RIP J-DILLA!


When J.Dilla died, it wasn’t like the punch in the face that occurred when other’s passed away for me. It was like taking slow-acting poison or something and I realized the tremendous loss we all suffered. I was aware of Dilla from the Tribe Days to his current stuff, but he was so low-key and humble that I didn’t realize the breadth of work he put out.


Here are some of the videos that I have amassed for one reason or another. As always, I want your input and I will add them to the post as much as possible. When you talk about Black History, you have to mention Dilla. Also, peep AllHipHop’s appreciation of Dilla’s musical legacy. On to the videos!


“WON’T DO”


“Won’t do” – J-Dilla and his brother John as the MC. (Dilla’s beautiful mother appears in this video along with Common, Will.I.Am (Black Eyed Peas), Black Thought (Roots), Frank N Dank, and Talib Kweli.)



INTERVIEW WITH DILLA



INSIDE THE DILLA STUDIO



TRIBUTE TO DILLA!


Check out this tribute to the backdrop of "Can´t Stop This" by The Roots.



NAS & DILLA?



Check out this remix of Nas’ “Hope” with a Dilla beat! “Hip-Hop Will Never Die!”



DILLA LACED DE LA SOUL


I’ll be damned to the gates of Hell if this song hasn’t withstood the test of time and the stakes are still high as Heaven.



J-DILLA PODCAST


One thing about Dilla is that his discography was so extensive that you can never really get it all in a post like this. This here is an instrumental podcast of the man’s unreleased work.



J-DILLA – “F**K THE POLICE”



SLUM VILLAGE FEATURING J-DILLA – “THE REUNION”


Shout out to Black Milk on the beat.



OH YEA – J-DILLA AND MOP


Shout out to DJ Soul! He’s the definition of Hip-Hop and so are M.O.P. and Dilla!



“Let’s Ride” by Q-Tip, by Dilla



THE PHARCYDE – “DROP”


Thanks Dilla!



“FIND A WAY” – TRIBE


Just call me old school illseed – just like Dilla! This is Hip-Hop, you know the stuff I love.



That’s all I have for now, but feel free to tell me your favs and I’ll gladly add them in the bonus section. Also, don’t forget if you want a real bonus, check out AHH’s Aqua because he runs down some of Dilla’s heatrocks on the audio tip.


Oh yeah, click here to see my special favorite crazy ill fresh J-Dilla video. :)


DILLA, WE LOVE YOU!


They keep us talking, but if we stop talking about them then they should worry!

As for J. Dilla, i've heard of him, but never listen to his music.  He is a good artist.  God bless him.

yo dilla was the shit.

i got three of my favourite beats I wanna throw up from him. but I'll wait till later.

he rocked all kinds of crazy shit.
from q-tips amplified album to the beat generation series.

yo but one of the illest quotes i ever heard about hip hop refers to jaydee.

in the fader magazine dj scratch who's a potenent producer in his own right said that jaydee shit was so dope so advanced that people shouldn't even be allowed to listen to it.

it was cool to hear somebody speak with admiration and respect like that.

yo, at the end of the versace wars and in like the early 2000s, it was jaydee, dj spinna, and madlib out the new dudes that was holdin us down.

@illseed

Now this is type of thing I come on this website for.  I know you gotta do your Wendy Williams isht to pay the bills but I have a feeling that this is what you really love to write about.

As a cat who is proud to say he is in his 30s and got to see hiphop gods like Rakim, KRS, and Public Enemy perform in their prime, I'm glad to see Dilla finally getting his much deserved props from the fickle hiphop community.  He didn't just produce tracks, he helped birth the whole neo-soul movement (though I always hated the term 'neosoul').  

My pick out of your examples is that Dilla Podcast that plays some snippets of his unreleased instrumental tracks.  I started nodding my head and freestyling outloud as soon as those beats started bumping.  That beat about 6 minutes in with the James Brown hook and the heavy synths is off the chain...  I swear that is the right rapper's next platinum single.

RIP Dilla... you are one of the greats.

TWON THE DON said:

Liza Rios, widow of Big Pun, sits down and vents on how her family's financial situation has diminished since the legend's passing. It's been 8 years since the death of Big Pun. Liza Rios wants the world to know that his family is not living as well as everyone may think. "People really think that I have a couple of millions and a couple of furs and cars [but] that's not the truth. After Pun hit platinum he started asking where his royalties were. He asked [Fat Joe] in my living room several times, "Where are my royalties?" He already went two times platinum and [was] working on Yeeeah Baby and asking about his checks. The answer was always that it was recouped. Pun let it slide by and just trusted that things would be good. I know he always trusted the fact that if he passed away, his family was going to be good. We even argued about that. He swore, "You're TS, I'm TS!" He punched his chest and said "I'm TS." And I was upset because I didn't trust that-meaning trusting another man to make sure that I'm good.


