@DESTROY WHITE SUPREMACY BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY Yeah no prob! The sample itself is slowed down a lil bit so it does sound like GSH, but it’s actually Roy Ayers
One of Dilla's greatest beats....He outdid what Pete did to this Roy ayers track. Pete just looped it up an open part but dilla took some chops and just flipped it. Genius
There’s a video of Questlove himself talking about how amazed he was watching Dilla chopping up beats, which is why I love so much that he’s doing the vocal sample live here
Awesome...probably one of the most challenging J'Dilla's beats to play live...Amazing that The Roots crew were able to replicate the sound...#RIPJDILLA
Questlove is the perfect drummer for J Dilla! On Rick Rubin’s podcast he talks about how he landed the drums job on Voodoo for D’Angelo because he was able to do the “sloppy” style that Dilla was famous for.
i wish this type of rap music wouldve been the dominant strain. that people would seen what a cultural phenomen it is. i mean theyre standing in suits in front of a mixed crowd, and kill it. it is so classical and timeless.
I’m 15 and the only aspect in which I’m compatible with my generation is Memes. Apart from that, I’d rather be born much earlier because I can’t fit in. I dislike Anime, Drama, Pop Music, Instagram, and TikTok. The 80s seemed so lit.
@@unclegardener Hahaha I used to feel just like that when I watched Stranger Things and Guardians of The Galaxy “born in the wrong generation” if you will. But then I found out that society wasn’t really different at all especially with riots and everything, the internet just made the issues more apparent. Trust that there are a lot of people like you who are into that real shit and you’ll get to meet them once your in/out of college. I remember needing that advice as a kid cause it was hard to keep moving. “Where you at, I was and where you been I left” -Mos Def Just hold on and you’ll find that you’re just where you need to be.
Hip-hop culture to the designated finest brought to you by Black Starr, The Roots and the one and only producer LIVE IN ETERNAL SPIRIT ALWAYS J.Dilla...🙏🏽📿💯
+In His Image stephen colbert has had mos def and talib kweli perform together on his show and interviewed them, hes had talib perform by himself on the show multiple times
Top 5 Blackstar track!!! "Come here yo, letme drop this on ya, look they got you cornered the corner of the block is hot I aint got to warn.." was the line Kweli stumbled on. Dont blame him this track is a masterpiece that was rarely performed and plus "it ain't about no spectalur ways of rappin just immaculate ways of actions, ya dig! Blackstar J Dilla ?uestLove ..keep movin on and keep movin and keep movin on and keep movin on and on and on ...Soulhop foreva!
Doubly cool considering that ?uestlove was sleeping on J Dee's couch waiting to catch a flight while he made this beat. An excellent tribute having come full circle years later. RIP J DILLA
Shit like this brings a tear to my eye... BLACK STAR representin Jay Dee to the fullest. Now I want Mos Def and Kweli to get back wit Hi Tek to form a Super Trio called either "Black Eternal" or "Reflection Star" and release a dope ass classic album, cause I'm greedy and fiend like that.🤣
I think I just heard this at the end of a fallen clip he posted today about what happened in DC on Wednesday. 2020 sucked but I'm not so sure about 2021. Great song, troubling times
I know I've heard that same sample on a Pete Rock skit for "The Main Ingredient". This is a dope song and Mos & Talib continue to impress me with their thoughtfulness into hip-hop music. This song is so relevant today. Us bigger brothers gotta talk to the little brothers about being something better than what's glorified and personified. It's COOL to just be you and not what you see on tv. Young cat wanna be a rapper cause everybody else doing what they pass for rapping nowadays but he can't read too good, spell, or write a check, or cook for himself, wash his own clothes. We gotta teach the youth life skills and teach them how to be men in a society that calls them animals and savages. Tell 'em to stop murdering each other over silly shit. I made it out the statistics but these kids from 15 to 25 it's like they got death looming over their heads...something gotta change.
A live, oldschool, blackstar, b-side, being done by the the fucking roots?!?!?! well, some big-wig/fat-cat gets some hiphopheadcred for giving this the green light.
Listening in 2024 Weak just get forced out Names is called out, ghetto fame is sought out You wanna be the man that they talk 'bout, I walked out I had some things on my mind to sort out I thought 'bout the wild circumstance we born out Remember myself at your age and I was just like you If that was now, I don't know what I would do My answer's closest to me So what I say to you is goin' for me Son we both still growin' indeed But where you at, I was and where you been, I left Utilize my experience to guide ya step 🎉🎉
This is the hip hop that i miss. No disrespect to the south or west but hip hop is soul, only krit, cole, kendrick and few other artists out the west and south are spittin with soul. Don't get me wrong there are plenty of artists underground who rap with soul that don't get recognized
if yall knew the story behind how j dilla produced this...IT WOULD BLOW YOUR MIND!!! go to the red bull academy lecture w/Questlove and scroll to 01:37:00
maaaannnn I see how Talib started this by saying RIP J DILLA and on his last show he started it by saying RIP BIZ MARKIE he even sung his song bro kwelli has no beef with no body it's all hip hop
This is amazing to see them reunited. Because of Black Star, I fell in love with Hip Hop. Leading me to Common, The Roots, J Dilla and so on. Deep & meaningful
I love how Questlove was singing the vocal chop that's in the original beat. Over 9000
“Now Listen!!”
@DESTROY WHITE SUPREMACY BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY Wrong. It was Roy Ayers
@DESTROY WHITE SUPREMACY BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY No that's still Roy Ayers talking at the beginning of the original song
@DESTROY WHITE SUPREMACY BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY Yeah no prob! The sample itself is slowed down a lil bit so it does sound like GSH, but it’s actually Roy Ayers
🙏🏿
The Roots are damn good being able to recreate that beat on stage. That's some pretty good job
One of Dilla's greatest beats....He outdid what Pete did to this Roy ayers track. Pete just looped it up an open part but dilla took some chops and just flipped it. Genius

