    Dilla did not simply just turn off quantization for everything. This is a narrative that needs to die. I encourage anyone interested in Dilla to read or listen to Dilla Time, written by Dan Charnas. This book gives a more accurate glimpse behind the scenes of Dilla's life, and technique. It is quite an eye opening book, and changes the perception of some things a lot of us potentially once thought about Dilla as a musician, and as a person. Also doesn't hurt to look into the history of the author, Dan Charnas. Should answer any questions about the book in regard to its authenticity.

    "Don't Cry" actually makes me cry. And the "So far To Go" track comes from the more abstract "Bye." off of Donuts. I prefer the Donuts take to the one that made on Shining because of all the time signature changes. Dilla straight up went "not only am i gonna microchop this, I'm gonna show you these microchops can be stretched fast AND slow. How's THAT"

      Roland drum machines and a 303 long before cheap samplers. If you haven't listened to hip hop from the 1980s you might not know. I was clubbing in those days. Took a while for local musicians got brave enough to put out their own hip hop

      Travel back in time.. put an instrument in your hand.. then try to assemble an entire band. After that make some dates to jam out until you come up with something hot, then meticulously arrange that, then pay to go get it recorded and mixed professionally in pre-digital studio.. wait a couple of years, then have someone take your work and throw a drum loop over it and call it theirs and without trying to credit or pay you. Then come back to modern day and tell me if you understand.

      @@MentalPistol sampling isn’t just putting a drum loop over something that’s where your wrong. You could loop anything it’s not always gonna sound good, you could spend an hour trying to chop a sample and fail. You have to have talent to be able to make something completely new out of something already arranged a certain way. Also if anything sampling someone is like tipping your cap to them, they gave you a idea with what they made and you get to show the original artist how you flipped it. It’s not about stealing art, it’s about magnifying it.

    I recently found out J Dilla used to flip samples previously flipped by other producers as getting his reps in. He would practice like that to see if he could take the sample where the other producer hadn't taken it. I get most of my samples from UA-cam just like a bunch of other producers but I approach it the same way. There's always something more you can do with a sample.
    PS. Jay Dee's entire catalog is insane.

    Something I realized when playing “Donuts” recently - I listen to Dilla the same way I listen to a Jazz album. For example, the way I listen to Miles Davis’ melodies and rhythms is pretty much the same way I listen to sampling virtuosity of Dilla productions. I hope that makes sense.

    When u ask your parents , they always say the vinyl glory days were the 70s , which may cery be the case, but we always say that hip hop culture booming as it did in the 80s will always be directly responsible for keeping the flame lit for phonograph. & no matter how old i get i will always love hip hop for that, it has alot of under appreciated talent hiding within all of its thick layers, most people just see the mc ,

    Most manufactured products, for example, are a "sample " in a sense. They're re-purposed from pieces of other products and made to form a new item with the goal of making it more innovative and enduring, in amd of itself, creating. People who hate sampling should see it in such a light and understand that it's core intent is not to replace what has been made but to appreciate its lasting impact.