She goes on to explain that Fat Joe was made to be administrative of Pun's estate. Doing so meant that all the money coming in would go to Joe first and then he would break off a piece for Pun. "Now that Pun's not here, he's supposed to be breaking me off, but he's not. He'll say it hasn't been recouped but if you figure over two million [records sold], c'mon, he's been recouped. I asked to transfer Capital Punishment's and Yeeeah Baby's rights to Pun's estate. The response I got [from the lawyers] was that only Joe could do that. So who's getting the checks then? And even still I've tried to reach Joe, but it never works out. I don't get an answer or anything. I don't hate him. With the times we shared I know we were genuine whether Joe was or not. And I know if it was Joe who passed, best believe that his two kids would've been in my house. I would've taken care of his kids, Pun would've looked after the family, his mom, all of that. Even if Joe doesn't like me, it's about Pun's kids more than anything else."

Chavez threatens to halt oil sales to US By SANDRA SIERRA, Associated Press Writer
1 hour, 9 minutes ago

CARACAS, Venezuela - President Hugo Chavez on Sunday threatened to cut off oil sales to the United States in an "economic war" if Exxon Mobil Corp. wins court judgments to seize billions of dollars in Venezuelan assets.

"I speak to the U.S. empire, because that's the master: continue and you will see that we won't sent one drop of oil to the empire of the United States," Chavez said Sunday.

"The outlaws of Exxon Mobil will never again rob us," Chavez said, accusing the Irving, Texas-based oil company of acting in concert with Washington.

Obama takes early lead in Maine

By GLENN ADAMS, Associated Press Writer
1 hour, 1 minute ago

AUGUSTA, Maine - Democrats overlooked the snowy weather and turned out in heavy numbers for municipal caucuses Sunday, giving Barack Obama a slight lead over Hillary Rodham Clinton in early tallies for the party's party presidential nominee.

Democrats in 420 Maine towns and cities were deciding how the state's 24 delegates will be allotted at the party's national convention in August. Despite the weather, turnout was "incredible," party executive director Arden Manning said.

The Spoiled Under 30 Crowd
If you are 30 or older, you will think this is hilarious!!!! If not,
send it to your parents! They'll think it's funny!
When I was a kid, adults used to bore me to tears with their tedious
diatribes about how hard things were when they were growing up; what
with walking twenty-five miles to school every morning .... Uphill BOTH
ways . Yadda, yadda, yadda
And I remember promising myself that when I grew up, there was no way in
heck I was going to lay a bunch of crap like that on kids about how hard
I had it and how easy they've got it!
But now that...
I'm over the ripe old age of thirty, I can 't help but look around and
notice the youth of today. You've got it so easy! I mean, compared to my
childhood, you live in a dang Utopia! And I hate to say it but you kids
today you don't know how good you've got it!
1. When I was a kid, we didn't have the Internet. If we wanted to know
something, we had to go to the dang library and look it up ourselves...
In the card catalog!! (Do you even know what a card catalog is? Didn't
think so!)
2. There was no email!! We had to actually write somebody a letter...
With a pen! Then you had to walk all the way across the street and put
it in the mailbox and it would take like a week to get there!
3. There were no MP3's or Napsters! If you wanted to steal music, you
had to hitchhike to the dang record store and shoplift it yourself! Or
you had to wait around all day to tape it off the radio and the DJ would
usually talk over the beginning and mess it all up!
4. We didn't have fancy crap like Call Waiting! If you were on the phone
and somebody else called they got a busy signal, that's it!
5. And we didn't have fancy Caller ID Boxes either! When the phone rang,
you had no idea who it was! It could be your school, your mom, your
boss, your bookie, your drug dealer, a collections agent, you just
didn't know!!! You had to pick it up and take your chances, mister!
6. We didn't have any fancy Sony Playstation video games with
high-resolution 3-D graphics! We had the Atari 2600! With games like
"Space Invaders" and "asteroids" and the graphics were horrible! Your
guy was a little square! You actually had to use your imagination! And
there were no multiple levels or screens, it was just one screen
forever! And you could never win. The game just kept getting harder and
harder and faster and faster until you died! Just like LIFE!
7. When you went to the movie theater there no such thing as stadium
seating! All the seats were the same h eight! If a tall guy or some old
broad with a hat sat in front of you and you couldn't see, you were just
screwed!
8. Sure, we had cable television, but back then that was only like 15
channels and there was no onscreen menu! You had to use a little book
called a TV Guide to find out what was on!
And there was no Cartoon Network either! You could only get cartoons on
Saturday Morning. Do you hear what I'm saying!?! We had to wait ALL WEEK
for cartoons!
9. And we didn't have microwaves, if we wanted to heat something up, we
had to use the stove or go build a fire ... Imagine that! If we wanted
popcorn, we had to use that stupid JiffyPop thing or a pan with HOT oil
and Real popcorn kernels and shake it all over the stove forever like an
idiot.
10. When we were on the phone with our friends and our parents
walked-in, we were stuck to the wall with a cord, a 7 foot cord that ran
to the phone - not the phone base, the actual phon e. We barely had
enough length to sit on the floor and still be able to twirl the phone
cord in our fingers. If you suddenly had to go to the bathroom - guess
what we had to do..... Hang up and talk to them later.
That's exactly what I'm talking about! You kids today have got it too
easy. You're spoiled!!
You guys wouldn't have lasted five minutes back in 1980!