Check out The Roots remake of Donuts. It's AMAZING!!
Maybe one of the most challenging to play live, but MOSt DEFinitely the most challenging beat ever made.
The Roots definitely "went in" on this one!!!
Questlove is the perfect drummer for J Dilla! On Rick Rubin’s podcast he talks about how he landed the drums job on Voodoo for D’Angelo because he was able to do the “sloppy” style that Dilla was famous for.
Very complex to do live ❤👏🏾
Quest doing the vocal sample is such a beautiful touch, this is legendary

@@unclegardener you on the right path bro .. just do you
This performance is incredible.
Breath control they display is masterful
Beautiful music. Thieves in the night by blackstar another gem by these boys.
agreed
Questlove & the Bassist did their thing! JDilla was genius.
not sure how I did it, but I've been sleeping on Mos Def for the last 5 years. shame on me, but better late than never for sure
Better late than never. This is the true nature of hip hop - fable storytelling and positive message sharing. Enjoy.
Check out 'Close Edge' if you haven't already
Get the BLACKSTAR album if you haven't
Last 5 years? Nigga Black On Both Sides came out in 99, that is his best album, fucking legendary shit too
Facts right there, killa
"Where you at I was and where you been I left, utilize my experience and guide yourself" smooth delivery and wise words!
0:18 love that switch
props to jimmy fallon he always has real hip hop on his show
a beautiful track, thanks j.dilla, and a beautiful message..thanks Blackstar! real hip hop
My favorite part is ?uest kept the consistency of the beat sample by saying "now listen."
Hip-hop culture to the designated finest brought to you by Black Starr, The Roots and the one and only producer LIVE IN ETERNAL SPIRIT ALWAYS J.Dilla...🙏🏽📿💯
what can you say?? Perfection. Props to fallon- would t be catching this anywhere else on network tv.

They gonna drop something soon I know its late but hey perfection isn't easy to achieve Lol
Blackstar 2 dropping potentially in 2020 fully produced by MADLIB. they have 8 tracks recorded all together currently
Their voices alone are instruments on its own. Such texture!
This is amazing !!! J Dilla is everywhere !!!!
Just found this. My dreams have come true. Black Star forever ✌🏾
Bassist really held it down. And Quest. And the keys. And Mos/Kweli.
This is definitely one of the songs that made me fall in love with hip hop. Who More than 10 years later..joint still sounds soulfully
dope. #Realness
Top 5 Blackstar track!!! "Come here yo, letme drop this on ya, look they got you cornered the corner of the block is hot I aint got to warn.." was the line Kweli stumbled on.

Shellz386 he literally said RIP DILLA
One of the best hip-hop songs of ALL time.
Doubly cool considering that ?uestlove was sleeping on J Dee's couch waiting to catch a flight while he made this beat. An excellent tribute having come full circle years later. RIP J DILLA
Soulquarians forever.

