One of the best and (still underrated) producers created by Hip Hop.

Despite his untimely death in 2006, his catalogue of work and his impact in Hip Hop will always remain.

Happy Birthday Dilla!

Below are a selection of Dilla beats that I dig.

Q-Tip - Let’s Ride

Janet Jackson - Got Till It’s Gone

Common - The Light

The Roots - Dynamite

The Pharcyde - Runnin

Common ft Slum Village - Theolonious

J Dilla - Nothing Like This

Two blocks away from his Harlem home, 88-Keys sits back and recalls the day Q-Tip introduced him to a little detroiter named Jay-Dee during a Beats, Rhymes and Life recording session. Back in 1994, Dilla hadn’t accomplished much yet, but somehow skillz recognized skillz, and 88 gave him a beat-tape with his beeper number on it…

NB : if you’re from Newark and remember jacking this guy’s backpack in the mid-90’s, you might be the owner of the greatest Dilla beat-tapes collection ever. Unless you recorded some bad boy shit on them or just threw these no-rap tapes away.

Thanks to Gasface
