@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!
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 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 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
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 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.
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

Quest doing the vocal sample is such a beautiful touch, this is legendary

"Where you at I was and where you been I left, utilize my experience and guide yourself" smooth delivery and wise words!

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 ❤👏🏾
The Roots are damn good being able to recreate that beat on stage. That's some pretty good job
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.
Amen! Well said.

Questlove & the Bassist did their thing! JDilla was genius.
props to jimmy fallon he always has real hip hop on his show
Their voices alone are instruments on its own. Such texture!
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...🙏🏽📿💯

Just found this. My dreams have come true. Black Star forever ✌🏾
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."
One of the best hip-hop songs of ALL time.
Bassist really held it down. And Quest. And the keys. And Mos/Kweli.
the fact that this happened is amazing
what can you say?? Perfection. Props to fallon- would t be catching this anywhere else on network tv.
+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
Peace to Blackstarr! Big up to Yasiin Bey

This live version is simply beautiful 😢❤️👌
This is amazing !!! J Dilla is everywhere !!!!
How I miss this music!!! Just happy I got to see both brothers LIVE! From South Africa!
One of the best duos to ever do it.

Questlove's drumming is ON SPOT, godly shit right there
Still a banga in 2022. Real hip hop will never die!!! RIP Dilla
Soulquarians forever.
Dilla flipped hip hop on its head and helped the genre create moments like this. Yasiin.. you’re a god.
Boy Mos Def has some swag!
Okay?!? 💯
Original Flacko 🔥
Peace to the roots and jimmy fallon real shit
The 12 people who disliked this doesn’t understand what good music is.
Ahahahha they even got the "now listen"

What a classic. Its great people come here to listen to good music and not diss or criticize for the sake of it.
Who could possibly not like this ish here?????
Well done men. Years and years of dedication right there. RIP Rubin Hurricane Carter.
This performance is perfect. Everything about it. That's why I listen to it everyday. It just beautiful
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
One of my favourite Dilla Beats...#ripdilla
Glad I found this. So amazing
Just discovered this joint... it's been on repeat for 3 plus days🔥
My Boys. Very Underrated
amazing! performance, band, everything! RIP Jay Dee
one of the best hip hop duo
What an album this would be... Black Star album with beats done by the roots...
Always will love this…❤️
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
🎉🎉
dope... cant believe im seeing this for the for the time..
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"...
Impeccable performance
I just adore the fact jimmy Fallon has soul!
Oh god

THAT SAMPLE IS HOW THEY'RE DOING IT A SERVICE.THIS IS HOW YOU DO AN ALBUM AND IT'S SAMPLES "JUSTICE"!!!!!!
My boos 😍 Love it.
"Hey listen"
Man I miss seeing these guys on the stage rocking out!!!
Me and boy are going to remake this song and do a video inspired by this performance. Suits and everything

Not at all surprised to see that this video has zero dislikes
Wow.. they remade this with that Dilla timing. Spot on. #TheRootsisStillmyfavband
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.🤣