I would love to hear the band recreate Respiration Flying High Remix like this.
True emceeing
the fact that this happened is amazing
Shit like this brings a tear to my eye... BLACK STAR representin Jay Dee to the fullest.
Now I want Mos Def and Kweli to get back wit Hi Tek to form a Super Trio called either "Black Eternal" or "Reflection Star" and release a dope ass classic album, cause I'm greedy and fiend like that.🤣
dear unknown deity, i wish they will make a new record; i will yell praises to you.
How I miss this music!!! Just happy I got to see both brothers LIVE! From South Africa!
Funky Drummer
Only 200k views, but Sexxy Red and Sukihana get 2.9M in three weeks. Glad I’m from Generation X.
This performance is perfect. Everything about it. That's why I listen to it everyday. It just beautiful
"Hey listen"
The 12 people who disliked this doesn’t understand what good music is.
What a classic. Its great people come here to listen to good music and not diss or criticize for the sake of it.
Well done men. Years and years of dedication right there. RIP Rubin Hurricane Carter.
What an album this would be... Black Star album with beats done by the roots...
Peace to the roots and jimmy fallon real shit
man what can i say... what a privilege to see this!
Black Star feat. The Roots
Glad I found this. So amazing
Dilla flipped hip hop on its head and helped the genre create moments like this. Yasiin.. you’re a god.
I'M IN LOVE WITH THIS VERSION OF THE SONG....ALL THE WAY LIVE.
Me and boy are going to remake this song and do a video inspired by this performance. Suits and everything
I think I just heard this at the end of a fallen clip he posted today about what happened in DC on Wednesday. 2020 sucked but I'm not so sure about 2021. Great song, troubling times
Peace to Blackstarr! Big up to Yasiin Bey
This shit go. Dilla forever

Jeneral J.U.-ICE Show Biz and AG used the same sample by Roy Ayers in '92 for Runaway Slaves.
one of the best hip hop duo
My Boys. Very Underrated
A live, oldschool, blackstar, b-side, being done by the the fucking roots?!?!?! well, some big-wig/fat-cat gets some hiphopheadcred for giving this the green light.
*Listen to the work of my brother FEELFOUND, he really needs support, he is trying. 💯*
Gratitude
Ps Dilla Lives
"now listen"
Listening in 2024
Weak just get forced out
Names is called out, ghetto fame is sought out
You wanna be the man that they talk 'bout, I walked out
I had some things on my mind to sort out
I thought 'bout the wild circumstance we born out
Remember myself at your age and I was just like you
If that was now, I don't know what I would do
My answer's closest to me
So what I say to you is goin' for me
Son we both still growin' indeed
But where you at, I was and where you been, I left
Utilize my experience to guide ya step
🎉🎉
Not at all surprised to see that this video has zero dislikes
Nice to come back for the new year. 😊
dope... cant believe im seeing this for the for the time..

Anybody know what kind of mics they're using? Classy.
A pure classic
One of my favourite Dilla Beats...#ripdilla
Questo is beyond amazing on the traps!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dope emcees
Where is this song available for download? I can't find it on itunes. Werent they supposed to drop a mixtape?
if yall knew the story behind how j dilla produced this...IT WOULD BLOW YOUR MIND!!! go to the red bull academy lecture w/Questlove and scroll to 01:37:00
THAT SAMPLE IS HOW THEY'RE DOING IT A SERVICE.THIS IS HOW YOU DO AN ALBUM AND IT'S SAMPLES "JUSTICE"!!!!!!
my man in the back playing the tuba at 1:37 even had to stop to rock with it...lol
Clinton Russell Great comment.

Who the hell was the dullard who disliked this video.
Why this song didnt make it on a album is questionable...classic, classic, classic...black star keep shinin
Its on the hurricane movie soundtrack
Still a banga in 2022. Real hip hop will never die!!! RIP Dilla
PETE DID IT SOME JUSTICE TOO,BUT....DILLA REDESTROYED IT ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ REST IN BEATS BRUTHA.

The tuba player has nailed pretend playing. Fake it till you make it. Am I right?...

I just adore the fact jimmy Fallon has soul!
Oh god
This is amazing to see them reunited. Because of Black Star, I fell in love with Hip Hop. Leading me to Common, The Roots, J Dilla and so on. Deep & meaningful
The Soulquarians were the real deal. I miss them (RIP Dilla). They really should throw something down again...even Badu.
Isaac Johnson Soulquarians is my favorite era of music period........ it's so pure and smooth
"My ears are closest to me so what I say to you you is going for me"...
Wow.. they remade this with that Dilla timing. Spot on. #TheRootsisStillmyfavband
