Jay, Tip and Ali Shaheed were the production group known as The Ummah. They basically produced all of the songs for Tribe’s fourth and fifth albums. It’s safe to say there are probably many scrapped tracks or concepts that did or didn’t get explored or released.
What I love is his unpredictability with his sound. He switches is up, changes styles and brings in sounds you cannot imagine. Then his drums to top it of, which are the best drums from any producer in the history of music. Natural vibes with a deep feeling that cannot be redone. Dilla Is Dilla
Sample of R.A.M.P (roy ayers music project) song "Daylight". This was originally sampled by A Tribe Called Quest on "Bonita Applebaum". Dilla was paying tribute to one of his influeces...Q Tip.
I'd give it a down vote if he was alive. I only like one song of his and it was more of a west coast beat. I hate jazz and people who don't like his samples probably hate jazz too
Dilla's music is like no other in the sense that, When listening I can picture myself, in a different country, in a different reality, at a different time, and truly believe im there. I can reminisce about the good old days even though I was not alive to witness them. Songs like these remind are special to me, because no matter how shitty life gets, how poor i end up, jobless , on welfare, no matter what.....if I can listen to some dilla and light a joint I can escape from the harsh realities of life
Paul Stoddard He could’ve already known that. It’s just quicker to say Bonita as shorthand rather than namechecking the RAMP song name that not every viewer here knows
Been listening to Dilla since 2005 2006,, and I've NEVER heard this joint. That's the beauty of his music, there's so many tapes and instrumentals your still stumbling upon them over 10 years later. Return If Possible, Dilla. ✌️
You’re lame man. I see how old the comment is, but come on!!?? This is not an obscure instrumental; this was the official remix to “come close”. It features a verse from Pharrell and, I believe Mos Def. If you really were listening to Dilla back then, there’s no excuse for not knowing this song. Edit: my bad: Q-Tip obviously for the multiple Tribe homages, not Mos Def.
@@79Glitch don’t forget that it’s Common’s song. Other than that, yeah, ol’ boy was apparently sleeping back then since the joint wasn’t some unused beat.
@@apexone5502 I heard the instrumental 4-5 years (approx.) before the Common remix, though. All the real fans had the Dilla beat tape bootlegs. Edit: my bad. Second time my dates have been wrong about this same post. I think I got the beat tapes right around the time of his death, or soon after. I was thinking “come close” (produced by The Neptunes) was a song off that Neptunes heavy Common record in the ‘08 - ‘09 period, the one where Pharrell flipped the Biggie “dreams of f’n an rnb bitch” James Brown sample, but played it live. But I looked it up and “come close” was actually on the second Dilla project Electric Circus. I guess my time periods are blending together. I’m 43 now, so a lot stuff does tend to blend together, I guess. Peace
Whoooooooooo.....there are soooo many bangers out there. This definitely ranks high on my list of favorites. DAMN...I am so glad I grew up in the era of the great Hip Hop producers. I'll be pressing repeat on this for the next two hours.........thank you so much for posting this!!
+Jeremiah Vink technically this is and isn't roy ayers ..this sample is from the band "ramp" the song is called "daylight" i first herd this sample used in the bonita joint in my youth but years later i discovered the sample itself in gta 4 lol.....now it is and isn't roy ayes because Mr. ayers wasn't apart of the band HOWEVER he in fact did write and produce for the band ...just saying ...and don't get mad a folks bro ..the just get excited to share what they know just because its obvious to you don't mean its obvious to them try to keep an open mind brother
Well it's still a Roy Ayers sample because he wrote and produced the song, for RAMP & lol but seriously it's 2015 If they look through the comment section they'll see a bunch of comments saying this has got to do with both Roy Ayers and RAMP
The way the original track is almost ethereal in the background has me feeling like he's still doing this from beyond the veil, RIP JD the #1 soul brotha
its kinda scary how far away im from dillas greatness in music right now, ive come such a long way but man to reach my master i will have to work so much and thats so exciting.
+yeahhhboiii16 Dilla was a master, no doubt but there are other beat makers who I'd personally rate just as highly like Flying Lotus, Madlib, Havoc, RZA, Dre and Stoupe just off the top of my head.
One of the greatest beats I’ve ever heard.
Damn, the way he flipped Bonita applebum is crazy. Gave it a whole different vibe.
That's y Q-Tip was on here

I think Madlib the goat and I have to agree that Dilla drums are the best ever!
those subtle stops make all the difference. fuckin beat genius.
Check out 9th wonder or the maestro dj premier
+Dani Zareen you know its good when you listen to it 500 times and each time is like the first
yo like we dont know 9th wonder or premier... they great, but aren't on jay dee's level
LexxMachinima yeah but by the first 2 I was sold
oh my god I see u everywhere😭

+Nathan israel I think this one is so better
TheDonutManVibingOut It's entitled "On The One" from Jay Dee's "Vintage" CD on Bling47 💯

