What I love is his unpredictability with his sound. He switches is up, changes styles and brings in sounds you cannot imagine. Then his drums to top it of, which are the best drums from any producer in the history of music. Natural vibes with a deep feeling that cannot be redone. Dilla Is Dilla
Dilla's music is like no other in the sense that, When listening I can picture myself, in a different country, in a different reality, at a different time, and truly believe im there. I can reminisce about the good old days even though I was not alive to witness them. Songs like these remind are special to me, because no matter how shitty life gets, how poor i end up, jobless , on welfare, no matter what.....if I can listen to some dilla and light a joint I can escape from the harsh realities of life
I'd give it a down vote if he was alive. I only like one song of his and it was more of a west coast beat. I hate jazz and people who don't like his samples probably hate jazz too
Been listening to Dilla since 2005 2006,, and I've NEVER heard this joint. That's the beauty of his music, there's so many tapes and instrumentals your still stumbling upon them over 10 years later. Return If Possible, Dilla. ✌️
You’re lame man. I see how old the comment is, but come on!!?? This is not an obscure instrumental; this was the official remix to “come close”. It features a verse from Pharrell and, I believe Mos Def. If you really were listening to Dilla back then, there’s no excuse for not knowing this song. Edit: my bad: Q-Tip obviously for the multiple Tribe homages, not Mos Def.
@@79Glitch don’t forget that it’s Common’s song. Other than that, yeah, ol’ boy was apparently sleeping back then since the joint wasn’t some unused beat.
@@apexone5502 I heard the instrumental 4-5 years (approx.) before the Common remix, though. All the real fans had the Dilla beat tape bootlegs. Edit: my bad. Second time my dates have been wrong about this same post. I think I got the beat tapes right around the time of his death, or soon after. I was thinking “come close” (produced by The Neptunes) was a song off that Neptunes heavy Common record in the ‘08 - ‘09 period, the one where Pharrell flipped the Biggie “dreams of f’n an rnb bitch” James Brown sample, but played it live. But I looked it up and “come close” was actually on the second Dilla project Electric Circus. I guess my time periods are blending together. I’m 43 now, so a lot stuff does tend to blend together, I guess. Peace
Sample of R.A.M.P (roy ayers music project) song "Daylight". This was originally sampled by A Tribe Called Quest on "Bonita Applebaum". Dilla was paying tribute to one of his influeces...Q Tip.
Paul Stoddard He could’ve already known that. It’s just quicker to say Bonita as shorthand rather than namechecking the RAMP song name that not every viewer here knows
Whoooooooooo.....there are soooo many bangers out there. This definitely ranks high on my list of favorites. DAMN...I am so glad I grew up in the era of the great Hip Hop producers. I'll be pressing repeat on this for the next two hours.........thank you so much for posting this!!
The way the original track is almost ethereal in the background has me feeling like he's still doing this from beyond the veil, RIP JD the #1 soul brotha
+Jeremiah Vink technically this is and isn't roy ayers ..this sample is from the band "ramp" the song is called "daylight" i first herd this sample used in the bonita joint in my youth but years later i discovered the sample itself in gta 4 lol.....now it is and isn't roy ayes because Mr. ayers wasn't apart of the band HOWEVER he in fact did write and produce for the band ...just saying ...and don't get mad a folks bro ..the just get excited to share what they know just because its obvious to you don't mean its obvious to them try to keep an open mind brother
Well it's still a Roy Ayers sample because he wrote and produced the song, for RAMP & lol but seriously it's 2015 If they look through the comment section they'll see a bunch of comments saying this has got to do with both Roy Ayers and RAMP
+yeahhhboiii16 Dilla was a master, no doubt but there are other beat makers who I'd personally rate just as highly like Flying Lotus, Madlib, Havoc, RZA, Dre and Stoupe just off the top of my head.
its kinda scary how far away im from dillas greatness in music right now, ive come such a long way but man to reach my master i will have to work so much and thats so exciting.
Dilla's application of space to his beats reminds me of Miles Davis approach. It's not the notes you play; it's the notes you don't play - Miles Davis For Dilla It's not the beats you play; it's the beats you don't play.
agreed, but IMO the two aren't comparable. bonita applebum came out in 1990 and this remix was done in 2002, and to say that sampling didn't change in those 12 years is a bit unfair. bonita applebum is brilliant for its groundbreaking sampling and drum work, come close remix is brilliant for its advanced layering and mixing techniques. both are practically genius-level works for the context in which they were released.
i know. i'm saying that it's undeniable that hip hop evolved in the span of 12 years, so comparing the two in that way is a little bit pointless as their cultural importance is different. things like oil paints were used 100 years ago and are still used today, but art has evolved since then and comparing two pieces from two separate times on the grounds by which they're made is unfair IMO.
Damn, the way he flipped Bonita applebum is crazy. Gave it a whole different vibe.
That's y Q-Tip was on here
There was music before Dilla, then there was music after Dilla, the man single-handedly changed all modern music!,, That’s why he is 2nd to none!,
those subtle stops make all the difference. fuckin beat genius.
Check out 9th wonder or the maestro dj premier
+Dani Zareen you know its good when you listen to it 500 times and each time is like the first
yo like we dont know 9th wonder or premier... they great, but aren't on jay dee's level
LexxMachinima yeah but by the first 2 I was sold
oh my god I see u everywhere😭

