      MrMakemusicmike yeah but he still continued to make dope beats, even if many of them were wack. Only DJ Premier and Havoc can compare. Plus, given enough time everybody falls off. J. Dilla probably did too.

      those are horns, but hip hop makes instruments sound like other instruments...so, hey lol. Like "Shook Ones Pt. II" is a piano sample, but it sounds like a guitar.

    This song brings back memories of how some of the late 90’s music had sooooo much quality, substance n soul. This track is Black Excellence! A Masterpiece that’s timeless! Each notes gold! The craziest thing is I’m just finding out almost 23 years later it was J Dilla. This is why I loved it so much.

    My missions is to give the game a lynching
    Putting suckas on the bench and sounds of ammunition
    Laid by the lyrical commission commensin'
    Raw injection no protection or recollection
    Ya soul is deaden welcome to Armageddon
    So much heat you'll begin sweating
    Leave you unforgiven stole from the garden of Eden
    That's where I met my match can ya catch
    This pitch I'm throwing rap flows owning
    All these wack rappers fools better off as clappers
    Audience witness this beautiful Bliss
    As ya get bullets hit leave ya melon split
    No shit we never sell out to the corporates
    No matter how hard it gets watch for the snakes
    Lurkin' in the pits but I got much venom too spit
    Lyrical fatality it's a flawless victory
    Tryna battle me I'm Nat Turner with the burner
    Revolutionary always see the cemetery early
    But surely I'm hear to rehold the fantasy

    The Instamatic focal point bringing damage to your boroughs
    Be some brothers from the east with some beats that be thorough
    Got the solar gravitation so I'm bound to pull it
    I gets down like brothers are found ducking from bullets
    Gun control means using both hands in my land
    Where it's all about the cautious livin'
    Migrating to a higher form of consequence, compliments
    Of strugglin', that shouldn't be notable,
    Man every word I say should be a hip hop quotable.
    I'm sick of bitches shakin' asses
    I'm sick of talkin' about blunts,
    Sick of Versace glasses,
    Sick of slang,
    Sick of half-ass awards shows,
    Sick of name brand clothes.
    Sick of R&B bitches over bullshit tracks,
    Cocaine and crack
    Which brings sickness to blacks,
    Sick of swoll' head rappers
    With their sicker-than raps
    Clappers and gats
    Makin' the whole sick world collapse
    The facts are gettin' sick
    Even sicker perhaps
    Stickabush to make a bundle to escape this synapse
    Man life can get all up in your ass baby you betta work it out
    Let me tell you what it's all about
    A skin not considered equal
    A meteor has more right than my people
    Who be wastin' time screaming who they've hated
    That's why the Native Tongues have officially been re-instated

    Stakes is high
    (Hey yo, what about that love?)
    Yo, it's about love for cars, love for funds
    Loving to love mad sex, loving to love guns
    Love for opposite, love for fame and wealth
    Love for the fact of no longer loving yourself, kid
    We living in them days of the man-made ways
    Where every aspect is vivid,
    these brothers no longer talk shit
    Hey yo, these niggas live it
    'Bout to give it to you 24/7 on the microphone
    Plug One translating the zone
    No offense to a player, but yo, I don't play
    And if you take offense, fuck it, got to be that way
    J.D. Dove, show your love, what you got to say?
    I say G's are making figures at a high regard
    And niggas dying for it nowadays ain't odd
    Investing in fantasies and not God
    Welcome to reality, see times is hard
    People try to snatch the credit, but can't claim the card
    Showing out in videos, saying they cold stars
    See, shit like that will make your mama cry
    Better watch the way you spend it
    'Cause the stakes is high
    Y'all know them stakes is high
    When we talkin' 'bout the
    (Vibes, vibrations)
    Stakes is high
    I think that smiling in public is against the law
    'Cause love don't get you through life no more
    It's who you know and "How you, son?"
    And how you gettin' in, and who the man holding
    Hey yo, and how was the scams and how high
    Yo what up, huh? I heard you caught a body
    Seem like every man and woman shared a life with John Gotti
    But they ain't organized!
    Mixing crimes with life enzymes
    Taking the big scout route
    And niggas know doubt better
    Than they know their daughters
    And their sons
    (Oh boy)
    Yo, people go through pain and still don't gain
    Positive contact just like my main man
    Who got others cleaning up his physical influence
    His mind got congested
    He got the nine and blew it
    Neighborhoods are now hoods cause nobody's neighbors
    Just animals surviving with that animal behavior
    Under I who be rhyming from dark to light sky
    Experiments when needles and skin connect
    No wonder where we live is called the projects
    When them stakes is high you damn sure try to do
    Anything to get the piece of the pie
    Electrify
    Even die for the cash
    But at last I be out even though you wantin' more
    This issue is closed like an elevator door
    But soon re-opened once we get to the next floor where the

    Much ammo to shoot extractin' enemies loot
    Give ya the boot I'm Hitler student stay prudent
    To the lames of the game my soul tamed
    Once I see Bob Marley light a flame
    Weed overdose til I see a ghost damn near close
    Leaning on the edge of death til my last breath
    Feelin' chef cookin' up rhymes in the back of my mind
    My grind shines make sight out the blind
    Cuz these rhymes divine through a design
    Define perfection from a beat selection
    Minus aggression but I stay testing
    Mics checking