I like dillas flip better
Yes but he made it 10 times better
The best there was, there is and ever will be! RIP Jdilla, your music lives on forever!
The excellence of producing J "Hitmaker" Dilla.✊
This joint is so sweet 🎯✨️💫
Who else stumbled upon this beat after drifting into that zone of RUclips which featured dilla instrumentals? My goodness.
+BeastNation2009 so lush
The best place of hip hop on YT.
BeastNation2009 I did brother
jus did
BeastNation2009 always..! 05:10 am #UK time -5 word..!
The goat for a reason
There really shouldn't be any dislikes on any Dilla beats AT ALL!!!!!! Respect!!!!!
+Larry Curry Yeah, those poor four people must be deaf smh....
+Larry Curry my only dislike is that thisdoesn't go onforever...
I hear ya on that
I'd give it a down vote if he was alive. I only like one song of his and it was more of a west coast beat. I hate jazz and people who don't like his samples probably hate jazz too
Larry Curry
personal preference not everyone has the same experiences leading to different perspective
God needed some quality production up in heaven. RIP 👑
Wonderful comment.
best comment ever lol
all the little details are mindblowing, jay always took it to another level
The details…
This man will always be a legend RIP Dilla
There was music before Dilla, then there was music after Dilla, the man single-handedly changed all modern music!,, That’s why he is 2nd to none!,
I listen to many types of music, and these beats are still the best music i have ever heard. RIP J DILLA
Only producer of music in any genre that I get chills up my spine every time I listen to him
Cleanest mix I’ve ever heard in my adult life.
and to think this is just some random ass low quality mp3 uploaded 10 years ago and its still sounds so good :D

That was deep brother I just smoked to blunts while listening to this, I feel you brother
I feel that.as does every single Dilla head
Dilla's music is perfect for a high
Well said brother ✊✊✊
This is one of the best J Dilla instrumentals of all time , it’s really really good 🔥.
J Dilla is still with us, all you gotta do is hit play 💞
Ain't that nothing but the TRUTH brother! Still finding beats never heard before.
Indeed
Lovin the Bonita sample.
I love you
Paul Stoddard He could’ve already known that. It’s just quicker to say Bonita as shorthand rather than namechecking the RAMP song name that not every viewer here knows
Sampled from Daylight by RAMP (Roy Ayers Music Project)
@@KaizerBeatz-vf9wf nah know the original song cuz that’s the song that makes it all possible
@@slowedman8067 pause
Such smooth vibes. RIP Dilla.

Who else ABSOLUTELY HAS to listen to J Dilla as you fall asleep🤷🏽♀️Simply the best there was or ever will be🙌🏾RIP Jay Dee🙏🏾❤️🥂💃🏾
At 2:55 he opens the door for us to walk into a different room then quickly closes it just to tease, absolute legend
goddamn, so pleasurable and satisfying. there's no way this can be improved or be better, it's literally perfect
Reuniting with this beat again four years later , still hits the same , that’s the sorcery of dilla
goodness... I will always be Madlib number 1 fan.... but Dilla is my Pops with this music and prince is the master
The Roy Ayers sample though 😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰🥰
J Dilla el maestro del beat, sin duda...R.I.P hermano !
Saludos de Chile !

Rest In Paradise Dilla 🙏🏿🙏🏿
Dilla face sticker on my back windshield rollin' around Detroit showing respect like I'm suppose to. Dilla will always be Detroit's finest! R.I.Beats
J Dee the legend🐐
What If people stopped commenting on how obviously the Roy Ayers sample was used here and just enjoy the beat ??
Agreed.
Jeremiah Vink Cause dey like to compare their tiny dicks

There was music before Dilla, there is music after Dilla, he literally changed modern music!
He is 2nd to none!,
Just when you think dilla can’t be any more great then he is you get reminded
This sound like something Dwele would sing on which J Dilla did produce some of his music
daleshareemlee some 2000s vibes fr
I just can't stop playing it
200k of the views are just of me vibing to this
Grandson: 'Grandpa, who is J Dilla"
Me: Sit down kid, I have a story to tell...
.....And he lived happily ever after."
Insane beat by Dilla, no doubt.
A fly love!
Every dilla beat has a certain time to switch into you and to bring out your self..❤️jay dee..

+yeahhhboiii16 Dilla was a master, no doubt but there are other beat makers who I'd personally rate just as highly like Flying Lotus, Madlib, Havoc, RZA, Dre and Stoupe just off the top of my head.

+Michael P yo yo affair and maybe steal this beat from madlib match with this imo

This that Drive by yourself when the Sun is setting, and smoking a Wine B&M or a Blunt just vibing to the instrumental!
Or a good Cognac and a Gurkha.

Cleannnnnnnnn
Beat genius!
Straight 🔥🔥🔥🔥RIP Dilla You The Great!!
Sample: RAMP - Daylight
Smooth as butter.
Could very easily see slick rick spitting something over this.
shit! he can! he still makes music!
A dilla beat always sounds like a dilla beat no matter how many times you listen to it
All kinds of crazy samples going on in this one. Could it be the same sample as "Flyyy" on 0:43?
Doesn't sound like it imo
Sample=Daylight by RAMP.......Did JD work on Bonita Applebum with Tribe?
Rest in Beats Jay Dee
Man... I’m inlove.
I love the Bonita Apple Plum vibe🎉❤
Who else feels like this should have been the version on the *"Electric Circus"* album?
Come Close...Come Closer. I definitely feel a connection there.
Electric Circus sounded very Roy Ayers inspired as well.
so smooth.....
type shit my uncle used to play over his house with the subs buzzing. can smell the sandalwood burning and backwood smoke to this day
A summer song and beat in the park in NYC Brooklyn’s Prospect Park.
OooooooooWeeeeeeeee......stumble acrossed puttin in work....
Man I don't know if this video is good or bad for hip-hop. I just love the nostalgia of not knowing where the samples stem from.
You can hear the Q-tip and Ali Shaheed influence here. A lot of Tribe vibrations in this. - And it even samples Bonita Applebum.
Listen to this remix all the time....Never knew it was a Dilla beat!!!
bonita applebaum, ya got it goin on'