I think Madlib the goat and I have to agree that Dilla drums are the best ever!
One of the greatest beats I’ve ever heard.
Cleanest mix I’ve ever heard in my adult life.
The best there was, there is and ever will be! RIP Jdilla, your music lives on forever!
The excellence of producing J "Hitmaker" Dilla.✊
God needed some quality production up in heaven. RIP 👑
Wonderful comment.
best comment ever lol

tru shit
That was deep brother I just smoked to blunts while listening to this, I feel you brother
I feel that.as does every single Dilla head
Dilla's music is perfect for a high
Well said brother ✊✊✊
There really shouldn't be any dislikes on any Dilla beats AT ALL!!!!!! Respect!!!!!
+Larry Curry Yeah, those poor four people must be deaf smh....
+Larry Curry my only dislike is that thisdoesn't go onforever...
I hear ya on that
I'd give it a down vote if he was alive. I only like one song of his and it was more of a west coast beat. I hate jazz and people who don't like his samples probably hate jazz too
Larry Curry
personal preference not everyone has the same experiences leading to different perspective
Who else stumbled upon this beat after drifting into that zone of UA-cam which featured dilla instrumentals? My goodness.
+BeastNation2009 so lush
The best place of hip hop on YT.
BeastNation2009 I did brother
jus did
BeastNation2009 always..! 05:10 am #UK time -5 word..!
all the little details are mindblowing, jay always took it to another level

TheDonutManVibingOut It's entitled "On The One" from Jay Dee's "Vintage" CD on Bling47 💯
word!
I like dillas flip better
Yes but he made it 10 times better
This joint is so sweet 🎯✨️💫
The goat for a reason
This man will always be a legend RIP Dilla
I listen to many types of music, and these beats are still the best music i have ever heard. RIP J DILLA
Only producer of music in any genre that I get chills up my spine every time I listen to him
this is literally a brain massage. Imma listen to this whenever I'm stressed
J Dilla is still with us, all you gotta do is hit play 💞
Ain't that nothing but the TRUTH brother! Still finding beats never heard before.
Indeed
This is one of the best J Dilla instrumentals of all time , it’s really really good 🔥.
Lovin the Bonita sample.
I love you
Paul Stoddard He could’ve already known that. It’s just quicker to say Bonita as shorthand rather than namechecking the RAMP song name that not every viewer here knows
Sampled from Daylight by RAMP (Roy Ayers Music Project)
@@KaizerBeatz-vf9wf nah know the original song cuz that’s the song that makes it all possible
@@slowedman8067 pause
Such smooth vibes. RIP Dilla.
the beauty of sound!!! he had angels guiding him!!!
Indeed definitely a divine force.
goodness... I will always be Madlib number 1 fan.... but Dilla is my Pops with this music and prince is the master
Who else ABSOLUTELY HAS to listen to J Dilla as you fall asleep🤷🏽♀️Simply the best there was or ever will be🙌🏾RIP Jay Dee🙏🏾❤️🥂💃🏾

He is 2nd to none!,
Dilla takes me places no one else can. RIP Beat God ✊️ 🙏
Reuniting with this beat again four years later , still hits the same , that’s the sorcery of dilla
J Dee the legend🐐
Dilla face sticker on my back windshield rollin' around Detroit showing respect like I'm suppose to. Dilla will always be Detroit's finest! R.I.Beats
goddamn, so pleasurable and satisfying. there's no way this can be improved or be better, it's literally perfect
Man I thought I heard them all, been years since I've heard a new dilla track
This joint was officially released. It’s the “Come Close remix” from Common. It featured Pharrell, Erykah Badu, and Q-Tip.
Whoooooooooo.....there are soooo many bangers out there. This definitely ranks high on my list of favorites. DAMN...I am so glad I grew up in the era of the great Hip Hop producers. I'll be pressing repeat on this for the next two hours.........thank you so much for posting this!!
Dilla did his thing with this beat! We miss you Dilla!
At 2:55 he opens the door for us to walk into a different room then quickly closes it just to tease, absolute legend
tell your kids about Dilla!!!
And your great grands and write a book that lasts for 10,000 years!!!!!!!
Ssensi Skunk my son knows his beats and rhyme too them.he's 17

Grandson: 'Grandpa, who is J Dilla"
Me: Sit down kid, I have a story to tell...
.....And he lived happily ever after."
I just can't stop playing it