The over 30 Crowd

Perhaps the most striking red-carpet arrival was the rapper Nas, who was wearing a black T-shirt boldly emblazoned with the N-word. (A group of women accompanying him were dressed similarly.)

Yea true that make a solid point...

on another note Obama Just shot down alot of what people has been saying about him over the past few weeks...He really got them on the Hope topic...he pretty much made it clear that nothing in life happens without hope and to try and take hope away from the people is trying to really crush what we are living for...He broke down how every leader how to have hope in order to achieve the stuff that they acheived in their life.

So lemme get this straight: you just don't know what an attractive Black woman looks like?

Or you just don't like em?

Oh, naw, I see. I get it. They gotta be on some half-breed shit, right?

Okay. That's cool.

Illseed Jones, I ain't fuckin with you or nuntin but you gotta know how dangerous it is to send out a message that says darkskin women with thick hair are ugly.

And I can hear it now, "well when you get ya site you can put up the kinda women you like. But for now I'm puttin up what I like."

But for real, man. Come on.

Teri, look on the last board. I threw the question up. It was pretty nasty.

Yo I'm bout to be out til tomorrow but my aunt just sent me this. and I'm throwin it up again on monday.

illseed jones, of course you can repost it. I encourage you to.

Black Think Tank
I don't know whether you all have seen the Black Think Tank that Tavis Smiley hosts on C-Span every year, but it is powerful food for thought.  Here are a few of the things learned at the Black Think Tank this month.


1.     The first Americans or Native Americans going back to 13,000 BC were black! Look up the Folsom people who lived in Arizona .

2.     One of the best reasons to stop our use of the term African American and say Black. A white person who born in Africa, who moves to America is An African American and qualifies for financial aid, etc., but will get the jobs/pay privileges afforded to whites.

3.     Look up the Slavery Law of 1665 (which  stayed in effect until 1968 and the Maryland Doctrine of Exclusion - 1638):  both laws state that blacks must be excluded from the benefits afforded whites, and that blacks must remain noncompetitive with whites, except in sports and entertainment.

4.     Two white men: Bill Gates and Larry Elision, combined have more wealth than the combined wealth of all 36 million blacks in America . Civil Rights did not change the economic landscape or the balance of power in  America

5.     Asians received 80% of all government minority set aside contracts. Hello!

6.     Blacks eat more fish than whites by a 4 to 1 margin. For every dollar that whites spend on fish, blacks spend $9 on fish. Fish sold wholesale for $1 will retail at $2.50 - $3.00.  Guess what business we should be in as Blacks?

7.     There isn't any black owned national cable, or major network television stations. Cathy Hughes, the black woman who owns our only black owned radio stations, plans to sell to white owners after hearing the deal Bob Johnson received for selling BET. (Cathy Hughes is from OMAHA y'all!)

8.     There are no black owned companies on the Wall Street Stock Exchange; where blacks own the majority or controlling interest of the stock.

9.     Ninety-six percent (96%) of all black inmates are men.

10.     Over the next two years 440,000 black inmates will be released from prison. The State has no place to put them as they re-enter society. A profitable business would be a Halfway house!

11.     In 1860, 98% of all Blacks in America worked for White people. In 2001, 98% of all Blacks in America still  work for white people.

12.     In 1860, blacks in America had a combined net worth of one half of 1 percentage point. Guess what, in 2001, after Civil Rights,  Jesse Jackson, Oprah, Shaq, NAACP, and Urban League, our combined  net worth is half a percentage point.

13.     For every dollar earned by a Jewish person, that dollar touches 12 to 18 Jewish hands before it leaves their community. For every dollar earned by a black person it leaves the community soon as he or she earns it.

14.     The last week of April 2003 in Washington, DC black teenagers were arrested and booked for eating McDonalds on the metro subway. Cops cited recent 5-4 court decision as the permission to arrest                 law breakers even for minor offenses.

15.     Sixty-seven percent (67%) of all hate crimes in America are against blacks.

16.     After we get through being pleased that we have carpet in our office, a secretary, our name on the door and make six figures, we do not own anything.


17.     What will happen if you miss 6 months of work without pay? All we've left for our children is debt not an inheritance. You cannot pass welfare or food stamps onto our kids as a nest egg! We are not even in "The race".

18.     By the way, the word "race" hit the English language in the 16th century when Europeans held a con test to see who will win the race to gather the lost wealth through exploitation of blacks.

19.     You must read Powernomics by Claude Anderson. This is our blueprint to create wealth, not just have a job, but be a business owner, so you can hire people, be listed on the stock exchange, and develop businesses to meet our needs.

Fools speak because they have to say something

We talking Life if thats the case then half this world would be consider losers...I mean you have to have some form of hope or ideal to where you want to go...Now its all about striving to see that what you hope in becomes reality...so yea those that do hope and put no effort behind that can be classified as a loser...I guess we all just have a different view
