    I truly think if Dilla hadn't passed, the sound of Hip-Hop would be vastly different to what it is today. I think his neo-soul/abstract jazz, un-quantised, bang-clip sound would have been the trend as oppose to trap. He was truly bubbling on the surface of the entire industry wanting his sound to dominate their albums.
    RIP Dilla, the GOAT.

      This particular aspect of Dilla’s artistry continues to have an enormous influence on a high percentage of today’s young jazz musicians including a couple who worked with him personally like Kariem Riggins, Robert Glasper, and the late Roy Hargrove. Other examples include Nicholas Payton, Keifer, Tahirah Memory, and myself.

    Seeing J.Rocc tear up as he saw Dilla's mask had me tear up myself. I'm currently 17 going on 18, and he was a part of my childhood growing up, and yet I myself didn't even know (he had a lot of his beats played on Cartoon Network during late night commercial breaks). His beats were so atmospheric, peaceful, soulful, and sometimes just plain nasty. He's a reason why I got into underground hip hop, and I thank him for that. Rest in Paradise, Dilla.

    22:46 hit me hard. I didn't even realize Dilla spent THAT long in a hospital room. I could just imagine him laying there, with his dreams by his side..his sampler and records. When I listen to Donuts you just feel his energy, pain, and heart on every record. Slum Village took me out of Rap in 1999 and introduced me to REAL Hip Hop. I once thought you needed to be hard to "rap", until realizing that was just an illusion, and there's this beautiful layer of art and passion that people look right past. J Dilla, Madlib, and few others (including J Rocc) are iconic to me. You could look at J Dilla like you do Da Vinci....they paint a portrait of the soul and let the World embrace it and take what they want from it. That mask though...damn couldn't help but wipe my eyes after that part. Sent chills up my spine. God bless these musicians who literally have changed the lives of so many hopeless people who have nothing else to turn to other than Hip Hop.

    I'll never forget December 18, 2000 when I accidentally stumbled upon "The Light" off Common's "Like Water for Chocolate." I was in a CAD class at my high school and my teacher played music during class and that track came on. My 16 year old self was instantly changed - It was that day that I went from metal head to hip hop head. Since then I have sought out as much Dilla material as I could find and now listen mainly to just hip hop, 20 years later. Ma Dukes your son's music changed my life for the better. RIP J.

    J Dilla is one of my favorite hip hop legends not only for is orgasmic beats but also because of the type of man he was. Hearing the story about the magazine from the mom, his brother saying he didn't like the spot light and the record store guys just loving his company. From what I understand J Dilla was a very modest, calm and kindhearted person only interested in the music itself. People like J Dilla do not exist in the music company let alone the rap company anymore. He is very overlooked and underrated for what he brought to the table but even if he were alive to realize it I don't think he would give two fucks and thats the best part!

    In 2006 I was 8 years old, still 7 when Dilla passed. I have come to know his legacy after his passing. It's a very weird mix of emotions, and very hard to describe. Even before knowing the story of the creation behind Donuts, that album was special. That album conveyed and invoked emotions that were so unique. It's timeless. Dilla is a man I never met or have experienced as a human, yet I miss him. I know Jay Dee by his music only. From within his music, and outside, he inspires me. Truly a legend. I don't cry often, but this episode of Crate Diggers brought tears to my eyes with ease. Much love.

    Very funny, sad and all in between. Thank you JROCC and others for give us just a little inside information on Dilla's life. This documentary really inspired and taught me a lesson that a passion for something you do outweighs fame and fortune as Dilla repeatedly show us. A love for his art, the music is all that matter. Again, thank you for the documentary.

    I wish i could have known about J Dillas music in his life. Just learned of him today. Im super impressed. I see he last posted about a year ago. He passed im guessing. Its hard to see the greats loose their life too soon of their times. A whole lotta goats n legends die too early. Breaks my heart. Thanks J Dilla Surely a Legend!

      Yea i did input Dilla Not Dillon Guess the spell checker changed it. I ment no disrespect to his name. I will check it out thank you. I watched a video it was after his life with his mother, who by the way is a beautiful display of her son. Told a really good story of who Dilla was. I love people who love music. The appreciation to the vinyl records is something to admire as the era in music holds time in records that last. I think the records should still be apart of musicians life as it holds the music that lasts. Unlike cds. And tapes, And data. J Dilla a true honor, He had valuable tastes for sure.

    @Justin-dg2nn 6 років тому +1

    The love of music, not fame was the driving force behind his creativity. His own family and friends probably still don't know all the work he's done. That's incredible. And without him, you wouldn't have some of your favorite albums right now. This man is a real inspiration for musicians like myself.

  • @vernwhittii2364

    I remember the day like it was yesterday. I was at a tech conference, takin' a break. Sittin' on the floor up against a pillar, letting my laptop charge, and being upset because the bullshit wi-fi wasn't working. My homie called me, and said " Dilla died, yo". I was surreal. I knew he had been battling illness, but damn. Maybe the only other hip hop death that has taken me off guard was Biggie's. But even then, part of me thought that the east -vs- west violence could claim a life. But when J-Dilla died..... I love that his work has influenced so many, and that many crate diggers and hipsters have caught on to him. Not, that it matters, but my boy put me onto Dilla when the Fantastic vol.1 bootleg dropped. And of course I'd go on to realize how many other tracks he had laid on my favorite joints. But I fell in love with his music the second my boy played that Fantastic Vol. 1 wax. This world is truly a lesser place without him in it. But it is a greater place because of those he inspired.

    • @vernwhittii2364

    At 23:38 when he said "You here, I see you man". That hit, from what I interpreted from those words, its like he realizes Jay Dee was with them chillin looking through his stuff. Probably giving them a quiet mouthful for touching those records haha