Jesse Davis true 😂
what an amazing beat, quite literally the greatest one i EVER heard!
A fly love!
one of the best of Dillas 🙌🏼
What If people stopped commenting on how obviously the Roy Ayers sample was used here and just enjoy the beat ??
Agreed.
Jeremiah Vink Cause dey like to compare their tiny dicks
Bhristian Cale True LOL
+Jeremiah Vink technically this is and isn't roy ayers ..this sample is from the band "ramp" the song is called "daylight" i first herd this sample used in the bonita joint in my youth but years later i discovered the sample itself in gta 4 lol.....now it is and isn't roy ayes because Mr. ayers wasn't apart of the band HOWEVER he in fact did write and produce for the band ...just saying ...and don't get mad a folks bro ..the just get excited to share what they know just because its obvious to you don't mean its obvious to them try to keep an open mind brother

This sound like something Dwele would sing on which J Dilla did produce some of his music
daleshareemlee some 2000s vibes fr
This that Drive by yourself when the Sun is setting, and smoking a Wine B&M or a Blunt just vibing to the instrumental!
Or a good Cognac and a Gurkha.
I feel at home when I hear this ! #Detroit
While we are alive we are in the Matrix, when we die then we truly wake up , but some can hear the sounds of the u n i verse , rip J Dilla
J dilla 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 saved my life ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
He flipped the hell out of this is the best beat I have ever heard all jokes aside
Oh my goodness, I never heard this before!!! I ran into this nice beat!!!!!!
Insane beat by Dilla, no doubt.
Favorite dilla beat the way he arranged this proves that he is from outter space RIP KING
A dilla beat always sounds like a dilla beat no matter how many times you listen to it
this is the best beat of all time, if you can think of a better one let me know ive never heard anything better than this
*****
that's actually my favorite common song!
+yeahhhboiii16 Dilla was a master, no doubt but there are other beat makers who I'd personally rate just as highly like Flying Lotus, Madlib, Havoc, RZA, Dre and Stoupe just off the top of my head.
all for you little brother.... it's quite a few tracks are better.
+Michael P yo yo affair and maybe steal this beat from madlib match with this imo
+yeahhhboiii16 yea this beat iz crazy but he got some more bangers out there : "Certified" on Guru's Jazzmatazz record hit hard like this too !
J DILLA.
FOREVER & EVER
Favorite Jay D beat
A whole vibe!!! 😍
His beat be equaling out my brain waves.
Dilla definitely was a scientist of sound TO HEAL. It's clear at this point.
FUNKMASTER FKEX ROCKED THIS ONE NIGHT ,,, AND OMG........THANX DILLA
🔥👌🏽🙏🏽💗 love you Dilla rest in peace bro
Man I don't know if this video is good or bad for hip-hop. I just love the nostalgia of not knowing where the samples stem from.
Every dilla beat has a certain time to switch into you and to bring out your self..❤️jay dee..
its kinda scary how far away im from dillas greatness in music right now, ive come such a long way but man to reach my master i will have to work so much and thats so exciting.
a masterpiece.
Rest in Beats Jay Dee
this beat makes me feel like im on a episode of samurai jack
Dilla's application of space to his beats reminds me of Miles Davis approach.
It's not the notes you play; it's the notes you don't play - Miles Davis
For Dilla It's not the beats you play; it's the beats you don't play.
Simplemente brillante!!....
Could very easily see slick rick spitting something over this.
shit! he can! he still makes music!
The best to ever do it
Who else feels like this should have been the version on the *"Electric Circus"* album?
Come Close...Come Closer. I definitely feel a connection there.
Electric Circus sounded very Roy Ayers inspired as well.
try whistling to this beat. crazy
so smooth.....
So Chill 🔥💯
You can hear the Q-tip and Ali Shaheed influence here. A lot of Tribe vibrations in this. - And it even samples Bonita Applebum.
Beat genius!
I legit can't stop listening to this beat
type shit my uncle used to play over his house with the subs buzzing. can smell the sandalwood burning and backwood smoke to this day
Sooo happy I got this in my old people discography: lucky.
Word! This beat is dope! 👊
Another day, another Dilla joint.
this song!!!!!!! & the heyyyy is so pretty
Happy Dilla Month Y'all!!! King Of Beats!!!
Straight 🔥🔥🔥🔥RIP Dilla You The Great!!
Listen to this remix all the time....Never knew it was a Dilla beat!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAY DILLA
JDilla is a Real True Legend
He flipped this way sicker then the tribe version

Ian Haskell it doesnt matter what year this was made he still used the same technology which was a mpc 3000 and a numark pt01 turntable

oh ok i get you now
Way sicker every1 agrees EVEN TRIBE ask tip lol
OooooooooWeeeeeeeee......stumble acrossed puttin in work....
