@@ES2990 if you spend 18 hours a day on your mpc2000 then it quickly becomes as easy to chop and flip samples as in a modern daw. Obviously in modern daw it's easy to chop from the get go, but it's not very hard even on the early hardware samplers if you put your practice in it.
I been making beats since the late 90's and I just assumed every producer did this through trial and error. If you look at styles breakcore artists flip on the drums you might consider changing the name to marcochopping or consider what they are doing is nanochopping lol depending on your point of view.
Love the shoutout to breakcore
@@metalfacemartinez :) someone was bound to say it.
Dilla beats ridiculous. The best to ever do it!
And this is how creative sampling is done folks!
As great as dilla was the best quality wAs how humble and down to earth he was. There’s a story his mom tells about getting a call from a friend that her son was on a cover of a magazine and she had no idea. He had done a song for Janet Jackson and made a cover of some magazine and never even told his mom. When she asked him why he didn’t say anything he just shrugged and said cuz it’s about the music. Dilla is the GOAT
Ever since Dilla Passed.. Beats not gonna be the same Again.. I am only Holding on to Madlib and Alchemist.. just because
That man was a blessing from the heavens of music
That’s just microchopping. Drunk tempo Drum God! 🔥🔥🔥✊🏾🙏🏾
Much love for posting this. However, the reactions make me wonder if any of today's producers or listeners are easily impressed. As amazing as this technique may seem, quite a few people have done it over the years across multiple genres. I've loved J Dilla since the early beat tapes were being passed around and traded by hand, "before" the internet. But, I must say his genius, like the genius of so many artists is in his ear and the way he puts things back together. The techniques and tools are available to all. The fact that Questlove was amazed lets me know that at the time, his exposure to advanced sampling techniques had to be non-existent. Some of these industry cats only know what is in the mainstream but not in the underground. People were doing this on the original MPC 2000.
I appreciate you watching this video and for your comment. I'm happy to create content like this because it interests me. There are many people who have a cursory understanding of hip-hop production. I to some degree may be one of them. People who have been producing for many years and also have a natural talent for it intuitively have a better grasp on things. Also, there may have been others who were able to do this same technique but didn't have the good fortune of being able to let the world hear it. Thirdly, like all other human beings, Dilla was unique. No one sounds like him. No one sounds like Pete Rock. No other producer sounds exactly like Premier. But at the end of the day, I made this channel because I like learning about hip-hop production of my favorite producers. Rap is my first love but since I started producing, I love that too.
I agree. As a producer, this was how I learned. Chopping samples on the kicks and snares and flipping them (on the MPC 2000 no less). The impressive part, to me, would be his "digging in the crates" game. Dilla's ear was amazing, as a million other producers could've had the same sample and not come with that piece of genius. But Dilla had so many other tricks and techniques in his bag to make up his sound that they could probably do a mini-series.
When I started I did this to camouflage the material I used because I never wanted to "get in trouble" great way to be more creative and kinda be traditional. Took me a long time to even learn about clearance, selling or buying, so much fear in the game. Now it's so popular everybody just doing whatever I guess.
It's not that the technique per se is original (or even all that difficult), but the fact that he did it on old-school equipment and sampled everything himself from vinyl. I think it's easy to forget these days--with DAWs and modern MPCs and sample packs--how much skill and ear it took to chop like this. And an MPC 2000 is actually a pretty "modern" instrument--earlier MPCs were much harder to use. Try doing this on an MPC 60!
@@dsepkosk i was just thinking the exact thing.. great comment
Mind blowing! How did he chop the drums to make the vocals in the sample match perfect wit the drums....?🤔
That's the thing that kinda gets me too.

Favorite Dilla Beat - Sometimes (Remix) the Brand New Heavies
I be bumping that in the car a lot! It's not my favorite but it's really dope!
“regardless of what came with it” nah he most definitely knew he was doing there!!!
I noticed everyone nodding and playing the air mpc. 🤣 Being an FL Studio user… I don’t air mpc. 😢
I'm an FL Studio user too. Sometimes I air MPC just to do it 😂
use controller pads... same shit as an mpc
@@Alejandrakoxxx or cop an MPC. Controller pads? Nah man
FPC and MPD
@@alchemistrpm82 still works, fl can emulate the effects of an mpc through the engineering. It would be best to just get an mpc, but their a tad bit harder to find in top condition.
oh that's what we are calling it now lol..... I would credit Primo for that style as well, that's who influenced me the most as far as chopping, but Dilla is one of the gods
Oh yeah Preemo is the man. Always! I'll be doing more vids on him too.
Premo is a god but his chops are usually limited to 4 or 5 max.
If you remake a premo beat and then don't cry by dilla, you'll see what the video is trying to convey, many many chop's which are harder to program, especially with the kicks and snares sitting in the chop's, which need to stay in time. 90% of the time premo is flipping open samples with no percussion, or retriggering the same "microchop" ala full clip.
@@yanceyboyz I believe the word you are looking for is “Stabs”
@@yanceyboyz I strongly disagree, that’s just moving the goal post. Kind of an insult to say Primo was limited to a smaller amount of chops, different samples call for different slices. The video was praising Dilla for creating entirely different melodies out of chops, I just disagree with him being the sole originator of that.
I’m speaking from my personal influences and experience. When I got into sampling, I always tended to experiment with chops opposed to straight loops, and that consist of slicing in obscure places to get a certain sound. In my mind at the time, that was me emulating Preme. I even credit RZA to an extent. I was into darker melodies, and when sampling old love songs, you have to do surgery to get to that flip. I give Dilla more credit in not quantizing his drums. He emphasized getting the human feel out of a mpc. That and his catalogue makes him a god already. Crowning him the sole originator of this style of sampling is a bit too much credit in my eyes, but we can respectfully disagree.
@@yanceyboyz different musicians do different things with different techniques. Dilla beats hit me emotionally like no one else; no one gets my head nodding more than Primo in his prime. Respect for them all
Making music is like God in the garden of Eden. U mode it n breath life in it. 🔥🔥🔥🇿🇲
Thanks to the book "Dilla Time", we now know Dilla made Donuts NOT on the MPC...which is even more crazy! Salute to the Legend!
👊! It brings back memories of my last year of college when I see the name Edgar Allen Floe. Anyone who had anything to do with Little Brother and the Justus League could do no wrong in my book.
